Mentions Jack Bannon as like dialogue coach. Bannon was reallife son of Bea Benederet (sp?) the series star--correct? He was the dialogue coach in at least the show's early eps? Or is that his father? Or just another Jack Bannon
(huge coincidence there)? Bannon appeared in many eps of PJ as different characters including one of those three party guys Betty Jo brings back from Europe with her. He kept saying "Smashing" in that ep.

Same Jack Bannon. If you buy the Petticoat Junction Ultimate Collection DVD (that has intros from Linda Henning), one of the episodes with him in it, she mentions him being the dialog coach on the early seasons.

IMDb shows he is now John Travolta's brother-in-law! Bannon is married to Ellen Travolta! How was he the dialogue coach early on? Thanks for the reply Fred!
