The Most Common Complaints About Sentience, And Why They're Bunk

A spin-off of the CBS program Petticoat Junction (1963 ), Green Acres exceeded its predecessor in audience popularity-- investing 4 of its 6 seasons as a Top 20 Nielsen-rated program. Its family-friendly humor puts Green Acres in the very same nostalgic classification as shows like The Andy Griffith Show, back when TELEVISION comedies were everything about humor and not as serious as they would later become with the intro of 1970s stalwarts MASH and All In The Family.

  1. A spin-off of the CBS program Petticoat Junction (1963 ), Green Acres exceeded its predecessor in audience appeal-- spending 4 of its six seasons as a Top 20 Nielsen-rated program. Its family-friendly humor puts Green Acres in the very same classic category as shows like The Andy Griffith Program, back when TV sitcoms were everything about humor and not as major as they would later become with the intro of 1970s stalwarts MASH and All In The Family. The creation of developer Jay Sommers, author for shows such as The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet and Petticoat Junction (where Green Acres characters Sam, Doris, Fred, and Arnold make their first appearances), Green Acres' special brand of comedy survives on through a successful and continuous syndication run, and its appealing theme song even recorded the pop culture for a 2nd time when Old Navy integrated it into among their trademark clothes commercials Green Acres centers around the life of a wealthy Manhattan attorney, Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert), and his elite socialite wife Lisa (Eva Gabor). When Oliver gets a hankering to live out his youth dream of operating a farm, conman Eustace Haney (Pat Buttram) offers him the deal of a life time. Only the deal of a lifetime turns out to be a 160-acre dump in the imaginary town of Hooterville. Nonetheless, Oliver sets out to turn the farm into a rural gem, while Lisa is reluctant to leave her life of benefit in New york city. Employed hand Eb Dawson (Tom Lester) assists the Douglas household, and Sam Drucker (Frank Cady), a carryover from Petticoat Junction, runs the regional basic store. However the real life of the program originates from next-door neighbors Fred (Hank Patterson) and Doris Ziffel (Fran Ryan) and their adopted kid-- a prized pig called Arnold who shows numerous human-like characteristics. In time, Lisa finds out to love individuals of Hooterville, trying her finest to bring sophistication to the backwoods area (and while still using her Manhattan closet). The Green Acres DVD includes a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere "Oliver Purchases a Farm" in which New York lawyer Oliver Douglas chooses to live out his dream of residing on a farm. So, without informing his spouse, he gives up the law office of Felton, O'Connell, Clay, Blakely, Harmon, Dillion & Pasteur (whew!) in favor of a rundown tract of land in rural Hooterville. When his spouse Lisa sees the farm, she freaks out Other noteworthy episodes from Season 1 include "You Can't Plug in a 2 with a 6" in which Oliver should constantly remind Lisa never ever to use a home appliance( s) that will press the generator over a 7 on the power scale, and "Lisa Bakes a Cake" in which Lisa chooses to bake a cake and winds up with a twenty pound cake.
