Sorry in advance to those of our worldly board who have no idea what I'm talking about.

For some freakin' reason, I've been singing (whistling, humming...you name it) the theme song to this American classic (not an all-time fav of mine though)show all afternoon.

The question that comes to my mind is: How did these mis-fits ever meet? Does the storyline start that far back?

I've gotta unplug my computer so I can make a pot of coffee now.


Voices in my head....gotta go.

It's the place to be

I don't hear what you are talking about. But if it's Green Onions instead of Green Whatever then it is a subject worth to discuss it...

Here we go.....

Farm living is the life for me

Mr. Kimball was my favorite....as for Oliver Douglas (Eddie Albert's character) meeting Ava Gabor's character....I remember an episode when she was a cellist in some kind of all girl orchestra that had a show on the radio....at the end of one of their shows, she said, "This goes out to Oliver, wherever you are." Oliver then set out to find the source of this message and found Ava...Oliver had to fight off the leader of the orchestra (a man).

That's the best I can do, WMiller.

I still don't know what you are talking about -- but as a European I think I will be quiet now (as I only know Zsa Zsa Gabor...). But it was a German (with the French alias 'Jean Paul') who said: The only paradise you can't be expelled is your memory.

Hey JJHMick, you're not missing much, just a silly USA TV show from the 1960's. It still shows up on re-runs often.

Here's a link:

Hi Lukester, I was "socialized" and "democratized" by Lassie and Flipper (to bad for Bonanza but it was parallel to our saturday's sport programme).
You had cars where you could open the rear window without opening the rear door?! Incredible! And double back doors with that stuff to keep the flies out?! Incredible! At least, the second thing is of no real use in Germany but very impressive to a child...

You are cracking me up JJHMick....so you liked the double back doors with that stuff to keep the flies out? Are we talking about screen doors? It's amazing the things people can learn from Lassie. Are you poking fun at us JJHMick? Good form, my new German friend.

No fun, really!!! I was born in 1960 and watched that stuff. Despite global warming/heating up (or whatever it's called) there is still no need for double back doors in Germany (Thank Whomever) but maybe for cars to open the rear window only, so Lassie can jump in.

Arnold, turn on the TV set.

The same people that did the wonderfully surreal Green Acres also wrote the movie "Bedtime Story" with Marlon Brando, which was later re-made as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

For awhile in L.A. they were running Green Acres reruns at 2:30am. on Sunday morning. Someone was thinking that this weird world might appeal to Saturday night stoners.

You can find the theme song here. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to attach the specific link for the Green Acres song.

I only know it's an American TV show, and I only know that because of the line "I mean, he had to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm saying"? (Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction).

JumpingKentFlash

As I recall they met during war. He was a downed aviator and she was a refugee. The restI don't remember.

I don't recall that line. Arnold is a very bright pig for those of you who don't know.

In the diner where Jules is having breakfast with Vincent (End of the movie):
"We would have to be talking about one charming motherfu cking pig. I mean he had to be ten times more charming than....." etc.

Key scene in the movie.

JumpingKentFlash

....oh that is one of my favorite lines from Pulp Fiction.

I never watched green acres. I remember when I was really young there were re-runs another show like Green acres called Petti-Coat Junction.


in the 60s there were always pairs of the same show..

green acres, petti coat junction

I dream of jeanie, bewichced twilight zone, outer limits The Adams Family and the Munsters.....
