I love how Eva pushed the ashtray away. “Oh darling”….lol.😄👍🏾

Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor were so great together.

I love Eva's voice.

I always thought Eva was the most beautiful of the Gabors. So feminine and gracious.

Eva and Eddie handled that misguided TV Guide critic with such elegance.

The script of Green Acres was Perfect. My husband and I can't sit through a show without falling off our chairs laughing. In a stressful, crazy world today it is our nightly therapy😄

I'm 60 plus years old and still lmao watching Green Acres.

My ringtone is the green acres theme song. My all time favorite show!

Loved the show and really loved the Chemistry between Eva and Eddie. Can't make situation comedies like that anymore.

Eva Gabor was a boss. She and Albert realized that the value of 'Green Acres' was in how silly it was.

Eva was a Gem! She & Eddie Albert had great chemistry. 🥰 Such a sad day when she passed. 💔 The classiest Gabor!!! 💜

Over the long years since Green Acres was on t.v. which by the way was an incredibly popular show, just ask anyone who is old enough to remember the show, Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor had only wonderful things to say about each other ...... You can tell how much they thought of each other! How sweet!!

When civility and class was the norm

They seemed like such an unlikely match, but it definitely worked. I watched Green Acres first run as a kid and still enjoy the reruns. 😄

She is every inch the lady I thought she would be. What a sweet spirit about her. Love the respect they show her and it comes so naturally.. And love how they support each other and defend those who are not there to defend themselves. lol "maybe you were drinking".. lol Nothing could sound catty coming out of that pretty face and accent.

Eddie Albert lived until 99 years old !!!! Amazing!

Eddie Albert during WW2, was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.

Eva is such a pro and handles those "60s men" well, with grace and class

Great interview with two stars with fabulous chemistry and who genuinely loved their show and defended it against that pompous critic with class to boot. No show like Green Acres now.

My favorite line of Eddie's on Green Acres was " Oh for the love of" ..... lol

Thank you for posting this! I just love Eva and think she and Eddie were perfectly cast together on Green Acres! I’m a 90s kid but I love seeing videos like this, just makes me smile 😊 so cool to see interviews like this to show what their personalities were like, both Eva and Eddie seemed like lovely and down to earth people, wish I could’ve met them!!

Eva had such a wonderful speaking voice outside of her character. I could listen to her read a phone book.

>> Eva is 47 here. WOW! She's beautiful!

The casual viewers of Green Acres, or those that we're only somewhat aware of its existence, thought the program frivolous and perhaps "cute" at best, no doubt. Those of us who watched weekly and obsessively knew better. It was a consistently well-written satire that poked fun at stuffed-shirts and institutions of all stripes. As it went along, it became the first surrealistic comedy ever on television. Ahead of its time by leaps and bounds.

Green acres is one of the few shows from that time that is still funny today.

Eddie Albert (Heimberger) got the Bronze start for rescuing about 100 marines during the battle of Tarawa. That should be mentioned since we are in the vicinity of Memorial Day.

Ahhh breathe of classy era from yesteryear nowhere to be found today in Hollyweird!

I was eleven years old when this was on. Sad how time slips away.

Im 57, and I watch it evey week night. It makes modern day television look like the garbage it is.

I was 2 when this was aired and Green acres was TV gold and will always be adored and Eva is wonderful.

Eva was the ONLY Gabor sister with talent. She had great comic timing. And her natural accent made it even better. Albert was the sane one. In a world of oddities, including Arnold.

Eva Gabor looks so Beautiful

I wish they'd have had the whole show here. Love the way Eva put the critic in his place maybe you had something to drink...." Wow, she belted him GOOD! And Eddie Albert went to bat superbly for write Kay sommers. And he was right, impeccable writing!! Eva was very beautiful and her personality too! I'm glad we still have these shows to watch. I watch nothing of the new shows. Everything from fifties and sixties is so much better. Not to say it didn't have its decadence too-it did. Bit at least there were many shows we could watch and not feel soiled. Like green acres, Andy Griffith, make room for daddy, father knows best, leave it to beaver, and other kind's like naked city, the untouchables, and many more. 🙏

Back when the world had class!

I love how they spoke well of each other and took up for the show. If they ran reruns of it today is watch it b4 the stuff they have today it was very funny.

She was the total opposite of Zsa Zsa (i.e, very likeable!)

Thank you for such an enjoyable clip.

They were both pretty old when this show was on, but they looked great. She was in her 50's and he in his 60's.

Eva was a sweet dear woman and Eddie was a true to life brave war hero, he was picking up wounded Marines from a beach head in WWII under constant Japanese machine gun fire, he was a Coast Guardsman who was a coxswain of a landing craft. Shows like Merv Griffin look like they were vary entertaining, no foul mouth rappers, psychotic LBGT-XYZ loonies, or militant demented social worriers. Green Acres was the best sit-com ever produced, clean and extremely funny, something that you don't see today, 15 years ago, or according to my dad even longer than that.

Eddie alberts was a war hero saving many lives

The wonderfully unpredictable nature of '60s talk shows is lost forever.

Binge watching this show and it reminded of my childhood and loving seeing eva in those nightgowns. The color on the show is as beautiful Eva.

My mother loved the show so much she named me after eva,s character Lisa.

They are so Class. Eddie Albert is wonderfully humble and kind, and Eva is perfectly charming and beautiful.

Notice the men stand each time she gets up.

Green Acres will never grow old. It's as funny and fresh now as it was when it first aired.

The best show ever.

What a beautiful woman she was.

These men would be off in a heartbeat these days!

Thanks for sharing this. As a kid I watched the show and loved it. Today I still get a kick out of it and look up some of the guest stars to see their past acting careers before they appeared on the show. Even today in 2023 there are still plenty of references to this show in commercials and other pop culture events. Again, thanks for sharing.

I believe right now Green Acres is the closest show we have to reality. True story.

This is the only talk show I've ever seen where the guest sits behind the desk with the host: 3:08

Ava seemed like such a sweetheart!

Eva was still beautiful when she passed away in the early 90s.

Truly was brilliantly written with wonderful actors that delivered it beautifully.

The show although silly is really intelligently written very funny... way beyond what we get today

Watching this on July 4, the anniversary of Eva's death. Gone wayy too soon. (February 11, 1919 - July 4, 1995)

Very lovely she played her part so well no one could imitate her

She was a smoke show for sure...stunning beauty and grace and so playful

class, style, and wit

Nothing beats TV comedy shows from the '60's and the '70's. What a great couple those two made on that show!

HERE WE SEE CLASS, MANNERS, CHARM AND GRACE INSTEAD OF CURSE WORDS, SHOWING BODY PARTS WITH PIERCING AND TATTOOS! FYI: MERV AND EVA LATER WERE A COUPLE IN THEIR LATTER YEARS. WISHED WE COULD RECAPTURE THIS AMERICA!

Back when talk shows were genuinely entertaining. Eva was always a beauty and the youngest Gabor sister.Eddie had a great reputation, and had done a lot of Broadway. Merv was a down to earth host.

LOVE GREEN ACRES WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she should have shoosted the TV guide critic. That show rocked!!!!!!!!

You'll Never Ever See Anything Like This Again Ever Period!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness, she was SOOOO beautiful! I think she was the (Female) love of Merv's life. When she became ill down in Mexico he desperately tried to save her, but sadly it was too late. 😢

Eva and Merv were lifelong friends

Que Caballerosidad de los hombres de aquellos tiempos,pararse cuando una dama se para,hubiese querido vivir aquellos tiempos,como se ve el respeto y carino hacia sus Companeros. Eva hermosa siempre.

Thank you !!!

Incidentally, Eva was extremely popular with talk show hosts, from Merv and Johnny to Arsenio Hall and David Letterman. She was one of the few that didn't need scripted answers or questions. What you saw is what you got!

She was absolutely fabulous and she was taken away too soon.

20 years later Merv and the lovely Eva had a very public platonic relationship.

For co-stars you could tell Eddie and Eva enjoyed and loved one another. Off stage he always, without fail, greeted her with a hug and kiss, as if they were a couple. The look on her face was always joy around him. Think they had a great deal of "electricrisical" between them. My wife always said she thought it was too silly but we just finished up watching the entire series and she enjoyed watching their loving silliness.

In the days when smoking on TV was common. Seems like a million years ago.

The critic was Cleveland Amory, who was known for hating everything.

She really was gorgeous wasn't she

Aww 🥰 I was 3months old when this was filmed camera 🎥

Best of Merv Geriffon eposoids ever...

I didnt know there were so many talk shows in the 1960's . I had to go to bed by 9 and didnt notice them till the early1970's and afternoon talk shows.

The voice of my Disney childhood 😍

Eva should of won an emmy every year.

My favorite show still watch it everyday along with twilight zone

Treacher Founded The Fish and Chips Chain with His name.

OMG, Arthur Treacher. I loved his fish and chips

According to the late Melody Patterson, who had guested on Green Acres, both Eva and Eddie were wonderful people but she was surprised by how often they had to use cue cards.

have two black and white autographed 8 x 10's of Eddie alone and one with Tom Lester milking Elinor the cow......out of the three shows...Green Acres is by far the BEST..!!

legs. whoa

Merv's legacy still with us.

I love how Eddie Albert, a guest, is sitting behind the dest with the host. What the hell? Ha ha! Too funny and original.

Surprised that Merv was still in black and white in late 1966.

Love Merv and Eva and Eddie ❤

So much talent years ago compared to now. Today's actors, if you want to call them that are talent-less hacks. I watch a lot of the older programs on KZfaq. There is nothing but garbage on today's t.v.

Eva: Will you get your eyes off wherever you looking to😆😆

she was the number one babe in all the world! wow! what a babe!

Best show on TV ever

The Best. 👍

Such class. The days when people could have a disagreement with class. Try having a different point of view or opinion these days and watch the rude language and insults fly.

What a flirt. So funny 🙂
