Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.

This pretty well lays it all out. Might have to read between the lines a little but the connections, coincidences and crossover are there.

I believe Sam Drucker may have appeared in all 3 series - Petticoat and GA were definitely linked.

Loved the BH but Green Acres was so off the hook it might get the nod.

I believe it may have had the first lesbian in TV series history (Ralph - the handyman/woman).

Mr. Haney is one of my all time favorite characters.

Also, I love both these shows because they never had a "very special episode" where a character has breast cancer or some other tragedy. The characters were consistently shallow - as they should be.

Sam Drucker also wanted to marry granny.
