What movie series was a spin-off of the 1947 movie, The Egg and I?

Love Ma and Pa Kettle movies! Great clean fun entertainment with Pa’s ideas antics and laziness..

great actors .

Lenny the Clam, I remember those watching those movies when I was really young. and they were always hilarious I'd love to see them come on really enjoyed them.

Oh I love those movies!!! Most of what you see on TV these days is pure trash.

Really goofy, but at the same time oddly intellectual humor. I know, impossible to combine the two, however they were able to pull it off with amazing success.

I remember watching them as a kid. loved it

loved watching these old gems on saturday mornings!

I think she should have won. Great actress.

She was in the move “The Grapes Of Wrath.” Sensation movie! If you haven’t seen it, oh you’re missing out.

they don't make good clean movies anymore...no foul language no violence..just good clean fun

Indiana-Nana!, you’re thinking of Jane Darwell, who won the Oscar for “The Grapes of Wrath”. Marjorie Main had a small role in “The Women” 8 years earlier which had a small taste of her Ma Kettle character, very funny. But the highlight of her career was a dramatic turn in 1937 playing Humphrey Bogart’s mother in “Dead End” which was directed by William Wyler who expected a lot from his actors, culminating in his having the record for most performers in his films receiving an Academy Award nomination. Laurence Olivier once lost it after Wyler said “Again” for the 37th take. Olivier said “My God, man, what do you want?”. The film was “Wuthering Heights”. Oh, and I live in Gnaw Bone, Indiana, Nana. 🤣🤣🤣

blakqueen63, Same with me.

Percy Kilbride was comical in the movie State Fair. He played the part as the neighbor who was eccentric and a tightwad.

Ma and Pa Kettle do math. Funniest skit ever.

those movies are so good that every age in a family watch them.

Loved it when Ma hitting the triangle proceeds to say Come and Gitit..

Now thaughs movie's where funnier than cooter breath I tell ya! We need more movie's like that with the stuff this world is going through now! Don't ya know...

Uninitialized, Loved what she said about her kids.

Before my time! Seen them and they're funny.

Marjorie Main is from the same county that I live in; Shelby County, Indiana. Her former home is in Boggstown, Indiana.

They're Funny

I live 11 Miles from the original farm. outside Chimicum WA. Egg and I road still there. in Jefferson County. In the Olympic Peninsula.

My mother loved these movies. I could not get into them, even at an early age, I knew there was something wrong with a totally lazy and useless husband and father of countless children, and the wife just goes along with it.

ChampionNymph37634, Yes and I think the TV show Green Acres fits in that goofy but intellectual humor.

Speedy, memories!!!!!
