The series went on to flesh out the story in the song, as it told of the adventures of Stella Johnson ( Barbara Eden ), a single mother living in the fictional town of Harper Valley, Ohio , which was still dominated by the namesakes of the founder, the Harper family, most prominently represented by the Mayor , Otis Harper, Jr. ( George Gobel ). Mrs. Johnson's flouting of the small town's conventions, and exposure of the Hypocrisy of many of its other residents, provided the series' humor. In the shows early episodes, Mrs. Johnson had been recently elected to the Board Of Directors of the PTA and this was the source of most of the show's plots; later it was decided that this idea had been carried about as far as was practicable and the PTA aspect was dropped from the show, which was then retitled ''Harper Valley''. The show ran from January 1981 to August 1982 on NBC ; as too few Episode s were made for it to be practicable to Syndicate the program, it has been little-seen since then. |
