There was definitely a Petticoat Junction--Green Acres connection. I'm not sure about Beverly Hillbillies.

As I recall, "Petticoat Junction" came first (actually after "TAGS"). Anyone remember the opening where the girls were bathing in the water tower? I think it was on Saturday nights.

"The Beverly Hillbillies" was next; occasionally the Clampetts would visit town.

"Green Acres" was a later spin off; it definitely had more of an edge than "Petticoat Junction." Uncle Joe was in a few early episodes of "Green Acres', but later is was mostly Mr. Haney.

I think all these shows were Desilou productions.

;Another thing I remember is that many characters smoked; went with the commercials.

Not quite right.

BH debuted in September 1962.

PJ was spun off the next year with a Jethro/Pearl Bodine connection.

Green Acres was not spun off PJ until 1965.
