background

Tammy was based in part on the three American films Tammy (1957, with Debbie Reynolds ), Tammy Tell Me True (1961) and Sandra and the Doctor ( Tammy and the Doctor , 1963), both with Sandra Dee in the lead role. The films were adaptations of the novel Tammy, the Girl from Mississippi ( Tammy Out of Time ) by Cid Ricketts Sumner . The series was also influenced by other sitcoms set in the country, such as The Beverly Hillbillies . In particular, there are similarities between the role of Jethro Bodine in Beverly Hillbillies and that of Tammy's cousin Cletus Tarleton in Tammy .

The movie Tammy and the Millionaire was cut from four television episodes in 1967 , in which Tammy's cousin Cletus Tarleton does not appear.

The series is available on DVD in Germany. It was last broadcast on German-speaking television in 1993 on RTL 2 .
