How Each Green Acres Cast Member Died

[@ginnywalker184]

I think we need more shows like "Green Acres" to lighten the sadness in the world. I watch the show every weekday evening and thoroughly enjoy it.

[@MrMark2024]

Ginnywalker, I couldn't agree with you more. The 1960's and 70's were a fun time to be watching TV. So many wonderful shows that kept us entertained. A bygone Era as far as TV shows go. Thank goodness for Dvd's. Memories that last a lifetime. 🤔

[@giannaromano582]

I LOVE Green Acres! I was so excited years ago when it first started being on air again. The characters were great and the actors portrayed them to perfection. Lisa Douglas made the show. Never a dull moment. And yes I would watch a similar show should it be aired today. But that would never happen. Some shows are a once in a lifetime. Green Acres, Addams Family etc. But now, we have the opportunity to see our favorites over and over again with streaming tv!

[@ginabideau3748]

We so need shows like Green Acres now in these awful times. I'm so glad I was a teenager in Ireland back then. My family loved this show and the actors. I live in a small town in the north of Ireland called Derry,although it was small we had 6 picture houses,very unusual back then. I will always remember Eddie Albert in Oklahoma . So many good memories of this show with my family . I'm 71 now and look back on those innocent days with my family and cherish them.

Did you see that 1941 photo from her first picture --- WOW ! What a stunner....

[@akrenwinkle]

@Thou Swell Eva, by all accounts, was a sweetheart. She played Merv Griffin's beard for years but never asked for much- just the use of his private plane whenever she wanted. Zsa Zsa, whose career was kept alive by Merv's talk show, wasn't so sweet. During Merv's male palimony suit, ZZ was asked her take on it. "Look at him. He's not built for any kind of sex."

There are so many people who still love this show. We could use a wonderful show full of innocence compared to today's television and movies. I loved shows set on farms because they represent a lost part of our country.

I met Alvy Moore in the mid-70s at Billy Bardy's Little People's celebrity golf tournament in Irwindale California. I was around 14-15 at the time and I asked him where did he get his Mr. Kimbel character from? He told me all he did was mimic one of the writers who was just like what he played. He never did tell me who was the writer. Very nice guy to talk to. He was very impressed by how much I knew about what roles he played in at such a young age. Still have his autograph with me today.

[@lorinwhittington3866]

I have to say that of the many amazing actors on Green Acres, Alvy Moore was my favorite. He was marvelous! He was so original, and creative. I always jumped up and paid attention when he came onscreen. He'd say, "Good morning. Well, it's not a good morning, but it's not a bad morning either. Very existential!

Who could forget that great opening theme song. I was 11 when Green Acres premiered, and our family always tuned in. Dad loved it because of the hilarious absurdity. Each actor developed their characters to comedic perfection. We boomers were lucky to grow up with some of the best tv programming.

[@Lisa-di1wi]

Although I still 7, and I had just started third grade when Green Acres first debuted on CBS back in September of '65, I didn't become a Green Acres fan until the Molly Turgis episode just seven months later. (I didn't turn 8 until October 2.) I probably could have been the youngest Green Acres fan in the entire country at that time as well. I am now 65, and I'm still a Green Acres fan today here 2022; going into 2023.

Eddie Albert was also a war hero in WWII in the Pacific. He steered his landing craft to a position where it shielded a group of stranded and injured Marines from Japanese gunfire , saving their lives.

[@billgrandone3552]

@Mark Twain Yes Mark and people think John Wayne was a "hero" . Guys like Eddie, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Ted Williams, Glenn Miller, and other celebrities and athletes that served in harm's way were the real heroes.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@billgrandone3552 John Wayne wore military costumes so often that people still think he served. He didn't, successfully dodging service with deferments on the grounds that his children needed his support. So... only men with no children should serve? Frank Sinatra's excuse was his punctured ear drum, but years later his wife said Frank could listen to a 60-piece orchestra and hear which instrument hit a bum note. Also, he failed a psych evaluation; he had a phobia about crowds.

I love Green Acres. The writing and characters are perfection. Every bit part was perfection too. ❤️

[@gleng399]

"Green Acres" was the best stupid show ever made (I say this with love). The closest anybody came to recreating it was "Newhart" (another show I loved). They both had almost the same premise. One, almost normal main character living in a town full of people living on the edge of reality. Another show that came close was "Northern Exposure". In the world we live in today, I would love to see more shows like these. I guess the closest we can come to it today is the "News". The only thing missing is finding a seemingly "Normal" main character.

[@hankjones2975]

Newhart was an awesome show. His wife was beautiful and intelligent. Lisa was an idiot but played the role well. Michael Harris was an entitled whiney crybaby where Eb was not near as useless. He knew Mr. Douglas was clueless about farming but just let him do it his own way. Both great shows.

Eddie Albert was awarded a Bronze Star with a V for Valor as a United States Coast Guardsman for he brave and heroic actions at the Battle of Tarawa in the Pacific. The attack occurred on the same day as Pearl Harbour technically but was reported as happening as the day after because of the International Date Line. He used his landing craft to rescue some 44 soldiers while taking direct and heavy fire from the enemy. He was a true hero.

A couple years ago, I was at my favorite pawn shop buying fishing gear, when the salesman said, "Are you the guy that sounds like Mr. Haney, from Green Acres?" I answered him like Mr. Haney, and the store owner busted out laughing. I continued to talk like Mr. Haney, and the store owner had tears in his eyes from laughing so hard. I was also so happy to make someone's day so joyful.

I was impressed with Autry’s powder blue (his trademark color) Rolls Royce matching his western suit, cowboy hat, and boots … I was also impressed running into Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross in the entry to the rest rooms … but it was always Pat Buttrum and that voice that I will remember!

GREEN ACRES IS MY SHOW! I am 63 years old (I'll be 64 in October), and I am 55-year fan of both the show and Eva Gabor. Back in October of 2015, I went to see the graves of both Eva Gabor, Merv Griffin, and Eddie Albert at Westwood Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles. It was the highlight of my visit there. I wanted to pay my respect to these three wonderful people who were a part of my life. (Eva also went out with Merv Griffin, and she was on his talk show a lot as well.) I also went to weekend Mass at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, the church of the stars, where both Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor, Merv Griffin, and Frank Sinatra's funerals were at. I also saw her house as well. And my brother even took pictures of me right there in front of the house. We do need shows like Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, and The Beverly Hillbillies on TV today. Today's TV shows are nothing but pure trash! Unfunny and sex-saturated sitcoms. Extremely violent police shows. And except for The Amazing Race, these dumb and stupid reality shows. The reason I say The Amazing Race is because these teams are racing through other countries. And their clues are to perform a native dance or a local custom, plus cook a local or national specialty dish. Even though it may be stupid to the team members, they are actually learning about each country's native cultures and local customs. And it's the only prime time show that I watch. TV today doesn't even cater to all ages. It only caters to the younger people; specifically to teenagers and the 18-49 crowd. Us Baby Boomers feel left out. We just need to see some more decent shows on TV today.
