Green Acres is a sitcom that aired on CBS.

In this spinoff of Petticoat Junction, a wealthy New York couple move to a rural country farm and end up getting the eccentric and oddball residents of Hooterville for neighbors. While Oliver Wendell Douglas, who wanted to make the move to fulfill his dream of becoming a farmer, struggles to make sense of his surroundings, his glamorous, yet ditzy and illogical, Hungarian-born wife Lisa, who initially resisted making the move, ends up fitting in with her offbeat neighbors.
