There may be other reasons, but I suspect one is that the show really lost focus in the final seasons. It became less about using the Hillbillies to make fun of the city people and more about making fun of the Hillbillies. With that change, there wasn't much of a role for her.
She was in S8, The Hero, episode 13 aired on 12-17-69. She might have been on a follow up episode or two, but that was the last episode I remember her being in. At least she was prominently portrayed as the focal point along with guest Soupy Sales.
Here's to hoping we see another drop or two before release the date!
I periodically check my pre-orders at Amazon for price drops and when doing so today found The Beverly Hillbillies - S1 has dropped to $22.99.
At the moment, I'm debating between this and THE HONEYMOONERS CLASSIC 39 EPISODE set from '03! From what I recall, I really loved the early Beverly Hillbillies episodes, and the night of broadcast options (Which I've never seen!) are enticing! The current pricing on Amazon Canada is pretty comparable (Under $25 each) for both.
Honeymooners is out on blu-ray in much better pq. Go with the HillbilliesAt the moment, I'm debating between this and THE HONEYMOONERS CLASSIC 39 EPISODE set from '03!

CHEERS!
Thanks, Joe! I was unaware (Or perhaps, I forgot?) of THE HONEYMOONERS more recent Blu-ray release! Are these original night of broadcast versions, by chance?
