Wow.  I never knew this existed before.  But I'm glad that it does.

I loved Green Acres. It was the funniest damn show on television, bar none. Eddie Albert was the ultimate straight man.

And I can still enjoy watching it.

It's like the Three Stooges in that I love it and my wife abhors it. So that just proves that it's great.

I was just a kid then, but it was my favorite show.  In hindsight, it was sort of proto-Monty Python in its absurdity.

One of the really funny contrivances was how a joke would come up in the beginning of an episode and keep coming back throughout the rest of the show with different characters referencing it . My favorite character was Hank Kimball , the constantly befuddled agriculture agent played by Alvie Moore .

It seemed like everything was better back then.  And I think that is more than just nostalgia talking!  The actors, writers the overall quality was better.  Very little in the way of entertainment entertains me today...where vulgarity and left-speak assault the thinking mind in unending waves of detritus.
