Watched it every week as a child and remember it like it was yesterday. Simpler times, beloved characters, a kinder world. Longing for those sweet days...
I miss those days, too. So thankful that one of my local TV channels reran Petticoat Junction and also Little House on the Prairie weekday afternoons in the early 1980s, so I was able to watch both of those shows after elementary school.
Same here! The old/original TV shows were much better written & more realistic. ... no sarcasm, people treated each other with respect and the children in the old TV shows never talked back to their parents or authority figures. As I was growing up in the 60,'s & 70's, if I spoke to my parents,, teacher's,, neighborhood parent,, etc like the TV kids talk today,, I wouldn't be able to sit down for a week!
I haven't REALLY sat down and intentionally watched sitcoms for years, most REALLY suck. But I have watched Big Bang occasionally, and it's pretty good, and watched 70's Show occasionally, because I thought/think Mila Kunis is pretty fine, but it was pretty good because it referenced my period of growing up, and I could relate.
Loved Betty Jo! The romance between her and Steve was very special! Still can't get enough of The Beverly Hillbillies! The writing was top notch along with the cast members. A timeless classic!
What a great, comforting show from our childhoods! My favorite gal was Lori Saunders as Bobbi-Jo; I had a crush on her. I always looked forward to the start of the show when the three sisters were in the water tower. Bobbi-Jo, what a babe!
I often think like you do. It seemed as if people had more manners. But then l remind myself that those were also the days of the of the JFK assassination, Vietnam War, Civil Rights Era, which led to 2 more assassinations--MLK & Robert Kennedy. It was quite a tumultuous decade.
One of my favorite shows ever! I still watch it almost every night on dvd. I go to sleep thinking about simpler, better times. Though I loved all the characters on the show, Kate was my favorite.
Floyd was played by Rufe Davis. I saw him on one of the first 'The Lone Ranger" episodes, filmed in 1949! He played "Pete" in the "Pete and Pedro" episode. Pedro was played by Don Diamond, later famous as "Crazy Cat" on "F Troop." He lived to be 90 (June 2011).
Watched every week as a child in the 60’s then rediscovered it again in 2012 on Me tv. Now I can watch it on Amazon prime. I loved the little cottage where Steve and Betty Jo lived when they first get married. My fav episode was the daycare. Betty Jo was my fav
Petticoat Junction is a sitcom that originally aired on CBS from September 1963 to April 1970. The series takes place at the Shady Rest Hotel, which is run by Kate Bradley, her three daughters Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo, and her uncle Joe Carson. I know so much about it and I miss it too. How are you doing Georgette, hope you are safe from the crazy Covid?
There's a cottage nearby that reminds me of it. It is being left in disrepair. It's sad. It looks to be the perfect honeymoon cottage on a beautiful pond.
I loved this show and all the actresses and actors of it that made the show so memorable. We need a return back to these type of the shows, and the simpler non violent way of life that existed when these shows were made. We need the good old fashion ways of life back. When history tends to repeat itself hopes the things that made up this era makes a return back again.
Lori Saunders was (and still is) my favorite. I had a huge crush on her and still think of her first when I think of the show, lol. When the networks cleared out all of the wholesome "country" shows it was the beginning of the end. It was then that society began its slow descent to the point we are at today. I miss those shows and the wholesome entertainment they provided.
I'm a 90s kid but I really enjoy a ton of 60s shows! Petticoat Junction and Green Acres were the first ones I got into! My favorite Bradley sister is Bobby Jo and of course loved Kate Bradley. So sad that Bea Benaderet passed so soon :(
I love Bea as Blanche on the Burns and Allen show. Her laugh cracks me up. I just saw her as Pearl on the Hillbillies this morning. They wanted her to play Granny, but she was too buxom to play the part. I thought it was she was too tall as well. She was 5"3" tall. Seeing her next to Irene, both points became crystal clear. The show was never the same after her passing. June Lockhart is an excellent actress, but she wasn't a good fit in Hooterville.
Lucky you! I too had a big crush on Saunders as a kid; that must have been great meeting one of your childhood crushes (now if I could only meet Saunders AND Joey Heatherton!)
Always thought MacRae was the prettiest but in the end Lori was also my favorite. There was just something about her hard to put into words. Sort of like preferring MaryAnn over Ginger.
I was born in 1959,and watched the show back then and now I bought the whole series.myself I was always in love with Betty joe,the tom boy that came out to be a beautiful princess was and still the way I saw it.so good luck and good times to all of the Betty joe tom bays across our big beautiful country now.just bite your time and sooner or later you will end up being a beautiful princess like betty joe did on our favorite tv series petticoat junction!!!!!
I loved all 3 shows! And loved how all 3 interlinked at times. I wish I had a big wooden wrap around porch with a rocking chair! Those times seem so long ago.... want them back
My sister used to babysit for "Miss Meredith" when she and her then-husband, Greg Mullavey, their daughter, Allison, and a couple of huge dogs lived in the hills of Encino. I got to meet her once when I went to give my sister a ride home...she was very nice!
Imagine if Meredith MacRae could've appeared on The Brady Bunch, possibly as Marcia's cheerleading coach, opposite Maureen McCormick. I'm pretty sure Florence Henderson might've lobbied Sherwood Schwartz to get Meredith a guest-starring role, while she made appearances on Love American Style, during the early 1970's!!!
I'm 60 so don't always remember all these nostalgic shows but did enjoy yours.Of course Linda kay Henning's father created all these shows .Did like such a simple show such as Petticoat Junction.Life was much simpler then.
definite Golden Memories.. good shows not dirty or foul,. something a family could watch and enjoy the classics like these shows were a great part to watch and really enjoy! lovely cast always!
I must admit personally I enjoyed all the shows they were simple they were entertaining yes these three young ladies were really probably still are very beautiful young ladies you don’t life was simple you didn’t need to be complicated it was honest people were honest with each other maybe we missed something maybe we didn’t grow as much they did
Loved all three shows, tv without violence. I have just watched Petty coat junction and the Beverly Hillbillies start to finnish. My wife left me, and I needed something wholesome to soothe me within. Worked like a charm. I have loved these programs from way back, when life was way more simple. When l was a child, I had some problems with the characters dying and their replacements. I didn't understand that this was not real. I was very young at the time. Still, every now and then I will watch an episode or two. Still heart warming to me.
All time favorite line - one of the girl's had received a letter with an important announcement - she was not around and Kate was curious what was in the letter but told Uncle Joe that she wanted to open the letter but her conscience would not let her do it - Joe said "I'll open it, I haven't listened to my conscience in years" LMAO
I remember watching and loving this show with my sister Bonnie, I loved the theme song and would go around the house singing it constantly. ..drove my sister crazy.
Loved this as a preteen! We never missed it! We all sat around our tv, my mom, Nana & siblings watching this fun series! I loved all the characters on this series!
Maybe this new generation needs to watch these old tv shows. I love that era! I still find myself stepping back into time watching the re-runs on tv. Times were so good back then.
@@liamroberts9047 Doing well, Liam! How about you? I love these old shows clips! Both of my parents are gone now and watching these shows I watched growing up, reminds me of them!
Sadly, you can never go back. If only we could. To change the outcome of unpleasant situations, to react more positively, to take back something you said, before you said it. Marriages come and go, but the love never truly dies. I believe mine is ending. I'm pretty broken up about it. But some things that get broken are truly unfixable......
My favorite was always Betty Jo, I like the storyline when she meets her husband & has the baby. I watch episodes sometimes now on YT, it’s definitely better than tv today. And dang if I didn’t grow up and marry a pilot too!
This was a wonderful family show. That opening sequence and theme song still puts a smile on my face. The Canonball was a character itself and helped pull all the stories together. Linda Kaye Henning was my favorite daughter but my crush was on Mike Minor
Bobby Jo was and still is my favorite Bradley sister. I had a crush on my neighbor who was a spitting image of her. Both were absolutely gorgeous. WOW🥰
One of my favorite as a kid. I was heart broken when "Kate" died. And the neighborhood kids were sad about it as well. I was 10 when she died. But as I got older and reruns started flooding local time slots in the early '70's; I got used to "Dr. Janet Craig". They couldn't have picked a better, warmer character to replace Ms. Benederate. After all, she was the loving mother of "Timmy & Lassie" , and the family "lost in space"! My favorite Bradley girl was 'Lori Saunders', hands down!
I was named after Bobbie Jo, my dad was obsessed with her! After binging on 6 seasons in the past week, it's easy to see why, she's stunning! I can't stop watching this show!
As a kid , petticoat junction was my favorite, I really liked Bea Benaderet. I read her father was Turkish and a tobacconist. She was born in NYC but raised in San Francisco. She was on the old Burns and Allen TV show
I loved the show as a kid, but I remember when Betty Jo and Steve went on their honeymoon and she was fascinated watching him shave. It felt strangely uncomfortable to me as a little kid. Kinda pulled back the honeymoon curtain for me.
"How sweet it is." Ran from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm with patriotic sign on and sign off. I would get a lump in my throat. Today's kids actually get mad when they see it. Television had a lot of snow, and always had to work to get reception. We didn't ever have anything other than rabbit ears over the decades.
I watched every week and enjoyed the show as well as Greenacres and Beverly hillbillies. I never thought about it as a youngster and then when I got older I laughed like crazy and how the writers were able to name the town Hooterville that’s hilarious!
It's was great for me a kid to set on all those sets green acres my grandfather was the production supervisor of all those shows his name was george king
I like all the characters n The Beverly Hillbillies was a fav but Lori Saunders was my very favorite. I still think she's beautiful but as a kid, I think I had a bit of a crush. Nice to see the old shows on again❤
What I remember most often is their games: “Monotony,” “Scribble,” and “Cabbage”-it does not get any weirder than that! As a kid, even, I loved language jokes! And the Hooterville Cannonball, and the petticoats scenes in the opening. Sam Drucker was my favorite, as he was the weirdest of them. There were things in there I had “forgotten.” Quotes, because the memory must have been in there, somewhere, for me to remember I had seen it! Thank you!
My dad used to watch this show all the time. It’s theme song burned into my brain. He later on in life revealed to me that he went to Norte Del Rio High School in Sacramento with Lori Saunders (real name Linda Marie Hines). She had won the Miss Sacramento beauty pageant in 1960. I think he had a crush on her. LOL. My mom didn’t like him talking about her so he rarely ever mentioned it. 😂
As a young boy, I never could decide on a favorite Bradley sister. I loved them all. I remember thinking of Steve Elliot as an unnecessary distraction...
My favorite show growing up as a child. Had a train set called the Cannon Ball and built The Shady Rest Hotel and Druckers General Store out of Lincoln logs. Kate Bradley was the best TV mom of all time. I was so in love with Betty Jo. Remember she played shortstop for the Hooterville Hawks. ❤️
Edgar Buchanan's wife was also a dentist and she took over his practice when he started getting acting rolls....The daughters were the reason I watched this show when it first came out...all great actors on a fun show...I just watched an episode a couple nights ago...
I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Kaye Henning, and Meredith MacRae when I attended the Nick at Nite TV Land premiere party at Paramount Studios in April of 1996. My sister in law and I shared a limo back to our hotel with them. What lovely ladies they were! We shared parts of out “goody bag” lunchboxes with them. Edgar Buchanan also played the part of “Applejack” in one of my favorite old time movies-Penny Serenade with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. A real tear jerker, but good movie.
Thank you for the classic movie information. I facilitate activities in an assisted living facility. This will be on the list. The residents enjoy reruns of Petticoat Junction.
My two older sisters and I wanted to take a bath in the big water tank or whatever it was whenever we'd see the opening scenes just like those sisters did! Lol
@@cindychristian1700 The water tower is still there, just south of Jamestown California on the west side of the tracks. There's a "No Trespassing" sign on it though.
I am grateful that I was a boy in the 60s growing up and watching these shows , the 60s was a decade of classic tv shows that will never be matched, other great shows mr ed , my favourite Martian, the fugitive, dragnet, my three sons, I love Lucy, dr kildare, the list is endless
She missed about 15 appearances in her season 3 episodes due to a lengthy illness (I believe it was hepatitis). Her total episodes she appeared in is 22. Too bad because she's so pretty and talented. I enjoyed her a lot on Hee Haw though.
Ok I gotta admit this. I was born in 1967. And I remember Sam Druker as my favorite character in the Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies universe. I don't know why but I had the biggest crush on him and vowed I was going to marry him. My Grandma even made me a play wedding dress with a Vail and plastic bouquet. After a few years the crush ended. And the child wedding never came to be. Lol
The Shady Rest and the CannonBall Exp. always reminded me of the Miss Alva Starr train and the Starr boarding house the Natalie Wood movie "This Property Condemned".
What do you remember about the show? 🤔
I can still remember the words to all the shows, hillbillies, junction, green acres , and more.
Yes had a crush on Meredith Macrae.
As a child of the early sixties these shows will be forever embedded in my mind, but Petticoat Junction was my favorite. Thanks for the post!
Remember that show real do you like the character actor that played Uncle Joe moving kind of slow I like The Beverly Hillbillies 2 😀
@Lorraine Butcher Those were such gentler times.
Watched it every week as a child and remember it like it was yesterday. Simpler times, beloved characters, a kinder world. Longing for those sweet days...
Love love them all
I had planned to comment, then I saw yours. I could not have said it any better than you! This is exactly what I had planned to write.
I so agree....💝
I miss those days, too. So thankful that one of my local TV channels reran Petticoat Junction and also Little House on the Prairie weekday afternoons in the early 1980s, so I was able to watch both of those shows after elementary school.

Lori Saunders..... definitely 😁 my favorite.
She was hot
Loved Betty Jo! The romance between her and Steve was very special! Still can't get enough of The Beverly Hillbillies! The writing was top notch along with the cast members. A timeless classic!
The big-time critics panned the Hillbillies when it first aired. That pretty much guaranteed that it was a good show.
@@bemore1134you ain't lyin. 😂
Love, love, love Jeanine Riley! Thank you for including her!
What a great, comforting show from our childhoods! My favorite gal was Lori Saunders as Bobbi-Jo; I had a crush on her. I always looked forward to the start of the show when the three sisters were in the water tower. Bobbi-Jo, what a babe!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Petticoat Junction. One of my favorite shows as a kid.
Hello Karolyn, how are you doing?
I came home from school and watched all 3 of these shows. The girls were so beautiful.
Petticoat Junction was my FAVORITE!!! 😊
Hello Kitty, How are you doing?
Loved watching petticoat junction as a kid.Still watch the reruns.Back when times were simple an people treated each other better
I often think like you do. It seemed as if people had more manners. But then l remind myself that those were also the days of the of the JFK assassination, Vietnam War, Civil Rights Era, which led to 2 more assassinations--MLK & Robert Kennedy. It was quite a tumultuous decade.
Bobble Jo played by Lori Saunders was my fave. I love the carefree innocent humour of the show. Wish it was a real hotel.
My fav too :)
One of my favorite shows ever! I still watch it almost every night on dvd. I go to sleep thinking about simpler, better times. Though I loved all the characters on the show, Kate was my favorite.
Paul Henning was awesome at casting female talent! The women are what made all three of these shows so successful...
linda is his daughter
This was one of the best shows ever, but you forgot Charlie and Floyd on the cannonball .
Floyd was played by Rufe Davis. I saw him on one of the first 'The Lone Ranger" episodes, filmed in 1949! He played "Pete" in the "Pete and Pedro" episode. Pedro was played by Don Diamond, later famous as "Crazy Cat" on "F Troop." He lived to be 90 (June 2011).
Yes, I was there thinking that too! That's like forgetting the Monroe's from Green Acres, or Arnold Ziffel!!
Sure do remember that show!

What is veg?
Some people used to wrap aluminum foil on those rabbit ears for better reception.
I remember seeing every single episode of "Petticoat Junction" when I was much younger and boy did I enjoy watching it.
Now that I am an adult I can see it whenever I want to see it during this quarentine as much as possible.
Please have a nice day today. ©®

Seeing this right now brings back plenty of fond memories of when I was growing up. I had to run into the house in order to sit down and watch it.
Please help others when in need. ©®

My Favorite Was Billie Jo! Played By Meredith MacRae! She Was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!❤😍 And Talented!😀✌
Meredith’s father was Joel McRae-Oklahoma, Carousel. Gordon MacRae, my brain merged Joel Gray with Gordon 🤪 thanks for keeping me honest!
@@writeatease3689 Wasn't his name Gordon McRae?
I watched every week and enjoyed the show as well as Greenacres and Beverly hillbillies. I never thought about it as a youngster and then when I got older I laughed like crazy and how the writers were able to name the town Hooterville that’s hilarious!
It's was great for me a kid to set on all those sets green acres my grandfather was the production supervisor of all those shows his name was george king
Met Frank Cady at a 1975 Tim Conway golf outing that included Jack Lemmon and host of others in then rural Westlake Village. Nice man.
I was floored at the Nat King Cole info 😮
Me too...
I was also! I had no idea it was common knowledge.
liked how they tied all the shows together petticoat, green acres, Beverly hillbillies 👍
I like all the characters n The Beverly Hillbillies was a fav but Lori Saunders was my very favorite. I still think she's beautiful but as a kid, I think I had a bit of a crush. Nice to see the old shows on again❤
What I remember most often is their games: “Monotony,” “Scribble,” and “Cabbage”-it does not get any weirder than that! As a kid, even, I loved language jokes! And the Hooterville Cannonball, and the petticoats scenes in the opening.
Sam Drucker was my favorite, as he was the weirdest of them.
There were things in there I had “forgotten.” Quotes, because the memory must have been in there, somewhere, for me to remember I had seen it!
Thank you!
Bea Benaderet also played Jethro Bodins mother.
Jed's cousin Pearl Bodine.
Bea was also the original voice of Betty Rubble on the Flintstones.
She was also on radio with Mel Blanc & Stan Freberg...
She did lots of voices in Warner Bros. Cartoons.
Pearl.
My dad used to watch this show all the time. It’s theme song burned into my brain. He later on in life revealed to me that he went to Norte Del Rio High School in Sacramento with Lori Saunders (real name Linda Marie Hines). She had won the Miss Sacramento beauty pageant in 1960. I think he had a crush on her. LOL. My mom didn’t like him talking about her so he rarely ever mentioned it. 😂
As a young boy, I never could decide on a favorite Bradley sister. I loved them all.
I remember thinking of Steve Elliot as an unnecessary distraction...
My favorite show growing up as a child. Had a train set called the Cannon Ball and built The Shady Rest Hotel and Druckers General Store out of Lincoln logs. Kate Bradley was the best TV mom of all time. I was so in love with Betty Jo. Remember she played shortstop for the Hooterville Hawks. ❤️
Edgar Buchanan's wife was also a dentist and she took over his practice when he started getting acting rolls....The daughters were the reason I watched this show when it first came out...all great actors on a fun show...I just watched an episode a couple nights ago...
I just watched the reruns on cable today. The show is on every Sunday. I remember watching the show when I was a kid.
Loved Lori Sanders. She's a class act in real life.
I especially like her as Betsy on Dusty's Trail(1973-74)!!!
Hi, Greg how are you? Hope your enjoying the show?
@@michaelpowell5266 Me has well
I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Kaye Henning, and Meredith MacRae when I attended the Nick at Nite TV Land premiere party at Paramount Studios in April of 1996. My sister in law and I shared a limo back to our hotel with them. What lovely ladies they were! We shared parts of out “goody bag” lunchboxes with them.
Edgar Buchanan also played the part of “Applejack” in one of my favorite old time movies-Penny Serenade with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. A real tear jerker, but good movie.
Thank you for the classic movie information.
I facilitate activities in an assisted living facility. This will be on the list.
The residents enjoy reruns of Petticoat Junction.
When I was little I wanted to live at the Shady Rest.
My two older sisters and I wanted to take a bath in the big water tank or whatever it was whenever we'd see the opening scenes just like those sisters did! Lol
And there were better shows with only 3 channels than now with thousands!
Hi, Jackie how are you feeling today?
@@cindychristian1700 The water tower is still there, just south of Jamestown California on the west side of the tracks. There's a "No Trespassing" sign on it though.
@@rotunda57 Wow! If I ever go to California I might take a picture of it!
i was a child in the 60's and remember this show very well. (the 60 's were better times in this country. )
Meredith was my fav. Loved this show.
@belly tripper ??
I loved Kate. I think I was in love! The show was one of my favorite... all time favorite show!
I am grateful that I was a boy in the 60s growing up and watching these shows , the 60s was a decade of classic tv shows that will never be matched, other great shows mr ed , my favourite Martian, the fugitive, dragnet, my three sons, I love Lucy, dr kildare, the list is endless
My favorite Paul Henning show is Petticoat Junction. Great cast. Love Kate, uncle Joe, Bobbi Joe, and Sam are my favorite.
My sister and I were named after this show. I'm Bobby-Jo, she's Billy-Jo. Believe it or not, we are Aussies born in the 70s
Nice
That's so much fun!!!🙂
Good on ya, mate.
How wonderful!
How much fun is that!
Betty Jo was always my favorite Bradley girl. I loved Petticoat Junction.
Boy Gunilla Hutton was ahead of her time. Never heard that connection in my life !
She missed about 15 appearances in her season 3 episodes due to a lengthy illness (I believe it was hepatitis). Her total episodes she appeared in is 22. Too bad because she's so pretty and talented. I enjoyed her a lot on Hee Haw though.
Loved all three shows but Green Acres is one of my all time favorites! Superb!
Television shows that the entire family could watch together. Crazy right?
I was a little boy I love this show especially the three girls
Lori Saunders was my favorite!!
Ditto
Me too
Same here!
Love this show I WATCH it EVERY MORNING M-F 9-10AM, on XFINITY!
Ok I gotta admit this. I was born in 1967. And I remember Sam Druker as my favorite character in the Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies universe. I don't know why but I had the biggest crush on him and vowed I was going to marry him. My Grandma even made me a play wedding dress with a Vail and plastic bouquet. After a few years the crush ended. And the child wedding never came to be. Lol
Maybe your childhood crush was because you knew Sam owned the grocery store--a seemingly never-ending source of candy and pop!
@@danithompson1693
Lol I love that reasoning. Maybe I actually got that. I doubt it but who knows I was a big ol candy fan.
@@danithompson1693 😂😂😂😂
The Shady Rest and the CannonBall Exp. always reminded me of the Miss Alva Starr train and the Starr boarding house the Natalie Wood movie "This Property Condemned".
I watched them all in first run.
My favorite was Petticoat Junction.
I wanted to be Betty Jo.
