Green Acres

I anyone a fan of the 1960's television show "Green Acres"?

 

I had never heard of this show until about two weeks ago when my father decided that he wanted to order the DVDs (luckly we have a multi region DVD player!). Personally I wasn't expecting much but after watching two or three I was hooked, it uses the same sort of light comedy that can be seen in shows of the time such as Bewitched except the basic plot revolves around a lawyer who decides that he has had enough of urban life and becomes a farmer on a broken down farm.

I love Green Acres!! I haven't seen it in years though. I used to watch it as a kid all the time. Now I'm gonna be singing that theme song all night. :lol:

Funny show..I always enjoyed it..Haven't seen it in a long time..

Great, I'm glad that others have seen this, especially as I thought it was some obscure series. Perhaps it is one of those shows that is repeated more in the US.

 

Now I'm gonna be singing that theme song all night.

 

*Sings* "Green Acres is the place to be, farm live'n is the life for me..."

Nick at Night plays it all the time here. It used to be on every night. I'm not sure about now.

No, it' not obscure at all. It was a popular sit-com here in the US. There were at least a couple of times that they would cross over with "The Beverly Hillbillies" too.

In Britain we seem to get a lot more Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. I think the last time GA was shown over here must have been the late 60's/early 70's. Shame because I think it is better than the aforementioned shows.
