help Green Acres FAQ
Who moves to the farm in Green Acres?
New York attorney Oliver Wendell Douglas, played by Eddie Albert, buys a rundown farm near Hooterville. His glamorous Hungarian wife Lisa, played by Eva Gabor, reluctantly leaves their Manhattan penthouse to join him.
Is Green Acres set in Iowa?
No specific state is consistently established, and the farm is located in the fictional community of Hooterville. That town also connects Green Acres to the CBS sitcom Petticoat Junction.
Why does Arnold Ziffel behave like a person?
Arnold is the Ziffel family's pig, but the residents treat him as an unusually intelligent child who watches television and attends school. Oliver is often the only character who objects, which fits the show's surreal logic.
How much Green Acres was produced before CBS canceled it?
CBS broadcast six seasons from 1965 through 1971, with Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor leading the series. Many cast members later reunited for the 1990 television movie Return to Green Acres.
