As a result, Bea Benaderet’s last episode of Petticoat Junction is hard to watch. She was seriously ill during the fifth season and missed a few episodes during this time. Her fellow cast members missed her after she passed away and fans had a hard time adapting to the show after she passed.
But how did Bea Benaderet get her start in her career? She was born in New York City and raised in San Francisco. While she wasn’t from a show business background, she had a knack for entertaining others during her childhood.
She sang and played piano during her childhood and then took up acting as a pre-teen. She loved acting in school plays, and she became so good at it that she landed a gig to perform in a radio play - while still in school!
She began her professional career during her teens, and she never looked back after that. Her early career focused on appearing in plays. She joined The Players Guild and toured the country acting in a variety of plays.
Her early career also included radio plays and voice acting performances. But as the medium of television was becoming more popular, she decided to give it a shot. She acted in popular TV shows such as I Love Lucy, The George Burns Show, General Electric Theater, and The Restless Gun.
But her biggest role was arguably as Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction. Fans couldn’t distinguish Kate from Bea and when Bea passed away, the show was never the same.

Facts Verse, I'm glad they did not hire another actress to play her character.. your right back then it was a rare thing to do...............on the show Bewitched when Marion Lorne passed away. Elizabeth Montgomery and her husband choice not to recast the part...because the cast and crew as well of Fans loved Marion Lorne as Aunt Clara and no one could take her place as Aunt Clara.
Yes!
Yes, but also could you cover Gale Gordon? He was a major face in radio and tv for a long time and acted alongside her for My Favorite Husband, the radio show most people credit for I Love Lucy on TV. This would make my day if you would make a Gale Gordon video please, I am autistic and that is one of my safe shows 🖤
@@patrickperalta59 Marion Lorne WAS replaced by Alice Ghostley in the role of 'Esmerelda' on the show. She was just as bumbling as Aunt Clara, so that whenever she screwed up a spell, she would go invisible.
@@kevinmiller6380 Yes I know that..but it was a brand new character, They did not recast the part of Aunt Clara....is what I pointed out, Elizabeth Montgomery and her husband knew the character of Aunt Clara was a favorite by fans as well as cast and crew and no one could take Marion Lorne's place as Aunt Clara.
Loved how the three shows were interconnected. Beverly Hillbillies , Pettioat junction and Green Acres.
A great era of TV 📺. As a teen of the 70s I believe Shows today are goat 🐐 tripe. 😆
They were like one big happy neighborhood!
She was on the "Burns and Allen show" see her 5 times a week.
Haney: "Mister Douglas.....
You are now the Midwest distributor for Lickwell's Liver Lotion"! I cry laughing everytime I hear it.
Watched it in the 60's and still again now. Much better than the crap they have on TV now. I don't even watch today's TV shows.
Same here!
Not EVEN "The Bachelorette"?!
o.O
@@MediaWatchDawg Hell NO!!! LMAO
I agree 150%
Me neither.
“Often imitated, never duplicated.”
Nothing will ever match the warmth and family fun 50’s and 60’s television gave us.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. Be safe and have a great weekend!
If I could live inside a show, this would be my choice! I love trains, Kate was a doll, Uncle Joe reminded me at times of a family member. And I the girls were angels on earth! GOD bless this show!
TV is a shithole now
@@ncfelineagreed. there will never be another show like Petticoat Junction
She was a brilliant voice actress. Her Betty Rubble giggle is iconic!
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
In reality she had a great figure like Betty Ruble. The older blousy clothes covered her up.
Loved the voice characters ❣️💯
And to this day, a good looking woman is sometimes referred to as "a Betty" (because most thought Betty Rubble was pretty hot), so Bea sort of still lives in infamy!
I thought she was the voice of Wilma.
Petticoat Junction was a wonderful tv show. Bea was a spectacular actress and great voice over actress. She's unforgettable.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Absolutely. I still watch on METV on Saturday mornings at 5am. Bea was an amazing lady.
We're happy to know that you're still watching the reruns! What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Yes. Good wholesome comedy. 4AM Central time.
Yes. Love her
Can also be seen weekday mornings on the Decades channel.
I love Petticoat Junction! Good wholesome show! Miss those kind of shows these days. Have to watch the reruns!! 😃
Today's 📺 offerings are crap. I loved shows like, Beverly Hillbillies, Dark Shadows and Batman growing up.
@@dougfredricks2017 you sound like a movie buff like myself! Do you remember the episode where cousin Pearl made a dress for elly mae ! And miss Jane was like " I've never seen anything like that! Lol!
That was a riot! Lol!
@@dougfredricks2017 omgosh! You remember Dark Shadows and Jonathan Frid!!! Seriously!!!
What a truly respectful tribute to an actress who still deserves recognition today. Please do more PETTICOAT JUNCTION videos.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. We won't promise you anything but we'll look into doing more PJ videos 😉
Hello Kate, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
SMOKING GETS ANOTHER ONE. POOR BEA, SHE WAS SO.TALENTED
IN ALL HER WORK, SHE PASSED AWAY.MUCH TOOOO SOON! RIP BEA BENADARET, YOU ARE MISSED !⁹
The only place 5 packs a day will get you is a grave!
First saw Bea as Blanche on Burns and Allen show and fell in love 🥰. Kate was another triumph! RIP dear Bea! 🙏. 🏆.
Bea tried out for the role of Granny on Beverly Hillbillies, but when she saw Irene Ryan's tryout, she allegedly told Paul Henning that Irene would make a better Granny, and settled for the role of Cousin Pearl. No professional jealousy at all with her.
Also the story goes ..Paul Henning said to her * But Bea ...those bigs tits of yours !!!
Settled for Pearl!? Pearl Bodine was one of the funniest characters ever! And Jetherine!
@@stevestites9762 Possibly. But she wasn't one of the 4 leads or even contracted to be in every episode. So it was definitely settling for a lesser role.
I actually knew about the voice of Betty Rubble and Granny an Tweety !
I've never done any professional work but I can talk like Mr Haney from Green Acres spot on ! I'm not lying!
❤️ her on beverly hillibillies
Such a wholesome tv show. She is still unforgettable and im 61. We need this kind of show today. Always introduce you kids to old sitcoms and old movies. There pretty great.
We're happy to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
She was such a wonderful actress with so many talents and a very classy lady. RIP Bea.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. May Bea find peace 💗
We lost her way too soon!
Classy?... I'm a big fan of the show.. but she had a reputation for having a real foul mouth.
@@williams3127 . Where did you hear this?
@@williams3127 I never heard that!!
She was just always a great actress I still love watching her I never get tired. Those actors and actresses are hard to come by.

"Petticoat Junction" is hilarious--like all of Hennings's shows--so absurd and crazy. Bea Benadaret is immortal.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see?

I loved her in Beverly hillbillies also,she played the exact opposite kind of lady🤣
@@kathyyore309 The original voice of Betty Rubble.
@@kevinmiller6380 that's so cool
She was a marvelous actress and made the role of Kate so endearing. I was a really young child when she passed away and it broke my heart, like losing a family member.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Bea played "way over the top" as Pearl Bodine in The Beverly Hillbillies, but was very relatable as Kate Bradley.
This a magical time in American television history. Never to be replicated. Bea was an icon during her time in show business
At 65, I grew up watching and enjoying this actress. Bea was great!
We're happy to know that you love Bea! What is your favorite role of her?
My favorite Bea character is Cousin Pearl. I always. Thought it was curious how Petticoat Junction handled Bea's passing. They more or less stopped mentioning her like she never existed. They could have had Kate pass away suddenly, off screen between seasons like Jean Hagan in Make Room for Daddy. They should have dedicated an entire season opening to Kate and Bea.
Thank you for sharing your favorite character of Bea and for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day ♥
it was nice to see her return for 1 BH color episode a few years later, but the studio audience had no reaction to her return. After her passing when Granny guest starred in PJ it was stated that Kate Bradley was related to Pearl Bodine which was a nice but too-late tribute bit of continuity
A lot of these old shows did that kind of thing if someone passed away, even if it was a pet on the show that passed.
They just disappeared, and were never mentioned again, even though viewers always noticed the absence.
I guess they didn't want to mention death, even though it's a part of life, and people (even children) were less afraid of hearing about dying back then than they are now, because they understood it happens to every living creature at some point.
I just find it very disrespectful.
Although it was never mentioned directly that Kate died, Joe did once say the Shady Rest Hotel had a "Kate Bradley Memorial Suite" in a later episode.
They knew the audience knew Bea Benaderet had died. Apparently, it was their way of saying her character had died without actually saying it.
DID THE SAME WITH JOE KEARNS
Loved her as Cousin Pearl. They forgot to mention she was a great yodeller and actually gave yodelling lessons!
Thank you for sharing your favorite role of Bea! Be safe and have a great day ❤
Also, Pearl was Jethro's mother on the show.
@@hydrolito Maybe that's why he kept calling her "Ma." And don't forget, Jethro is Jethrine's sister.
I remember thinking that the banker guy should go ahead and marry her.
@@desmondmurphy449 he was already married!!
She truly reminded me of my own Aunt Bea. Joyful, sweet, caring, and kind. I remember when I heard the news broadcast when she died in 1968. I was 8 years old then and, it really made me sad. RIP lovely lady.
wonderful character on a great show.
Kate was just the best character ever man! hard working, always nice, smarter than most around her! Always fair and respectful to anyone and everyone! you literally never see a character like that anymore!
i agree!
Sad but true
I loved watching Petticiat Junction, Green Acres, and The Beverly Hillbillies. There were so many more good family shows back then. Thanks for this video. Brought back good memories.
IMO the three best
Hello Colleen, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Absolutely ❤️ the Best In Television History
Without a doubt
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
Hello Jan, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I watch it every day on antenna tv. Never get tired of it and I watch her on George Burns/Gracie Allen show also. You never get tired of a great. Thanks for the memories Bea.
Hello Kathryn, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Bea did play a very convincing spinster on one episode of I Love Lucy. She was a great actress and a welcome addition to the sitcoms. One final episode showed the "back" of another actress who was portraying Kate. So glad the show was very respectful to Kate. She is definitely missed. Nothing like watching the old shows (yes I am of the senior citizen era)!!!!!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What is your favorite role of Bea?
Was it the old lady who had the hots for the grocery delivery man? She reminded me of granny on Sylvester and Tweety Bird. I thought that was a real old lady. When Lucy tried to teach her how walk seductively she looked like she was drunk.
Gertrude, the telephone operator, on the Jack Benny Radio show😁😁
Bea was friends with Lucille Ball, who wanted her to play Ethel Mertz. But Bea was already committed to playing Gracie’s friend Blanche on the Burns and Allen show. It ended up working out with the incomparable Vivian Vance playing Ethel. I think Bea was probably too sweet to pull off what became Viv’s signature snarky comebacks like “if I had known this is what friends are for, I would have signed up as an enemy.”
@@ldchappell1 yes she had the hots for Mr. Ritter. Her name was Miss Lewis.
Bea was heard on the radio version of the Jack Benny Program. I recall one character she played was a telephone operator who had dated Jack. Her voice was always a standout and her timing excellent. On TV her facial expressions told the whole story.
Also, Fibber Magee.
she was such a huge talent
Didn't Bea play Gertrude Gearshift on The Jack Benny Program? She was also in a radio show called Granby's Green Acres (opposite Gale Gordon). This show was adapted for TV as Green Acres in 1965. She was a terrific actress, and her last episode of Petticoat Junction (The Valley Has a Baby) is very hard to watch.
@@docadams7099 Yes, that was the operator's name. She worked with Mabel Flapsaddle. Bea was on many shows.
She was a wonderful and unique actress and had that look that could fit most roles. Also had a great name. Yes Petticoat Junction was a fun show and the theme song was catchy. Today very few theme songs are created. Good video.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your sentiments! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
One great title song was "Sure Beats Workin' for a LIvin'" from "The Duck Factory."
Cousin Pearl Bodine was my favorite of Bea's characters! I remember most of all her fixation on Mr. Brewster, of Jed's oil company, and after Granny had commented that people could always tell when Pearl was hot on a man because she'd put more feathers in her hat, the next picture of Bea was wearing a hat that seemed to have as many feathers as a turkey!
I remember that!! That's hilarious!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@forgottenfilmchannel1194 I bet we talk about old TV trivia for hours ! I got my share ! I'm hard to beat! Lol!
My buddies say I'm a walking Siskel and Ebert .
Bea appeared as a regular on the Beverly Hillbillies and was even included in the closing sequence where the cast stood outside the mansion and waved at the audience in the later part of season one.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this info. What other types of videos would you like to see?
There was an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies where Granny takes a frying pan and raps Cousin Pearl with it off camera, but you can hear the 'clang' sound effect when she gets hit with it. The episode I liked best was The Giant Jackrabbit where Granny tries fighting a kangaroo (jackrabbit) that nobody sees but her. 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I never saw her at the end. And I watched every episode.
@@carolnygaard136 it was towards the end of season one that she was included at the end credits waving goodbye. I have season one on disc and it includes commercials from Winston cigarettes and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
Thanks captain obvious
She was excellent on the Burns and Allen Show. So was Larry Keating, the last actor to play her onscreen husband. Both died of cancer a few years later. Both are missed.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see?
Yes, Larry Keating was great! Wasn’t Fred Clark his replacement? I wonder why Larry left. Bea was always good - playing Betty Rubble or anyone else. I think Blanche Morton was my favorite Bea character. She kind of laughed like Betty Rubble, didn’t she?
Larry Keating also played Wilbur Post’s neighbor on Mr. Ed and ironically died during that series. His character was replaced by Leon Ames in the form of a new neighbor who also happened to be Wilber’s colonel in the army.
@@Daisnap Vice versa--Larry replaced Fred, who left to be in a play in New York, George said on screen in Larry's initial episode.
@@sunnyangiebeenestork1899 Oh my gosh, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. If memory serves, I prefer Larry in the role...wait - did they play the same person? I also loved Doris Packer when she appeared on B&A. Her reactions to Gracie were priceless!
The series lost their heartbeat when Bea died. I don’t think it ever got it’s groove back 😞
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Bea will be missed 😥
Kind of what happened to the Three Stooges after Curly was forced to quit due to illness. It was never the same.
@@dougobrien4877 June Lockhart fell to the Shemp Howard syndrome.(Chuckle!)

Loved Petticoat Junction see it every day sad to know most of the actors are gone. But we have dvd to see any time .
It's sad that a lot of them have passed, but they left us the legacy of great performances on great shows!!
Hello Patty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Her last scene was the most painful, and actually tear-jerking. She was too ill to complete that episode and had to have a stand-in for the scene. You would see the back of the stand-in (dressed up like Kate Bradley) with her last line being audio-recorded and played to have it appear as if she was actually in the scene. After that episode, they had to redo the opening credits - the next two episodes had still shots of the Shady Rest Hotel placed in the parts where Bea's credit would have been.....and they reworked the theme to speak only of Uncle Joe by himself.
A few episodes later, they reworked the credits to add June Lockhart "and here's a lady MD, she's as pretty as can be at the junction.......Petticoat Junction!"
Lockhart is another exceptional lady. She never filled Benaderets shoes completely but she was an excellent and very gracious addition to the show. My family still watched faithfully until the series ended.
An interesting symmetry to Bea's career--she began her career doing voice. Then, Bea enjoyed an extraordinary prosperous career as a character actress, but never acted like "the star". She also ended her career doing voice-over as well.
@@ib4ufl Yes...that thought also came to my mind.
I first read Bea Benadaret's name in the voice-credits of The Flintstones. When I saw her on TV in a Beverly Hillbillies episode I thought,"THAT'S Betty Rubble?"
She was the heart and soul of the show.A wonderful and great lady.
She was great on the BURNS AND ALLEN SHOW.

Always loved Bea, saw Petticoat Junction this morning made in 1969, still good but without Bea and knowing it was made the year after she passed made it very sad, thank you Bea for all the great entertainment you gave me and all of us
As a child I remember Petticoat Junction and Bea from both Petticoat Junction and Beverly Hillbillies. Those two shows and Green Acres were some of my favorites and if I have an opportunity to catch them I do.

I didn't realise Bea had passed away from lung cancer. How sad. Petticoat Junction was really fun to watch with its zany characters. She was always my favourite.
- Sadly lovely Meredith MacRae also died at age 56 of brain cancer 🌹💕
Even though Bea didn't physically appear in The Valley has a Baby, her voice was used. It was taped like a month before she died. Always loved this show!
Hello Sue, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Yes, every show that I saw her in was a wonderful experience. She will always be loved, by me
We're happy to know that you love Bea. She will be missed 🙏
I loved her voice as Betty Rubble!
When I was first reading TV Guide at age 8, I saw Bea Benaderet's name in the Flintstones cast credits. I was starting to see more live-action shows and learned their casts too-so when I first saw Cousin Pearl on The Beverly Hillbillies I thought'"THAT's Betty Rubble?"
Bea Bernadette was and always will be a national treasure. I didn’t watch her last PJ episode until 20 years later, as it was just too painful. Rest in peace dear lady ❤️
Hello Roni, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
As I watched the first time as a kid, the best shows were just taken for granted. I had no idea of the talents necessary to produce these gems. Bea was a big part of that from Blanche, to Betty Rubble, to Kate.
I loved her laughter !

I really enjoyed her, especially as cousin Pearl

I remember when she died, I felt like a friend or relative died. Her warmth was expressed well with her voice and “motherly” character Kate Bradley came through naturally. I stopped watching after, the show wasn’t the same and just reminded me what a emotional void was created with her gone.
We watch all of the old shows and Petticoat Junction is one of our favorite!
Hello Sally, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus
I watched petticoat junction when I was little and alway wondered what ever happened to kate I had no idea she had died until years later as an adult I looked at her wikipedia page and saw that she died very sad a very fine actress
I did put my coment in. Just wanted to add.... After Bea's passing I could Not watch the show any longer. When in the Hotel it was so lonely not to see her in the Hotel any longer. You think she would come through the door from the kitchen to Dining Room or down the stairs..... She was by far a professional Actor. And a Big time Mom abilitie!!!
Hello Jim, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Bea was a gifted actress who brought enjoyment to many and continues to do the same today. We are so fortunate to still see her talents on METV which I watch all the time.
I wasn't aware that "Green Acres" was a spin off of "Pettycoat Junction". I saw Green Acres first as a young kid and years later saw PCJ.
Bea was wonderful. It's so true. PJ was never the same again.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Loved Bea! She was great in everything she did. Often wondered what I Love Lucy would have been like with her instead of Vivian Vance. Although I loved her on Burns & Allen too. She was great with Gracie. She definitely passed away too soon. 😢

Hello Janie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
"Stick Nix Hick Pix!" To quote I Love Lucy. When Fred Silverman headed the network, he realized that era was ending, and soon after came All In The Family!
Or, to quote Pat Buttram (Mr. Haney), "They cancelled ever' show with a TREE in it!"
Yes I have loved Petticoat Junction all my life. But on reruns because it premiered the year I was born. 1963. And all the other wonderful actors that left us too soon, Mike, Meredith, the first Bobbie Jo. I loved all the actors throughout the series. Meredith was my favorite. Lori is another and those twin baby girls that played Kathy Jo, both the infants and the toddlers were so precious and adorable.

I still watch petticoat junction, every morning on the Decades channel
You're a true fan! Which episode are you currently on?
Luv. Decades Tv,!! The weekend binges...🙂👍. Rocking !!
I remember one of her last episodes and she hardly spoke in it, even though she appeared in it. It was strange since her character was pretty talkative.
I have always loved this show and I cried when Bea died. I am especially emotional watching Kates Homecoming, in the end of Season 5. Knowing that the cast truly loved her. She was the HEART of Petticoat Junction.
You're a true fan. Thank you for your beautiful message for her. Bea is surely smiling right now 😢
I watch the show today . I watched it in the 60’s . It holds up Great ! Good Home Values . ❤
So good, glad you're still watching PJ! Which episode appealed to you the most?
Wonderful lady, Wonderful actress, I especially loved her in voicing female characters in Bugs Bunny cartoons and as Betty Rubble! She also guest starred on I Love Lucy as Mrs. Lewis, an elderly lady looking for romance with the help of Lucy! 💖💝
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Ms. Benaderet actually did an episode on I Love Lucy. She did a character that was sort of an older Pearl Bodine. She was a neighbor of the Ricardo's who had a crush on the grocery store owner who delivered groceries himself. Edward Everett Horton, who did a couple of movies in the 40s with Lucille Ball. This ep was also reminiscent of an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies where granny made a love potion for Pearl but it backfired and "Dr. Twombly" (Pearls love interest) chased granny instead. Her character on I Love Lucy tried to entice Edward Everett Hortons character but it backfired on Lucy as she tried to set up a romantic dinner for Benaderet and Horton and he chased Lucy instead. It was hilarious! I wonder if Henning got the BH ep idea from ILL?
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this information and our thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see?
She was Lucile Ball’s first choice to play Ethel Mertz but was under contract for the George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. While she would have been a great Ethel, I’m grateful that Vivian Vance was given the opportunity to achieve some well-earned fame of her own.
I grew up watching reruns of Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction in the 70s and 80s and have always loved Bea Benaderet. I was born just a couple weeks after she died. She was a very talented lady, and reminds me of another talented lady of that era, Jeanette Nolan. Both ladies were very versatile actresses, and the shows they were on are some of my favorites.
We're happy to know that you watched BV and PJ! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
I was born in 1960. Petticoat Junction was one of my favorite shows growing up. I still look up episodes and watch them today.
We're glad to know that you love Petticoat Junctgion. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I loved Bea Benaderet on that show.
Us too! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see?
As a fan of the show, I felt it was never the same after Bea Benaderet died. I wish they had done some kind of tribute to her. It seems they quickly moved on by immediately changing the opening credits and with only a passing reference to her once when the daughters were teaching little Kathy Jo how to swim in the water tank. Ms. Benaderet deserved a fitting goodbye.
Actually, they did do a couple of tributes to Bea before she died. The last episode of season 5 is a very emotional show called "Kate's Homecoming". Her last episode, "The Valley Has a Baby" is very emotional as well.
Petticoat was my favorite show. I have the dvd set of the show.

Hello Teresa, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I watch petticoat junction every Saturday on MeTv. Her final episode is coming up soon. Already in the middle of the episodes she missed. For me it holds up well.
We're happy to know that you're watching Petticoat Junction. Which episode is your favorite?
@@FactsVerse my favorite episode is when Betty jo tells her mother that she is in love with Steve. My other favorite episode is when the enchanted cottage.her mother was so funny,so as not to break her daughters heart about the condition of the cottage.

Happy Friday Facts Verse :)
Happy Friday to you too Ismail. Be safe and have a great weekend ♥
I've recently been watching Petticoat Junction and am amazed at the acting talents on this quaint show. Quality that I want to introduce my grandkids to
Petticoat Juncture is one of my favorite shows of the 1960s I love all the the old shows
We're happy to know that you love Petticoat Junction! Which episode appealed to you the most?
Hello Sharon, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Bea Benaderet was perfect for the role of Kate Bradley. Absolutely no one could have done better. The letter "i" in the name Bodine is a short "i-" not a long "i."
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
@@FactsVerse You're welcome.

We strongly concur. Bea will be missed 😢
Hello Brenda, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I loved Bea.
She was hysterically funny on the Burns & Allen show. My mother and I
used to stay up late at night to watch re-runs of the Odd Couple... the Honeymooners...and then Burns and Allen
back in the late 70s.
Great t.v., no cursing...no degradation just classic zingers and one liners.
I really miss those days and my mom.
Hello Dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
We've been watching it for the past 2 nights. I recall watching it when I was really little. The writing is very clever!
Good summation, but at least one error. Bea's character Blanche on Burns & Allen was not a secretary. She was a housewife, neighbor of the George and Gracie, and Gracie's best friend!
she played George's secretary when he did his solo sitcom after Gracie retired in 1958
"The Valley has a baby" is really sad because she doesn't appear but rather lends her voice she recorded from her hospital bed. A stunt double was photogged from behind and her lines were synched up.
Hello Stephanie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
She had a lovely expressive face What a wonderful actress Rip Bea , Gone but not forgotten. ❤💜🙏
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Bea. We love her. May she find peace 😢
I loved watching this show when I was a kid. Bea was a great actress and a class act.
We definitely agree and are glad to know that you love PJ! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
I wondered why she disappeared from the show. Sorry to hear it was due to her health. Many stars of show left in this way. Both Glady's Kravitz in Bewitched come to mind.
Thank you for sharing your message. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
The First Mr. Wilson of Dennis the Mence, Too.
The first Gladys kravitz died during the show. The second did not
I always loved Petty Coat Juntion. It was a good show.
Us too! What is your favorite Petticoat Junction episode?
I loved Bea. I remember her in the Burns & Allen show which was mandatory in our household. At that point in time; I was on shift work, and got home by 1430 hours each day to watch Burns & Allen, and when on late shift, I did not leave home until 1600 hours which meant that I could still watch B & A before I went to work. Bea was so talented however; I was surprised to learn via Facts Verse today that she was the voice of Granny in Sylvester and Tweety; another favourite of mine and yes; I used to watch Petticoat Junction on a regular basis, and loved her role as Kate. R.I.P. Bea.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Bea! May she find peace 🙏
@@FactsVerse God Bless her dear soul, and may HIS Perpetual Light shine on her. 🙏🏼 🇬🇧🇦🇺
She and Petticoat Junction were always family favorites while we were growing up.
We're happy to know that you and your family enjoy Bea and Petticoat Junction! Which cast member is your favorite?
@@FactsVerse Uncle Joe's wisecracks and generally brash demeanor were always good for a laugh, even to us little kids. I recall Bea playing the upright piano in the hotel's lobby in a few episodes and she really had a skill with that. Nowadays, I wonder if those little, short riffs that were interspersed throughout the show were not also done by her off-scene, in the studio as it had the same sound as her on-scene playing.
....The Television Shows of the 50's, 60's and 70's were some of The Best. Petticoat Junction among them.
Top Notch cast, great story lines, and an adorable dog . ... it seems as that role of Kate Bradley was created just for her. ... you could tell. Genuine, kind, smart , funny .... and classy on top of it all.
It's a shame such great shows like this aren't the way it is today. I refuse to watch most of the Rubbish that is on Television today....
I much prefer watching shows like this and Andy Griffith , Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, The Honeymooners, and many more .... all the lovely shows that are of decades gone by, that are so much better than the rubbish that is on Television today. Maybe imitated,( somewhat) but not ever duplicated .
