35. It was! It turns out it features in all three shows.

I googled it and Wiki has fascinating information on Bugtussle. The Clampetts, (Beverly Hillbillies), were from Bugtussle. Both Hooterville, (Green Acres) and the Shady Rest, (Petticoat Junction) were located near Bugtussle. Although heavily speculated on, the actual area in the US is never given for the town or any of the towns mentioned in the three shows. There are good arguments placing it in Tennessee and California and a few other states.

Check it out here under Hooterville: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooterville
