I used to catch a few episodes of this show on Nick-At-Nite. Though it was clearly a golden-oldie show (so old my mom wondered why I was watching such dated sitcoms), I still thought the show was quite funny. I got several laughs out of it and it was a good source of entertainment on a slow night.
The episodes were quite whimsical but the comedy was tastefully done. Just New York City attorney Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert) trying to make his wife Lisa (Eva Gabor) forgo the city life to attempt to live as happy farmers in the boondocks was hilarious, and serves as a story-line for many funny misadventures. And of course, the catchy theme song in the opening scene and Lisa's constant "Oliver!" call will resonate in your mind long after you hear them.
Grade B
