Petticoat Junction (1962-70) was set around the happenings of the Shady Rest Hotel, the only hotel in town. The Shady Rest Hotel was run by widowed Kate Bradley (played by Bea Benaradet)and her lazy, overweight brother "Uncle Joe" Carson (Edgar Buchanan). Kate had three daughters, "boy crazy" Billie Jo, "book worm" Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo.

Green Acres (1965-71) was about a wealthy New York City couple, lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas and his diamond-clad wife, Lisa, who give up their Park Avenue penthouse for a run down farm, the "Haney" place, just down the road from the Shady Rest.
