Featured review
Last Petticoat Junction crossover for the season
This 8th and final crossover for season 7 begins in Petticoat Junction. Sam Drucker asks Betty Jo (Lori Saunders) to look after the General Store while he's in Los Angeles. He won a trip to Hollywood and plans on visiting the Clampetts as well. A garbled telegram message gives Granny the false impression Sam is coming "a courting" and she over-reacts as usual. The misunderstanding between her and Sam has been an ongoing joke in most of the crossovers during the season.
Fearing Granny will run off with Sam -- leaving him at the mercy of Elly's terrible cooking, Jethro tries to sabotage this supposed romance. He gets movie star Dash Riprock to pretend to be one of Granny's many suitors so Sam will lose interest. The only funny bit in the episode is when Dash shows up dressed as The Lone Ranger (Granny's hero) and she rides off with him on his horse down the suburban streets.
This is the only time in the entire series where a cast member from Petticoat Junction (or Green Acres, for that matter) visits the Clampetts in Beverly Hills. The family will visit the Junction once more in a season 9 two-part episode.
