My fondest memories as a child were watching Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies. I liked how the cast of all three shows would appear in each show from time to time. It’s a shame that we don’t have shows like this today but at least we can still watch them on UA-cam, which I still do.
I read that this episode aired shortly after Bea Benaderet died. I am glad that they didn't recast her part because I don't think anyone could have taken her place.
So sad that Bea's last "appearance" on the show was through a body double and only her voice. She was too ill to appear in person. The episode aired after she passed away. Kate was the heart of the series.
In "the olden days" of TV it was very rare to acknowledge that an actor or actress had died in TV series. Usually they had the character move away, or just disappear. This kind of episode was as close as they ever got to a "tribute" episode. One of the things I'm really glad has changed!
Who wouldn't want to live in Hooterville? An ideal place for quiet living. The show is truly funny and heartwarming. Most of all , no one was ready for this show to end after Bea Benederet passing
I grew up in a house with a violent alcoholic mother back when, & Hooterville & All It’s people, was my Dream Home & Family. I was 8 years old & recall crying myself into throwing up, when I heard Bea had passed-it was just Sooo unfair that such a Sweet woman was taken from us, while my mother raged on beating me, & attempting to kill me numerous times. It was This that caused my temporary break in my Belief in GOD. That didn’t go over too well with my Grandparents, as my Great Grandfather was “The Country Preacher” in Charleston, WV, so needless to say, religion was forefront!!! But that visit was the time, when they found out just what had been going on, so at least I was able to get a different perspective. Mom sobered up numerous times, back then when police were called on her, the Actual Men in White pulled up, & wrestled her into a straight jacket to haul her off for a while, so of Course the neighbors knew, & we were bullied for it in school. The Last time she tried to kill us, I was 11 years old-we got away, & my brother called my Dad, who came Immediately and picked us up. My 1st memory in life was @ 2.5 years of age, when my mother got pissed for who knows what her drinking mind concocted, & was yelling while All of our steak dinners were thrown at my father. He got up, went into the bedroom, & was crying, which freaked me out, while packing a bag to leave. It wasn’t until I was much older, that I found out he fought like H£LL trying to custody of us, which made my mother Despise him even more, while he Always maintained Love for her, even though it Also came out that She cheated on him with a neighbor, who became our Stepfather. I always described her as THE Greatest, Most Talented, Giving, Loving person you’d ever meet when she was sober, but when she drank, Even Satan ran & hid. Mom spent her Last 11years Sober, & had time with her Grands, who Adored her!!! I got straight with God by the time I was 9.5 years old. She died just after the New Year Ball dropped on 1998, & I stated that the year could Only get better from That Horrible start….My eldest daughter of 16.5 years old, was killed instantly in a freak accident, on March 12th. There’s No Doubt that I Wouldn’t have made it through, if I Didn’t have my faith in GOD, & the Strength He built in me, along with learning Forgiveness, through my life. All started bc a little 8 year old me, wished she lived in Hooterville!!!🥰🙏
This reminds me of how Jean Harlow's character in Saratoga (1937) had to be shot from rear distant shots after she bowed out due to illness. She died during the end of production. As for Bea-one of the great forgotten names in TV history.
Thanks. Interesting and so great that she and the producers had the foresight to record that. Have to disagree though that she is forgotten. She is remembered and met anew by everyone who loves her as Pearl on the Beverly Hillbillies and Kate on Petticoat Junction!
Kind of ironic when you realize that Bea Benederet was the original voice of Betty Rubble; and while the actress who provided the voice of Wilma appeared on screen, only Bea's pre-recorded voice was used in this episode.
When I was a child, the weekly TV Guide had a letter c by any show in color. We had a console tv, but it was a b/w tv, so we saw all the shows in b/w. I liked this show best when the girls were in high school.
I'm not getting any volume on this video. Does this episode mention them making Uncle Joe an honorary member? If so he was already made a member in season 2 "A Visit From the Governor".
23:48 - "Fake Shemp" - is a type of body double who appears in a film as a replacement for another actor or person, usually when the original actor has died, or is unable or unwilling to reprise their role. Their appearance is disguised using methods such as heavy make-up (or a computer-generated equivalent), filming from the back, dubbing in audio and splicing in past footage from the original actor's previous work, using a sound-alike voice actor, or using partial shots of the actor. Coined by film director Sam Raimi, the term is named after Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges, whose sudden death in 1955 necessitated the use of these techniques to finish the films to which he was already committed. Once somewhat commonplace throughout the 20th century, the use of Fake Shemps to emulate the likeness of another person without their permission is forbidden under Screen Actors Guild contracts, largely because of a lawsuit filed by Crispin Glover - following his replacement by Jeffrey Weissman in "Back to the Future Part II" - that determined that the method violates the original actor's personality rights. The method continues to be used in cases, such as Shemp's, where the original actor is deceased and permission from the deceased actor's estate is granted.
Do I hear SPEAKING from the Kate character on the handcart and in the hospital room? That's a double playing Kate, right? (except for voice-only appearances and use of older footage in flashbacks)
I remember this when it first aired...was 9 years old and knew the deal with Bea being sick. was told by my mom....also knew how much i was very turned on by Steve (Mike Minor) another childhood crush...so ..we are born the way we live...
I don't understand why it was ok for the writers to let us know that Charlie died (and that was in an EARLIER season), but yet a couple of seasons LATER, Kate went off to visit a relative. And KATE was the main character on the show the audience deserved to know what happened!!
Well, they paid tribute to Bea Benaderet in the last episode of season 5 ("Kate's Homecoming") and in this episode. Everyone on the show knew this would be her last episode, and the strain they all felt showed. So, while they didn't announce Kate's death, they paid a very nice and heartfelt tribute to Bea Benaderet.
What happened to Floyd? I don't remember--did he pass away (the actor who played him)? I don't think that was really Bea, her voice, but not really her as they just showed her from the back like that? So sad that happened to her. She was wonderful.
The third episode, "Only A Husband", was her final physical appearance on the show, in which she shared a brief scene with Mike Minor....."The Valley Has a Baby"...featured Benaderet's stand-in, actress Edna Laird, portraying Kate with her back to the camera.--Wikipedia
Yes it is easy to mishear. However that word was already negotiated through in 1965 on the pilot of The Big Valley on ABC. It played in a later hour as Big Valley had a lot of pot boiler plots and concepts.
UA-cam: where everybody believes it was Frances Bavier's voiceover in Return To Mayberry when it wasn't, and nobody believes it was Bea's voiceover in The Valley Has a Baby when it was.
@@AlfredHawthornBennyHill And she was awful. They went to the trouble of everything down to the sets but couldn't afford a clip (soundbite) of Bavier from the original show(?).

🥃👴🏻 AWW SHUT UP
Petticoat Junction was the greatest of shows. I absolutely love it. I watch it every day.
I was reading an article - Bea Benaderet recorded that speech in September 1968, a month before she died.
I read that this episode aired shortly after Bea Benaderet died. I am glad that they didn't recast her part because I don't think anyone could have taken her place.
It was a stand in for her the voice doesn’t match up it was a good attempt for the time but as it was the execution wasn’t great
@@Alexwalker210 it is her voice. The body is the stand in. She did record her lines at the time of the previous episode (in which she appeared)

Jean Vander Pyl who played Gladys Tuttle was the voice of Wilma in the Flintstones. She was Bea Benendaret's co star who voiced Betty Rubble.
Evidently they were close friends too.
I still love this show!!!!!!!
Just wonderful. I saw this as a child and remembered what her Mom had written to her and thought how awesome it was.

Bea will never be forgotten as long as film exist. Those of us that grew up watching her still remember her and generations to come will know of her.
Very classy not to replace kate
I was kid, she was the leader & strength to the show💥
The MeTV cuts out the part where Uncle Joe gives Wendall a sleeping pill.
Thanks for the memories though bittersweet. ❤️🙏🏻🌹
Thank you! I just loved this show!
Wow Jean Vander Pyl guested on this episode Wilma Flintstone. Very sad though for Bea.

A girl is born; another girl is gone.
one Kate gone but a Kathy Jo is born
And I have a feeling that Kathy Jo was named for Kate
Do I hear SPEAKING from the Kate character on the handcart and in the hospital room? That's a double playing Kate, right? (except for voice-only appearances and use of older footage in flashbacks)
wasn't Bea actually in the first part of this episode i heard her voice on the phone in the store
That was indeed Bea's unmistakable voice on the phone.
I remember this when it first aired...was 9 years old and knew the deal with Bea being sick. was told by my mom....also knew how much i was very turned on by Steve (Mike Minor) another childhood crush...so ..we are born the way we live...
RUFE DAVIS LEFT PETTICOAT JUNCTION IN 1967 HE DID COME BACK FOR THE 1969/1970 SEASON

@@docadams7099 I fully agree. This episode was a fine tribute to an original cast member-as well as the first appearance of a new one.:-)
@@docadams7099 Except it wasn’t her last episode. She appeared in the first three episodes of season 6. And her voice was in episode 4
@@davidzenner7040 This is season 6, episode 4.
One odd thing Kate Bradley’s character,never showed a husband,or dad ,to her girls.
That's because the character of Kate Bradley was a widow
BEA BENADARETS LAST APPERENCE
What happened to Floyd? I don't remember--did he pass away (the actor who played him)? I don't think that was really Bea, her voice, but not really her as they just showed her from the back like that? So sad that happened to her. She was wonderful.
that was bea benadarets double the voice overs were beas

CHUCK SCHAFER l read that the voice-over was that of Jean Vanderpyl (Wilma Flinstone). It sounds like Jean.
Bobbie Jo originally acted quite smart but ended up acting silly.
Here come the crossovers, to prop up the show in Bea Benaderet’s absence.
Did that guy call Joe an “old bastard”?…must have gotten past the CBS censors…lol
He said " An old bachelor like you." That was Steve, Betty Jo's husband.
As the previous commenter said, he called him an old bachelor
Yes it is easy to mishear. However that word was already negotiated through in 1965 on the pilot of The Big Valley on ABC. It played in a later hour as Big Valley had a lot of pot boiler plots and concepts.
I didnt see kate that was a stand in you only heard her voice
Bea Benaderet would pass on after this episode.
She was already gone. That's what made this episode a little melancholy
Whatever the sex of a baby born before the main character's is the main character's will be the opposite.
UA-cam: where everybody believes it was Frances Bavier's voiceover in Return To Mayberry when it wasn't, and nobody believes it was Bea's voiceover in The Valley Has a Baby when it was.
That was her stand in with her back to the camera?
@@gohdux Yes
Janet Waldo was the voice of Aunt Bee in Return To Mayberry.
@@AlfredHawthornBennyHill And she was awful. They went to the trouble of everything down to the sets but couldn't afford a clip (soundbite) of Bavier from the original show(?).
Is it my imagination, or does the baby kinda look like Uncle Joe?
