Petticoat Junction
There were 222 episodes produced for CBS and was on television from September 1963 till September 1970.
Petticoat Junction was a spinoff from The Beverly Hillbillies. The story takes place in a small town of Hooterville. Kate Bradley was the widowed owner of the only bed and breakfast type of establishment in the entire town. She had three beautiful daughters, Billy Jo, Betty Jo, Bobby Jo, who helped her run the rural Shady Rest Hotel. Assisting also in the day to day operations of the hotel was lazy Uncle Joe, under guise of the hotel manager. Not only was Kate having to deal with her daughters romances but also the Vice President of C.F. & W. Railroad, Homer Bedlow. He wanted close down the steam driven branch of the railroad that served Hooterville and put the two engineers , Charlie Pratt and Floyd Smoot out of work.
In the fall of 1966, Pilot Steve Elliott crashed his plane outside of Hooterville and was nursed back to health by the Bradley girls. He got romantically involved with Betty Jo and married her and they had a daughter, Kathy Jo Elliott.
Soon after the start of production of the 1968-1969 season, Bea Benaderet, passed away. Without a central key figure, the show's demise was evident. It was canceled in 1970.
