The show was relatively short lived (only 26 episodes on [[ABC]], all broadcast in 1962) but has gained a healthy cult following over the years. The Clampett family has also released the entire series on two DVD collections, packed with plenty of supplementary material, including an ultra-rare short Clampett made for Republic Pictures!
 
Beany and Cecil also has one other quirk which almost never happens in media. The listed [[Copyright]] owner of the cartoons is not some corporate entity or animation company, but Bob Clampett personally. Individuals almost never get to own the rights to their creations because they're employees and thus it's a [[Workwork Forfor Hirehire]] or they often incorporate their own company and have it own their work for tax reasons.
 
A revival of the series was attempted in the late 1980s by Bob's family and [[John Kricfalusi]], but promptly crumbled following creative differences between Kricfalusi and the editors, with ABC accusing Kricfalusi of inserting unapproved material, and promptly fired him. The series was quickly cancelled after only 5 episodes had aired.
