Editor's Note
Based upon a 1950s radio show called GRANBY'S GREEN ACRES, which featured Gale Gordon (HERE'S LUCY) and Bea Benadaret (PETTICOAT JUNCTION), this 1965 television situation comedy debuted as a spin-off of PETTICOAT JUNCTION (which in turn had spun off from THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES), with a different cast. New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert) uproots his glamorous city-loving wife Lisa (Eva Gabor) to move to a ramshackle farm near Hooterville, a breeding ground for lunatic country characters: con man Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram), dimwitted helper Eb (Tom Lester), storekeeper Sam Drucker (Frank Cady), idiot county agent Hank Kimball (Alvy Moore), and Fred Ziffel and his treasured pig named Arnold, among many others. Everything Douglas touches on his farm immediately falls to pieces, and the colorful denizens of Hooterville remain more of a hindrance than a help. This collection includes all the episodes from season three.

5 of 5 Eva Rules the Farm Monday, May 14, 2007
JD Warner from Wmsbg VA
This is my second review. The first one got lost in the Buy.Com maze.
Green Acres is a must have series for any "serious" student of TV comedy. There are fantastic sub-plots, "spoonerisns", good-hearted jabs at "idealized country living" and, best of all, the costumes that take advantage of Eva Gabor's classiness and the new color cameras. You don't need to get the first two seasons to understand some of the "running gags" but i highly recommend that you do. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Eva Tames the Farm Friday, May 11, 2007
Nhoj Renraw from Billsville, Va.
While millions of our supposedly educated children fritter their time away by watching Monty Python, this spin-off of a spin-off was idling away awaiting release on DVD. Faster than a tractor, Smarter than a county agent, more Beautiful than the Statue of Liberty and more Absurd than Mr. Ed, this is a must buy. It is worth it just to see how outrageously the costumers dress Eva. They obviously had alot of fun with the improved color TV cameras. Was this review helpful?
