I guess I'm the one of the few here that would be the right age to have seen all these shows when they were new, rather than catching them in reruns. I don't recall a direct connection to the Beverly Hillbillies, altho they were all cut from the same cloth, it seems...but I do recall that Petticoat Junc. started not long after BH, & when Green Acres premiered a year or two later, it was made clear that Oliver Douglas' (Eddie Albert) farm was just down the road from Hooterville, & many charactors crossed over from one show to the other on a regular basis...one that stands out in my mind was the owner of the general store, whose name escapes me but I can see his face clear as all get out...I even have a vague memory of the actor doing many commercials for years after both shows ended...
