What an interesting story, made it big despite discouragement of his hometown, how wrong he proved them..... You could tell by the way he lit up every scene he was in, that he was having a great time. Perfect fit for the off-kilter reality of Hooterville……… especially how he called the Douglas'es "mom and dad"..... Green Acres has always been one of my favorite shows, and watch it on MeTV when I can, still love it even after 50 years...…
