Why It Crackles

Show Details

The show that proved even pigs could become famous.

- Is it just us, or is Oliver kind of a jerk? He arbitrarily moves to Hooterville without asking his wife, frequently acts all high-and-mighty, and thinks he’s more intelligent than the regular townsfolk. Yeah… He’s a jerk.

- Eva Gabor, the youngest of the Gabor socialite sisters, is best known for her role as Lisa Douglas, the long suffering wife of Oliver.

- Favorite Quote: “Nobody is going to paint my breast!” – Oliver Douglas (Eddie Albert)

- Petticoat Junction, another popular sixties sitcom, was a spinoff of Green Acres.

- The highlander of pop culture, Green Acres is still being referenced, showing up in multiple episodes of NewsRadio and even in a bit on the 2005 Emmy Awards.

No matter who wins, Hooterville will lose. Oliver & Lisa (Eva Gabor) endanger democracy by putting their petty marital squabbles ahead of their public when they both run for Mayor. Well, it could be worse. Eb could be running.
