Billie Jo, Bobby Jo and Betty Jo just as I remember them, freshening up in an
open water tower:

The legs on the water tower are in my view a bit thick, I would try to use 1x1
rounds with tubing up the middle, or even 1x1 squares. But it's a great scene.
Thanks for sharing, Brian! Spotlighted.

Excellent, I reconized it right away. I remember watching that show as a kid and
thinking that scene was "so hot"...well it was hot enough for a 10 year old(1)
before cable.

Ya me too. I always liked the opening sequence, especially when they fling their
petticoats over the top of the tower edge...

1) dang did I just age myself there?

Prolly. For a while I wanted to be Uncle Joe when I grew up... he never actually
DID anything.

You know that Green Acres and Petticoat Junction are related, right? They are
both set in or near Hooterville and featured some of the same characters. I
think GA was the spin off. It took a much more bizarre turn though...

(...) Larry, You got me thinking - I always thought Green Acres came first, but then I found (URL) - a great page that details the "Hooterville Trilogy" (take that George Lucas!): The Beverly Hillbillies (1962-1971) Petticoat Junction (1963-1970) (...)
