Can you pass the great, big Green Acres quiz?
Gree-e-e-e-n Acres is the place for me…
The charmingly quirky Green Acres remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of the 1960s. While on the surface it was a simple tale of city folk moving to a farm, the sitcom was ahead of its time. Green Acres broke the fourth wall, had its characters acknowledge that they were living in a sitcom, and experimented with other postmodern techniques.
But when it comes down to it, it was just darn funny. Regardless of all that academic stuff.
No wonder the series aired for six popular seasons. You can probably sing the theme song. Let's see how well you know some trivia about Green Acres.

Russell Bridges- a.k.a. LEON RUSSELL played the xylophone for Vic Mizzy on the theme song.

About number 8...doesn't the answer here kind of depend on which how-Oliver-met-Lisa episode you watch?

20/25. At least a "B" in just about any TV "school". LOL!
22 of 25. Actually Mr.Ziffel was the one who shingled his roof with the HotsCakes. I don't know if Oliver ever actually did it but when he saw how Mr.Ziffel used them he said "why didn't I think of that?".
That’s what I thought!
