Show your age!!: Does anyone remember "Green Acres"

    The sixty's comedy series was a big hit with children and adults alike. My favourite characters were Mr Haney, Hank Kimble and Sam Drucker. "Arnold" the pig was also a big hit. I checked the web-site and found that most of the actors lived to a very ripe old age. Even the signature tune was great ! They dont make comedy like that anymore. RTE should do a re-run.

    "Green acres is the place to be ..." I'm only 28 and I remember this. It's not that old (Well, by RTE's standards anyway).

    Watched it on RTE about 20 summers back. I did'nt know it from Adam when it began but it became required viewing.

    Za za Gabore was it in as the main character's high maintenance wife.

    Actually it was her sister, Eva.

    Favorite back then. A little silly comedy never hurt none. ;)



    Also like the crossover show Petticoat Junction.

    Only a nipper at the time, opening tune remains in my mind.
