Uncle Joe: Edgar Buchanan., Kate tries to give Bobbie Jo an interest—in boys., During the first season of Petticoat Junction, Bobbie Jo Bradley was portrayed (by Pat Woodell) as a naïve bookworm, with no interest in men–or virtually anything else. Worried that Bobbie Jo will never find a husband, her mom Kate (Bea Benadaret) takes it upon herself to force the girl out of her cocoon and transform her into a real fashion plate.
