Re: [MBZ] OT: Blair Brown is Not Raymond Burr
I rest my case. I firmly believe that for its time frame that Green Acres was one of the best shows on TV. Simple but solid humor, predictable but out there as well, with a cast that really clicked with their roles to the point where it was so stupid it was almost believable. I don't think they even jumped the shark like many series do towards the end of their run. Maybe I'm a simpleton when it comes to this stuff, but I can watch just about any episode and still find it entertaining today. Dan Velcome to Hootasville, dahling!

As the rickety vehicle suffers numerous breakdowns, the apple prices begin to drop. Finally, Lisa's hotscakes come to the rescue. His beater truck blows a head gasket. They walk to a local diner where Oliver uses the phone to call a garage to effect repairs. Meanwhile, Lisa shows the cook how to make hotscakes by pouring batter into a rectangular pan, then using the lid of a pot to cut out the hotscakes. When she lifts off the excess (cooked) batter, it's in the form of a head gasket. Oliver sees it while he's on the phone to the garage and has an epiphany.

No. It's where Mr. Douglas is going to get everyone to pitch in to get their apples to market early so they can get the best price. Oliver will make considerably more on his apple crop if he gets it to market first. He hires local high schoolers to pick the fruit and uses their old truck to haul them. As the rickety vehicle suffers numerous breakdowns, the apple prices begin to drop. Finally, Lisa's hotscakes come to the rescue. His beater truck blows a head gasket. They walk to a local diner where Oliver uses the phone to call a garage to effect repairs. Meanwhile, Lisa shows the cook how to make hotscakes by pouring batter into a rectangular pan, then using the lid of a pot to cut out the hotscakes. When she lifts off the excess (cooked) batter, it's in the form of a head gasket. Oliver sees it while he's on the phone to the garage and has an epiphany. Next thing you see is them driving the old trick down the road, with the hotscakes head gasket on the truck. Fin. Sent from my iPad On Sep 12, 2013, at 7:37 PM, M.

it's very well structured. it reflects what happens to a lot of people who are city folk who leave for country life only to discover that the idyllic country they imagined is simply and literally an urban legend. i'd rate it much more highly than the more popular gilligan's island, probably more up there with i dream of jeannie (which i likely overrate as i find the character of dr bellows so compelling) On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 1:17 PM, Dan Penoff d...@penoff.com wrote: Exactly my point.

As the rickety vehicle suffers numerous breakdowns, the apple prices begin to drop. Finally, Lisa's hotscakes come to the rescue. His beater truck blows a head gasket. They walk to a local diner where Oliver uses the phone to call a garage to effect repairs. Meanwhile, Lisa shows the cook how to make hotscakes by pouring batter into a rectangular pan, then using the lid of a pot to cut out the hotscakes. When she lifts off the excess (cooked) batter, it's in the form of a head gasket. Oliver sees it while he's on the phone to the garage and has an epiphany. Next thing you see is them driving the old trick down the road, with the hotscakes head gasket on the truck. Fin. Yup. That's what I remember.
