The Catalog of Cool describes Green Acres this way: To be truly cool, one must genuinely understand the uselessness of logic and reason in a world gone mad.... Eddie Albert (ostensibly sane) spent six seasons appealing to the whacked out citizens of Hooterville to behave in a rational and orderly manner. Naturally, he got just what he deserved--the gradual erosion of his own mental stability. Aficionados of this show like to call it surreal. I call it real life. All one can add to that, to paraphrase the classic title song, is that DVD is the place for Green Acres to be. Hooterville may have been condemned by critics as a vast wasteland, but as the first season demonstrates, it provides fertile ground for bizarre behavior for a gallery of classic characters who rival the residents of Twin Peaks. "Oliver Buys a Farm," the series pilot, is a comparatively tame episode that gives little hint of the weirdness to come. Lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Albert), weary of life in New York ("It's a rat race, and the rats are winning!" he declares), buys the Haney place to the horror of his socialite wife Lisa (Eva Gabor), whose ditziness has yet to be established. Look for appearances by Petticoat Junction denizens Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchannan), Sam Drucker (Frank Cady), Hooterville Cannonball engineer Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis), and everyone's favorite wonder pig, Arnold Ziffel.
Among the season's other episodes, in "The Day of Decision," all of Hooterville wonders whether "she will" or "she won't" as Lisa chooses between life on the farm or returning to New York. In "Never Look a Gift Tractor in the Mouth," Hooterville is beginning to look like Peyton Place when Doris Ziffel (Barbara Pepper) becomes convinced that her husband Fred (Hank Patterson) and Lisa are having an affair. "Lisa Bakes a Cake," in which Lisa lists Oliver in the phone book as an attorney, is about as flat and heavy as one of Lisa's infamous creations. --Donald Liebenson

i think everything was great except...and this really burns me up...why cant they program these DVDs to play all in sequence, and not the "select episode" after watching each individual episode? at least tell us if its a "play all" DVD or not, and save me the trouble of buying the ones that dont play the entire DVD without fumbling for the remote.

This series is almost too true to be funny. It was a prophetic look into the future to the way things are today. Good people, but dumb as a post. Nothing works, there is no common sense, there are scoundrels out to scam you out of your money, yet the good-hearted keep trying to make sense out of it all. Bless their hearts.
Episodes in Season 1 were:
Disc 1
1. Oliver buys a farm
2. Lisa's first day on the farm
3. The decorator
4. The best laid plans

I live in Australia and the only way you can watch Green Acres is on paid tv. So im loving watching the Dvd. Well worth the wait for it.

Very well written humor that didn't need the jokes about sex to get a laugh.
Not that I mind them, but this was before any of that was allowed.
