Joe Saves the Post Office
After Sam makes some renovations and introduces some streamlined processes to the post office, he learns from the government that they are planning on shutting down his postal substation. Uncle Joe springs into action to save the Hooterville post office from closure. The plan is to have all the valley residents mail themselves something, to show that there is a need and demand for that substation to stay open. Joe then tries to see his congressman in Washington DC with Janet and Bobbie Jo. While there Joe recites from memory the Gettysburg Address during a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, and they meet an off-camera President Richard Nixon where, as Joe later tells Sam, the president supposedly said "Joe, old buddy, call me Dick..." In the end, it turns out there was a mix-up and Hootervilles post office will stay open.
