I fell in love with Green Acres when I was 14 years old in 1998. (When it came on every night on TV Land) In 1999 I asked my mom if we could go to Los Angeles to see if we could find Eddie Albert's house. She knew how much I loved Green Acres, so she said that would be our vacation that summer. We wound up flying out there from Nashville, Tennessee, and on our second day there, we were able to find his house by using a Hollywood Star map. (a map that shows where the stars live) When we found his house, we stopped out in front on the side of the road to take some video and pictures. Eddie just happened to be sitting at his dining room table and saw us out the front window. We could see him get up and head towards the front door. The door opened and he came out on his front porch and waved for us to come up, so of course we did! I told him how much I loved Green Acres and Mr. Douglas, and had my picture made with him. I was in shock...I couldn't believe it was happening. It was so nice of him to do that for us. It was an amazing experience, and I will remember that day for the rest of my life. If you would like to see the picture my mom took of me with Eddie, I put it in a short video you can watch here ;: ua-cam.com/video/VIlIcJ4ocu4/v-deo.htmlsi=4xAo7OU-VWIzUMxv
The actual reason that Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor sang the theme was to save money on the pilot film! They were pushed into doing it.VERY reluctantly! But the end result was one of the most memorable TV themes ever!
I'm 61, just started watching this show again a month ago, and I'm loving it way more than I did as a kid. It's hilarious! Plus, as a writer, I have a whole new respect for it. And seeing Mr. Douglas riding that tractor and doing farm chores in his suit cracks me up every time!😂
Hit me that way, too. I swear the thing just floats around in the atmosphere looking for victims. (I'm pretty sure I've never seen more than 2 episodes, if that.) But hey, there are much worse songs to have firmly wedged.
I'm 15 and when I'm at my dad's house once in a while this show is on, and it gets stuck in my head all the time too lol even when I am at my mom's house, who doesn't watch it!
What's so interesting is that although it was Oliver who wanted to swap city life for farm life, he had a difficult time accepting it, especially the people. Unlike wife Lisa who didn't want to leave New York, yet got right into the rural life with ease.
In the early 2000s, this show came on at 6am on Canadian TV. My 12 year old self would wake up everyday to watch this and The Munsters, which followed.
In the late 2000s, I was 11 years old when I first watched this show. Along with: 'The Munsters', 'The Addams Family' and 'I Love Lucy'. Man, do I love the classics.
Every morning in 8th grade my history teacher would start the day off with this song and it brings back so many memories of him and his class and it's been 10 years now. Thank you Mr. Santiago for all the amazing memories in my favorite class even if I was a bit lazy at times
"Darling I love you, but give me Park Avenue". Thank you for uploading this gem of a show opening theme, just what I needed in these " Strange" times. I have the series on DVD packed away ( upcoming move) ,just wanted to hear the song. Love the show, so funny how Oliver was determined to live life in the country- yet, surprised and dismayed over the locals and there " Hick " daily lives, Oliver, what did you expect ? Too funny !
Oliver never really quite "fit in" with the rest of Hooterville, while Lisa DID. He preferred working in his own "comfortable" clothes, while Lisa preferred lounging in her Jean Louis outfits. One 1967 episode, "The Hooterville Image", showed what happened when Oliver tried wearing "farm clothing".
The show was like a backwards Beverly Hillbillies. The Clampetts wore their country clothes in the city and so Oliver wears his city clothes in the country. His clothes are addressed in one show where the other residents all wear suits hoping to show him how silly he looks, like Fred Ziffell wearing a suit to slop the hogs.
My wife is American -HUNGARIAN born in Hollywood Ca..Her parents both Hungarians born came here during the 1956 Russian revolution.Her mother raised her old school and she's best wife in the world.I would do anything for her. Love this show.
And my childhood just came flooding back. It was an "old" show when I was a kid, but I loved it then, and I think I love this show more even more now as an adult.
Vic Mizzy did a superb job of composing these very clever lyrics that were SO very appropriate for this show. As teenagers, we'd sing right along at the opening of every show. And we loved ALL of the characters on this show, including Arnold the pig!! LOL
Ah-lee-vuh…. I love it when Lisa Douglas (Eva Gabor) says Oliver’s name. What a wacky, absurdly funny concept for a show, and it was great. Our family always watched it growing up. Hotscakes are ready! 😂😂
I SOOOOOO LOVE THIS THEME SONG AND SHOW!When I hear this song or when I sing it on my own, I remember when life was simpler and more creative. I miss "genuine and witty" shows such as this one.Eddie Albert was a magnificent actor. And so was the rest of the cast.
Just randomly realized after looking at American Gothic, that the last scene of this is a reference to that. I haven't even seen this show in years, but that randomly popped into my head.
This show was broadcast in Italy between the 70's and the 80's, life at that time was simpler and happier, I was a child, my father put me in front of the TV and I used to have some much fun watching Green Acres...
When I first got my license and was doing driving lessons with my Mum out the back of town where it was just farms and meadows this used to be the song I sung whenever I was stressed or anxious or bored and to this day (8 years later) whenever I'm feeling that way I find myself singing or humming this song, I absolutely love it, it reminds me of times when I was younger and things were so much easier ❤️
Reruns of the show airing on MeTV inspired me to name my island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons after this show. Hell, the island tune is the first seven notes (well, six) of the theme.
The 60s were a goldmine for innovative comedy: Beverly Hillbillies, Hogan's Heroes, Get Smart, Addam's Family etc. Couldn't make much of it today in the PC, Cancel Culture era.
Earlier episodes of GA were in black and white as we know. If I remember correctly most if not all episodes were shown by Channel 4 (UK) after it first opened in Nov 1982. It had been on RTE (Ireland) in the 1960s, how it takes me back!
OK! That was GREAT! For some mysterious reason, this song has been popping into my head, for the past 3-4 days. I'm pretty sure i haven't given the song or show even a passing thought in decades. Obviously, decided to give it a listen, so here i am. Had a fun time. 🎉 Started dancing in my chair at the first boom, boom. Sang along, out loud & remembered every word. The funny thing is, during the past few days, i'd only sing snatches of it cause i was missing words. So i was surprised & impressed with myself for remembering all of it. I kinda want to watch an episode, but i'm afraid i'll be disappointed. Maybe it's better to just remember it nostalgically. 😄 EDIT: Sorry, forgot to say thanks muchly for posting the actual intro & not just the audio. 👍☮️
Hee, same thing happened to me yesterday! I swear, I can't have seen more than 2 episodes of the show ever, if that. Yet somehow that theme song got so deeply embedded in my brain that it refuses to budge. I've been singing/whistling it off and on ever since. Had to come here to listen to it yet again today!
It's almost bizarre how much I loved a show that was decades old before I was even born. But man I guess a good show is good show no matter how old it is.
Ah yes...the second-most famous theme song written by Vic Mizzy. (And like his first most-famous one, has an instrumental intro & bridge that's memorable and often played on its own)
i love this video this song of green acres when i was a kid at 6 years old in 1965 and i did the song at the bowling alley lounge and the audience love it the way i have performance 2013 i am 54 years old
Idk care what anybody else is saying in the comments this is the best & older shows like where the best as a kid growing up I loved watching shows like this along with cartoons of course. For those who didn't watch shows like this here's some good ones; Gilligan's island, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Mash, Little House on the Prairie, Gun Smoke, Annie Oakey, Grizzly Adams, Batman, Bonanza, The Andy Griffin Show, and much more, you get the point.
im a kid (under 15) and i was raised watching this stuff, im so sad more parents dont make their kids watch older stuff that series was so funny i love it
I never knew this song until this man was singing it on the bus and I thought he was singing about a train station until my mom start singing the song and she told me it was a show back when she was young I finally listen to the song and I started dying laughing lol
It’s very interesting They chose to have this and petticoat Junction take place in the same small town. Growing up reruns of petticoat Junction weren’t shown in my city. It wasn’t until TV Land started airing the series that I knew there was a another series that took place in Hooterville.
Our whole family would sit and laugh so hard. Couldn’t wait each week and made a cinnamon apple 🍏 cake 🍰 and cups of tea for us all!!! 🤪😝😜🤣😂 ☕️☕️🫖☕️☕️☕️
I grew up on a farm my grandparents farm their house didn’t look anything like that. It was very nice. My grandpa built it for my grandma took two years but the farm was a real farm and we’re not sure would come on and I was a little kid sitting in their living room with the checkered curtains blown in the kitchen window and you could smell my grandma cooking and I could hear that Greenacres that takes me back to priceless memories that I would never trade. I actually found a red barn cookie jar so the jar it’s actually plastic and when you lift the great when you lift the lid it’s the music the Greenacres entire song and it works. I found it a goodwill in a dumpster. It is awesome and it was done probably in 1970 I think that’s what it said it took a while to clean it up, but it is my favorite kitchen piece, so Yep brings back priceless memories .
Eddie Albert grew up in Minneapolis Minnesota… Many times I would see him walk the streets of downtown Minneapolis in the 1980s every time he came in town to visit… Very down to earth and pose for pictures with everybody
I first heard this show's theme song when Pauly Shore's character sang it in Son-In-Law. I would later see this show when it was reran on TV Land when the network launched in 1996. I would later see reruns of this show on a UPN (now CW) station we had on TV at the time (back before we got cable TV), which would be followed by the original Addams Family series. The night I had started up Animal Crossing: New Horizons on my Nintendo Switch (which I had been playing exhaustively since a lot of places are closed due to the blasted COVID-19 and whatnot) for the first time just days after getting it at the local Walmart, a rerun of an episode of Green Acres was about to start on MeTV (which the show is reran nowadays), I was prompted to name my island in the game, which I called "GreenAcres" (I tried to put in a space in between "Green" and "Acres", but the "s" in "Acres" wouldn't fit). If anything, I would change that line in this show's theme song, "Farm livin' is the life for me!" to "Animal Crossing is the game for me!"
*Lisa:* "I want to stay in the city. I have everything I ever wanted here. I would be completely miserable living on a farm." *Oliver:* "Am I getting dementia? Because I don't remember asking for your opinion."
Does anyone remember the second version of this intro? According to an individual on a message board, he said that the show had a second version. He said he only saw it on the Moon Rock episode in Syndication.
I was just watching the Steelers at Bengals and they were playing this on Sunday Night football and I was trying to remember what this song was and finally I found it!
Green Acres is the place to be, farm livin' is the life for me. Land spreadin' out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that Countryside. New York is where I'd rather stay, I get allergic smelling hay! I just adore a Penthouse view. Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue. The Chores! The Stores! Fresh Air! Time Square! You are my Wife. Goodbye City life! Green Acres we are there.
I fell in love with Green Acres when I was 14 years old in 1998. (When it came on every night on TV Land) In 1999 I asked my mom if we could go to Los Angeles to see if we could find Eddie Albert's house.

This song plays over and over in my head every time I do yard work.

It's one of my favourites.
thats crazy, it totally sets the mood for the main characters to sing the theme here. its iconic. cant even imagine if it hadnt turned out that way.

I love this show more now as an adult than when I was a kid. The plotlines and characters are so bizarre.
I like aronld ziffe heis the ust funnyiest
One of the best tv intros ever.
I'm 24 years old and this song gets stuck in my head so bad! I'll be laying in bed and all a sudden "grrEEN ACRES IS THE PLACE TO BE"
Hit me that way, too. I swear the thing just floats around in the atmosphere looking for victims. (I'm pretty sure I've never seen more than 2 episodes, if that.)

Well, I always thought that was the whole point of the show? Still funny when I think about it now, lol!
"You are my wife!"
"Good-bye city life!"
Well... that was easy.
TheSmithersy You’re not going to win friends and influence people talking like that. (Thinking the reverse way isn’t cool either.)
TheSmithersy wow!! that pretty sexist
Its because lisa is pretty gullable, in one episode she falls for mr. Haneys con and buys hamster milk

One thing I had a hard time grasping is that Oliver worked on a farm in an expensive three piece suit.

What about Drobny 🦆??? 😊😊😊😊

I remember watching this without color years and years ago in my Aunt's house. Good times.
I started watching this show recently. Already know the whole intro.
My dad loved this show
I LOVE BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY
Eva Gabor was the voice of Duchess from The Aristocats and Miss Bianca from The Rescuers!
My mom and I would watch this together on Nick at Nite when I was a kid.
My parents picked up a barn in North Carolina that plays the first lyrics of this song.
Me and my mom, love the show when I was a kid. I never knew that one day I would feel this way. Give me the countryside.
I've never watched this series, but the tune is so damn catchy XD
I agree but ive watched this
Reruns of the show airing on MeTV inspired me to name my island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons after this show. Hell, the island tune is the first seven notes (well, six) of the theme.

(And like his first most-famous one, has an instrumental intro & bridge that's memorable and often played on its own)
I knew what green acres was without knowing what green acres was
I'd always loved The Green Acres Theme Song
Great. now I have this song stuck in my head
I remember watching this at home while you were at school.
FYI, I believe the Gabors themselves were actually Hungarian, or somewhere close.
They were.
I love the music. I'd imagine that was a very popular tv show back in the day.

there's actually a company in Peoria, IL called "Victory Acres", and their jingle's a parody of this song, and I only found that out just now! HA!
CBS always has the best tv shows back during the Golden age of tv and they were referred to as the Tiffany Network.

The night I had started up Animal Crossing: New Horizons on my Nintendo Switch (which I had been playing exhaustively since a lot of places are closed due to the blasted COVID-19 and whatnot) for the first time just days after getting it at the local Walmart, a rerun of an episode of Green Acres was about to start on MeTV (which the show is reran nowadays), I was prompted to name my island in the game, which I called "GreenAcres" (I tried to put in a space in between "Green" and "Acres", but the "s" in "Acres" wouldn't fit). If anything, I would change that line in this show's theme song, "Farm livin' is the life for me!" to "Animal Crossing is the game for me!"
Best TV theme song in history!
Notice the Mondrian art piece on her wall? Same as the Partridge family bus.
It was one of the funniest TV shows of the 1960's.
*Lisa:* "I want to stay in the city. I have everything I ever wanted here. I would be completely miserable living on a farm."
*Oliver:* "Am I getting dementia? Because I don't remember asking for your opinion."
One of Mom's favorite shows.
Times SQUAAHHHH
Does anyone remember the second version of this intro? According to an individual on a message board, he said that the show had a second version. He said he only saw it on the Moon Rock episode in Syndication.
I was just watching the Steelers at Bengals and they were playing this on Sunday Night football and I was trying to remember what this song was and finally I found it!
Man I haven't watched that show in a long time.
Green Acres is the place to be, farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that Countryside.
New York is where I'd rather stay, I get allergic smelling hay!
I just adore a Penthouse view. Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.
The Chores!
The Stores!
Fresh Air!
Time Square!
You are my Wife.
Goodbye City life!
Green Acres we are there.
