Green Acres

The previous bracket:

Bracket 11
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie

 

1-12 Green Acres

 

This two are like pitting Gretzky and Lemieux together!

Love em both!

 

Green Acres by an eyelash

 

Catchy but felt by-the-numbers.



They handed the cameras to the fans and ended up with a video as generic as anything any other hair metal band was shooting.

 

I love neither of these themes, but Van Dyke is SUCH a better show.

Perhaps Petticoat Junction would've made a better matchup for Acres?

 

I think they're both great themes, and fairly iconic ones at that. But the Green Acres theme is actually pretty funny on its own, especially when coupled with that intro sequence, which gives it the edge in my book for a comedy series.
