Green Acres

Oliver Wendell Douglas is a big city lawyer who takes the big step and buys a farm near Hooterville, while his wife's, Lisa, response to the news of his farm is decidedly explosive

Oliver brings his wife Lisa to their new home, a ramshackle farm near Hooterville.

Oliver and Lisa call in a decorator to begin a major overhaul of their dilapidated farm.

The Hooterville rumor mill has it that Lisa packed up and left Oliver. Actually, she went back to New York to close up their penthouse apartment.

Oliver calls in a roofer, a plumber and an agricultural expert. All of them give the same appraisal of his farm: a disaster.

The Douglases are awaiting the arrival of their furniture. When it is accidentally delivered to Mr. Haney, he tries to sell them their own possessions.

It's plowing time and Oliver runs into trouble with equipment bought from Mr. Haney. The neighbors come to the rescue and plow the field in time for planting.

When Oliver sends a sample of his soil to the State Scientific College a report comes back that his farm contains ingredients never before found in soil.

Relying on statistics provided by the Department of Agriculture, Oliver plants wheat. His neighbors, using Mrs. Ziffel's lumbago to predict a crop, plant corn.

Oliver finally has a phone installed, but the Hooterville Phone Company installs it directly outside his bedroom window--on top of the telephone pole.

Oliver plants his entire 160 acres with wheat, only to hear from the Conservation of Stabilization Committee, a local farm organization, that he is not allowed to do so.

The cow Oliver bought from Mr. Haney is pregnant. Eb is afraid that if Mr. Haney finds out, he will claim that the calf belongs to him.

It's the Douglases' wedding anniversary. Oliver remembers the date but cannot recall the exact number of years he and Lisa have been married.

Lisa decides to bring a little culture and charm to Hooterville by means of a beauty parlor.

Oliver buys 140 acres of land adjoining his property, excluding the farmhouse on it. Lisa misunderstands and thinks the farmhouse is their new home.

Oliver discovers the only requirement to join the Hooterville Valley Fire Department is that he must play a musical instrument.

Oliver is annoyed when Lisa puts a listing in the new phone book: "Oliver Douglas, Attorney at Law." Unfortunately, nobody calls for his services.

Oliver falls through the roof and sprains his ankle while putting up a TV antenna.

Oliver's apple crop is ready to be harvested, and he decides to market them himself.

Ralph, the lady carpenter, becomes enamored of Mr. Kimball, the county agent. However, he refuses to go out with a girl named Ralph.

Oliver discovers that Eb has a way with sick animals and offers to put him through college. Eb is rejected because he never graduated from high school.
