 S.T. Karnick on Paul Henning on National Review Online
The television comedy writer-producer Paul Henning, who died last week at the age of 92, was one of the most underrated comic writers of our time.
Henning is not nearly on their level, of course, but he compares favorably to second-tier comic geniuses such as Ludvig Holberg and the team of Beaumont and Fletcher.
Henning's brand of humor is always refreshing and delightful, and I dearly wish there were more comic writers —; and thinkers — like him working today.

 Paul Henning - The Memorable TV Hall of Fame
Throughout the 1960s, Paul Henning was the creative mastermind behind three of the most successful sitcoms on television: The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), Petticoat Junction (1963), and Green Acres (1965)--all of which were narratively interthreaded, and the first of which was perhaps the most successful network series ever.
Petticoat Junction (1963-70, CBS) featured long-time Henning player Bea Benaderet as Kate Bradley, proprietress of the Shady Grove Hotel, a homey inn situated along a railroad spur between Hooterville and Pixley, with her three budding daughters providing ample latitude for farmer's daughter jokes.
