Interesting but short lived re-imagination of the "Green Acres" formula, only this time with Tom Lester (who played Eb on "Green Acres") in the Mr. Douglas part and Charo in the wacky, zany foreign wife part. If this show had been done five or six years earlier, it might have been given a longer run. But by this time, CBS and the other networks had dumped the zany belly laugh kind of comedies like "Beverly Hillbillies", "Green Acres", "Red Skelton" and other popular shows in favor of more urban and edgy fare along the lines of "All in the Family" and "Maude". While funny, this show did not fit in with those type of comedies and it was too unsophisticated to fit in with the MTM type of shows like "Mary Tyler Moore" or "Bob Newhart" and quickly disappeared.
