The Real McCoys Full Episodes 1957–1963 Season 5 Episode 06 - Kate sticks her nose into Grampas business.\r
\r
The Real McCoys revolves around the lives of a mountain family who originally hailed from fictional Smokey Corners, West Virginia. The McCoys moved to California and became dirt farmers. The family consisted of Grandpa Amos McCoy (Walter Brennan); his grandson Luke (Richard Crenna), Lukes new bride Kate (Kathy Nolan), Lukes teenage sister Hassie (Lydia Reed), and his 11-year-old brother, Little Luke (Michael Winkelman). The double-naming of the brothers was explained in the first episode by the elder Luke: Because their parents were so excited over the birth of the younger boy, they forgot all about me! Only Crenna was in every episode.\r
\r
The McCoys farm had previously been owned by an uncle, Ben McCoy, who died. The former West Virginians joined the Grange farm association and acquired a Mexican farm hand named Pepino Garcia, played by the Puerto Rican-born Tony Martinez. In the episode which aired on January 8, 1962, Pepino becomes an American citizen and takes the surname name McCoy. The McMichaels, a brother and sister combination played by Andy Clyde and Madge Blake in twenty-nine and twenty-one episodes, respectively, lived on the hill not far from the McCoys. Amos McCoy and George MacMichael, both rather devious individuals, would sometimes quarrel, particularly over their games of checkers. Kate was friendly with Flora McMichael, Georges sister, and became involved with life in the community. Though still in her twenties, Kate served as a mother figure for Lukes younger siblings, Hassie and Little Luke, and one episode shows her bewilderment in trying to entice the children to take responsibility for their school studies. Many episodes have a moral theme consistent with the conservative views of Walter Brennan, such as two 1957 segments entitled You Cant Cheat an Honest Man with Joseph Kearns, later of Dennis the Menace, and Gambling Is a Sin, in which Amos allows a casino to advertise on McCoy property before the ethics of the matter is brought to his attention.[1] Other such episodes are Go Fight City Hall, The Taxman Cometh, You Cant Always Be a Hero, You Never Get Too Old, Where Theres a Will, Beware a Smart Woman, Money in the Bank, How to Win Friends, Youre As Young As You Feel, Honesty Is the Best Policy, and Never a Lender Be.\r
\r
From the hills of West Virginia, Amos McCoy moves his family to an inherited farm in California. Grandpa Amos is quick to give advice to his three grandchildren and wonders how his neighbors ever managed without him around.\r
