I would have a small wager that Petticoat Juction was a spin off of Green Acres.

Druckers store.

Google it shall we?

Wikipedia says:

The show was set in the same fictional universe as the rural television comedy Green Acres, also set in Hooterville. Both shows shared such characters as Sam Drucker, Newt Kiley, and Floyd Smoot. Characters on all of Henning's creations sometimes "crossed over" into another's programs, especially so during Green Acres first two seasons. In a 1968 episode ("Granny, the Baby Expert"), Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies comes to Hooterville to tend to Betty Jo and Steve's baby. Granny looks at a picture of Kate and is astonished at her resemblance to Jed's cousin, Pearl Bodine (previously played by Benederet). Other crossover shows include one where the Clampetts, Milburn Drysdale, and Miss Jane spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1968 in Hooterville on The Beverly Hillbillies; and a 1970 episode of The Beverly Hillbillies in which Mr. Drysdale thought that billionaire Howard Hughes lived in Hooterville (the man turned out to be Howard Hewes, who owned the Hooterville airport).

They were both spin offs from Beverley Hillbillies.

What about Casey Jones, remember that?? (The locomotives always looked 2/3 of full size).

And Mr Hanie (sp) from Greenacres, he alway did things roughly and hamfistedly - hence an expression when I was at school "Shit, that's a Hanie way of doing things"

Once again an expression (which I still use - much to the puzzlement

of those I around me when I use it) for when somebody does something daft or lame: "Don't be such a Gomer".
