Things we learned from Green Acres - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Arnold the pig is the smartest character on the show.

Never trust Mr. Haney.

Never hire Alf & Ralph to fix up your house.

Eb will never be invited to join Mensa.

Lisa will never be invited to join Mensa.

Wearing fancy evening gowns around a farm is not practical.

In Hooterville, words will appear in whichever room you're in - literally!!

Never eat Lisa's cooking - especially the hotscakes!!

Whenever you wax philosophical or political, music may start playing behind you!

Before purchasing a home, make sure that it has electrical, water, and phone service.

The hot spot in Hooterville is Drucker's Store

Ag-Agents are very forgetful

Hired hands live in barns & are always wanting a raise

catlover79 · 04-03-2008, 06:07 PM

Never buy an old farm sight unseen!!

AB · 04-03-2008, 06:49 PM

Animals really do watch TV (Arnold)

Closet doors can be tricky to open & close

Before marrying your wife, make sure she can cook, even if "the rest of you makes up for it"

You forgot the most important one: it's the place to be!

The second you reach the top of the pole, the phone will stop ringing.

Don't volunteer as pickle-barrel watcher.

Lisa is no Julia Childs (lol)

IMHO, send Arnold to MENSA!

Don't trust your electric meter, especially if it runs without being hooked up.

-Lonely, childless farm couples get really close to their pigs! (Get your minds outta the gutter)
-Never buy a farm from a salesman who carries his entire inventory on a broken-down, antique truck
-Lawyers make lousy farmers
-Make sure the local phone service reaches your farm HOUSE, before buying the place
-HOOTERVILLE meant something completely different in the 60s, than it does now

While hotcakes may not be the best things to eat, they have a myriad of practical uses, from propping up tables to forming automotive head gaskets.

Never Let your electrical appliances exceed 11!
