I grew up watching Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Andy Griffith and Beverly Hillbillies. There will never be another time on TV like that again!

[@StanleyFoss]

Yes, they don’t make sitcoms anywhere near like those classics anymore :/ Glad you found my video!

[@GenX-Grampa]

@@StanleyFoss I’ve downloaded Pluto and it has all episodes of all those sitcoms for free! Even Dennis the Menace, Car 54 Where are You and the Adams family. I Love Lucy is coming this week too! There are also 70s and 80s sitcoms like Family Ties, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley and Threes Company. There are even more than that but just check it out for yourself since you also love the old sitcoms.

@@StanleyFoss do it and come back on here and let me know what you think. Tubi is another one my daughter showed me. It’s got some good ones too. It had one of my favorites, “The Rockford Files” but they recently removed it. But Sanford and Son, The Jefferson’s and Maude are some they have. I think All in the Family is or at least was on there too.

[@CoopyKat]

@Grampa-Grump Nope those kind of shows will never exist again, especially Petticoat Junction. I used to watch them in reruns as a kid, Green Acres was my favorite!

A hundred miles to the east of "Green Acres" is the little town of Pixley, CA. "Pixley" was mentioned often in Petticoat Junction and Green Acres for both of their runs. The Hooverville Cannonball train ran between Hooverville and Pixley in both of the series. The Hooverville Cannonball was about two hundred miles north in Jamestown, CA. in a railroad museum. It was also Secret Service agent James West's train in the series, "The Wild, Wild West", which was being produced at the same time as these series.

[@StanleyFoss]

I really want to check out Pixley and see what it is like, and also the Hooterville Cannonball. I believe it’s the same engine they used in Back to the Future part 3?

[@socoman99]

@@StanleyFoss Yes, part of Back to the Future 3 was filmed in Jamestown, using the train. Good 'ole autocorrect. I just noticed that it turned "Hooterville" into "Hooverville" when I wrote it above, lol! "Hooverville" is what they called shanty towns in the Great Depression of the 1930's.

Petticoat Junction and Green Acres are very Awesome shows! They still hold up today.

[@katazack]

I call them epic works of intelligent stupidity.

[@DMfilmfan]

How fantastic that you found that house AND with that tree still intact! CBS became infamous for their "Rural Purge", cancelling the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Mayberry RFD. Pat Buttram (aka Mister Haney) has been quoted as bitterly saying "CBS cancelled every show that had a tree in it".

[@StanleyFoss]

Ahh yes, such a bummer they cancelled all those shows around the same time. I think they were still doing well in the ratings also?

[@richardtrudeau7363]

Got rid of Corn Comedy.

[@nothingheremovealong6751]

CBS also cancelled Hee Haw during that purge...

[@katazack]

At that point, all of the rural series had gotten stale. Mayberry RFD was a shadow of the original series, and the Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres had lost their creative spark. The move paid off for CBS as many of the the replacements, led by "All in the Family", "M*A*S*H", and "Mary Tyler Moore" became huge hits attracting younger audiences.

The Thanksgiving episode was an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, and it was probably the biggest crossover episode for the 3 shows. Few characters were in all 3 shows. Oliver, Lisa, Jed, Granny, Eb Dawson, and Sam Drucker were among those. The guy who played Hank Kimball (Alvy Moore) was in an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, but as "Alvin" a studio exec at Mammoth Pictures.

[@jwr7138]

Stanley, thank you so much for this video. When Green Acres began in 1965 I was 5 years old and growing up in a small town in PA. The opening shots always made me feel at home. My parents loved this show and I know they felt comfortable with the settings as well. I'm not real happy finding out that the farm is in California having always imagined it was Iowa or Maybe Kansas. But I still think it's a beautiful unassuming country home. Thanks for the ride!

[@StanleyFoss]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! I’ll have a part 2 coming out with even more GA locations

[@elwoodblues9613]

But wait, there's more! Hooterville's neighboring town is Pixley, and that's also a town on Highway 99 several miles north of Bakersfield. I'm pretty sure Bakersfield also has a neighborhood named Greenacres. And rumor has it that "GREEN ACRES" was painted on the roof of a barn near Tulare so that it could serve as the show's title card.

[@ThomasJanik-nf5vi]

There is strong indication toward the end of the series that their farm was in Kentucky. Sam Drucker read a zipcode that was suppose to attach to Hooterville. I always thought Green Acres was set in Oregon.

[@mrath]

@@ThomasJanik-nf5vi One of the things that was a running theme in all "Hooterville" shows was the actual state in which Hooterville was located, they carefully never mentioned a state, but also gave many conflicting "clues". For example, one time they indicated that Hooterville was in the Mountain Time Zone (two hours difference between Washington, DC), which could indicate Western Kansas or Nebraska (plus the episode where Lisa was accused of bombing Denver via a hot air balloon), Also, there was an episode where towns in New York State were given in reference. There have also been mentions that would have indicated that the town was in Illinois. However, I cannot think of an episode that would confirm California.

The 1939 water tower you saw on PJ burned up in one of those sweeping California wildfires about 20 years ago.

[@manidig]

Thanks for finding this. You should try to reach out to the folks who own it. Go to the town or the county where the real estate records are kept and reach out to them. They might even have a story. Filmways was a cheap company. Vic Mizzy (who wrote the music that you are mangling in your sound track) also wrote the music for The Addams Family (another Filmways Presentation). He was told they wouldn't pay to get a singer to sing it. So Vic himself is singing it. On three tracks. So it's likely Filmways sent some young intern out in his own car with a movie camera and said "Shoot some farm footage" and since this house is on a highway the owners probably were never contacted for permission.

Good job! I was searching You Tube not long ago wondering if anyone had done and locations on this. So glad you found it. Too cool

Never forget, it was the network purge of all these wholesome shows about patriotic american rural life that led to all of those sneaky opinion changing " comment on the state of society by preaching liberalism isnt bad" schpiel shows that got us exactly where we are today.
