I just looked out for two weeks on MeTV and Green Acres isn't in the mix for the Atlanta Metro area.   Oh well, thanks for the heads-up though.

I remember that show as a kid. The farmer was always wearing a shirt and tie, even when working in the fields or mucking out a barn.

And Doris Ziffel(Barbara Pepper), was the real, funny one on that show, and Ms. Pepper was a best friend of Lucille Ball.

"Green Acres" was probably more of a 'gateway drug' than most of the pharmaceuticals swirling through the 1960s, as the flower people were trying to achieve that state of mind through chemicals that the show's characters had while sober.

Just don't emulate Hank Kimball if you ever want to find your keys.

Maybe your local affiliate is covering over it with local programming?
