3.0

Made during the era of the Beverly Hillbillies, this show about comedy in rural U.S. tended to be very low key compared to the other shows. The characters of each show would often dip into the other shows. Frank Cady as Sam Drucker would bind them all together. Even though it begins with three supposedly naked pretty women in a water tower. Still, it is very tame, very mild, and the comedy is very ordinary. Bea Benaderet runs a hotel with the three young women helping. Unfortunately for the male viewers, the hottest of the three quickly gets married. They're all "straight" women for the one comic character, Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan from Ride the High Country, Shane, and The Comancheros). It isn't a "bad" show, but more like a show you might watch from the elliptical or exercise bike.
