Green Acres

Green Acres is a spin off from The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction, set in Hooterville and Pixley, Kentucky (fictional unincorporated areas of Lexington) ... with significant inspiration from Eldon, Missouri. It is the only series in the franchise to have every episode made in color, and was canceled with many other Situation Comedies in 1971. It was revisited later with a movie Return To Green Acres. In the Hooterville - Pixley area has a heritage rail line with a steam locomotive. Otherwise this area along with many other rural areas have been forgotten and neglected until the franchise seeks to undo this oversight in this case through the eyes of starring character Oliver Wendell Douglas and equally concerned wife Lisa. A successful attorney / heiress couple has plenty of capital to invest in their 160 acres of land and through the course of the series ... the entire area also. It does not take long before Oliver is revealed to be a Dreamer with little knowledge of how to get a farm past the planning stages. Lisa, along with every other character, objects to Oliver's passion for farming, is discovered to be inept at cooking and housekeeping. Both of them now reside on their farm and learn to cope with their shady construction workers trying to help them expand it, as well as the local telephone company.
