Green Acres is a total scam. 120 euros for three months of advertising, I contacted the site for a technical problem and I had a person (three times, for the same problem) who told me each time: "I'm going to refer to technical service”, and of course nothing was done. In addition, with Green Acres I have been contacted three times by scammers.

Our review: Parents say ( 1 ): Kids say ( 5 ): Green Acres is full of slapstick humor and oddly surreal elements -- like the fact that the Douglases have to climb the telephone pole in front of their house to use the phone, or the fact that they treat the neighbors' pet pig like a human child.

Green Acres was an integral part of CBS network's rural lineup that included Andy Griffith, Gomer Pyle, Petticoat Junction and the Beverly Hillbillies.

The sitcoms of the 1960s weren't afraid to push things in absurd directions, and "The Birthday Gift" was one of the show's strangest episodes. On Lisa's birthday, Oliver gifts her a brand new horse.

Hooterville was usually immune to the darker aspects of the outside world, but "I Didn't Raise My Pig to Be a Soldier" reminded viewers about current events.
