Green Acres: The Complete Series due from Shout! on Oct. 17th, 2017

From what others have said, they are identical so if you already have the first three, I can understand you not wanting to spend the money again. The remaining three seasons reportedly will be released as stand-alones but when remains to be seen. The last season - #6 - seems off a bit, like they were getting tired of the show and the last two episodes are simply pilots for series that never happened and are forgettable.

 

I hate the flippers of the first 2! the current price at Amazon is good, but I feel it will go down to $50.00 eventually or maybe not.

 

What do you mean by flippers?

 

double sided...DVDs...only the first 2 seasons...the 3rd was single sided...I'm talking MGM releases.

 

Gotcha. They're all one sided on the box set much like the Gilligan's Island complete set.

 

yup...very tempting. I'll probably just get it as I love the show.

 

Until I read your response, I thought you were mad at people who are selling ("flipping") the first two individual seasons of the original DVD releases... I had a bit of a Mr. Kimball moment I guess...

 

"Well, it's not really flipping, that's more of something you'd do with a waffle. Well not really a waffle, more of a pancake I guess...".

 

HAHAHA! that's funny.

 

OH! make up your mind!

 

Posting the opening here to point something that's been driving me crazy for decades....

At :56 Eddie reaches out with his left hand....when they then cut to Lisa, he grabs her with his right hand.

 

Geez, I never noticed that in 20+ years of watching the show! Nice catch! I was going to add it to the IMDB Goofs page but it's already listed!

 

"This is your lucky day. I've got a gen-u-ine pancake flipper from the Martha Washington collection. She collected them from the Indians after trading some of George's hair pieces. Helped keep the scalping down to a minimum. I can let you have it for say, 50 dollars?"

 

Sold!

I would buy pretty much all of Mr. Haney's junk because I appreciate a good con-man.. er.. salesperson.

 

Here's one for all you afficianados - what's Haney's first name?

 

I guess it isn't "Mister"? I guess I could look it up to find out but I have no idea off the top of my head.

 

Isn't it something like Eustace...?

 

Ding! Ding! Ding! Give the man some hotscakes!

 

I bet he wishes he'd gotten the answer wrong if that's the prize.

 

Not if he's planning to shingle his roof with them.

 

Or hot water soup!

 

Not sure if this is of any interest, but last night I went to the store and looked at their DVD selection-They had the first season of "Green Acres" on their shelves for $14.99... This wasn't a new Shout Factory release, but rather the original MGM release from 2004...

 

Wow! The manager must decide to hang on to old stock forever until it sells.

 

Tho he was referred to as Uncle Charlton by a motorcycle cop in Season 1.

 

I haven't watched it yet, but on the complete series box set there's a featurette called "Green Acres is the Place to Be" with the author (Stephen Cox) of a book called "The Hooterville Handbook". My question is this-Does anybody reading this thread own that book, and if so, what are your thoughts/opinions of it? Worthwhile? Don't waste your time?

Also, does anybody know if there are other "Green Acres" books in the world other than that one?
