Mammoth Studios


Mammoth Studios is the generic name used for fictional movie studios in movies, television, books and comic books. Mammoth Pictures Studios has appeared in movies such as Bombshell, Abbott and Costello in Hollywood, and Merton of the Movies, as well as the television series The Beverly Hillbillies. Four episodes of The Monkees from 1966-1968 mention "Mammoth Studio", but not "Mammoth Pictures Studios". Mammoth Pictures Studios has appeared in books such as The Woman Chaser by Charles Willeford, and comic books, such as "Blueribbon Comics" and Marvel's Tower of Shadows in 1970 and the 70’s TV series “Emergency!” Episode 3, ‘Botulism’. But it is never the same studio; the signs and sets are different. In the episodes of The Monkees, Mammoth Studio goes from being active in 1966 to being bankrupt and abandoned in 1967 and finally being turned into KXIW, a television station, in 1968. During this same time, Mammoth Pictures Studios was a thriving studio owned by Jed Clampett on episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, where it was operated by Lawrence Chapman, proving it to be a different studio. It was last seen February, 2018 in the TV series "Endeavour", series 5 episode 2, "Cartouche". Though the conversion to Television Station KXIW did not occur until 1968 on "The Monkeys," KXIW made an appearance on "Bewitched," on 10 March 1966.
