Videos like this is why I don't watch KZfaq much. Your title says why Eddie Albert says the show was cancelled, but you go off the map talking about everything else but that topic. I stopped the video in the middle and gave you a well-deserved thumbs down.

No kidding! I liked the passenger airplane with no windows myself and the painter who borrowed its boarding ladder. Remember the first episode ....when Lisa was actually a smart ass? That quickly changed the following and remaining espisodes. Wonder why they never figured out how to run a phone line inside?

Makes me laugh just reading your review.

Don't forget that charming Hungarian woman!

Square eggs? That's impossible! Oh, someone's playing a joke!

A lot of people don't know this, but Eddie was an environmentalist before it was trendy. He started Earth Day, which is held every year on his Birthday April 22nd.

@@lewis9702 if that's true, then it's a shame that the Wikipedia article (for Earth Day) doesn't even mention his name, much less having founded it.

That's interesting you would say he wasn't a public speaker; we all saw him giving long speeches at Drucker's store to the locals. But when he was finished they had all left. Maybe you are right.

And he said hit actions at Tarawa was what he was most proud of in his whole life. GREAT GUY! AND the laughter he provided was also priceless...

living to 99 pretty awesome

I sure did - watched it ! Loved it Eddie was the greatest ! And the cast was AWSOME too

@chris younts Yes at Tarawa. He (and the craft under his command) turned back into heavy fire to pull out the pinned-down marines (who didn't stand a chance otherwise) while simultaneously firing on the Japanese positions...

Oliver Wendell Douglas may be his most famous & iconic role, however I most remember him as corrupt Warden Hazen opposite Burt Reynold's former NFL QB & convicted felon Paul Crewe in the "Longest Yard".

Probably Peter, the meter reader.

The stupid & ridiculous law of course of 1967 I believe.

I watched this TV show a few times in 1965 when I was 14 years old .. It was a dumb stupid show .. The pig was the only reason I watched the show the few times I did watch it ..

@@FreedomFighter-cr5xg That was the idea for it to be dumb.

I loved it, stll do. I bought the complete series on DVD.

I thought that performance on D-Day was also great. A very prolific actor.

Could also play a real jerk when needed.

I've got to give the nod to the Hillbillies. Kimball's shtick got old fast and Eb was insufferable 80% of the time. Green Acres would win best in show in a NY minute if they'd have limited Kimball to every 2 to 3 episode and limit Eb to craft services.

I'm glad you posted that. A true Naval hero. My dad is 91 Korean War Vet USN stationed on the USS TARAWA

His kid was a schweinehund.

Ah, but Arnold wasn't able to communicate with Lisa's visiting duck Lazlo. While Oliver scoffed at the idea of different species understanding each other, Lisa got to the heart of the real problem -'Of course not! Arnold speaks English while Lazlo speaks Hungarian!' (because she knew that animals oink,quack,neigh,moo,bark,etc. in their respective own individual home nation's language)!LOL

My youngest brother proudly chose Arnold Ziffel as his CB handle. We still call him Zif.

@@edwardcairejr.3599 breaker breaker this is Arnold Ziifle. I love it. Nothing better than cruising the interstate in a big rig talking on the CB radio with Zif. God I miss the 20th century.

I liked Mr. Haney, Ralph and Ralph and Ebb.

You have to admit, Lisa started getting more annoying in the last few seasons

CBS went downhill fast due to Norman Lear "social commentary" shows.

@@michaelcap9550 I loved Green Acres and watch whenever I can, but CBS had one of the great comedy lineups in the early-mid 70s: The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, MASH and All in the Family all were brilliantly written and acted.

Joel Chavez: So true! Albert and that cast worked like clockwork. The funny thing is that so many people take the show at face value (a talking pig?) and think it is stupid without understanding the clever wit in each script.

That show probably started an interest among baby boomers that eventually lead to the Hippy back-to-nature, back-to-the country movement that emerged after 1967.

cancelled because it was stupid.

@@diddymuck Well that's your opinion -_-

What passes for comedy today is crap.

I agree Eva was drop dead gorgeous. She should of won Emmy's every year.

I also liked him on The Outer Limits, as He pretty much played the same character as on Green...

Not just one of the best tv shows at that time. One of the best, if not the best, tv shows of all time.

Like Hugh Beaumont "Ward" of Leave it to Beaver... Eb was also an ordained minister, a Baptist I believe.

@@Rev22-21 Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.

I want to buy Green Acres on DVD too, Amy! Which source did you get yours from?

That misuse of stock footage is very common in a lot of these videos, an Indian newspaper delivery boy indeed.

There seems to be a lot of clickbait in the titles on this channel. I'm not sure why it has so many subscribers, but it's possible that most are not from America.

Kept waiting for an interview clip of Eddie but it never came

I had swore off this channel after the last two bullshit episodes. But I KNOW why Green Acres was cancelled, and thought "let's see how long before the first wrong fact occurs". I didn't have to wait long. 0:43 "Petticoat Junction was a spinoff from The Beverly Hillbillies" WRONG! (although in later seasons since these shows had the same producers, they made them unto their own universe.) This clickbaity channel blows.

signforu I agree with you totally. 🙏

>I'm an intellectual Stopped reading.

I agree. Look at the junk CBS has put out in 2000's and 10s: 2 and a Half Men, 2 Broke Girls, How I met Your Mother? Uggghk!

Ye's?

Striking similarities now that you mention it.

ABC also cancelled Lawrence Welk's program at this time.

Yep Silverman. @ 2:38 he says Fred Sullivan

@@epen1898 Should be Fred Silverman, LOL.

@chris younts I don't think it was money related.

Then it would be the city

We lived in Ocie, Mo. P0pulation 17. 36 miles to nearest stop light and only 3 stop signs between us and it. You have to love your family to live out like that or you'll go nuts. We were very happy. Neighbors always could be depended on cause official help was nonexistant.

@chris younts They're idiots, lol.

It was a matter of ad revenues just like today. The rural series skewed to an older democraphic and networks want to hook younger free spenders. They can charge more for adds to younger viewers than older ones. Lots of popular shows are cancelled for that reason. "Married with Children" comes to mind.

@@rogersmith7396 That sounds realistic but after looking further into it, a lot of these shows were making plenty of money. The networks just cut them out and put new, "progressive" shows that were not always family oriented. Some touched on social issues and others went into areas that ended up removing what most people thought were "normal". There has been talk that this was all done on purpose to change America and what Americans felt was acceptable, while beginning the slow upheaval of American values and morals. In the 50's we had shows about wholesome, all American, patriotic and clean living life. In the 60's and 70's we saw shows about abortion, racial issues, some anti patriotic discussions, etc.. Some of it may have beed good but it led to today, a time when many American are anti American. It has led to a lot of self loathing and people putting foreigners above Americans. I'd rather have the older shows back, even though I did enjoy many of the newer shows of the 60's and 70's. The networks just took it too far and sometimes it really does seem like there was a political goal behind the changes..

@@notsosilentmajority1 Look at history. You are talking about Nixons silent majority. Meanwhile blacks were revolting and America was on fire. Viet Nam totally spit younger people from the WWII generation. Rock and roll went mainstream and younger people had money to spend. Watergate demonstrated the corruption of an already unpopular political establishment. Drug use was rampant. Sex was more open. Unions were powerful, the Mafia seemed unstopable. The depression era generation had been beat down into conformity and the youngers were rebelling against it. Officers in Nam were being fragged by their own troops. Lt. Calley blew open the myth of American exceptionalism at Mi Lai. TV brought burning children into everyones home. Economic growth was moving away from the WWII generation and toward youngers. The rural shows were fading out. I do not submit that what replaced them were any better. I will say jobs were moved overseas not because they did'nt make employers plenty of money but because employers and Wall Street wanted MORE money. Prohibitions against traitorism against the US fell and these greedy employers were free to outsource. No one at the time thought this would damage the country. The 1973 oil crisis blew apart the myth of American independence and showed people how vulnerable they and this country were to big lying corporations. Things were never the same. If anything politics today is about bringing back older stability and prestige and defeating the self serving interests of those who have caused our decline. Yes people are very much against the current status quo both left and right. And they come in all age groups.

@@rogersmith7396 So, your history is fairly accurate, I lived it as well. But, what does all of that have to do with networks taking off successful tv shows to put on shows that were no longer based on baseball, hot dogs and apple pie? The topic was about country styled, all American, patriotic programs being removed, even while some were very successful. We know the state of the country at the time but what/WHO was able to make the major networks do a rapid about face? It was obviously done to push progressive ideas and culture and started turning America into a different America, one that began the decay that we are seeing today.

Did Gale Gordon play on Petticoat Junction?

@@eloiseockert6561 no only Bea Benaderet. Sorry if that was confusing.

@@eloiseockert6561 Gale played Lucy's boss on her 60s show.

Fred Silverman cancelled many popular TV shows.

CatMan Green Acres used the classic comedy formula of having a sane central character surrounded by a universe of goofy characters. Seinfeld used the same formula. My wife and I love the show and watch it every day. Thank goodness for reruns, since there’s nothing worth watching on TV now.

YES!! And Alf and Ralph Monroe! Sooo great!

My favorite person also.

@chris younts ... and yet Eddie Albert starred in 'The Love Nest', one of TV's first teleplays done live on TV on November 6, 1936, for RCA in association with NBC, in New York City. NYC was an early epicenter of television, with regularly scheduled programing as early as 1931.

@chris yountsTV has a fascinating history ... here's one for you : Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik applied for a patent for a color television system in 1897 ! Although researchers say his system could not have worked the way he claimed, the very idea for it's time is surprisingly advanced.

@chris younts Sadly, very little exists from television's early days that we can still see today. I've seen some mechanical TV, but usually it's still photos or re-creations. There are some disc records that actually have been found to contain early broadcasts (British Phonovision discs, by John Baird, late 20's and early 30's), they are very brief and silent.

Hank Kimball was the so funny, I really enjoyed his role in Green Acres!

Alvy Moore was a Marine who fought on Iwo Jima.

I loved the episode where he played a motorcycle cop. Lisa said "he talks like Mr. Kimball" and Alvy says, "Hank Kimball? Oh he's like a BROTHER to me....well not a brother...more like a cousin. No...not a cousin....." or words to that affect. I think he then asked Oliver why he stopped him...

@@georgemartin1436 LOL

Gotta agree. How he managed his lines was a testament to his true intelligence.

Mine too, Linda! All the characters, played by great actors, with snappy fun dialog, it was and IS my favorite. Everyone forgets about Alf and Ralph Monroe. They aded a lot to the episodes they were in, which were fewer than (say) Mr. Haney and Mr. Kimbell and get overlooked unfortunately--but we know and love them!

Beverly Hillbillies was funny but no where as funny as Green Acres. MANY more belly laughs on the show. Went from funny to stupid funny. After all these years still love the show. There will NEVER be another show like this one. Too bad.

thank you

The movie was called, Roman holiday.

@@harperstacey9604 yep that’s it! Thank you. Great movie

@Donald Holcomb yes he was ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

@Donald Holcomb Well I wouldn't say the best... ;)

I specifically bought one of the seasons on DVD to help me decompress from work so I could sleep at night. It worked.

Hey JK and Donald Holcomb, I was but a youngman when these Classics came out. True magic. Enjoyed Beverly Hillbillies and Pettycoat Junction. The Green Acres episode when they decided to open a door they never had and discovered a basement bigger than the house. A cave in issued trapping Eva and Oliver. And it was Arnold who saved the day. What happened to the True Writers of the day. Look up the episode if you've never seen it. We recently lost Donna Douglas in 2015, she was still as beautiful inside and out as the days she brought us Elly May. "Green Acres We Are There! " *Peace Out *

Arnold's conversation with Mister Haney's pet dog was a beauty. The writer of that scene must have been smoking something potent at the time.

You are right Peter, the moderator says WWII instead of WWI. If Albert was born in 1906 then he would have been in grade school during WWI.

Says he was born in 1906

@@joseclarkstonmichigan2573 Yes "Facts" Verse seldom gets their Facts right. Just ask Fred Sullivan, hmm must be Ed's brother '

You are right about Eva Gabor's beauty, I cannot think of a single woman today who can match her. Not even a Kardashian or Angelina.

Thanks for the correction. Very poor examples. May i ask are there any modern day beauties? How about Kate Hudson or Charlie Theron?

Eva Gabor was definitely one of the most beautiful and glamorous women in all of Hollywood. In fact, Mr. Blackwell named her as one of the Ten Best Dressed Women of 1969. It was featured in the April, 1970 issue of Photoplay Magazine. She was photographed wearing this very sexy print strapless gown, a choker necklace, tiny droop earrings, a satin stole just below her bare shoulders, and white gloves (even though it was a black and white picture). Her beautiful blonde hair was styled so perfectly neat and chic. And her smile was just as sexy as her strapless gown. It is one of my very favorite pictures of her.

I think of Lisa as a Hungarian version of Gracie Allen.

@chris younts Do you know why Melania had a problem with Miss Gabor? These are two different generations. I'm trying to be careful about what I imply about our commander in chief. But, my guess is it had something to do with him.

Or when the whole town believes something that's definitely not true. Like Mr. Douglas has a drinking problem, or that he beats his wife.

Granny, though, at times, left one in stitches laughing.

Facts Verse is quite often not particularly factual!

Fact verse doesn't get their fact straight much of the time. I've tried to help them on a few occasions but have gotten nothing but nastygrams in return. So I'm done.

I unsubscribed awhile back also, I need to completely stop watching them.

CBS did the purge because Norman Lear was coming in with his shows like All In The Family.

I do have to say the 6th season is probably my least favorite. It is still my all-time favorite show anyways tho

Agreed, and wholeheartedly....
