What a wonderful show. Mr Douglas had just as hard of a time, if not harder time accepting and adjusting to farm life as Mrs Douglas. She was absolutely perfect for the show.
Mr. Douglas never figured out that he was the strange one in Hooterville everyone else there was normal and Lisa fit right in perfectly with the towns people one of my favorite all-time TV shows
The fact he would farm in his suit for example. And they remark how he had one for everyday of the week. They even protested about it in one episode. When he finally gave in and wore overalls. They all decided they would all wear suits to farm because their wives loved them in them. LOL.
I always got a kick out of how Lisa, who hated the idea of moving to Hooterville so much, actually came to enjoy it. In fact, it got on her nerves a lot less than it got on Oliver's!
Now living in Europe and functioning more and more in a language other than English, I have new appreciation for Zsa Zsa Gabor and the character of Lisa.
The great mystery of Green Acres is how Oliver kept his weight on when nothing Lisa cooked was edible. There had to be some late night knocking on Mrs Ziffel’s back door for midnight snacks. I’m sure Arnold would have brought over a sandwich now and then except for his allergy to handling ham.
Oliver and Lisa had a happy marriage for the entire time Green Acres was on TV, even though Lisa did her best to poison him. I never could figure out why Oliver insisted in dressing in a suit with a vest, like he's going to a wedding, when he was working on a farm. :/
This was even addressed in an episode. The other farmers I recall didn't like the fact he was waiting a suit and tie...and wanted him to wear overalls.
2:51 She says "That hurt!", but without even a slight bit of an offended expression. Lisa, you think that's hurtful what Oliver said to you? I'll tell you what's hurtful. If he called you a mean name. If he called me a mean name, I'd run away in tears!
An old girlfriend of mine didn't know how to make cupcakes. She tried to put the paper around them after they were baked. She was afraid that the paper inside the oven would start a fire. But she was sure good at making spring music !

Oliver had the courage to face the Luftwaffe...but cupscakes...
Oliver definitely made the show! His short remarks were incredibly timed and made me laugh so hard.
What the...?
Rip Eva.. no one else could be so cute, charming, and sophisticated at the same time
The most legitimately talented of the sisters, as far as I'm concerned. No "famous for being famous" schtick for her.
Jay Sommers...
best TV writer of all of time.
The irony is, cake in a cup (or mug), is all the rage now!
And to think this was 1966.
The irony of this show is, lisa had a stand mixer on top of the refrigerator that probably never ever got used.
she always makes me laugh and smile
Is it just me or does the music/soundtrack get in your head? A guitar and kazoo? Outstanding!
This is one of my favorite shows ❤️
This show was so freaking funny!!!
Shneaking out....lmao
Lisa tried so hard for Olivah.
Now living in Europe and functioning more and more in a language other than English, I have new appreciation for Zsa Zsa Gabor and the character of Lisa.
Lisa was played by Zsa Zsa's sister Eva

I'm guessing Oliver and Eb raided the chicken coop, picked corn and beans from the farm, and slaughtered a hog or two on the sly.

@@jazzmanchgo What did Lisa eat?
@@BrianBattles I don't remember what she ate, but her cooking was notoriously bad.
@@jazzmanchgo That's my point. How did any of them survive?
One of my favorite sitcoms. This shit is hysterical.
Surprised Olivah didn't starve to death
Lol
Eddie Albert was handsome
Eva Gabor (1919-1995) even admitted to Marc Summers on Nick @ Nite that she herself couldn't cook 🧇. 😂 😎
So I wonder, did she have someone cook for her?
@@MsAussie83 I guess so. You & I would have to do some research on that. 😎
Aahleeever!

@@SashGirl34 I'm thinking Oliver Douglas was previously an attorney. Attorneys don't wear overalls in the courtroom. Old habits are hard to break. ;)

Will , she is trying . Does she eat her own cooking. ?
Cindy Rogers, well not will

lol that's funny 😁
Girdle? Lisa, it's a "griddle", you funny bone!
Lisa is hot!
I wonder where Oliver got his food? I can’t remember ever actually seeing him eat.
LOL 'voffles'
Eva, the hottest of all the Gabor sisters......
Lisa was a real woman but she was shneaky.
He should have told her point blank that her food isn't eatable.
He has. Had other women try to teach her too. It didn’t help. Should have hired a cook.
Written by and for stoners. 😁
Them and their damn shneaking out.
