Oliver got Lisa out of NYC just in time!

Green Acres Lyrics by Vic Mizzy

Green Acres is the place to be.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square.

You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

If Ken Griffin moves out to Hooterville, I wonder if he will treat Arnold Ziffel (the pig) better than Oliver did. Arnold the pig was pretty amazing. From Wikipedia:

Arnold can do pretty much anything a human can. He can write his name and change channels on the television. He watches the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite to keep up with the issues.[5] He signs checks and can adjust the TV antenna, and he is the smartest student at the local grade school.[6] He carries his lunchbox in his mouth, and often plays practical jokes on the other students.[7] Arnold is also artistically talented: he is working on a novel, he plays the piano, and he is an accomplished abstract painter, dubbed "Porky Picasso", whose piece titled "Nude at a Filling Station" wins first prize out of two thousand entries in a student art contest.[8][5] He even works as a "paper pig" delivering newspapers, although he has a bad habit of throwing copies so hard and so badly aimed that he sometimes breaks windows. Arnold is very lucky. He wins a trip to Hawaii in one episode, and a trip to Hollywood in another. After a Hollywood screen test, he is cast in a role originally intended for a horse, but after the horse, implied to be Mr. Ed, explains to Arnold that he needs the job to send his son to Stanford, Arnold's deliberate bad behavior leads to him being fired and the horse getting his job back. He also wins a prize at the Pixley Bijou movie theater for having the most original costume... the theater manager says that Arnold has the best looking pig costume he has ever seen.

Who needs New Yorkers when they can go country and trade New Yorkers for New Porkers like Arnold Ziffel?
