Featured review
4th Petticoat Junction crossover episode in season 7
This December 4 show is a sequel to "The Thanksgiving Story" (November 27) with the Petticoat Junction cast. Still in Hooterville, the Clampetts say goodbye to Sam Drucker and are about to leave for Beverly Hills when they discover Eb Dawson (the none-too-bright Green Acres cast member) hiding in their trunk. Eb has a terrible crush on Elly May and wants to marry her.
Meanwhile, Mr. Drysdale is staying at their mansion taking care of Elly's animals, including a very demanding bear with human-like intelligence. Problems with the bear become a running gag and continue in the amusing "Christmas in Hooterville" (Dec. 25) and its sequel.
Drysdale fears Elly might eventually marry hayseed Eb and move herself (and the family fortune) away from Commerce Bank. So, he forces actor Dash Riprock to pretend to be a country boy and court Elly using his real name, Homer Noodleman. A funny bit ensues when Mrs. Hathaway is coerced into impersonating Noodleman's hillbilly father (with ratty clothes, beard, and hat).
Two episodes later, the crossovers continue with "The Week Before Christmas."
