    A hundred miles to the east of "Green Acres" is the little town of Pixley, CA. "Pixley" was mentioned often in Petticoat Junction and Green Acres for both of their runs. The Hooverville Cannonball train ran between Hooverville and Pixley in both of the series. The Hooverville Cannonball was about two hundred miles north in Jamestown, CA. in a railroad museum. It was also Secret Service agent James West's train in the series, "The Wild, Wild West", which was being produced at the same time as these series.

      At that point, all of the rural series had gotten stale. Mayberry RFD was a shadow of the original series, and the Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres had lost their creative spark. The move paid off for CBS as many of the the replacements, led by "All in the Family", "M*A*S*H", and "Mary Tyler Moore" became huge hits attracting younger audiences.

For example, one time they indicated that Hooterville was in the Mountain Time Zone (two hours difference between Washington, DC), which could indicate Western Kansas or Nebraska (plus the episode where Lisa was accused of bombing Denver via a hot air balloon), Also, there was an episode where towns in New York State were given in reference.

    Thanks for finding this. You should try to reach out to the folks who own it. Go to the town or the county where the real estate records are kept and reach out to them. They might even have a story. Filmways was a cheap company. Vic Mizzy (who wrote the music that you are mangling in your sound track) also wrote the music for The Addams Family (another Filmways Presentation). He was told they wouldn't pay to get a singer to sing it. So Vic himself is singing it. On three tracks. So it's likely Filmways sent some young intern out in his own car with a movie camera and said "Shoot some farm footage" and since this house is on a highway the owners probably were never contacted for permission.

    Green Acres was one of my favorite TV shows. Everyone used Mrs.. Douglas's Pancakes to fix their leaking roofs 😃😃😃. About 2 years ago at work ,there were a few of us that were about the same age talking about TV shows. Someone mentioned Green Acres and I started singing the song. When I got to Lisa's part one of the women started singing Lisa's part and I sung Olivers. When we finished we got applause and laughter. Last time I checked only Eb ( Tom Lester) was the only surviving cast member.

    That big lake around that area was a Oil Company exploring Drilling in 1954 and they hit Artesian that used to belong to the Franklin family and mr. Franklin was my school teacher at Georgia Brown Elementary in Paso Robles California.

    Then we can assume that Hooterville was probably located in California. Plus, there's a real-life Pixley there as well. Pixley is located between Bakersfield and Fresno. Plus the water tower where Bradley girls from Petticoat Junction swam in is located in Jamestown, CA. Otherwise, Green Acres. Petticoat Junction, and The Beverly Hillbillies were all filmed at the General Service Studios in Hollywood.

      The 1939 water tower you saw on PJ burned up in one of those sweeping California wildfires about 20 years ago. It was replaced with a somewhat similar tower on the same footing using the salvageable hardware from the original. And, the girls were never actually in that tower. They were standing in a mockup of the tower, on the ground.

No doubt it is the same house and that was certainly a good catch for you to notice and find it. I think you're right about the windmill location also. Too much of a coincidence not to be the same place.
    Sure would be neat if you could stop and visit and they would let you inside. Bet that would cause kind of a surreal feeling.

Our house even looked a bit too close to the old Haney place back then. My dad was a farmer but by the time of the show rented out our farm and had a regular job. When on travel I went where you were and the porch had been added to the house in the opening sequence. I also went to Pixley to photograph the water tower once.

    The mention of "Gomer Pyle" in this video is very interesting because I always thought there were two (maybe not opposing) simultaneous rural tv dynasties in the '60s. Andy Griffith had one with his show, "The Andy Griffith Show," the aforementioned "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and the latter '60s "Mayberry, RFD". Then there was another dynasty under producer Paul Henning, who made "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Petticoat Junction" and then recruited writer/producer Jay Sommers to create "Green Acres". Sommers had originally created a radio comedy back in 1950 called "Granby's Green Acres" about a bank president who gives up the rat race to become a farmer with his wife and teenage daughter. Pretty much the same concept but he resurrected it for tv when CBS was badgering Henning for a third hit show. So for them to mention the competition like that was eye-opening. I do recall another instance in a different episode where Lisa is throwing a formal dinner party and Mr. Ziffle says he has to get home because he is missing "Dick Van Dyke". I don't know whether Gomer Pyle or Dick Van Dyke ever actually followed Green Acres on the CBS lineup.

    • @StanleyFoss
      @StanleyFoss  2 месяца назад
