Too much of everything

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

As a kid my sister and I were not allowed to watch Green Acres. My dad said it was too stupid to watch and this made it all the more attractive to us kids. At the time I did not understand the deep hidden comedy within the comedy. Now I am living in a small town in upstate NY very much like Hooterville. For instance when I went to the dump to get rid of some stuff the man there explained to me that "this is not a dump, it is a solid waste transfer station!"... and I needed a permit and had to pay for a sticker etc. This was the same guy who I met at several other town government offices..sort of like Mr. Haney. Our electric and phone service go out all time. I just love it!

I love this series!!! I think it is funny as heck. It is somewhat absurd because you have a New York lawyer running around doing farm work in a suit vest, tie, and slacks but that is also part of its rural charm. Also Ava Gabor is out there as the wife who is almost always in designer gowns, is extremely helpful to the local women and high school girls, loaning out her very expensive clothes at the least excuse. The support cast is great with Haney as the con artist and Sam Drucker as the everything official. It is just a great old time show that has with stood the changes in American TV. Too bad it was cancelled along with Petticoat Junction and the Beverly Hillbillies when some moronic CEO got in and decided they were no longer worth doing!!!

Green Acres is brilliant. It's Oliver Douglas's American dream turned surreal nightmare week after week. It's like Dali meets Bunuel meets American Gothic. The logic is completely twisted. But it is consistent. And Oliver is the only one not in on the joke. The writing is first class. Read some of Mr. Kimball's dialog written down some time. It is beyond belief. I recall several mind blowingly funny episodes. The one where they decide to have their own college bowl game. The Rudabaga (sp?) Bowl. Lisa gets in a hot air balloon, flies across the country tossing out rutabagas and exclaiming: "eat Hootersville rutabagas." The episode where Mr. Haney pulls up with a full-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower in the back of his truck. Oliver asks Eb where Haney gets this stuff. "I think his mom knits 'em" exclaims Ed. But my particular favorite is the one where Arnold gets drafted to go to Vietnam. He has a whole scene with a horse who has just returned from Nam. It is subtitled and the horse waxes harsh and poetic about his time in Vietnam. There are things in this series that go beyond the bounds of anything ever tried in American TV. Green Acres rocks!
