I don’t mind the dog, but those human vaginas are just too much.

It wasn't the town's water supply, OP-it was only water for the 'CannonBall'-the train they took to Pixley and environs. The fact that I know all this depresses me greatly :)

We all have our unique skill-sets, R2.

Very true! And, as Lisa Douglas herself observed, her only unique skill was being able to imitate Zsa Zsa Gabor. So, putting things in perspective, I'd say R2 deserves a few W&Ws.

How do you know that, R2?

You know what bothers me more about the show, now that I think about it? Why did they have a steam engine? By the 60s, engines were all diesel electrics.

Nah, wasn't the thing about their contaminating the water supply; it was more about those old hillbillies standing around, waiting for the girls to exited the water tank, nekked, of course -

Rumor had it Uncle Joe regularly pissed in the water supply.

Betty Joe, Bobbie Joe, and Cheryl Joe. This water tastes rancid.

R11, Jeannine Riley and Jeannie C. Riley are not the same person.

And Edgar Buchanan, Bea Benaderet and June Lockhart were all established/famous actors before the show began.

As a kid watching the reruns I thought exactly that OP and it did bother me. Later, lilke R2, I figured out it was only the water for the train - but not until I saw the water dripping on Bronson’s hat in “Once Upon A Time In The West” in college. As a kid I was familiar with the water towers on top of NYC apt buildings so I assumed that the tank they were swimming in also fed into people’s homes.

Actually I think it was Woody Strode’s hat - college was a long time ago

And why would a dog need a petticoat?

It bothered me more that the little dog was allowed to run along those dangerous railway tracks.

What I don't understand is how one family had three daughters with three different hair colors. I think that Kate was fucking around on her husband. He confronted her about it, she then killed him and Uncle Joe covered the whole thing up in exchange for free room and board.

R12, Hopefully, Mike Minor skinny dipped in it.

As a child I didn't realize that the sisters were contaminating the water with their menstrual flows.
