It was nice seeing this again, it's been awhile. Combining Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction was a nice treat. Merry Christmas y'all. 🎄🦌🎅☃️
For anyone not familiar with the story CBS had the top rated shows for most of the 1960s. The Andy Griffith Show, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and Gomer Pyle were all in the top 10 when CBS decided to Cancel all of them. It turns out that the head of CBS, Mr. Wm. Paley had a socialite wife who was close friends with Truman Capote, and the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, Lee Radzwill and she was embarrassed by her husbands TV Shows so they cancelled them all. These wonderful, corny, shows that we watched with our families. I missed that America.
The published version was that, because North American values had shifted from an "unsophisticated" rural style of life, to a more "cosmopolitan" style, big money advertisers put pressure on television executives to cater to a more sophisticated urban/city audience. According to census data, by the 1960s, far more people than ever before, were living in cities rather than on farms. Much of this was due to the fact that in 1960, the U.S. Census Bureau adopted a population density threshold of at least 1,000 people per square mile for urbanized areas, and that meant that even small towns were now "cities". Advertisers wanted the general population to move away from old fashioned, mail-order catalog shopping (created originally for farmers to buy their tools & seeds), and get out to the sprawling, new concrete department stores and malls. Live like you're Marlo Thomas and Mary Tyler Moore! Actor Pat Buttram (Mr. Haney on Green Acres) referred to 1971 as "the year CBS killed everything with a tree in it"!
Yeah, we were entertained. Kids now a days could care less about this kinda thing. They’ve got technology we never dreamed of as a kid. I can appreciate this, because I’m middle aged. Kids really can’t, because they didn’t grow up w it. Too bad. I think Christmas use to be so charming and special. Now it’s all about the best tech your family can get their hands on.
I agree. However being a bit older now some of them are just to silly for me. Mainly The Munsters , Adams Family, and the Hillbillys. Guess Ive become a grumpy old man.
I love those hair styles in here! 😀 Everything about these shows is so wonderful, especially the family friendly aspect, and it is really great to see all three combined into one show! A wonderful treat indeed! 🙂
The rural purge at CBS got rid of all these popular shows we still watch today while nobody remembers the shows they were replaced with. This shows the “ wisdom” of corporate executives.
Yeah. Nobody remembers Mary Tyler Moore or All in the Family. They won a ton of Emmys between them, but Green Petticoat Hillbilly Junction Acres was MUCH better.🤣
This sure brings back memories. My brother and I used to watch the Beverly Hillbillies religiously...but there were only two channels to watch anyway. It was a great show. Now when I was about 6 or 7, I got to meet Ms. Jane. My older brother and I were 'riding the elevators' at a hotel we stayed at in Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada). She saw what we were doing and requested she take us to her floor...thanking us 'little bellhops' for getting her there. She was very nice.
Another episode that I never knew existed. Kind of a strange one, especially that song, I guess the writers were running out of material. Loved the Hooterville connection.
CBS was getting rid of shows like this in what was called "The Rural Purge" so getting all three shows in one was a very special treat because the public had never seen that before on a show. This was close to the end for all the good shows on CBS.
Great episode. Sam Drucker was on 3 shows if memory serves me. Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres. Hooterville the center of the universe!
Christmas in Hooterville Episode aired Dec 25, 1968 30m Irene Ryan in The Beverly Hillbillies (1962) The Clampetts return to Hooterville to celebrate Christmas. Mr. Drysdale, convinced that Mr. Clampett intends to move all of his money to Mr. Drucker's bank, drives to Hooterville to stop him.
Petticoat Junction was before my time, but l recently discovered it and LOVE Lori Saunders - she's lovely. Like me some Higgins, Bea Benaderet & Uncle Joe too!
didn't know irene ryan until the series learned she had a pretty long acting career prior to the series....she had to be in her 70's when the series started and by god just as wiry and energetic and funny as can be. calling Irene a'hoot' is an understatement for sure!!
I rather enjoyed this episode. Mike Minor had a lovely voice. But, Smiley Burnett and Bea Benaderet had both died by then. Donna Douglass was just great. Granny was delightful. Jethro was a riot. Thanks for posting.
It would have been strange if Bea Benaderet had been alive to be in this episode. She initially played Jethro's mom, cousin Pearl. Was a regular in Season One of Beverly HIllbillies.
I don't know if that was Mike Minor singing, but you could tell it was only a lip synch because when Billie Jo sat down at the piano, it started playing full orchestral music, with background vocals, and that wasn't possible at the time this was filmed.
Drysdale's bookkeeper puts on his glasses at 4:11, then puts on his glasses at 4:16. Thought I was FINALLY experiencing the promised Acid Flashback... Shucks.
@@MarcelLWalker Shows like this served to paper over the true reality of those times. Andy Griffith played a sheriff in a North Carolina completely devoid of African Americans, and Gomer Pyle PFC spent the Viet Nam war marching around a base in California.
@cindybin2001 It was nice for us white people when the country was mostly white. Others suffered unfairly. The way the country is "supposed to be" is liberty and justice for all, regardless of race, creed color or national origin. Other than the native inhabitants of this continent, we are all either immigrants ourselves, or the descendants of immigrants. I welcome anyone who values liberty, representative government and the rule of law, as do the immigrants that I work with at my job every day. I still cling to the hope that our nation will live up to the true meaning of it's creed, but those that share your view cause me to fear that we'll head down the same path as Nazi Germany and some of the fascist governments that are on the rise around the world today.
@@jacklow9611 Yes he was a singer before he was an actor. or so it says so on the net. "An early interest in professional baseball led to an avid interest in golf in later years. He had been a member of the Hollywood Hackers, an organization of show business amateurs who travel and play golf while entertaining at the same time. Mike was a singer and had recorded two albums on the sly.
@@jerrysullivan8424 Nepotism was taken to a whole new level with these shows. Paul Henning's daughter was on "Petticoat Junction," and Mike Minor was actually the son of Don Fedderson, who produced "My Three Sons." Meanwhile Curt Massey actually sang the "Petticoat" theme song, as he'd been a big band singer before doing the music for several TV shows.
Thanks so much! Have not seen for a LONG time! LOL, when I was a kid, I used to record the audio of fave shows on cassette, and heard it so many times, I remembered many of the lines!
I always wanted to live in Hooterville. The beautiful girls swimming naked in the drinking water. They even named the town after them. What could be better!
Betty Jo sure is a talented Piano Player. She got all of those instrument sounds out of one old fashioned Piano. 😆 Where are the backup singers? Hiding in the Kitchen? Lol I wonder why these Shows don’t record a version of the song that only has the instruments used in the Scene?
Michael Fedderson (December 7, 1940 - January 28, 2016), known as Mike Minor, was best known for his role as Steve Elliott on Petticoat Junction (1966-1970) Minor recorded two albums, including This Is Mike Minor (1966), and numerous singles, including the successful "Silver Dollar" and "One Day at a Time". Minor sang the theme song ("Primrose Lane") on season one of the Henry Fonda television series The Smith Family.[8]
It was cool that the 3 shows Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction were all connected. But after 6 years The Network CEOs canned the shows because they were down in the ratings and they grew tired of the 3 shows being old fashioned in theme while the other networks were having more updated themes. I liked Green Acres the best.
I had a walk-on part in this special that ended up on the cutting room floor. I came to Hooterville and took Billie-Jo and Bobby-Jo on a visit to Brown Town, they both loved it.
@@raymccarty4612 Naah, Ellie-Mae is too common for my tastes and apparently romantically attached to several of her larger critters. Me, Billie-Jo and Bobby-Jo have a special thing, they both love when I take them to visit Brown Town.
Petticoat junction was never the same without Kate.
It sure wasn't.
I feel the same way.

Thank you! And a Happy New Year too! 🎉
Jethro must have love/ ❤️ all the very pretty woman
Merry Christmas to all
Yes, very nice! Merry Christmas to you too my friend!
I had never seen or even heard of this episode until now. Very enjoyable and timeless.
Those were the great days of television.
It really really wasn't
@@chemistryguyThese shows made us happier than the sleazy shows of today.
Lori Saunders was an absolute doll as Bobbie Jo Bradley. I think she was better suited for the role than the original cast member.
Pat Woodell too was very good as Bobbie Joe.
I think she was the prettiest of a bunch of pretty actresses
I slightly prefer Lori to Pat.
It was common back in these days for current shows to have Christmas episodes. Usually a story about caring, giving, redemption, etc.
I had such a crush on Lori Saunders as a young teenager growing up in southern Indiana in the 60s!
Wow, that piano had a full jazz orchestra inside!
Yeah - it opened right up! My piano never sounded like that!
It’s a stunt piano..
@@ericb5194Yep, and included background vocals too!

I emailed Lori Saunders about 10 years ago just to say hi and ask a question. She wrote back the next day. She's 82! Geez time flies.
Cool!!
Awesome! :)
RIP everyone and thanks for the memories.
Max Baer (Jethro), Linda Kaye Henning (Betty Jo), Lori Saunders (Bobbie Jo) and Elna Danelle Hubbell (baby Kathy Jo) are still living.
Its so nice to see these shows again. oved watching them week to week when I was little. These shows made you forget everything and laugh at anything.
and thats why they called it entertainment.

This would have been a perfect opportunity to do a Dickens "Christmas Carol" send up with Mr. Drysdale as "Scrooge"!
There certainly were "hints' of a Christmas Carol early in the storyline, in my opinion.

Yup and I was 9 years old back then. It was definitely a funny show. Wonderful memories for sure.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, I stumbled into this one on the eve of Christmas Eve, 2023.
And it was a good laugh. Thanks.
HILLBILLIES. ARE. ONE OF M Y. FAVORITE. OF. ALL. TIME. LOVE. GRANDMA MERRY. CHRISTMAS
My God, Bobbie Jo was stunning! Had the biggest crush on her when I was a kid watching Petticoat Junction.
I met Lori on the set of a show we did together. She became a good friend. You'd be happy to know that she's as terrific a person as she is a looker.
@@yankee2666 You're a very lucky man,to have encountered and befriended the beautiful lori saunders!.

The Beverly Hillbillies Season 7, Episode 14: "Christmas in Hooterville" (December 25, 1968)
I was 3 years old when this episode first aired on TV!
2 years before I was born. Still better than most programs now
As corny as they were , I loved these shows growing up , light , and easy to watch.....it was a sad day when the networks did the"rural purge" thing.
Brilliant, its actuall one i had not seen as a kid so it was a great surprise for me. Put a big smile on the dial for me. Cheers from Australia 👍🍻🇦🇺🐨😊
I’m glad you’re free to roam your beautiful country without lockdowns or masks 🎭 🎉❤

Never saw this one. Thanks for posting.
Me either
This has been a FILMWAYS Christmas DAHLING!!!

OLIVAH!!😅😅
THat was a brilliant Chistmas special, I'm can't believe I never saw it before.
SILLY AS THEY WERE, I LOVED THEM IN MY YOUTH.
I loved whenever they combined all three shows, Beverly Hillbilies, Petticoat Junction and Green acres. Such a treat!❤
Such sweet shows.
Those two young women are truly beautiful.

Weee doggi!!!! Used to watch Beverly Hills Billies when I was young! ❤

Lori Sanders in the first few seasons was the most beautiful sister.
Betty Jo was my childhood crush. I think she was the only original one. Memories.
That's for sure. She was the best looking sister. Meredith McCrae was a close second.
The prettiest, but my favorite was her predesessor Pat Woodell
@@petercena9497 And Jeannine Riley was no plain Jane herself!.

He also drove his mother home from the hospital.

I grew loving the Bradley girls names , in 94 i called my second daughter Billie ann ! I will have to make her watch this , Australia
Bobbie Jo was my first crush. To this day a beautiful woman with dark hair and brown eyes makes my heart go boom boom.
For me too. There is a straight line from Lori Saunders to Jenna Coleman.
Pat Woodell was the first Bobbie Jo. She was a beauty as well!

They'll think it is the 60s.
Come on, say the 1960's punch line, "Put some clothes on him and people will think he is a hippie."
Two great shows joined together
I watched this when new. Steve sang so good, love this song. I think he only made one LP. He should have made 50. He was cute, too.
Agree. He could of been a successful Vegas act.
