Petticoat Junction is a show I've never really gotten into, I've tried watching but to me the episodes are mostly on the dull side. I've never really gotten into The Andy Griffith Show or Beverly Hillbillies either.

Green Acres is my favorite of the rural sitcoms because I think overall it's funnier than the other rural sitcoms. If I was voting for the funniest rural sitcom I'd vote for Green Acres.

Hi Retro Lee!

There was a PJ vs. GA poll thread here a while ago !! I think I was the one who started it even!

I love both PJ and GA ,I too really never was into Beverly Hillbillies!

I would think you would like Petticoat though cause of the pretty daughters!

Hello Bonnie

The daughters are pretty but not really my type, I tend to be attracted to cute looking women.

I recently bought the Lotsa Luck DVD set, watching some episodes and I like Beverly Sanders, in the show they usually made her up to look unappealing/unattractive but it didn't work, no matter how she's dressed she's cute in any scene she's in.

This is one show I wish they had always filmed in color from the start of season one! However, I like the first three seasons the best and two of those were in B&W!

For me Bea MADE the show, and when she passed, the show kinda did too.

Regarding whether I’d like the show better in B&W or color I’d have to say B&W. It feels much more authentic to me as a 60s show when it’s in B&W. But I know many feel just the opposite. So I’M GLAD both versions are available!
