Author Topic: Green Acres hits DVD Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2004 10:51 PM                        I know there are a few Green Acres fans on FT. The complete first season of the show comes out on DVD Tuesday the 13th. 32 episodes on 2 disks. Golly, Mr. Douglas!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2004 11:59 PM                     I've got to wonder if these DVD's come with a sampling of Lisa Douglas's hotscakes.....? After 32 episodes Ralf and Alph must have since gone to work building cinemas for Carmike!

Wow, what a dumb series, but you know it was so dumb that it was actually funny for it's time. You have to wonder what some of those actors were thinking at the time?  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 01-13-2004 07:43 AM                     There was alot of dumb TV in the 1960's. Green Acres was one of the best. Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Green Acres shared episodes. Arnold the pig was great. His mother, Doris Ziffel, was a Goldwyn Girl in her heyday!  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Don't forget the a-choo?  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-13-2004 09:20 AM                     Out of the three Paul Henning series I think Green Acres was my favorite show. Of course the Bevery Hillbillies was great, too. I loved Donna Douglas. I'd like to see the black & white episodes of Petticoat Junction released to DVD. I met Lori Saunders (Bobby Jo in the color eps) back in 1971 and she was a very nice regular person.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-13-2004 09:23 AM                     I watched the first 5 shows on Friday, They looked good. I got the Green Acres and the best of Mr. Ed discs on last Thursday.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-18-2004 03:15 PM                        I picked those up too (Green Acres and Mr. Ed). I used to love to watch Mr. Ed back in the laste 80s and early 90s. After then, it seemed to disappear from the air. Nickelodeon used to show them. Of course, there are so many channels now. I love the first episode of Mr. Ed. "Wilbur, how are you going to convince anyone that the voice on that tape is a horse?"

Like Hooterville in "Petticoat Junction" seemed quaint and folksy, but through Oliver Douglas' eyes, there wasn't even a semblance of home-spun logic. Has anyone ever seen "Newhart" as sort of a remake, with the city guy transplanted into a small town populated by eccentrics who all march to their own, very different drummer? I always thought that "The Fugitive" should be remade with Hank Kimball in place of Dr. Richard Kimball.

I might have to buy this DVD boxed set...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2004 07:48 PM                     "I always thought that "The Fugitive" should be remade with Hank Kimball in place of Dr. Richard Kimball." _________________________________________________________________ Lets see now are they after me or not...heck, I'm not even sure what the heck I'm after. In fact I'm not sure that I'm even Hank Kimball..... lets see...I think I am.... but then again....... Thats a good one for the Cohen Bros to consider.....that could be very surreal indeed .

That is truly a waste of a DVD. It smelled of rotting garbage then and I can't imagine it getting any better with digital enhancements.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2004 11:56 PM                     " It smelled of rotting garbage then " _________________________________________________________________ Thats cause Mr. Haney forgot to dee-liver Mrs. Douglas's dee-luxe garbage disposal unit.

Well, not exactly a bad attitude...but not good either. No, your attitude is...well, it's not exactly good, but...what were we discussing?Well, whatever it was, I'm glad we were able to straighten it out. Whatever it was.  |  IP: Logged
