"All aboard the Cannonball, everyone!" We're heading for a very small village by the name of Hooterville just out of Pixley. Who remembers 'Petticoat Junction'? There was Uncle Joe, Kate, Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo. There was Sam Drucker the grocer and postmaster and even at times a justice of the peace if I remember right. Uncle Joe and Kate and three girls lived at the Shadyrest Hotel. There were many adventures thanks to Uncle Joe to keep the Shadyrest open for there always seemed to be the need for cash money for there seemed to be never enough. 'Petticoat Junction' was a show that started out in black and white and was then in color for those were the ones I remember watching when I was younger. Through the years things changed, for example when I watched some of the older black and white episodes there were two different actresses who played Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo that were replaced with Meredith Macrae (not sure of the spelling) and Lori Saunders and the one that played Betty Jo was now Linda Kaye Henning. I remember that the woman who played Kate died and believe it or not June Lockhardt played a psychologist and doctor at the Shadyrest.
