Green Acres off of TV Land - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TV Land has removed Green Acres from its lineup effective this past Wednesday. It's unknown if/when it will return since the contract to air it expires in August

Maybe WGN will acquire it if TV Land doesn't renew.

I hope some one starts airing it again. Green Acres is truly a great show. A heck of a lot better then what they show today. The writers for Green Acres, (I think it was mostly Dick Chevillet?) were a lot smarter than today's. They knew how to make the entire family laugh with out getting dirty. It was all just innocent fun. Today it seems like there can't be a show with out a gay and people randomly sleeping with each other. I would love it if WGN took Green Acres and aired either before WKRP or right after Newhart on Sundays. I think pretty soon WGN is going to be more popular than TVLand.

Well they still have it until August, so maybe they will air it before the contract expires. Of course though they can always renew it.

Why does TV Land do things like this? Brings a show back one week and a few weeks later pulls it off. Do you think seasons 4, 5, and 6 will ever be released?

I don't think MGM has any interest in releasing the rest of the show

Bummer.

Man, MGM should start releasing complete series. People can only get dissappointed if only half of the series is released. Besides, they would have better sales if they would release the entire series.
