I think he ^^^ watched a different show than I did.

In that case, wouldn't he have referred to 'Bonanza'?

And you're younger than me! What channel was it on, Neige?

I'm not sure but I think it was on TV Land (on the satellite).

Oh! I was picturing you watching it as a small girl. I haven't seen much of TV Land so I'm out of the loop.

Well, I was pretty young! We loved going to grand-mère's house because she let us watch TV all day

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...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

One of the girls in PJ had a boyfriend whose car had rail wheels, so he could drive to Hooterville without worrying about traffic (almost).

I have no idea about any water tower or a pig named Arnold, but I do know about the cement pond. And Scotzoidman, I think I read somewhere that Sam Drucker was the store owner in GA.
