What The Oxford English Dictionary Doesn't Tell You About Sentience

A spin-off of the CBS program Petticoat Junction (1963 ), Green Acres exceeded its predecessor in audience popularity-- investing 4 of its six seasons as a Top 20 Nielsen-rated program. Its family-friendly humor puts Green Acres in the very same nostalgic category as programs like The Andy Griffith Show, back when TV comedies were all about humor and not as serious as they would later end up being with the introduction of 1970s stalwarts MASH and All In The Household.

  1. A spin-off of the CBS program Petticoat Junction (1963 ), Green Acres exceeded its predecessor in audience popularity-- investing four of its 6 seasons as a Top 20 Nielsen-rated program. Its family-friendly humor puts Green Acres in the exact same nostalgic classification as shows like The Andy Griffith Show, back when TELEVISION comedies were all about humor and not as serious as they would later end up being with the intro of 1970s stalwarts MASH and All In The Family. The brainchild of developer Jay Sommers, writer for programs such as The Experiences Of Ozzie & Harriet and Petticoat Junction (where Green Acres characters Sam, Doris, Fred, and Arnold make their first appearances), Green Acres' special brand name of comedy resides on through an effective and continuous syndication run, and its memorable signature tune even recorded the popular culture for a second time when Old Navy incorporated it into one of 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 childhood dream of operating a farm, conman Eustace Haney (Pat Buttram) uses him the offer of a lifetime. Just the deal of a life time ends up being a 160-acre dump in the imaginary town of Hooterville. However, Oliver sets out to turn the farm into a rural gem, while Lisa is reluctant to leave her life of opportunity in New York. Hired hand Eb Dawson (Tom Lester) assists the Douglas household, and Sam Drucker (Frank Cady), a carryover from Petticoat Junction, runs the regional general store. However the true life of the show originates from next-door neighbors Fred (Hank Patterson) and Doris Ziffel (Fran Ryan) and their adopted child-- a valued pig called Arnold who shows numerous human-like traits. In time, Lisa learns to like the people of Hooterville, trying her finest to bring sophistication to the backwoods region (and while still utilizing her Manhattan wardrobe). The Green Acres DVD features a number of amusing episodes including the series best "Oliver Buys a Farm" in which New york city attorney Oliver Douglas decides to live out his dream of residing on a farm. So, without telling his wife, he stops the law practice of Felton, O'Connell, Clay, Blakely, Harmon, Dillion & Pasteur (whew!) in favor of a rundown system of land in rural Hooterville. When his wife Lisa sees the farm, she goes ballistic Other notable episodes from Season 1 consist of "You Can't Plug in a 2 with a 6" in which Oliver must constantly remind Lisa never to utilize a home appliance( s) that will press the generator over a 7 on the power scale, and "Lisa Bakes a Cake" in which Lisa decides to bake a cake and ends up with a twenty pound cake.
