1	!!Specific Tropes:
2
3	* ActingForTwo: Max Baer, Jr. portrayed Jethro and Jethrine in the series. Creator/DiedrichBader portrayed them in the film.
4	* TheCharacterDiedWithHer: The reason Granny isn't seen in ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'', as Irene Ryan had passed away in 1973.
5	* IAmNotSpock: With the exception of Creator/BuddyEbsen, who managed to move immediately to ''Series/BarnabyJones'', the cast struggled to move beyond this series and their iconic roles.
6	* TheOtherDarrin: ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'' replaced Max Baer, Jr. with Ray Young as Jethro.
7	* RealSongThemeTune: "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" recorded by legendary Bluegrass duo Flatt & Scruggs.
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'' was produced as a quasi-PilotMovie for a possible revival of the series, but said revival never came to pass.
9	** 20th Century Fox was initially against Creator/PenelopeSpheeris' idea of casting Creator/JimVarney as Jedd Clampett, wanting Creator/SamElliott in the role as they thought Varney was too well-known as Ernest P. Worrell and likely thought he would play the part as such. However Varney gave such an impressive screen test that Spheeris got her way and as such, Varney's performance as Jedd is one of the best things about the film.
10	** Originally; Bea Benaderet was intended to play Granny before Irene Ryan won the role on the strength of her audition. Benaderet, as mentioned under YouLookFamiliar, would eventually play Cousin Pearl before moving on to sister show ''Series/PetticoatJunction'' as Kate Bradley.
11	* YouLookFamiliar:
12	** Buddy Ebsen appeared in a RemakeCameo in the 1993 movie ... as [[spoiler:his OTHER TV role, Series/BarnabyJones]].
13	** Bea Benaderet went from playing Cousin Pearl to starring in ''Series/PetticoatJunction'' (a sister show to ''Hillbillies'', also created by Paul Henning, with the two shows occasionally crossing over).
14	** Mike Minor had already appeared on ''Hillbillies'' as his established ''Series/PetticoatJunction'' character, Steve Elliot, but that didn't stop him from appearing in the final episodes as a completely unrelated swindler who romances Elly Mae and Miss Jane.
