*******BREAKING******Bobbie Jo of Petticoat Junction dead!!

There was a more obscure Bobbie Jo, and that is the one who is gone.

Someone explain PJ. There were two casts? And yes I know google but I like to be instructed.

I think there was a total of 3 Billie Jo's (including Meredith who wasn't the first) and 2 Bobbie Jo's. I think Betty Jo was always Linda Kaye. I could be wrong though.

There was an early Bobbie Jo (the one who just died) and then a second Bobbie Joe, Lori Saunders, who most people know, who is still alive.

This really put things into perspective. Too young.

Betty Jo was always the same because she was the producer/creator's (Paul Henning) daughter.

I.AM.ON.A.ROLL!

Two fer.

Then there was the out if wedlock daughter Kate gave up for adoption.....Damita Jo.

I felt she'd make someone in California a fine housekeeper. What could we offer a half Mexican love child here?

A low rent homage to the show.

Mike Minor, the actor who played Steve the airplane pilot, was - mmm, how you say? - SMOKIN' HOT!

R12) And he could sing too!

1 Betty Jo ...... LINDA KAYE HENNING

2 Bobby Jo(s) ...... PAT WOODELL*, LORI SAUNDERS

4 Billie Jo(s) ...... SHARON TATE**, JEANINE REILLY, GUNILLA HUTTON, MEREDITH MacRAE

* WOODELL is the one who just died in late September

** TATE was signed, promoted and then pulled from the cast before filming commenced

WOODELL, TATE, MacRAE, and BENEDERET have all passed

The original cast.

NOTE: They're standing in the set used for the Clampetts kitchen on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES

Another of the original cast.

WOODELL left after only two season, LORI SAUNDERS is who most remember for playing Bobby Jo since her episodes are also the ones most often shown in rebroadcast.

Pat Woodell did some episode introductions on some of the DVDs. She was one of the better actresses (linda kaye henning was terrible).

LINDA KAYE was extraordinary according to her mother & father.

His singing was corny as hell but I would have liked to have fucked MIKE MINOR in his mouth.

Before Mike Minor began playing "Steve Elliott" in Season 4, he'd already appeared as another character in Season 2 named "Dan Plout."

They find her in the water tower?

Floyd was light in the loafers. and Charley was a butt pirate.

Mike Minor was the son of Don Fedderson , producer of "My Three Sons" so he and Linda Kaye Henning had a lot in common

Are they still married?

R24 No. They divorced after about 4-5 years.

♪♪ Lots of girls, you bet...... even more, when you get.... to the junction.... Petticoat Junction. ♪♪

I think it goes "Lots of curves, you bet..."

Original opening & closing credits from the fall of 1963.

Mike Minor just died last Monday, January 25, 2016, at the age of 75.

Damn just seems like all the great ones are dying off.

McRae, Henning, and Minor at Edgar Buchanan's funeral in 1979.

Well, she was moving' kinda slow.

Everyone who worked on that show, cast and crew, could've died today and I can't imagine I'd care one bit.

Thanks for the insight, r33. Very empathetic.

Who?

Hooterville.

I think you mean "HooterSville"

LORI SAUNDERS who was the 2nd actress to play 'Bobby Jo' is still living. It was SAUNDERS who is most often seen in reruns as she was in the colors episodes.

Producer Paul Henning had in-laws with a rural hotel in Missouri that was the inspiration for the show.

Was she the one who died by jumping off the Tallahachee Bridge?

You bumped this thread that started in 2015 to mention that R39?

The fourth Bradley daughter was a wild child. Last I heard of her she was living in Denver.

Mike was still handsome when he was on AMC but he seemed to age a lot more than ten years between the two shows.

Gunnilla Hutton had an affair with Nat King Cole the year before he died! That’s why she left the show!

Unlike the riffraff of today, even dogs dressed better back then!

What kind of name is "Gunnilla" anyway?

Isnt that dog Benji, star of several feature length movies? I know they both are/were straight, but a hot fuckfest could have been had between Steve and jethro.

Ewww, they swam in the town's water supply? And no telling what the dog did in there.

"That was the water for the train, not the town's drinking water."

Which is why the Cannonball belched fish stank from the Shady Rest to Pixley.

My young gayling fantasy was that I would grow up to live in that adorable cottage with the half-front door and be handsome Steve’s wife. Nuttin gay bout dat!
