Sick of the complications of life in Manhattan, successful, wealthy attorney, Oliver Wendell Douglas buys a run down farm from con-man, Eustace Haney, much to his sophisticated Hungarian wife, Lisa's chagrin.

When they arrive at the ramshackle place, Oliver and Lisa try to get used to the bizarre town of Hooterville while trying to make the shack home with the help of their humble but slightly slow hired hand, Eb. Ironically, Lisa is the one who makes friends with their cow, Eleanor, their chicken, Alice and Fred Ziffel's television-loving pet pig, Arnold who he treats like a son and seems to be smarter than the citizens in several ways.

Poor Eddie Albert hasn't made a farmer's wife out of Eva Gabor yet. But he keeps trying. And trying. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia Pat Buttram based his portrayal of Mr. Haney on Tom Parker -- aka "Col. Ford Motor company was a sponsor of the show, thus his car being a Lincoln , Haney's truck a Model "T",and the Fordson.

If you remember the show when Lisa bought Oliver a new tractor, the tractor dealer had all Fords, and I believe the tractor she picked was a Ford diesel. These were built from The other tractor used at the beginning of the show start was a John Deere "GP" tractor. The "GP" stood for General Purpose,and these were produced from The McCormick-Deering tractors were 1 in popularity back when these tractors were built, and John Deere was second in line.

The three companies engaged in price battles for sales dominance, in which McCormick-Deering came out on to with Deere second, and Ford finally dropped production of the Fordson "F" in retreat. I would guess that the "GP" was his liking, but because of Ford's sponsorship, the Fordson was a requirement. The above tractor information was all supplied by Jerry L.

Davis What was Lisa's maiden name? Thanks Julia! Admit it! One of the reasons you tune into the show is to see Higgins, the top dog at the Shady Rest Hotel. That's why I get so many of you asking questions about the dog, from it's name, to how it did those tricks.

First of all, let's tackle the name issue. On the show, the dog was called simply "Dog". Though in one episode Gunilla Hutton messed up and spoke his real name, Higgins, which was either never caught or let go.

In any event, that one blooper is probably the reason for the controversy. Dog did those tricks thanks to the masterful training of Frank Inn. The Dog must've done over two hundred of them, and done them all well!

It was the magnificent training, and the dog's exceptional intelligence that made him do those tricks. The most unique "character" in the Petticoat Junction cast is The Hooterville Cannonball, an abbreviated steam-driven train run more like a taxi service by its two engineers, Charley Pratt and Floyd Smoot.

It is not uncommon for the men of the Cannonball to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or pick fruit for Kate Bradley's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel. Occasionally, Betty Jo Bradley can be found with her hand on the Cannonball's throttle, as driving the train home from trips into town is one of her favorite pasttimes.

The Cannonball's usual speed belies its name which was perhaps inspired by Casey Jones' locomotive , though it still manages to give its passengers a thrill while rounding the local version of Dead Man's Curve. Ostensibly, the Cannonball operates as part of the C.

Exactly what the initials stand for is today a mystery. It was made sometime in the 40s, but I don't know when or what other movies it was in. Also, it only had one set of driving wheels the big wheels and they had to switch them around sometimes, depending on what side was toward the camera.

The Beverly Hillbillies Petticoat Junction Green Acres I have a question about the opening credits of green acres. The opening credits, including the farm house with the title on it, were shot in Thousand Oaks, California.

The title was painted by Max Thornton. What was the name of Eb's friend, the scarecrow? Actually, there have been a couple of names. Perhaps there was more than one scarecrow.

He said if you have any questions, you may contact him at: jpaloian yahoo. Perhaps on the desktop. You may want to right-click and rename them so that you can distinguish one show from another.

Of course, you will need a computer with a cd burner. What if you don't have a computer with a cd burner, or you simply prefer cassette? Theoretically, one should be able to record anything playing on the computer by connecting the computer's speaker output jack to a portable cassette recorder's input jack. In that case, you will not need to convert these files, you simply need to play them. Then, download a free program called "jetAudio 5 basic". This will play these.

It will also convert them to. Use the "open files" button on the toolbar to play it. You should hear the show playing.

If you click on the time and choose "remained time", it will come in handy later. It will count down rather than up. Stop playing the show. Click "recording" on the upper bar you will not need to click on "conversion" at all. A new window will open. On the source side, choose "mono mix". Set your record levels. For show 3 - level 8. For show 4 - level 3. You can experiment for yourself by "recording" or converting a few samples and watching the volume levels. Going in the red a little bit is OK.

In other words, a half-hour show will take a half-hour to "record" or convert. On the target side of the "recording" window, choose the folder where the "recorded" or converted files will go, and choose WAV under "encoder". I don't know what "File Naming" does.

Under "option", you may want to check "enable timer" and set the time for 30 minutes. That way, if your not around to stop the "recording" or converting , it will stop automatically. You don't want to let the "recording" or converting go on too long after it's done, because it will cause a gap of silence between your first and second track on your cd.

Set the timer, but try and stop it manually when the show is over. When you are finished with the show, find the file you just made, right-click on it and rename it.

If you don't, each new "recording" or conversion will overwrite the previous one. I named mine "", "", and so on. Mine have a "Winamp" icon. If you get an error during this process, you may need to install a free program called "Winamp". The reason I'm not sure, is because I already had 2 versions of "Winamp" installed before I started, version 2. Any version should work. A free one will do fine.

Now all you have to do is burn your cd's with the newly created. You can fit 2 shows per cd. Who created all of Lisa's great outfits? Jean Louis created her gowns, however her many peignoir sets were almost entirely from the Lucie Ann Claire Sandra collection.
