Petticoat Junction - Herbie Gets Drafted

About

Petticoat Junction is an American situation comedy produced by Wayfilms (a joint venture of Filmways Television and Pen-Ten Productions) that originally aired on CBS from September 1963 to April 1970. 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). The setting for the series is the Shady Rest Hotel run by a woman, her uncle, and three daughters, located outside the farming town of Hooterville (later the location of Green Acres). The hotel is situated on the train line of the C. & F.W. Railroad, about halfway between the towns of Pixley and Hooterville, each approximately 25 miles (40 km) away. The series pilot introduced the feminist element where the youngest daughter, Betty Jo, was skilled at driving the train. As a train engineer was traditionally a man's job, executives from the train company's corporate headquarters were shocked when they learned of this.
