Actually, Eddie Albert was an attorney on the show. Cap'n Bob might be thinking of the judge character that Jim Backus played as the husband on the "I Married Joan" series.
It seems that the purge of shows with hillbilly themes or rural life, really did occur. One story went there was a meeting of executives and someone said, or was overheard with a comment "We heard they call that the HILLBILLY NETWORK" and someone went back and had all the shows cancelled based on those comments!
(Purge around year 1971, according to the essay posted here)
