This theme song was written by Vic Mizzy and Irving Taylor. Vic wrote it "backwards" because he knew he wanted to end with the pitchfork scene on the last two notes. He told the producer to shoot the opening from a helicopter, showing "Green Acres" on the barn's roof -- then to illustrate each action described in the lyrics. Eddie Albert learned the words and music easily but Eva Gabor struggled. So Vic told her to speak the words, rather than sing them -- except the last four notes, which she performed on the first take. The guitarist on the recording is Tommy Tedesco, using the new "fuzz box" effect for the first time in a film score.

There was always a debate on who played bass on Stevie Wonders I Was Made To Love Her. If you listen closely to the fuzz guitar on that ? I'm saying that was Tommy T. Now Carroll Kaye played bass with a pic. It's never been credited but Motown contracted out occasionally to get different moods on some recordings.

Green Acres and numerous other "rural-themed" television shows and TV Westerns were suddenly and unceremoniously given the axe by then-honcho of CBS, Fred Silverman; this was due to Silverman's belief that the era of television for the benefit of viewers 34 and older was now dead and over, and that it was time to make way for "all-new," "all- mod," "socially relevant" programs. Gunsmoke BARELY survived what became known as "the Great Rural Purge" by nearly five years, ending its 20 seasons run in production in 1975. Admittedly, many of the older "rural" shows had long "jumped the shark" and were on their last legs, anyway, but numerous others that were still viable for several more seasons of production were simply given the equivalent of taking one's dogs, "sick" and "healthy" alike, to the woods and putting down each of them with a bullet to the brain. Silverman and his hatchet men did usher in quite a few great shows (All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, M*A*S*H, etc.); but they also threw out a lot of babies with the bathwater.

Anyone catch the 2 mistakes? The first one is the tractor has rubber tires but in the series it had steel wheels. The second one is when Oliver extends his left hand to grab Lisa but when he grabs her hand it's his right hand.

I used to love watching as a youngster. Then in 1968 my father moved our family from the city to the countryside, a new house he built himself. This new country neighborhood, unknown, just developing and named "Green Acres", the street we were to live on was called "Sunset Boulevard"! Nothing like this well loved TV show. We were out in the middle of nowhere. This is a real life story, absolutely. Lol!

just like with classic rock, we forget the stuff they dint rerun these days. As a kid I remember one season sitcoms that vanished from history. Plus these shows weren't written for 70 year old adults and that wasnt who watched them. The Big Bang theory wasnt written for older people either. There are quality shows on today they just werent made to your specs.

Since discovering this gem and Hogan's Heroes the past two years on METV I can't imagine how I lived my life without them! Now they're my nightly ritual. Green Acres was very much the precursor to Night Court, Newsradio, Community, Scrubs and other shows like that, that utilize absurdist, surreal and wacky humor and deserves the praise for it.

Trivia fact: this TV show was loosely based on the 1950 radio show, "Granby's Green Acres", starring Bea Benaderet (who eventually played Kate Bradley on "Petticoat Junction", also based in Hooterville). "Granby's Green Acres" was about a former banker "who knew little about farming and proved it every week."

You'd be surprised at what people used to wear just 50, 60 and more years ago. Nobody would go out in public wearing just a tee shirt. Every man and boy whether wealthy or pauper wore button shirts. Even working poor had their "Sunday best" wardrobe for church and formal occasions like weddings or making court appearances. And lots of men wore dress shirts and ties even when doing outside chores in the heat of the day. I knew an old preacher who, story goes, would wear coveralls while mowing his lawn, and guess what? He was wearing dress pants, shirt, and tie underneath! There was practically NO occasion in which he'd ever be caught not wearing dress clothes and tie!
