Petticoat Junction - Season One Episode Eleven - 1963
"Uncle Joe's Replacement"

Continuing this classic gentle show from way back in 1963
Resolution upgraded to HD

In this episode.........
Kate and the girls go into town to pick up the pocket watch they ordered through Drucker's store - the watch being Uncle Joe's birthday present.
In an effort to boost the confidence of Herby, who is working in the store, Kate inadvertently offers him a job as Assistant Manager at the hotel, with an imminent promotion to Manager.
Herby of course accepts.

Kate doesn't have the heart not to give him the job, so she decides that she can give him some menial tasks at the hotel under the guise of the important sounding position.
However, Uncle Joe believes that Herby's arrival and Kate not wanting him to go into town with her and the girls among other things means that Herby is his professional replacement at the hotel and Kate is setting him out to grass against his will.
So, wanting to feel useful while doing something important, Uncle Joe goes in search of a job
He gets one, telling everyone that he is an executive with some large company.
Knowing that he's probably earning money in some low level job, which he is, Kate comes up with a scheme that will make Uncle Joe's wish to be an executive come true, as long as Billie Jo agrees to help..
However, that backfires, due to Joe's harebrained advertising schemes - which sets in motion a deal between Kate and Sam to bring life in the valley for both Uncle Joe and Herby back into balance.
