Editor's Note
From the mind of Paul Henning, creator of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, came this charming sitcom that aired from 1963-70. Set in the fictional Hootersville, the show followed the goings-on at the Shady Rest Hotel, run by Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet) and her three gorgeous daughters: blond, boy-crazy Billie Jo (Jeannine Riley); literary, intellectual Bobbie Joe (Pat Woodell); and redheaded tomboy Betty Joe (Linda Henning). The only way to reach the hotel was via the Cannonball Express, which was run by Charley Pratt (Smiley Burnette) and Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis). The girls' Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan), who fancied himself the hotel's general manager but instead just generally shirked, and Sam Drucker (Frank Cady), who ran the General Store, round out the cast. This collection includes 20 restored episodes, and features Dennis Hopper, Adam West, and Charles Lane in guest-starring roles.
