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.

Long overdue: In Corpus Christi, Texas, 91-year-old Enrique Salazar shows the Purple Heart he received for a wound suffered while helping to save two injured comrades during World War II. It only took the military 60 years after his discharge to formally honor him.

Could this be the First Reported Sighting?

Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.


Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof [came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.


Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.


Eze 1:7 And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.


Eze 1:8 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.


Eze 1:9 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.


Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.


Eze 1:11 Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were] stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.


Eze 1:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.


Eze 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.


Eze 1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.


Eze 1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.


Eze 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.


Eze 1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they turned not when they went.


Eze 1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four.


Eze 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.


Eze 1:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.


Eze 1:21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.


Eze 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature [was] as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.


Eze 1:23 And under the firmament [were] their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.


Eze 1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.


Eze 1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.


Eze 1:26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.


Eze 1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.


Eze 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
