You've probably heard Tom Lester, the last major cast member of "Green Acres", has passed away. So why not discuss which of the three shows based around Hooterville, all produced by Paul Henning, was the best?

So did Hooterville stem from one of the studio execs familiarity with Porterville California? I was there years ago, and remember driving through a town called "Pixley" to get there.

Probably not, as this article that way more information on Hooterville than you'll ever need doesn't include California. The wiki on Paul Henning claims it was based on his trips to the Ozarks.

I enjoy Green Acres but not so much the other two shows BH and PJ, I just haven't been able to get into those.
