We are tv show lovers. Valerie has started watching tv with Joe and is enjoying westerns.
I used to watch this show; it was silly, but funny. I liked Arnold the Pig the best.
I was reading about this show after posting this and it was part of a "universe" including The Beverly Hillbillies & Petticoat Junction and I think another but can't remember. Some characters from the shows appeared on other programs. They all had decent ratings, but the network canceled them (along w/ Hee Haw) b/c they didn't want to be labeled as a "rural channel".
