Green Acres (Season 2) DVD Review

 

A spin-off of the CBS program Petticoat Junction (1963), Green Acres surpassed its predecessor in audience popularity - spending four of its six seasons as a Top 20 Nielsen-rated program. Its family-friendly humor puts Green Acres in the same nostalgic category as shows like The Andy Griffith Show, back when TV sitcoms were all about humor and not as serious as they would later become with the introduction of 1970s stalwarts MASH and All In The Family. The brainchild of creator Jay Sommers, writer for shows such as The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet and Petticoat Junction (where Green Acres characters Sam, Doris, Fred, and Arnold make their first appearances), Green Acres' unique brand of comedy lives on through a successful and ongoing syndication run, and its catchy theme song even captured the pop culture for a second time when Old Navy incorporated it into one of their trademark clothing commercials

The Green Acres (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Wings Over Hooterville" in which Lisa recounts the story of her first meeting with Oliver to the people of Hooterville. She tells them it was during World War II, and Oliver's plane got shot down. With his parachute stuck in a tree, Lisa came to his rescue. Fast forward to the present day when the crops of Hooterville are suffering from the ill effects of the infamous "bing bug". The crops need to be dusted, and the town appoints Oliver to carry out the task. Unfortunately, Oliver hasn't flown a plane in years, and Eustace Haney's cheap bucket of bolts is the last thing Oliver wants to fly Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "The Good Old Days" in which Lisa longs for the good old days of her Park Avenue penthouse with its many luxuries and extravagant view, and "An Old-Fashioned Christmas" in which Oliver learns that he must first secure a permit before chopping down a Christmas tree on his own property!
