Poll question: Green Acres vs. Petticoat Junction.

3. Petticoat Junction.
Betty Jo, Bobby Jo and Billy Jo.



And did you know that the mother was also the voice of Wilma Flintstone?

9. Wrong Flintstones character
Bea Benaderet was the original voice of Betty Rubble.

She was also Lucille Ball's first choice to play Ethel Mertz.

6. I often wondered about those Petticoat Junction girls
I mean, each one with a different color of hair, and an apparent fondness for skinnydipping in the water tank.

Mom the proprietress of the "Shady Rest". Where was Pop?

Never saw any guests at the hotel. Mighty strange way to pay the bills, isn't it?

"Lots of curves? You bet! And even more when you get to the junction..." Quite a popular stop for the railroad, wasn't it?

Hmmmmm....

7. Hmm was Ralph a trend setter?

Green Acres hands down for all the characters they had.

10. Green Acres, the most deliberately-stupid show on TV.
Goddess, but the writers must've been having competitions to see how far they could push the envelope each week.

"Hootersville." Damn near forty years ahead of the curve!

:smoke:
