How many of you remember the comedy show that used to air on TV called, “Green Acres”? It was a nice, but silly comedy about a rich lawyer, Mr. Oliver Windel Douglas and his New York Park Avenue elegant and rich wife, Lisa.
Mr. Douglas wanted to live on a farm and do just that, farm. He wanted to grow corn so he could sell it to grocery stores and make a profit. His wife had several mink coats, lived in one of the richest apartments overlooking Park Avenue, and had all kinds of expensive jewelry and fine clothes that only a person of great wealth could buy.
But when they got married, Mr. Douglas took Lisa out of her rich neighborhood and the two of them moved to a shabby, but intact farm house in the country that always needed repairs and fixing up in a place called “Hooterville”. Hooterville also served as the backdrop for “Petticoat Junction”, another kind of country comedy.
