													@edgarblythe,
												aww
my nickname in Grade 5 was Eb.
Not because I was a farmery kind of kid.  Because I wasn't. 
I loved Green Acres. 
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												
it's big and I don't care
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Mr Haney was the kind of flimflam man I could like and not like at the same time.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Green Acres was the first surrealistic TV comedy, I know it was supposed to be just a 'fish out of water' story but the characters dreamed up by the writers were over the foggy edge. Arnold, The PIG, Haney the flim-flam man, Ralph the Handy Woman....
The next best show like it was Northern Exposure which never got as zany as the Wall Street Executive with a pitchfork. 
Fare well, Ralph.....

													@farmerman,
												I didn't get one right and I've watched the show (ok, it was  35 yrs ago). I do recall Oliver climbing the telephone pole outside his farm in order to make a call. That show still cracks me up.
Mary-Grace/Ralph, you were OK!
