    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.

    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.

    Australian here. Watched Green Acres as a kid. I've since visited the houses of The Nanny, King of Queens, The Brady Bunch, the Ponderossa, as well as Rydell High and Thunder Rd, the cake shop of The Cake Boss, the park in Billy Jack, and I recently learned where the bat cave is for next trip. My daughter has also been to the 4077th.

It's probably long gone but it would be awesome if it was still around and the sign was intact.

    Some footage of Hooterville (on The Beverly Hillbillies) was filmed at what was once called Gold Rush Junction, then it was Silver Dollar City and is today part of Dollywood in Sevierville TN. I don't recall if any of Green Acres or Petticoat Junction was filmed there.
    I went back and watched the show and in the 1st episode it say they are from the Ozarks.. but later they talk of Pearl coming from Tennesse... I guess they tried to include all the locations they believed Hillbillies to live in the story... Mousouri, Arkansas and Tennessee.

    On my way to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo, I saw a sign Paul and Ruth Henning Conservation Area. I thought, "Could it be the same?" yes! I have since learned Paul Henning had lots of experience with south west Missouri, the hillier and rockier parts. Wiki P says he was camping nearby when he thought of Beverly Hillbillies. It's too bad the studio couldn't fork over the money to send a second unit to film establishing shots in that area. While on one hand it's perhaps likely more would still be there, it's also true they have tornadoes.

    Stanley, thank you so much for this video. When Green Acres began in 1965 I was 5 years old and growing up in a small town in PA. The opening shots always made me feel at home. My parents loved this show and I know they felt comfortable with the settings as well. I'm not real happy finding out that the farm is in California having always imagined it was Iowa or Maybe Kansas. But I still think it's a beautiful unassuming country home. Thanks for the ride!

      But wait, there's more! Hooterville's neighboring town is Pixley, and that's also a town on Highway 99 several miles north of Bakersfield. I'm pretty sure Bakersfield also has a neighborhood named Greenacres. And rumor has it that "GREEN ACRES" was painted on the roof of a barn near Tulare so that it could serve as the show's title card.

      @mrath Рік тому

      @@ThomasJanik-nf5vi One of the things that was a running theme in all "Hooterville" shows was the actual state in which Hooterville was located, they carefully never mentioned a state, but also gave many conflicting "clues". 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. There have also been mentions that would have indicated that the town was in Illinois. However, I cannot think of an episode that would confirm California.

In season three, episode 21, Mr. Haney mentions that it's nearly 300 miles to Chicago. Based on that and a shared history with The Beverly Hillbillies, I've calculated that Hooterville is located somewhere between Charleston Missouri, Harrisburg Illinois, Madisonville Kentucky, and Clarksville Tennessee. 🚜
