Green Acres - a few scenes with Mr.Haney (1)

He had a distinctive voice which, in his own words, "never quite made it through puberty"

[@autumn1231]

I ran into Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) at a Whole Foods market in 1988 give or take a year. He couldn't have been nicer. He could not stop talking about Green Acres and even gave me a few good stories of Arnold Ziffle.

Here are the best/funny scenes with Mr. Eustance Haney (played by Pat Buttram) from the 1965 TV show "Green Acres".

[@tinman8972]

Some of the things that cracked me up about Green Acres were Oliver's wearing three-piece suits to do farm work and the quality of work (like the masonry on their fireplace) the Monroe Brothers did. A classic moment was when Oliver tried to impress upon someone the quality of the house's construction. Declaring "That's solid oak!" he stamped his foot on the floor and crashed through it.

He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[9]"

Oliver should have sent away for the biggest double wide trailer they could get and live in it while they Renovate his house.

That's true. Both Oliver and Lisa were fish-out-of-water when the show began. Lisa adapted much more quickly to her surroundings.

[@DaNintendude]

I've never seen the early episodes of the show so it's really interesting to see the way Lisa is acting here in the first episode. Her voice and attitude are very very different. I always wondered why the theme song portrayed her as wanting to live in the city, but in the show she didn't seem to mind living on the farm, aside from wanting to visit New York every now and then.

I took the show far too seriously, as a kid, and I despised Mr. Haney. I felt like Mr. Douglas had the right idea, getting out of the city, and his wife and all the locals tormented him for no reason, or maybe because she didn't want to leave the city. The fact that she and the locals got along great and HE was the stuffy one made the show very frustrating to watch, but I couldn't NOT watch. They might have the magic pig on that episode! Watching as an adult, I now enjoy it on 2 levels, because I remember how I was as a boy, who didn't quite understand most of the humor in the situation. Now, I watch it and I think "He's rich. Why's he so upset? If he weren't such a stuffed shirt, he'd build a mansion for Mr. Haney and have him over to tell lies at dinner! "More potatoes, Mr. Haney? Have some more brisket." He'd be dead of heart disease in 5 years, stuffing himself at my place.

Green Acres was a made for TV series of Marx Bro's movies... Mr. Douglas as Groucho... Haney as Chico... Lisa as talking version of Harpo...with the rest of the cast taking turns using Marx Bro characters... maybe that's an over simplification but all the similarities are there... the Marx bro's depended on absurdity, misunderstanding, mispronunciation, play on words, frustration and unexplained jokes... Paul Henning and his writers used these techniques to a T in the Green Acres show... all the absurdities Mr. Douglas is continually faced with are all normal to the rest of the cast... the writers knew how to use "benign violation" to it's fullest extent.

@@hugginkiss1027 ... try rereading my comment... I said "similarities" and though Groucho dished it out more than Oliver, Groucho was also flustered by likes of Chico and Harpo in numerous scenes... and there's numerous times when Mr. Douglas gets his licks in. Watch the scene in "Day At The Races" (it's on you tube) where Chico slicks Groucho out of money for "racing tip" guide books and compare that to Mr. Haney trying to scalp Mr.Douglas every chance he gets
