	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Ma and Pa Kettle At the Fair (1952)
		as the series' finest, Ma and Pa Kettle At the Fair was made at the height of the series, when the cast and crew had become familiar and comfortable with gentle notes of Ma and Pa Kettle humor and hadn't yet run out of ideas to keep them fresh and funny.
		The appeal of the series, I think, is that while the Kettles' lifestyle adheres to a very skewed kind of sense and breaks all conventions, they're always happy and only ever get into trouble when society's common sense ways of doing things -- which somehow are always convoluted and nonsensical -- interfere.

	MA AND PA KETTLE
		The first was MA and PA KETTLE, in which the Kettles attempt to spruce up their ramshackle farm in order to impress a visiting college official to get their son into college.
		The series rebounds somewhat with MA and PA KETTLE BACK ON THE FARM in which the Kettles return to the "peace and quiet" of their farm only to learn that not only are they about to become grandparents, but they must deal with their son's snooty Eastern in-laws.
		MA and PA KETTLE GO TO TOWN and particularly, MA and PA KETTLE BACK ON THE FARM are equally sharp, but the image at times suffers from noticeable, though tolerable, graininess.

		Pa might be a tad too gullible, and Ma might be a bit too feisty, but they always seem to get the best of every zany situation with luck, pluck and a whole lot of good old-fashioned love.
		The first movie; "The Egg and I" takes place in washington State around 1950 and serves as an introduction of Ma and Pa Kettle (two really wonderful "natural" people) as nearby country neighbors, then the later movies revolve entirely around Ma & Pa, their family and friends, and all their misadventures.
		Yes, you have to somewhat be a fan but seeing Ma & Pa getting their start in The Egg and I makes each addition a laugh a minute.

		There is a reference to Ma beating Birdie Hicks for first prize at the fair for her quilt, an import scene in The Egg and I. The prize money from the quilt contest was to be used to send Tom Kettle to college.
		Seeing the Kettles moving out of their run-down old house to move to a new house would almost be a disaster if it were not for the characters staying true to themselves.
		Ma was the practical one, just as she had been in the The Egg and I. Pa was the fish out of water that provided the best comedy.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town (1950)
		Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town is only the second or third entry in the series, depending on how you count, and already missing is the humor stemming from who the Kettles are (in favor of more conventional situational humor).
		One of the best scenes from the previous film was a simple one in which Ma and Pa have a conversation about washing underwear and fixing up the house.
		There's more to laugh at, even if it's more conspicuous that the writers were trying for them, and putting Ma and Pa smack into New York City makes for more comic, fish-out-of-water possibilities than the occasionally gimmicky efforts from the previous film.
