Petticoat Junction

Riding on the coattails of "The Beverly Hillbillies," this sitcom set in backwater Hooterville centers on widowed innkeeper Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet), who has her hands full managing her wastrel uncle and dispensing motherly advice to her three buxom daughters. As the only hotel in town, the Shady Rest is the natural gathering place for visitors who come in by train as well as quirky local residents who drop by to shoot the breeze.
