Green Acres Theme Song

Green acres is the place to be

Farm living is the life for me

Land spreading 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

Darling, I love you,

but give me Park Avenue.

The Chores....The Stores

Fresh air.... Times Square

You are my wife. Goodbye city life.

Green Acres, we are there!

Green Acres Tidbits

Green Acres was the spin off of the popular rural comedy Petticoat Junction. Both series took place in Hooterville.

In Green Acres, Oliver Wendell Douglas was a successful New York lawyer, who decided to get close to nature and buy a 160-acre run down farm in the Hooterville farming community. Along with him, came his extravagant wife, Lisa, who wanted nothing to do with farm life, she preferred living in New York. However, she slowly grew to love life on the farm yet she still wore fancy outfits that she used to wear in New York. Lisa loved the people of Hootersville, as she called it. But Oliver didn't like the people.

Eb Dawson was the farm handyman and Fred and Doris Ziffel were neighbors. The Ziffels were the proud parents of Arnold Ziffel, a prized pig who appeared frequently and seemed to have an attitude all his own. Frank Cady portrayed Sam Drucker who ran the General Store and appeared on both Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. Pat Buttram portrayed Mr. Haney, the con artist who sold the Douglases their farm.

Bewitched Theme Song

"Bewitched (Main)" by Howard Greenfield and Jack Keller

Bewitched Tidbits

A delightful if improbable scenario sets the lovely good witch Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) married to a mere mortal, a regular fella who worked for the ad agency McCann and Tate.To maintain domestic tranquility, she agrees to avoid the practice of magic. Easier said than done. That nose was always just a twitch away from trouble.

Perhaps Bewitched is best known for the tale of the two Darrins. Dick York, Darrin Number 1, was replaced by Dick Sargent as Darrin Number 2. Without so much of a word of explanation.

Dick York had been seriously injured while filming "They Came to Cordura" in 1959.The pain persisted into the Bewitched days. In 1969 he was written out of fourteen episodes to accomodate his infirmity. When he tried to return to the show, he suffered a seizure on the set and went off to the hospital. Never to return to the show.

That wasn't the only replacement. To wit:

Successive sets of twins were cast as Tabitha.

Alice Pearce (Gladys Kravitz) died in 1966 and so was replaced by Sandra Gould.

Darrin had two Dad's, Robert Simon and Roy Roberts.

Sam' s Aunt Hagatha was played by both Ysabel MacCloskey and Reta Shaw.

Darrin's secretary was played by four different actresses. A record even for Bewitched.

Ah, and the nearly silent partner in the ad agency, Howard McCann, who only apppeared twice, was played by two different actors - by Leon Ames and Gilbert Roland.

Elizabeth Montgomery was actor Robert Montgomery's daughter; she divorced actor Gig Young in 1963 to marry the show's director William Asher (I Love Lucy, Alice, Dukes of Hazzard), whom she divorced in 1973. In 1995 she married actor Robert Foxworth.

Passings

Sadly, all of the adult major players are dead. Agnes Moorehead died in 1974 of lung cancer, David White in 1990 of a heart attack, Dick York in 1992 of emphysema, Dick Sargent in 1994 of prostate cancer, and Elizabeth Montgomery died in 1995 of colorectal cancer.

That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

My manager is an only child. She is from England. She has no other living relatives except her husband and children and grandchildren. She and her Mom have been very close. When her mom started failing last year, she brought her here from England.

[luvie]

not!

[HiJinx]

My cooking isn't all that bad, but we've already started eating carry-out! It's just easier, y'know?

But, I'll cook because I also want to make sure we're getting nutricious meals.

As for luck...well, that goes both ways. She's very special, and I've always considered myself to be the lucky one!

[tomkow6]

Avoid fast food!
BUY A BURKA!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Continuing my prayers

[luvie]

MS.BEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(((((((((hugs))))))))

It's so good to see you tonight! Did ya work hard?

[Fawnn]

I can't do the fast food -- and my sinuses are too congested to risk wearing a burka. (Would wearing a burk on the west coast of Ohio be rediculous enough to be conJESTed?) ;)

[HiJinx]

Wow. She's gonna be put through a ringer emotionally.

Let her know she has prayer warriors supporting her.

[luvie]

I am so thankful that this one seems to be doing better than the last one. Maybe it's partially because she knew what to expect and what to do to make it get better quicker. Experience does count in some things. :o)

[BIGLOOK]

LOL!
A small group of Burka clad women on the dock could completely devastate the Cruise line trade here!
( But the local chicks would kick their burka butts into the bay, chanting to their amakua....Manu!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh boy, HJ....Nana is almost home!! I don't think she'll mind your cooking at all. LOL!! I'm betting that part of her fantastic recovery is the knowledge that she knows what is coming and what to do about it....no worrying about "what next".
