- Crazy creditsIn some episodes, the opening credits appear in unusual locations (e.g.: chicken eggs, towels, writing on walls, breakfast items, newspaper headlines). In other episodes, the characters - particularly Lisa - react to the appearance of the credits superimposed over them or next to them.

Featured review
Vaudeville revisited
When I watch "Green Acres" I can't help but think that this is what Vaudeville must have been like. There's Oliver Wendell Douglas in his three-piece suit and Phi Beta Kappa key standing in front of an obviously painted backdrop with the most pathetic looking stalk of corn "growing" nearby. Then comes onstage a series of the finest comedians doing their standup routine with Mr. Douglas as the straight man: Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) with an endless supply of wacky things to sell; Hank Kimball (Alvy Moore) as the oh-so-forgetful farm agent ("Ah, Mr. Douglas! I have a message for you." "What is it?" "What is WHAT?" "The message!" "What message?" "MY MESSAGE!" "You have a message?"); Eb the farmhand (Tom Lester); on and on and on.
Love it.
Love it.
