Petticoat Junction: Why do you think Uncle Joe...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

...was movin' kind of slow? I have some theories, but the show never did come right out and explain it.

Lots of curves, you bet, and even more when you get to the Junction...Petticoat Junction.

[Rowdyboy]

1. Gout....too much corn whiskey and too much of Kate's rich food!

[benburch]

2. Yeah, right. "Sisters"

You know, don't you, that this was an obvious bowdlerization of your typical American rural railroad brothel, right?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

4. Yeah, and Sam Drucker was the pimp...

..."General Store" my ass.



:evilgrin:

[mindfulNJ]

3. Where do you suppose they bought

all those false eyelashes and Aquanet in Hooterville...Drucker's Store?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. Funny you should mention that...see above...LOL n/t

[Sequoia]

14. Same place that the cast on Gilligan's Island

got all their extra stuff. Funny how the guests, except for the Professor had all kinds of clothes. Uncle Joe moved too slow because he had roomitisim. (no spell check here)

[Taverner]

6. Uncle Joe was an inside mockery of "Uncle" Joe Stalin

Absooutely untrue, all of it, but like I said I can't say anything straight today...Woo hoo onto my job in Tech Support! This is going to be fun!

[kmla]

7. I always suspected it was a case of 'not enough fiber'.

Uncle Joe coulda used a dose of Metamucil or sumthin'...

[SEAburb]

8. Uncle Joe was a hung-over juice hound

He always came up with some excuse to get out of work, so he could get back to his bottle.

9. B.V. Era

Before Viagra Era

[Arbustosux]

10. Those 3 "sisters" occupied many of my post-pubescent thoughts

I wanted to live in Hooterville! :)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. Yeah, how obvious did they need to be...

...HOOTERville?

Wasting away again, in Hooterville...looking for my lost shaker of salt...

[trof]

12. So then they started a restaurant chain?

[Snow]

13. I never suspected - I went through elementary/middle school with

Meredith, and she was just another, not-too-obnoxious girl-type kid, whose dad sang in some musical I was vaguely familiar with.
