I am enjoying Season 3 of Green Acres, over and over !!
In one of the episodes where Oliver takes over the telephone company, there is a scene where Lisa plugs and unplugs the lines from the switchboard, very quickly. They switch between shots of Lisa sitting at the board, pulling the wires in and out, to just showing the arms and hands at the board, pulling the wires in and out. I noticed that, in the arms and hands shots, they looked manly - almost like a linebacker !!! Upon further review, they also lacked the ring and bracelet worn by Lisa in the sitting shots. The lack of continuity surprises me a little - but what I wonder more is - why did they need to use another person just to pull the wires in and out ?? (...or have I been watching this over and over too much ??)

Maybe Miss Gabor didn't want to break a nail or take a chance on getting injured.
