Ready for another trip to Hooterville and some of the gang. 'Green Acres' was all about Oliver Wendell Douglas, a New York lawyer and his wife Lisa played by Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor. Oliver wanted to be a farmer and wanted to move to the country, but Lisa did want to leave New York and her penthouse view, but as the theme went 'you are my goodbye city life Green Acres you are mine. Other characters were Ep their farmhand and kind of adopted son, Sam Drucker, Mr. Haney, and two carpenter/handymen that were sister and brother (cannot remember their names). A couple things I really remember from the show was Lisa was forever making hotcakes, Mr. Haney always finding a way to make money through cheating, and Oliver always climbing the telephone pole to make a call. This was a spinoff from Petticoat Junction I think.

Petticoat Junction
"All aboard the Cannonball, everyone!" We're heading for a very small village by the name of Hooterville just out of Pixley. Who remembers 'Petticoat Junction'? There was Uncle Joe, Kate, Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo. There was Sam Drucker the grocer and postmaster and even at times a justice of the peace if I remember right. Uncle Joe and Kate and three girls lived at the Shadyrest Hotel. There were many adventures thanks to Uncle Joe to keep the Shadyrest open for there always seemed to be the need for cash money for there seemed to be never enough. 'Petticoat Junction' was a show that started out in black and white and was then in color for those were the ones I remember watching when I was younger. Through the years things changed, for example when I watched some of the older black and white episodes there were two different actresses who played Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo that were replaced with Meredith Macrae (not sure of the spelling) and Lori Saunders and the one that played Betty Jo was now Linda Kaye Henning. I remember that the woman who played Kate died and believe it or not June Lockhardt played a psychologist and doctor at the Shadyrest.

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong βman.β

"Farm living is the life for me...." Another song that must be sung in your head when you think of this sitcom.
Amazing
I could never get into watching this one after seeing the first episode. Too busy writing my own stories (that never went anywhere).
