Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I cannot believe that this super-dumb TV Sit-Com from the 1960s actually lasted for 7 whole seasons. (But, yep, it sure as hell did!)To begin with, I found Petticoat Junction (PJ, for short) to be nothing more than a stale, one-note joke. And with that in mind, you can be sure that by the time the last few seasons of this show rolled around, that one-note joke must have been, literally, milked, bone-dry.I found PJ's storyline to be so annoyingly simple-minded that it was downright brain-dead as far as entertainment goes.I guess that back in the mid-1960s TV audiences were desperately hearkening back for the good, old days of Huck Finn (or something equally demented as that) for amusement.But, now, watching this dimwitted show 50 years later - Its plot line stinks something awful. And, with that, it absolutely boggles my mind that this TV show was as popular as it apparently was.Believe me, I really did try to give PJ a fair chance. But, time & again, its predictability was just awful and its moments of levity so atrocious that its appeal hung by a single thread (which inevitably snapped under its own stupidity long before its dead-end punch-lines were ever delivered).I still can't figure out why it was so necessary that Kate Bradley have 3 luscious daughters.For one thing, all of these babes were in their 20s and other than one being a blond, one a brunette, and one a redhead, these 3 Barbie dolls (who may have been "eye candy" diversion) had characters that were completely indistinguishable from one another.And their presence in the story didn't in, any way, alleviate the banality of PJ's hum-drum episodes. In fact, it only contributed to this TV show being nothing more than the most trite and irksome one-note joke imaginable.So - If you're looking to waste some time - Whatever you do, don't waste it on the likes of PJ..... You'll surely regret it if you do!

I will say Petticoat Junction is an enjoyable show. I am 56 with grandchildren if they were watching this show I would not worry something inappropriate popping up and surprising me or my grandchildren. I used to watch this show with my grandfather good times. This is a feel good show Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres are also enjoyable. I realize times change and people taste in television will change. These show would not make it today.These shows are still popular with those of us who grew up watching them. When I watched these shows I knew most problems could not be fixed in a half hour. Kate was great her death at such a young age was very sad she was the show. I am glad she got a starring role before her death Paul Henning was a great man for giving Bea this opportunity. Her supporting cast was also wonderful. This was a simpler time.

no pun intended! That whole theme of the Chico-Chico train pulling into "petticoat junction" is such a blatant latent subliminal seduction, catching us up in the momentum, carrying up in boleroish thrusts clear through to the commercial break preceding the exposition of the story, such as it might be, as the girls strip down, hearing their suggestive sotto voce as punctuation/incantation reminding us that the junction in question is - don't ever doubt it - "petticoat junction!" "And that's uncle Joe, he's movin' kinda slow at the junction"!As for mike minor, this was a hunk o' man, not the kind of guy you'd see on the dick van Dyke or the Lucy or the leave it to beaver or any TV shows at all for many years to come, for that matter. I have to add more comments now. Of course the girls were all hot. Did Aunt Bee really appear on this show, as one post here would suggest? I know sometimes there was this kind of cross pollination of characters between backwoods rube themed shows. Very appropriate for a spinster aunt named with affection after two of the biggest stars of the insect world!At least this show didn't have people like Mr. Haney and all the others on Green Acres which made that show so abominable for long stretches.WOO WOO PETTICOOOOAT JUNCTION!

Of all the shows on TV, I can say I relate to Petticoat Junction on a personal level. I feel as if I am watching home movies, and this experience is very heart-warming. Petticoat Junction fits the bill for a welcomed escape to do just as the opening credit say to 'forget about our cares.'Kate is so much like grandma was, and they were both great cooks. She also had a priceless wisdom, and much patience with Uncle Joe.I am one of three sisters, and we are all musically-inclined. I visited my grandparents during the summer in a country town much like Hooterville, and though there was no quaint hotel, there was a general store and train. The warm, loving atmosphere and great memories of spending time with them are re-lived as I watch the episodes.I certainly wish very much all of the black & white and color shows could be seen again on television someday in sequence. Thank you very much.
