Petticoat Junction
''Petticoat Junction'' is an American situation comedy that originally aired on CBS from September 1963 to April 1970.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Petticoat Junction" (1963) )〕 The series takes place at the Shady Rest Hotel, which is run by Kate Bradley, her Uncle Joe, and her three daughters Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo. The series is one of three interrelated shows about rural characters created by Paul Henning. ''Petticoat Junction'' was created upon the success of Henning's previous rural/urban-themed sitcom ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' (1962–1971). The success of ''Petticoat Junction'' led to a spin-off, ''Green Acres'' (1965–1971). ''Petticoat Junction'' was produced by Wayfilms (a joint venture of Filmways Television and Pen-Ten Productions).
==Premise==
The show follows the goings-on at the rural Shady Rest Hotel. Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet) is the proprietor. Her lazy-but-lovable Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) helps her in the day-to-day running of the hotel while she serves as a mediator in the various minor crises that befall her three beautiful daughters: redhead Betty Jo (Linda Kaye Henning); brunette Bobbie Jo (first Pat Woodell, later Lori Saunders); and blonde Billie Jo (first Jeannine Riley, then Gunilla Hutton, and finally Meredith MacRae). Uncle Joe frequently comes up with half-baked get-rich-quick schemes and ill-conceived hotel promotions. Much of the show also focuses on the ''Hooterville Cannonball'', an 1890s steam-driven train run more like a taxi service by engineer Charley Pratt (Smiley Burnette) and conductor Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis). It's not uncommon for the ''Cannonball'' to make an unscheduled stop in order for passengers to go fishing, or to pick fruit for Kate Bradley's apple butter. Many plots involve railroad executive Homer Bedloe's futile attempts to shut down and scrap the ''Hooterville Cannonball''. Occasionally, youngest daughter Betty Jo can be found with her hand on the ''Cannonball's'' throttle, as running the train is one of her favorite pastimes. The series pilot introduced a feminist element whereby Betty Jo turned out to be skilled at driving the train. Since train engineer was traditionally a man's job, executives from the C. & F.W. Railroad's headquarters are shocked when they learn of this.〔("Dead Man's Curve scene" (from series pilot) )〕 Trips on the ''Cannonball'' usually include a stop in Hooterville at Drucker's Store, run by Sam Drucker (Frank Cady). Drucker's is favored by Hooterville farmers because he is willing to extend credit, whereas the nearby Pixley stores want cash. Sam Drucker also has a telephone and acts as an answering service of sorts for the phoneless Shady Rest Hotel.
