Green Acres (1965–1971)

Green Acres Was the Place to Be ****
27 January 2008
Both the late Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor found their niche in this mid 1960s television classic.

Green Acres is the place to be.

Fun living, etc.

N.Y. is where I'd rather be.

I get allergic smelling hay.

Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

The chores...The stores

You are my wife...Goodbye city life.

Green Acres, etc.

This show theme song, abbreviated since I can't remember all the exact words, depicted the ongoing struggle between Oliver Wendell Holmes (Albert) and his wife, memorably played by Eva Gabor.

Fed up with urban life, Oliver moves the clothes-horse Eva to the country to embark on a new life filled with fresh air. The show depicted the weekly adventures of these two people attempting to adjust to rural life.

The basic theme here was that love conquers all. This marvelous show certainly did.
