He was an American musician noted for popularizing a three-finger banjo picking style,
now called "Scruggs style", which is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music.
I used to watch Beverly Hillbillies as a child, when I had the chance. So I went over to wiki to see who the creator was, Paul Henning. He not only created and wrote the scripts, he also wrote the theme song.
I was amazed to learn of the other tv series he created. The man had quite the impact on US culture.
Writing proved the more lucrative of the two, so he abandoned singing in order to write for series like Fibber McGee and Molly and The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, and later TV series like The Dennis Day Show, The Real McCoys, and The Andy Griffith Show. Henning was also the creator, writer, and producer of The Bob Cummings Show, where he met many of the actors who appeared in his later series. He produced the Ray Bolger Show, and wrote (or co-wrote) screenplays such as Lover Come Back (1961, for which he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing: original screenplay), and (with Stanley Shapiro) Bedtime Story (1964), which was re-made in 1988 as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Steve Martin, Michael Caine), and again in 2019, as The Hustle (Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson).

...during the great depression from the dust bowl to the squatter shack Hoovervilles of California described by Steinbeck in his classic novel, The Grapes of Wrath. Henry Fonda starred in the 1940 movie. The terrible hardships of the American people during that transition of an impoverished American people camping out in their wagons or tin lizzies contrasted with the Clampetts' move occasioned by fortuitous wealth. This was a major paradigm shift between generations, and media. From wrath to humor...to what now?

Thanks
perhaps the PTB have a similar fate in
mind for us 100 years on?

I'm thinking a week from Thursday. After all, the sooner the Owners can encourage us all to arrive at that wholesale-dying point, the happier they'll be...
Not a fan. However, when we get to that point, I'm thinking that they'll taste pretty good with ketchup. (;-)

Regrettably,
that joke just writes itself...
Would that it were not so. But we're definitely on the same page.
At least until we get to the ketchup, anyway. I still have my fork (Ai Cula Ni Bokol), from a trip to Fiji years ago...
