We put it on for the kids-——but we fell in love with it. The kids were too young to get the nuances.

Kind of reminds me of the '60's sitcom Green Acres. Show seemed fashioned for youngsters, but as an adult I see many hilarious undercurrents that sure missed when I watched it when I was 8 or 9 years old.

Close. But backwards. GREEN ACRES was for adults. Timeless, classic, genius humor that stands up today better than anything from the '50s-'70s. It was a Matt Groenig influence in creating The SIMPSONS.

Alas, the Arnold episodes scored the biggest ratings, so the last year or so they dumbed it down a little and tried appealing more to kids.
