comedyfreak · 08-16-2014, 06:51 AM

Probably not.

Marvo301 · 08-16-2014, 03:45 PM

I was wondering the same thing the other day! My guess is that their not.

Hazel Anyday · 08-16-2014, 07:40 PM

If only that tub they're all in were made of plastic.

it wasn't a tub, it was a water tower.
And how would it being made of plastic made any difference?

At long last . . . I think I'm finally beginning to feel Sol's pain: this thread simply doesn't need to exist.

Do you mean like clear plastic, so you could see through it?

Naughty, Naughty!!!!

....I'm quite sure Paul Henning wanted to give the illusion that the Bradley sisters (and later, the dog) were swimming naked in the water tower....when, in fact, they weren't. The CBS "Standards and Practices" rep, I'm sure, saw to it they didn't.

treky · 08-21-2014, 05:29 PM

finally, someone knew I was kidding! OF COURSE they weren't naked

(in fact I think I read somewhere that that was actually a combination of 3 different shots)

Hazel Anyday · 08-21-2014, 06:33 PM

Why, of course. Looks like you were the only one to get it. I meant clear (as in see-through) plastic.

An acrylic water tower especially constructed for frisky girls to bathe in. Just what every town needs. I'd even volunteer to shine it as long as it was occupied.

biffbronson · 08-21-2014, 08:00 PM

At other times in the series, we do see inside -- like when the girls are teaching infant Kathy Jo how to swim -- and they are wearing swimsuits. I wanted also to mention that this water is for the Cannonball's steam -- and is NOT drinking water for Hooterville, as some internet people maliciously claim.

As long as we're talking about the opening scene, with the petticoats hanging on the rim, obviously there were multiple versions as the cast changed. Here's a rundown:

Seasons 1-2: Linda, Jeannine, and Pat (black & white)
Season 3 only: Linda, Lori, and Gunilla
Seasons 4-7: Linda, Lori, and Meredith

If you look closely at the final Seasons 4-7 opening, you will see that it's Gunilla walking down clothed after the girls take a dip -- not Meredith as it should be. The producers didn't bother to re-film that long shot (they simply reused the Season 3 segment).

Hazel Anyday · 08-21-2014, 08:23 PM

I noticed that too, that it's Gunilla frolicking down the hill with her sisters, not Meredith. Gun had bushier curlier hair.

Yep!! I thought so!!!!

OK , how about a female point of view here??? I'd like to see Steve and Orrin , Betty Jo's hubby and Bobbie Jo's boyfriend swimming naked!!!

But maybe not together! OMG In the 1960's in a small southern town, two guys who weren't brothers swimming together naked wouldn't go over too big!!

Steve was nice looking and Orrin wasn't bad,

OK I will calm down now!!!!

Hazel Anyday · 08-22-2014, 11:06 PM

You just ruined my water tower fantasy. So I'll get even, how about Uncle Joe and Floyd (the train conductor) splashing about in the buff. That oughta keep folks out of Hootersville.
