Episodes
Season 1
Californy, Here We Come
The McCoys move from Smokey Corners, West Virginia., to a ranch in Fernando Valley, Calif., which Grampa McCoy has inherited from his brother Ben. They have also inherited Pepino, a ranch hand, and they meet their neighbors, Flora and George MacMichael. But Grampa finds himself homesick for ""West Virginny.""
The Egg War
The McCoys start a roadside eggstand and, inadvertently, an egg war with neighbor Harry Poulson.
Kate's Dress
The male McCoys try to outwit the female members by using money in the cookie jar to buy a shotgun rather than a dress for Kate to attend the PTA meeting. When the men concede defeat and they buy Kate a dress, things get even worse. Fortunately, the PTA president is able to correct their choice of dress.
Grampa Sells His Gun
The McCoys find themselves in trouble when they need $150 to meet a mortgage payment. Checking through all their wordly goods, they discover their only valuable asset is a rifle handed down to Grampa by his great-grandfather. Grampa finally decides parting with his treasure is better than borrowing money from his neighbor George.
A Question of Discipline
Grampa McCoy takes over the supervision of Hassie and Little Luke when, after getting bad grades in school, Kate starts to discipline them. He soon learns it isn't as easy as he thought and is happy to turn the job back to Kate.
You Can't Cheat an Honest Man
Grampa thinks he's made a sharp business deal when he sells some useless farm land, until he finds out the freeway is going through that part of their land. Luke and Kate feel Grampa has been swindled -- but Grampa's native honesty saves the day for the McCoys.
Luke Gets His Freedom
When Grampa thinks Luke is being henpecked by Kate, Luke decides to prove him wrong—and ends up sleeping on the couch in the living room.
Grampa's Date
Luke and Kate urge Grampa to invite Flora MacMichael as his date to attend the Valley Ranchers annual fall dance and box supper. Grampa will have none of it until he hears that Flora is the best cook in the county.
