Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who did Ralph Monroe want to marry?

Answer: Hank Kimball

Poor Ralph! She was forever mooning over bumbling Mr. Kimball. "Hankie", she called him. In season five episode, "Ralph's Nuptials," they actually did get married! Hank proposed under a heavy medicinal influence, but it was later discovered that Mr. Drucker, the justice of the peace, had not renewed his license, and the marriage was not legal.

2. What was Homer Bedloe's goal in life?

Answer: to put the train out of business

3. Who was Molly Turgis?

Answer: A ghost

Pity the ghost of Molly Turgis! An ugly girl, with no friends, she haunted Hooterville and made bad things happen whenever her name was mentioned. The townspeople had taken to calling her "You-Know-Who." (Shades of Lord Voldemort!) Lisa Douglas finally was able to persuade Molly to stop her pranks by giving her a ghastly make-up and hair make-over! Molly was played by Renie Riano.

Eb was Oliver's hired hand on the farm. He slept in the hayloft of the barn with his pet turtle, Eloise.

10. According to the "Petticoat Junction" theme song, what is there even more of at the Junction?

Answer: curves

"Curves" was a reference to the winding train tracks and the Bradley girls' hourglass figures. The theme song:

"Come ride a little train that is rollin' down the tracks to the junction.
Forget about your cares, it is time to relax at the junction.
Lotsa curves, you bet. Even more when you get to the junction.
Petticoat Junction!
There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the junction.
Petticoat Junction!
It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the junction.
Petticoat Junction!
And there's Uncle Joe, he's a-movin' kinda slow at the junction.
Petticoat Junction!"
