Petticoat Junction

Petticoat Junction is an American situation comedy written by Paul Henning and produced by Filmways which originally aired on CBS from 1963 to 1970. The setting for the series was the Shady Rest Hotel just outside of the farming town of Hooterville. The petticoat of Petticoat Junction, is an old-fashioned garment once worn under a woman's skirt. The opening of the series featured a display of petticoats hanging on the side of a large railroad water tank where the three girls that are skinnydipping. The three girls were the daughters of Kate Bradley who was the owner of the Shady Rest Hotel at Petticoat Junction.

Pettycoat Junction was located halfway between two towns that were often mentioned in the series. The towns were Pixley and Hooterville. Hooterville seemed to be the town they would go to for services, like Hooterville Hospital and Hooterville High, and Pixley for other needs, such as supermarket shopping, beauty parlors, and movies.

For the first three seasons, Petticoat Junction focused mostly on broad humor and slapstick style comedy. There was a lot of physical comedy and other types of wild humor that was characteristic of the series, much like another Paul Henning show, The Beverly Hillbillies, and its own later spinoff show by Paul Henning, Green Acres. There were many crossover appearances in season 3 alone between the casts of both shows. The Douglases, Lisa and Oliver, city slickers, now farmers, make frequent appearances on Petticoat Junction, and likewise Kate, Joe, Charley and Floyd, and even Betty Jo and Bobbie Jo show up on Green Acres.

Much of the original focus of the show was on the Hooterville Cannonball, a steam-driven train which got it's water from the water tower where the girls at Petticoat Junstion were seen swimming in the opening credits. The train on Petticoat Junction was run more like a taxi service by its engineer, Charley Pratt, played by Smiley Burnette, and its conductor, Floyd Smoot played by Rufe Davis. It was not uncommon for the Cannonball to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or pick fruit for Kate Bradley's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel.

The show benefitted greatly in its first four seasons from the very strong lead-in of The Red Skelton Show, which immediately preceded it on Tuesday nights. In its first season it even exceeded Red Skelton's ratings, finishing at #4 overall for the season. The rest of its time on Tuesday nights, it remained in the Nielsen top 25.
