15 of 16. Flew through this one! I missed #14, Oliver's mother's name. I picked Elverna instead of Eunice. No extra credit for at least getting the "E" correct though!
Recently re-watched all the episodes of Green Acres (in order) since it first came on the air back in the 60's. I had forgotten how hysterically funny it is! I guess I was too young to appreciate all the gags back then. What a brilliant cast! The writers really knew what they were doing. Every episode is knee slapping comedic from start to finish. There's an element of surrealism to the show, yet the happenings there somehow seem believable. Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor are the perfect couple!
In the 1980's we once went to see Tom Lester and Pat Buttram at the Green Acres Mall in New York.

I got 14 out of 16. I've watched this show many times over the years and I don't even remember the basset hound and I didn't know the Yorkie's name was ever given.
