I would be that the owners of the several houses around that intersection have no idea of their property's role in historic television.

@@k.r.baylor8825 You’re right, I’m sure they have no clue about the barn. But I do suspect maybe the current occupants of the house have been told about their house being shown on hundreds of millions of TV sets.

I had the honor to meet the actor that played Mr Haney in person meetings. He was a very sweet guy and loved telling stories. He had everyone laughing. This was in the mid 80's.

@@anitraduke2265 Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@EmilyTienne You're welcome. I have a picture of the cast that he signed but I'm having some trouble finding it. Hope to find it, somewhere.

It's on "ME TV" . I have a farm that's 139 years old and it has alot of memories. The farmhouse is still standing up .

Oh gosh I’m the same age. Me too. It just cracks me up 😂. Especially the character Hank Kimble.

I just turned 67, and still enjoy "Green Acres". Watching it was a part of my childhood in the 1960s. 😊

Especially when Mr Haney shows up and says Mr Douglas this is your lucky day. When Mr Haney shows up there was no such thing as a lucky day unless he drove up says hello and leave immediately.

I, too, was born under the 49 star flag.

I think I know how you feel but it's all done in the name of progress

@@UTA_xx5kx No dude. Progress is knowing when to leave well enough alone.

What was there before the ranch? And before that? Where do you live, work, shop, what roads do you drive on, etc, and what used to be there before it was "completely wiped out and gone"? And before that? What we perceive, remember, or otherwise become aware of is just the blink of an eye in time. It's no more significant than anybody or anything that came before just because we become aware of it.

I know exactly where this is… I ride my bike here and have a lot of businesses I visit there every week. My pharmacy, my doctor, my grocery store…

Its proably going to go the other way soon. The birthrate dropped to replacement in 2000 and less than after that so some areas should have too many houses in 20 years or so (hopefully they will not turn out like Detroit).

Thank you! I knew if I kept looking at old aerial photos I had to find it somewhere! I enjoy Westlake, it was my first time there. Cool city 👍🏻

Hey, Westlake Native!! You probably know that the Ambush scene from 1967.Bonnie and Clyde was filmed there as well!! Wasn't Little house On the Prairie filmed close to that area?

​​@@rt3593Little House was filmed on the Big Sky Movie Ranch in Simi Valley at the end of Tapo Cyn. MASH was filmed just south of Westlake/Agoura, near Malibu Lake. It's part of the national park now. One year a wildfire burned through the set and they worked it into the script.

@jimc9175 thanks for your answer! Seems to be a busy place for tv and movies. But lemme ask....how far was the LHOTP area....the land and terrain are all identical.

@@rt3593 know that would be interesting to know the answer to your comment. Little house on the Prairie another show I watched. I read all the Laura Engle's Books. I names my daughter after "Laura" Engle". Daughter name Laura !!! Name my son after Ryan ONiell ( aka paper moon ) Son name is "Ryan"

That’s so amazing! I bet being in a surreal comedy was good therapy for him after all that he experienced in the war?

@@StanleyFoss Eddie actually was in the heat of battle and put himself in even more harms way to save/rescue 4 or 5 fellow soldiers that were either wounded or stuck in no man's land

Eddie was a coxswain ferrying fuel and ammo at Tarawa on a landing craft, there were 60 marines under fire in neck deep water, Eddie risked his life going in and rescuing all of them, he was decorated for his actions, gives me even more respect for a man I already admired

Many of our favorite movie and TV actors of the 1950s through 1970s were unsung war heroes. 😎👍

@@user-po7ch2vc3nWho is Eddie?

Make that two of us @robertbraxton2168

How many folks remember the episode. When Oliver asked Liesa what was behind a door they had never noticed in the hallway? And they discovered their house had a full basement. Dug by Mr. Haneys father for his still operation they discovered down there. Then the staircase caved in. Trapped together, such a wonderful dialog of rediscovery of their love for one another thinking this was it, for most of the sequence. Eva Gabor, was so perfect for her roll in this. Their story of how they first meet each other during the war. And fell hopelessly in love. No one could find them. But it was Arnold, the Ziffels pig! That saved the day. Speaking clearly by acting out with charades in the general store alerting everyone and showing the way to a rescue. Lassie the pig! And poor Mr Kimball was still using a plunger in the kitchen sink drain trying to save them after hearing them talking from the drain pipe. Americana drama... At it's finest!! One of my favorite episodes. That house had a basement!! Hope I didn't spoil it for anyone. Green Acres we are there !!

@@snapcutter9596I remember it. Green Acres is the place to be.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing that.

Well of COURSE he "loved" being on the show.. he became a multi-millionaire many times over because of it LOL!!!

Eddie Albert setting an interview

Eddie Albert only did one interview about his war record so nobody knew what he did in the war he was a damn good man he was a funny show too thanks for looking at that that was very interesting

How did he feel about those classic Beltone hearing aid infomercials throughout the '80s?

Thank you! It was a lot of fun researching this one :)

As the program progressed, I think Oliver Douglas was the only sane person left in the community. Like when every farmer, hired hand & business person in Hooterville was obsessed with and crying about a TV soap opera called Tomorrow Will Be Brighter and Arnold The Pig was going Hollywood, complete with dark glasses to hide his identity from his mobs of fans.

Oh cool, you got to experience some of the old Conejo valley before all the expansion. Times change fast!

Great detective work. Mannix wood be proud. Might want to check the code dept of that era and see if any. Permits were pulled for demo and the laying of utilities water sewer. Etc plus when homes were built look early. 70s now go find mannixs detective agency..good job

So cool you got to meet Eb! Such a shame that the main cast are all gone now.

My brother and I used to perk up our ears and suddenly exclaim, "Ope! Here comes the fife and drums" And then wait a couple of seconds for them to kick in. Wow! That was 1985-86....Nick at Night...The Monkees, Dobie Gillis, Green Acres,... And on Saturday nights after all that @ 11pm it was "The Hot Seat" w/Wally George, (look it up 🤠)... ...went well with late night Taco Bell.

Oh that would be cool to visit.

Hello, I live in Bessemer. When I was in the Marines out in California I visited Holly Wood some. Wish now I would have took the time and visited more places. I have two children that where born out there. Me and My now ex wife moved back to Alabama in 93. I them became a police officer. I'm retired now.

Hayleyville AL? That's cool. My father was born there. Now I have a connection! Thanks.

I loved Green Acres as a kid, and Mr. Haney was my favorite character. Pat Buttram played him BRILLIANTLY! I've always tried to imitate his hilariously distinctive cracking voice, but I've never been able to do it.

I actually didn't realize that the actor who played Mr. Heany was from Alabama

Oh that’s so cool that you were friends with Eddie Albert! Yes, I’ve been meaning to check out Pixley. One of these days I’ll get over there 👍🏻

Wasn’t Pixley in Petticoat Junction?

@@davidlium9338 I think it was part of the sprawling Pixley-Hooterville-Bugtussle metroplex.

That's really interesting to know !!!

I had enter Eddie Albert’s home in PP and didn’t realize it was him. Hearing his voice from a distance I took a second look. I was there when his wife was ill.

That would be 1610 Bluebell Place, Westlake Village, CA 91362. It's a $3.049 million house, built in 1983, 4 bd, 4.5 ba, 5,252 sq ft. And a pool. It's a nice place, too, all found on Zillow and not currently for sale. If you're the lucky owner, a family trust member of the late Mr. Buccola, expect a flood of QSL-like cards coming your way, seeking verification of something completely out of the blue. But from all of this readers can deduce that the barn was probably torn down in the early 1980s when the land developer was prepping the land for subdivision construction.

I did the same research. I think yours only few yards off than mine. Good work!

@@k.r.baylor8825 I wonder how many people was”QSL” means? 73’s

HistoricAerials has a 1967 image of the barn location. The Green Acres words do not appear visible. It is a low resolution photo.

I just did the same thing - used Historic Aerials.

I get a little obsessed 😂

@@StanleyFoss And we thank you for your obsession.

I wish I could have seen all the open land and ranches back then!

I wish you could have too. It was an awesome place to grow up! On the bright side tho, you're still young :)@@StanleyFoss

It looks like such a pretty area. I must drive up there from LA next time I go there (from Vancouver Canada).

I am a native of Thousand Oaks born in 1956. I grew up in "Old Town" Thousand Oaks. My Dad and I worked for American Hawaiian Land Company. I have dozens of photos and 8mm movies from the early days. I knew Ed Lawrence. Now for the pearl... My Uncle was the Ranch Foreman and overseer of the Albertson Ranch. He is in the barn photos. I played in that barn and have 1966 color photos. My Uncle and Cousin were both real cowboys and that was my Uncles cattle all of which were used by Hollywood for all the westerns. The big Scottish Highlanders seen on Gunsmoke and Dirty Sally were my Uncles bulls. The little building seen to the right of the barn was actually a mobile home my Uncle lived in temporarily until they relocated to Red Bluff, CA. The Barn and Stable area was called Glenmore Stables. Owned by my Uncle and his second wife. His name was Jack Braden and his wife Sandy (still alive) expanded their business in Oregon. Much of that area burned down in 1970 in what was one of the worst brush fire seasons in modern history. We watched them film so many movies it would take me pages to write it all down. Elvis' movie "Roustabout" was filmed on the Alberston Ranch right down the lane from the ranch house that my Uncle Jack lived in on the south side of the ranch. You can see his house in that large Westlake Village overlook by Ed Lawrence. My family has an original 16x20 of that same photo that was given to my Dad in the early 70's. Thousand Oaks was magical in the 50's-60's. The rapid growth beginning in 1966 destroyed an otherwise country Shangri-la. My Great Grandpa would be shocked by how much the area changed since he arrived here in 1904.

Wow! This is fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing your history. It was such a great place to grow up. I remember playing on an old ranch with a barn which is now in the Oakbrook area. The 23 freeway took over it all. There were grain carts and tracks still there. @@realnikonlover6207

I met a few of the neighbors, they were really nice. I told them about the barn location, they thought it was interesting but didn’t seem as into it as I was haha

HI STAN ,,I GUESS THEY DONT WANT PEOPLE COMING OVER TO THERE LAND DAY AND NIGHT???@@StanleyFoss

@@ronaldmiller2740 Streets are public.

GA was a long time ago. People don’t know or appreciate history like they should. Pity.

I was a little kid in the sixties and green acres was one of my favorite programs, that and It's about time, does anybody else remember it's about time? The trilogy was, green acres petticoat junction and the Beverly Hillbillies which all centered around Hooterville, that pilot episode of the Beverly Hillbillies where Jed finds out that he has Texas tea on his land is great.

I’ll have to look for it on MeTV 👍🏻 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it

Oh interesting, I did find an article about the miniatures and that Max Thornton also painted the miniature homes but I wasn’t quite sure where they were used. Interesting insights. Thanks for the kind words!

@@StanleyFoss Thanks for your response! Not to send you on a wild goose chase but I hear that the train is still in existence. It would be interesting to see if Drucker’s store is still standing.

Thanks so much! Glad you found it enjoyable

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! … now I gotta find that other white house in the intro 😅

I shared it to Facebook and with my brother that lives in 1000 Oaks. He loved it too and subscribed to your channel! @@StanleyFoss

​@StanleyFoss That would be cool! There was also a 2-story white house that was in the opening credits too, I'm pretty sure. I remember it was in an episode when Oliver and Lisa were thinking of buying another place (early on before they renovated). Oh goodness, that made me think of the builders on that show - the brother and sister and she had a guy's name, Ralph, and she was sweet on Hank Kimball!

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻☺️

I was just watching Adam 12 the other day, lots of locations to re-examine in each episode!

@@StanleyFossI remember they used to film combat scenes for some 1960s combat TV show (maybe Combat? I forget now) just down the street from where I lived every couple of weeks. That was in an old abandoned winery in what used to be Cucamonga.

Just read that Gunsmoke got Gilligan's Island cancelled. GI only ran for 3 yrs.

That's one TV show my mom would watch every evening . Most of my family all love to watch western movies anything that's Old. I watch alot of everything . Green Acres is a TV show , I watch daily , even now , this generation , year 2024 . On "ME" TV and you can watch them on KZfaq. We watch really old western movies in the 1940's and 50's .

Yeah in 40 more years who knows what it will look like?? I miss the look of the open land also! Thanks for watching!

I live in an area that was all orange groves in the 1960s, and all single family homes by the 1980s. Now there is no land left for more single-family homes, but the City Council still wants more income, so they are putting up 4 and 6 story featureless "people storage" buildings with no parking, then turning all the surrounding roads into 1.5 lane wide paths with diagonal parking on both sides to make up for the lack of parking the developers would have had to pay for. They can get over 200 families in two acres now. With "local businesses" consisting of one smoke shop/weed parlor and a hair dressing place. But no place to buy food. What California is going to look like in 40 years is 400 square miles of the Chicago Projects.

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Thanks! It was a lot of fun research 👍🏻

Haha, that’s a great memory!

Cool!

Hi, thank you! Glad you discovered my channel. I’ve done videos on older shows and movies and some newer shows/movies. I should have a new video up soon, after I get around some copywriter issues lol. 😅

That generation really got involved! They put their life on the line.

Most actors today have no patriotism.

Thanks more videos on the way!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh that is so cool that your dad worked on some films! Yeah so much interesting history all over that area. Westlake was a great place to visit!

Do you have any Elvis stuff,justmejk?

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. Oh and thanks for sharing it and the sub!!

So true!!

Once the land of milk and honey now the land of fruit and nuts. How sad

@@chipcook6646 And Bigots.

@@chipcook6646😂😂😂

I love that picture also!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great info! Thanks for that. Also good to know that I don’t have to go back and look for those trees 👍🏻

Good to know, I’ll have to utilize those sites for future videos. 👍🏻

Thank you! Glad it all makes sense and was fun to watch!

True! Hotels, gas, food, but it was fun to do 😊

Thanks so much! Yeah, I love all this old Hollywood history and old pop culture relics. :)

Thank so much! It was fun to piece together :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great memories! So cool you got to meet her a few times!

Glad you liked it! You’ll never watch that intro the same again 😁

Thanks so much! 😃

Glad you found it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

First-generation resident of Camarillo; awesome! I need to explore there more, I usually just stop and fill up the tank; go to Del Taco 😊
