Petticoat Junction Sitcom: Do you think Kate was a spanker?

[rfkmcm]

I forgot to mention an episode I saw the other night. Betty Jo is practicing for a public speaking contest at school. Right when Uncle Joe walks in Betty Jo loses her voice. She accuses him of being a jinx. Kate comes in to see what all the fuss is about. Betty Jo keeps saying that Uncle Joe is a jinx and becomes a little disrespectful. Kate has enough of it and warns Betty Jo, "If you keep saying that not only will you lose your voice but also your sitting capacity!!". Betty Jo hushes up immediately. She must have known from previous experience that Kate meant business. That was a very good scene.
