How does green acres end

His banter with Bob and Pamela during the episode makes it clear he would have been a regular part of the new show had it been picked up.

The second backdoor pilot from the end of Green Acres , and the final episode of the series, was for a show that was using working titles like Carol and The Blonde. Carol used to be Oliver's secretary in New York, which is how the plot gets started. Oliver sends her a letter asking about jeweler in Manhattan he forgot the name of. Lisa and Oliver are in even less of this episode than they were in "Hawaiian Honeymoon," appearing only in the beginning and a short scene in the middle where Oliver calls Carol.

Most of the episode concerns Carol and her job at Oglethorpe Realty. She arrives late, puts her lunch in the filing cabinet and rents the office next door to a young lawyer for far less than the asking price. Though these two pilots never amounted to anything, they will forever live on as one-time stories that hint at what could have been thanks to their connection to Green Acres. Welcome to MeTV!

Did you notice that Oliver had to climb the pole to talk to his secretary? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he get an indoor phone by the end of the first season?

According to the episode that ran on Friday Sept. Yep, that was first season! Therefore, the pole wasn't needed in season 6! ColRSG2 14 months ago. I was a big fan of Green Acres. I think CBS, and whatever young, stupid executives that were responsible for it's cancellation should receive a huge kick in the seat of their pants! I would volunteer my size 12EEE for the job! Probably the same idiots that cancelled Star Trek, and it's still going strong 50 years later in reruns.

Just goes to prove that no brain idiots are running the Networks! They wanted to gear toward a more mature audience. It won its time slot on a regular basis, yet CBS dumped it.

Powerhouses like Jackie Gleason and Red Skelton were out of work. So you can catch the Douglases, Arnold, Mr. However, the series quickly took on a decidedly absurdist tone; Lisa turned into a Gracie Allen -style Cloudcuckoolander , and Oliver became the Only Sane Man.

The insane townspeople continue to see Oliver as an outsider while rapidly embracing Lisa as one of their own. Oliver, clinging tenaciously to logic, splutters and despairs as he sees his dream life in Hooterville slipping rapidly out of his fingers. There's also Mr. Drucker Frank Cady down at the general store, who acknowledges the ridiculousness of Hooterville while at the same time whole-heartedly participating in it.

He's the only character who even approaches being logical by Oliver's standards co-serving as the other Only Sane Man , often leading Oliver to start sentences with "Mr.
