After the Show
Once the show had finally come to its end after nine successful seasons, the creator was looking for something else to do. Paul Henning would soon come up with some ideas similar to the original show, except that they would reverse the idea of going from rags-to-riches, and instead have a family going from riches-to-rags. The first show was known as Petticoat Junction, and its spin-off was called Green Acres. Of course, neither show would ever do as well as the original.

Bad Reviews
Even though fans were going crazy about the show, the critics did not see what the hype was all about. From the very beginning, the show was getting terrible reviews that carried all the way through the show. In most cases it was more focused on the failure of the storyline, and less about the talent of the actual actors. Critics said that the show was ‘hard to sit through’. Regardless, the show was an absolute hit and has seven Emmy nominations during its time.
