It was the marriage of TV royalty. Don Fedderson’s son marries Paul Henning’s daughter!

One of the better theme songs in TV, imo.

It was an era of good theme songs.

Yes there were a lot of Westerns with great theme songs too during that era.

“Rawhide” is my favorite country/western song.

He flew over Petticoat Junction in his airplane and Linda Henning got grease on her face while she helped him work on his plane. Now that was entertainment!

Rest in peace.

He was so good looking, I had a bit of a crush on him when I was a kid.

Wow, Pat Woodell, the original Bobbie Jo Bradley, passed away just a few months ago.

I remember this actor. On Petticoat Junction, his character was dating the middle sister and then the next season he was dating and married the youngest sister.

That was weird and they never really discussed it. It marred my childhood.

RIP

Pat Woodell was one of the prettiest woman ever to appear on tv or any other media. Why did she leave Petticoat Junction? Similarly, wasn’t Bea a big friend of Lucille Ball and the original choice to play Ethel Mertz?

One article stated that Pat left Petticoat Junction because she wanted to get back to singing.

I was just watching episode 2, where she did some singing. Well better than average voice. IMDB has listings after PJ but only about 1 maybe 2 in a year. Probably either a music career or plays doing musicals.

According to IMDB, Bea couldn't do Ethyl because she was doing the George Burns and Gracie Allen show.
