What is the grandpa's name in Petticoat Junction?
There was no Grandpa--at least the Bradleys didn't have one. There was a "Grandpa" Jenson who was played by Burt Mustin, but he was a peripheral character. More likely you're thinking of Uncle Joe, the show's foil. He was played by character actor Edgar Buchanan, who was also William Boyd's sidekick on Hopalong Cassidy. He died in 1979.
Who played the mother on petticoat junction?
the actress Bea Bernadette ( who also, not so well known, voiced Wilma Flintstone) played the role. it so happened she died while the show was in progress, and there were changes effected in the plot- Uncle Joe, previously a comic-relief character was promoted to Hotel Manager. The familiar ( Mommy) actress- June Lockhart, was introduced as a female doctor and the senior female lead. The presence of a female Doctor in what was essentially a situation comedy was, for the time, a bit odd. The theme song was altered to ( It is run by Joe, come and be his Guest!) following the death of Bea Bernadette who was known as Kate on the show. The name of the Hostelry was the Shady Rest.
What is the name of the dog in petticoat junction?
The dog in Petticoat Junction didn't have a name. He was simply referred to as "dog". The dog's name in real life was Higgins, who would later portray "Benji" in the movie of the same name. It should be noted that beginning with Season 5, Episode 21 "Higgins Come Home", the dog was often referred to as "Dog" so it can be argued that the dog's name on the show was "Dog". In Season 5, Episode 14 "Kate's Day In Court", Kate (Bea Benaderet) states "he doesn't have one" when asked the dog's name. It could be argued that eventually the dog's name WAS in fact "Dog"...it could also be argued that the dog had no name.
