Green Acres

Green Acres is a television series that was originally broadcast from 1965 to 1971.

It was set in the same fictional universe as the rural television comedies Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies, featuring such picturesque towns as "Hooterville", "Pixley", and "Crabwell Corners".

The series featured Eddie Albert as Oliver Wendell Douglas, a New York attorney, and Eva Gabor as his Hungarian wife, Lisa Douglas, dragged unwillingly from the city life she adored to a bucolic life on a farm. The series was not without its surreal aspects, featuring a pig named Arnold Ziffel, who was an avid TV watcher, and who, despite being a pig, was the son of a human couple, Fred & Doris Ziffel. Anouther colorful country couple were Alf Monroe and his sister Ralph.

Other characters included handyman Eb Dawson, acquired by Oliver along with the farm, salesman Mr. Haney, and grocer Sam Drucker.
