Eddie Albert joined the military after he had found success as an actor. In World War 2, he had saved several lives at the risk of his own. He enlisted in the Navy in 1942 and was discharged a short year later so that he would be able to accept an officer position in the Naval Reserve. During the Battle of Tarawa, Albert earned a Bronze Star with Combat "V". He fought in the first wave of combat that lasted for three days. After most of the shooting was over, he was sent back to the site of the battle to salvage any equipment he could find. Because of coral reefs in the area, Marines weren't able to land directly on the beach and had to get off their boats 500 yards from shore. Enemy combatants started picking them off, and soon the waters were filled with over 100 wounded and many more dead. Albert disregarded his mission to grab equipment and began pulling marines to safety. He took 47 in total, and oversaw the rescue of 30 more.
The battle of Tarawa I saw in 'Saving Private Ryan'. Couldn't watch the movie again bc of it.. Didn't know Mr Albert was apart of that battle. Learn something new everyday, huh? Thanks.
@Clark Hull Yeah playing tough guys in the movies and being one in real life are two totally different things. I would take the real life tough guy any time. Lol. And no, if Diniri doesn't care for a country I couldn't see him doing what Eddie Albert and others like Albert did in the war for their country.
@@donnagail8217 ... I was in High School when these were being aired and never missed an episode... I remember one show where Mr. Douglas starts to lose his temper with a small group of unruly kids and Lisa says... "Oliver don't yell at them or they'll turn into hippies" ROTFLMAO
@@SOCORROSILVA-in7px ... it stands for --> rolling on the floor laughing my ass off... here in the U.S.A. we have a very hard time spelling whole words so now we just use the first letter of the word, which I guess is a lot easier then using the last letter... don't blame me, I didn't make this stuff up
Ironic. I was just watching this episode on METV with the kids protesting, mentioning the national guard made me think of Kent State. This episode came out a little under three months before it happened.
@Mike Bluet Gee, imagine if the show was on today. It would be mostly political nonsense. I agree 100% with what you say. Gomer Pyle was pretty much the same with Vietnam. You never heard any reference to the war except for the one show when the Hippies sang Blowin In The Wind with Gomer, who was painting the Mobile Command Truck. They did shows on the draft a few times. The Lucy Show where she was drafted Lou C Carmichael, or this show when Arnold got drafted. Everybody had that Ed Sullivan attitude(Don't use the word higher to Jim Morrison and the Doors) Today it's a free for all, with no limits on what you can say, or show. TV has truly evolved for better, or worse. Everyone would agree that it's one or the other. Lol! I just remembered, Danny Partridge also got drafted on his show. Everyone got drafted! I know the feeling of getting a draft notice in the mail. The only person who usually worried about it was your mother.
This was my first experience with Green Acres. The absurdity hit me right away, even as a kid. Now an adult, I watch Green Acres every weeknight. It's wonderful
The teacher was one of the Baldwin sisters from the Waltons.The kids don't seem to think it's odd that a pig would be a student.Johnny Whitaker sure played on several sitcoms back then.I watched Family Affair when new.He played on some old Disney movies, too.The principal looks like someone from the 1890's.
@ Michelle Post... I went to school with a lot of pigs so what's the big deal... you sound a bit racist when it comes to pigs... but I bet you like getting "porked" as long as no one finds out about it.
Disobeying your principal in 1970 at my school would result in an introduction to the “board of education”. 🤣😂🤣 And then mom and dad would finish the job. 😁
Agree with you on that. Talking back to the teacher or lord forbid the principal was something you just didn’t do or even think about. And if the school secretary had to call your parents at work, you’d better be sick or separated from an appendage otherwise there’d be hell to pay.
Hi Arthur. The episode named "The Confrontation" did air on February 14th but it was 1970 - so a little before Kent State. (Green Acres series run ended in 1971 with CBS's "rural purge.")
@ Nick Hill... nowhere near as funny as these shows... I was entering 9th grade when Green Acres hit the air waves, the 1st season was a little lame as they were setting up the format but still funny... after that it was hilarious... the actors grew into their roles, especially Alvy Moore's Hank Kimball... I would of loved to have been able to sit with the writers when they were doing these scripts... I bet that would of been something to listen to
@@carlpen850 It would be interesting to sit down with the writers. Hey let's get a pig and let everyone treat him like he's human. Let's put the telephone outside on a pole. How about having the bedroom closet used as a door. I bet you were funny.
@@nickhill8612 when I first moved off-grid 12 years ago, our only neighbor had a phone inside a locked box on a telephone pole a mile from his house. I couldn't believe it the first time I saw him standing on the side of the dirt road with all his dogs, chatting on a landline! I thought this was only a "Green Acres" contrivance, but apparently not that uncommon. My neighbor passed in 2006, but until then that was his only phone!
I just adopted an adorable pot bellied pig, and I named him Douglas after a wonderful professional counselor on UA-cam who has helped me so much get through major depression. I had forgotten about "Mr. Douglas" of "Green Acres". I call my new buddy "Duggy" for a nickname. He loves to dig, and I hated his former name, "Bacon". Yeah, he might have ended up on someone's BBQ. I couldn't let that happen! I always loved Arnold, and I can now attest to the fact that pigs are extremely smart! This one should have me well trained within a month or so. He's already convinced me that I must clean out the spare room I've been storing junk in so that he can have his own bedroom. This pig is a great influence!
Please watch "The confrontation" episode of the 1970 show "Green Acres." The teacher introduces a new word, "Porcupine." Arnold Ziffle, a pig, objects. The Teacher responds, "It is not that kind of pork."
When I saw him had to check out the dates. Family Affair was still in progress, during its run he appeared in 5 other series (including this) as a guest star. Pretty amazing.
Only on "Green Acres" could you have Jody from "A Family Affair" fire a spitball at one of the Baldwin Sisters from "The Waltons". She should have given all those kids a big glass of The Recipe to calm them down...
Eddie Albert's explanation to the students about "abiding by the rules" otherwise kaos would ensue (01:22) predicted exactly what would happen in the US schools 50 years later
Carl Pen, America’s founding fathers revolted against tyranny and in favor of liberty and freedom. SJWs are revolting against liberty and freedom in favor of tyranny.
@ Babble History Science... yep, your comment is what I expect from someone who uses The Goat Herder's Guide to the Universe as their reference point for history and science.
Hey! You'd have to be talkin' about one charming' motherfuckin' pig! I mean, he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
In the 60s that kind of abuse from school administrators was still acceptable. Tragic and sad that Johnny was reduced to "Jody" - a pathetic shell of his former self.
@@ShatnerMethod Around 1965 I was in first grade. My teacher was Mrs. Segal and she was wonderful. However, there was another first grade teacher, Mrs. Soboron, who was really mean. She was in her 60s or so and had white curly hair and wore glasses. One day Mrs. Segal was out sick or something so we had to go to Mrs. Soboron's class for the day. We had a slow boy in our class, Alfred. I forget exactly what he did to merit Mrs. Soboron's wrath, but she actually had him crawl into her waste basket under her desk and started hitting or kicking him!! We were only little first graders so nobody said anything. My mother was a member of the PTA and she would come home and tell me that parents were complaining about Mrs. Soboron. That was very very unusual in those days, it was always the teacher who complained about the student and the parent would yell at the student, but in her case parents were complaining about her!
@@rtususian What a horrid story. I knew both great and rotten teachers in elementary school too: none as bad as Mrs. Soboron sounds, though. Here's a story, out of the even more abusive '50s - but with a cool ending: When George Harrison was a kid his brutal teacher sent him home with a big welt on his arm. The next day George's Dad knocked on the door while the class was on and asked the teacher if he was the one who had hit his son, George. When the teacher said yes, George's father decked him with one punch right there in front of all the kids. Paul McCartney said, after that, George's Dad was the most popular man around school for a very long time.
I always thought this show was too silly and didn't make any sense. Wasn't one of my favs. Now though watching Arnold the pig in the episodes which do carry him I realize the classic Arnold is. Lol
Arnold Ziffel was one of the great actors of his era.
@ 7th Mist... yes he was but I heard that at times he could be quite pig headed
Seventh Mist
as good as Clyde from Any Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can

His delivery and timing were impeccable
@Lewis 970 At least he brought home the bacon.
Many years ago I ran into Pat Buttram who played Mr. Haney. He went on and on about Arnold Ziffle.
God I loved this show. It was surreal, theater of the absurd, and damn funny. Sharp writing and terrific character actors. And Arnold the Pig!
Green Acres....underrated.
To the masses, perhaps, but beloved to those of us who "get it"...
So true I almost wet my pants watching this episode so funny.😁😁😁 kinda reminds me of an old laurel and hardy short.
One of the few shows from that era I still find hilarious.
Watch it every day on CHCH. Too bad they have trigger warnings before half the episodes.
Underrated by whom ? This was the number 1 show in the 60s ..

At least it's the right one to be a teacher. The other one (Mamie) would have kept drifting off and dreaming about Ashley Longworth.
Did she partake of "papa's recipe" after Arnold was sent to the principal's office?
Her true lost love. Lol
Miss Mamie, I believe.
And the lead student is Jody from Family Affair.
This clip is still funny fifty years later. It satirized the protest movement of the late 60s perfectly.

Now an adult, I watch Green Acres every weeknight. It's wonderful
This show was like the Outer Limits of sitcoms.
This show oddly gets funnier over time ??
That's what I said, I really get a good laugh watching this again.
The end of the last season in '71, before the Rural Purge, was different and therefore not funny.
My God, today in the millennial era, Arnold would be valedictorian.

Incredible funny show, I the same age as those kids when this first aired in the early 1960's
GA premiered in the middle of the decade, and this episode aired in 1970.
The same kid that framed Arnold is pushing hardest for his reinstatement. Probably something Eric Cartman might do.

Johnnie Whitaker was the one who hit the teacher, Mrs. Maxwell, with a softball. He should have been expelled instead of Arnold.
Yes, he should have been "expelled" Arnold did not hit Mrs. Maxwell with the spitball he only ate someone's lunch.
Diane Newman: I meant a spitball instead. Sorry.

Somehow you totally missed such a simple joke.

GA premiered one year before FA (1965). Both series ended in early 1971.
