Thank You! I really enjoyed watching that! I've loved Green Acres since I was 10 y/o. I'm now 64 and it still never fails to make me laugh, yes, out loud.....thank you, MeTV. I thought I knew many behind-the-scene tid bits about the show, but I learned even more from your video. The story about Eva thinking that feathers came from pillows nearly had me in stitches! REALLY? She WAS the perfect Lisa Douglas. It was the timing on the show that was key....the persistent interruptions of poor Oliver from the rest of the cast definitely would've left little room for ad-lib, all right. Eddie Albert was always one of my favorite actors, both on screen...and off. An all around terrific guy! I believe he lived to be 99 y/o....and who can forget the greatest TV theme song of all time? The second best? The Addams Family, of course! THANK YOU Vic Mizzy! A re-do of the series? I'd be game for that, but it's awfully hard to improve, or even equal, perfection.

Even when home stereo became available in the early 60s, "stereo" usually meant a device to play vinyl disks (records) in stereo. Stereos often included a radio, too, but playing records was the basic function. A radio (AM, FM, FM stereo) was always a "radio."

[@georgiaayres5805]

I loved watching the animals the most. Arnold was the absolute best. I would rather not have a reboot. No one can replace the original actors.

[@katazack]

So true. The show was brilliantly cast. Unfortunately, many of those actors became disillusioned that they were not included in many of the promotional enterprises stemming from the show, and that they were not paid what they felt they deserved.

[@NarnianRailway]

Enjoyed how the creators of Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies provided excellent backstories in the first episodes of each show. (like Oliver's crop report during an aerial bombing run during the war) As for the location of Hooterville, in an early episode of Petticoat Junction, a C&FW Railroad wall map including their Hooterville line was displayed in a boardroom scene. The rivers of the mid-west were evident. Based on their state lines, it must have been a parallel universe because such a charming valley with Hooterville and Pixley and its unique characters could not exist anyplace else. ... or maybe the C&FW wall map was drawn by Arnold Ziffel as a school project.

[@lisadwhitworth]

Green Acres and I have a connection! I found out that my name "Lisa" was in honor of the character portrayed by Eva Gabor! My grandmother had suggested the name to my parents but we did not know that connection until I was watching a rerun of Green Acres back in the 80s with her. :)

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

[@davemattia]

The character of Mr. Haney was not based on Elvis Presley's manager. It was based on a trotting racehorse trainer named Charlie Norway who raced horses at Hollywood Park long before I was born. Back then, the track had two racing seasons per year. One for thoroughbred racing and another for harness racing. I know this because I wrote Charlie's obituary when he died around 2010. Prior to his passing, when he was old and sick, I took over training his remaining horses. Jay Sommers loved horse racing overall, but, like a great many Hollywood people of the time, he had a penchant for harness racing. Through his interest, he got to know many of the people in the harness racing industry -- mainly the wheeling and dealing Charlie Norway. Charlie was a way worse huckster than Mr. Haney, but loveable nonetheless. The name Mr. Haney comes from an old harness racing story about a slow horse named Mr. Haney who Charlie Norway bought and sold about 20 times. Once, he sold 500% of Mr. Haney because he knew the horse would never win a purse that would need to be distributed. Charlie was being paid to train Mr. Haney by 5 people, each of whom thought they owned the entire horse. Charlie told me that training the horse was easy but keeping his owners from meeting each other was a full time job. That is why Jay Sommers named the character Mr. Haney. BTW - Charlie's estate still owes me $5,000 -- I'll never see it. :) You can verify me on IMDB ( David-Damien Mattia).

Green acres was one of a kind. No one in Hollywood has the class to replay their rules

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

Right as you spoke about "exactly where Hooterville is" you showed a scene where they had dressed a mountain range in the background through the window. Then you said "300 miles from Chicago" but I still cannot think of a place even directly West of Chicago that would provide a view of a distant mountain range. And the Smokeys do not appear as a big range of mountains from a distance much either, so East is an unlikely direction. 300 mi West of Chicago one suppose would be Kansas or Wyoming or Iowa or Missouri, so maybe they are visible from that far. I lived in Denver for a spell, but am not sure from how far East the range is visible.

[@goplad1]

A few corrections are warranted here: People in the radio show years did not listen to their "stereo" for entertainment. Since the stereo technology didn't happen for commercial use until 1958 they had to settle for listening on their old timey one speaker radios. In 1971 when CBS's "rural purge" occurred it did not include the Andy Griffith Show. That show ended it's run in 1968. You are referring to Mayberry RFD, a spin-off of the Andy Griffith Show. The Green Acres reunion movie was in 1990, not 1980.

Please do not remake Green Acres. I love the cast from the TV show. And yes I am a fan of the show.

I agree with you. We don't need a reboot. It's perfect just the way it is.

What's your favorite episode, John?

[@wvpirate]

@@FactsVerse The pilot where Oliver brings Lisa to the farm. And we meet Mr. Haney. We also see John Daly who was the moderator for "What's My Line?"

[@stacymoore9836]

I agree totally

I find it so funny how Lisa would go to bed with make-up and jewelry on 😂😂

...and wear Chanel dresses and pill-box hats on a farm.

One of the seriously funniest shows ever. Perfectly cast, written and filmed. Poor Mr. Douglas getting flustered with the bizarre events each week, comedy GOLD
