Best television show ever.

i read somewhere that green acres was the most surrealist television show ever. i thought about this and i agree. well from 65-71 i was high most of the time so maybe that clouded my judgement.

Heck, I thought it was an accurate portrayal of life in Pea Ridge, Arkansas.

RIP

Always fit her roles to a tee.

Sorry to hear that she passed.

RIP.

When I was a kid we would watch Green Acres. I was a tomboy, and I always got kidded about being like Ralph. Except I wasn't in love with Hank Kimble. Although I loved his character too. He's still alive I believe. I just loved that show, and I watch it still on Antenna TV in the afternoons.

Howdy Duty Ralph!

Great show

Says he died in 1997. Eb is still alive.

RIP.

Very talented, never broke her stride playing Ralph.

Didn't know she was still around. American culture is better for having had her here.

Lisa Douglas (Eva Gabor) could not cook, much like Elly May Clampett on Beverly Hillbillies. I'm guessing that was Lisa's attempt to bake bread.

Green Acres was a hoot, and Mary Grace was a huge part of that. RIP.

(Arnold the Pig still cracks me up.)

I was not living in USA when much of it aired--I remember that show and another called "Petticoat Junction" that had a similar, kind of crazy vibe~!

with a common denominator of Hooterville, either as the actual "location", or a nearby town (it was near Jed Clampett's hometown). And Sam Drucker, the grocer / banker, appeared in all three shows at one time or another.

dance partner on the Andy Griffith episode. Who can forget Gomer saying "She's nice, real nice" as he danced crazily around Thelma Lou's living room.

Lovely in both roles!

(Mrs.) Gladys Kravitz was played by Alice Pearce and Sandra Gould, also fine actors.

She was a sweet character in that episode.

I was trying to think of what other show I remembered her from. Thanks!

There's no prize though. It was a bag of chips, but i ate them already.

And as Gomer said "She's Niiiicccceee!"

Right-wingers as a an attempt by Hollywood 'elites' to masculinize women if it was portrayed today. I can just hear Faux Spews and Limbaugh ranting and making it the manufactured outrage du jour. She was a terrific comedienne.

Time waits for no one.

She was my hero(ine) and role model because I most looked like her, i.e. tomboyish. I wasn't frilly and feminine at all. So even if it was a silly show, it was a relief to see her, even in such a silly fun show.

RIP, Mary Grace Canfield. You inspired at least one little girl to be OK with being different.

I saw a lot of that show as a kid!

even now, I say "what are you, a Mrs. Kravitz"? when someone peeks out the window spying on neighbors. No one ever knows what I am referring to (but I'm used to that).

I still refer to Mrs. Huffnagel from St. Elsewhere when someone plays with hospital bed controls too much.

...along with The Beverly Hillbillies, because they wanted to have a more "sophisticated" image.

Green Acres, along with Beverly Hillbillies, had one sly and consistent joke that ran through every episode like an electric current...the "city folk" were outsmarted virtually every time by the "country folk," and when a solution was needed to ANY problem, small or large, the "city folk" never had the goods...it was always the "country folk" to the rescue.

R.I.P., Ralph...

Which was a shame, really. I consider Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies to be among the best sit-coms ever made.
