Featured review
Things finally shaping up
Much of the first season of "Green Acres" lacks the lunacy that gives the show much of its lasting appeal, but at least with this episode we get Oliver and Lisa out on the farm, and the introductions of Mr. Haney and Eb. The rest of the supporting cast coming from Petticoat Junction still makes this episode feel a little like we're watching a subplot on that program. That will continue to be the case for a while longer until the show gets its footing.
This episode unveils the first of many cons perpetrated by Haney, establishes Drucker's store as the center of town activity, and we get Eb, the hired hand who basically fulfills the child role this show lacks (unusual for the time, since most married couples on television at the time would have had one or two children).
