The episode was made over 55 years ago and it seems like the craziness of today.
Green Acres has always been on of my favorite shows since I learned what reruns were in the 1970s. The precursor to Green Acres was a short lived radio show called Granny’s Green Acres.
Happy Birthday Oh pig O mine...
We’re watching the episode where Arnold is going to Hollywood after his debut in the Hooterville Theater. I don’t think any comedy has ever made me laugh as much as this program.
They don’t make those shows anymore. Think about the shows that they had back then - Gillian’s Island, Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillsbillies, Leave it To Beaver, Family Affair and My Three Sons ( if they reboot that, Steve Douglas would be gay or a pedo or both) amongst others.
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
Dahling 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
Here’s your example of where men are forced to do something with their bodies against their will, on fear of imprisonment or death by government, during wartime.
End the draft and selective service. my body, my choice. I’m not saving people that I don’t believe deserve me sacrificing myself for. Let the leaders who effed things up in the first place fight each other, thunderdome style.
I was going to come onto this thread and make a joke about that episode based on the headline...but then I see that episode is indeed what this thread is about. :-)
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.
Just don't emulate Hank Kimball if you ever want to find your keys.
