03/19/2008 | I must have missed the era when Green Acres was a hot topic on this site. I fondly recall watching it as a kid. It was the classic 60's family viewing experience. With one TV and only 3 channels to choose from it was important for a family to come to a consensus as to what to watch. Programming had to be aimed at broad appeal to recognize this fact. And believe me, the humour on the show was broad. The characters were all steroetypes of rural rubes and big city stuffed shirts. But what elevated the whole affair was the pitch perfect performances of the excellent character actors. I loved the way the Battle Hymn of the Republic would play in the background as Oliver would launch into a speech about the nobility of the American farmer and the experience of working the land. Every bit as funny as the Beverly Hillbillies if you ask me.

12/20/2006 | Doddering, constipated, old-fart television which now only serves as part of a media curriculum in a college class to show the meager history of television. . .

12/19/2006 | I swear by Thor's Holy Trousers or by the Great Spirit Dingo that I'll unloose a herd of grunting talking pigs on anyone who speaks against GA!

04/04/2004 | A stupid show? Hardly!!! The writing was snappy, clever, and hysterically funny. Best of all, the show NEVER stooped low to get cheap laughs as today's shows do with their endless (and unimaginative) sexual puns and bathroom humor.
Yup, Green Acres was a show about stupid people that was written by smart writers and produced by witty producers. Almost every sentence in each episode is a true comic gem. You can't say that about anything that's on TV today. So, here's to Green Acres! It showed that wit and imagination once ruled the airwaves. And, for that, we should all be grateful to have it around in reruns as it shows us time and again that good humor can be done with good taste.

03/05/2004 | It was a stupid show from an era of television history that was nothing but stupid shows. I met a dude once who was convinced that Green Acres was nazi propaganda, which sounded almost sane at the time compared with most of the other things he believed. For example, he also thought that government agents were contacting him through messages on peoples' shirts. It's some kind of propaganda, I suspect, but the nazis had nothing to do with it, no matter how much it seems like something they would do.

02/29/2004 | Neither better nor worse than most of the lame stuff from that era, I think. Over-the-top fun but mind-numbingly stupid as well.

02/27/2004 | Though I admire Arnold the Pig, I don't think that Green Acres is the comic masterpiece it has been portrayed to be. It's nowhere near as hilarious as the laugh-a-minute Beverly Hillbillies. Now that's a funny show.

02/27/2004 | The way some reviewers go on, this tawdry sixties sitcom rivals King Lear or Night of the Iguana as one of the greatest pieces of staged entertainment ever created. Say otherwise and they'll throw Arnold the Pig at you.
