An Appalachian advocacy group is blasting CBS's upcoming reality show The Real Beverly Hillbillies. The Kentucky-based Center for Rural Strategies took out ads in several major newspapers Tuesday criticizing the series for mocking "low-income rural folks." The show — which places a rural family in a Beverly Hills mansion — is slated to debut sometime in the spring or summer.
