At the time of filming, Eddie Albert was 83 years old, Eva Gabor: 70, Tom Lester: 51, Pat Buttram: 74, Mary Grace Canfield: 65, Sid Melton: 72, Alvy Moore: 68, Frank Cady: 74. All outwardly changed very little, and all in perfect character. What a charming, lovable group, in a charming, lovable story. Best reunion movie I've ever seen! Can't believe I missed it when it was new. Rest In Peace, all of you.
Oh Wow! How blessed we were to experience shows like Greenacres, The Beverley Hillbillies, I Dream of Jeanie, Petticoat Junction and Mr. Ed… and the list in no way stops there. I could go on and on-there were so many UPLIFTING, original shows compared to what we see in 2022! Or am I just an old sucker for these superb shows of my childhood?
My entire family loved this show - along with Beverly Hillbillies and of course, Petticoat Junction. All three sitcoms were 'tied' together with relatives and friends throughout the series lifetime. Life was simpler in many ways in the 60's and these shows were good old fashioned 'fun!' You didn't need an iPhone or iPad to make yourself laugh. Humor was found in these kinds of tv shows and fondly remembered today! God Bless all of the actors and actresses who made LIFE FUN!
Actually there were 4 shows the one most forgot show was Mr Ed . I have to jar my memory and watch Mr Ed. I was too little to remember the plot of each show. And my elders thought the show was corny but I liked the show. What does a three or four year old know about these things. 73
>You didn't need an iPhone or iPad to make yourself laugh. These two devices can be used to watch Green Acres and lots of these other classic shows that bring so much joy. Please don't generalize and act like all phones and iPads are evil. They have a huge part in keeping the classics alive.
You don't even need iphones and I pads to watch these shows they are on Me TV. Over the air is what TV is supposed to be. But the cable company made a racket of TV. I say if you pay for TV there should be no commercials. But the cable companies made a racket of the whole thing. The general cost of internet should be 15 dollars a month but the cable companies made a racket here as well I'm glad I cut the cord even on internet. My cell phone I figure is 10 dollars for iphone (voice) and 15 dollars for internet which is 25 dollars including tax. 73
I so agree with you :-) It's as if the entire 1960s were the height of the harmless, humorous art of the sitcom. What a superb TV era we all enjoyed! :-)

Rest in peace Tom (Eb) Lester, who recently died April 20, 2020 at 81, who played a Nice Guy on Green acres but he was a even better person in real life gone to be with the LORD.
@Diane Newman Upson Pratt said "Eb wasn't really that nice..." He said nothing about Tom Lester. I don't know Upson, but I'm pretty sure he understands that.
I don't care what anyone says this is one of the better television movies. Eddie Albert still played Oliver Wendell Douglas and Eva Gabor still played Lisa Douglas no one was replaced. I'm glad we have this one last reunion movie to treasure from the funniest classic TV show of all-time.
When I was a young boy in the 1960's I would race home from school every Wednesday so that we could wolf down one of mom's delicious homemade dinners; the ultimate goal was to be finished in time to watch *'Green Acres'* as a family. I was just a little kid when it first aired, I'm an old man now but I still love that wonderful old program. I sure feel sorry for kids today, all they have are shows about gloom, doom, perverted sex, and death; nothing but negative things! When we ole Boomers were kids, we had wonderful family shows to entertain us without the unnecessary sex, death, and other adult themes which we were far too young to understand. I sure miss those much more innocent days of our youth.
Yep, I am now on my second pet pig (first passed away at almost 20 years old) All due to watching Arnold on Green Acres. And I am so in love with pigs, they are so smart and so sweet! I also have a huge garden, compost and some call it a mini farm!
@@micahlouise9539 What an awesome story! We also have a 'mini-farm' now that we are retired, living out here in the Dutch countryside is like heaven for us! Even though I was raised on a farm we only had chickens, horses, and cows, no pigs. But, our neighbor had pigs and whenever I would go to his farm to help out with the chores (when he was sick) after doing the chores I would spend some time with the pigs; they were so much fun to play with, so kind and smart too! In my experience, they seemed much more intelligent than dogs. (nothing against 'Man's Best Friend') Later in my life, after I was married and good jobs were scarce as hen's teeth, I had to take whatever job I could get; so, reluctantly I took a job at a slaughterhouse. I won't go into the morbid details but, it was obvious to me that those poor animals knew exactly what was happening to them. I still have nightmares from that time in my life. Anyway, May I ask, was it easy to potty-train your pet pig? And, what is it like having a pig as a pet? My wife and I have been thinking seriously of getting a pig as a pet now that our children are gone. If we do get a pig, male or female its name is going to be 'Arnold'! 🐷 Thank you.
I miss the original Green Acres. I used to watch it with my father in the 70s. It's one of the best shows that they had out there. I miss all the original cast rest in peace
I absolutely agree! Especially the way the show was canceled.....Such a shame it was......But great to see this reunion and indeed a final Farwell ! ❤😢😢😢😢 You all are very much missed.......
My husband LOVED this show. We taped it at night and watched it the next morning. He would laugh until he cried-every episode. I often told him that I would rather watch him than show.
@@waynemarvin5661 I didn’t tape the show in the 60s. We had DISH, which aired the show. My husband had a terminal illness and couldn’t stay up until the show aired. We taped it so he could watch it the next day. His illness confined him to the house, and watching this show brought laughter into his life for a short while each morning.
Just bought season one for $3 at Salvation Army, now I can't stop watching. I remember watching this movie at its premier... surprised at how spry the elderly cast was....captured the original charm unlike many other reunions.
Yeah, sad. In honor of all the deceased cast members of Green Acres, I decided to name my island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons "GreenAcres". Heck, it even plays the first seven notes of the theme song for the island tune.
@@sterlingpless4335 he was in an episode of ''The Outer Limits'' the season b4 'Green Acres' started, and he told his wife, in that episode, ''Cry of Silence'', that, when they got back home, he give up the idea of living on a farm!..hilarious coincidence!.....
I am happy to see such a successful reunion of the original characters. I think they are all gems and I fell in love with each one just when I thought I had a favorite, I couldnt help but appreciate another one as much. I hate to say I think the movie hadnt done the casr or their effort justice but it somehjow had fell short here and thete of its potential. Not going to linger on negative critique because the cast is really too much fun for that. I wish I could thank them but I too have come upon this movie way too late. Thankz for sharing it.
I cannot believe this has 69 unlikes let alone 1....I found Green Acres to be one of the funniest shows I've watched growing up....(my opinion) along with this episode return to green acres I give them all a 9.5....
had to sign in, to put on a 'like.' I'm, only, six minutes in and, enjoying the heck out of this. Especially, nice, to see Pat Buttram & Aly Moore(Hank Agent, your county Kimball...er, that is...)again. I note, also, the Douglases, still, have the blue Lincoln convertible; love it.
I was lucky enough to meet Eddie at his home in the Pacific Palisades community of Los Angeles in 1999. I told him how much I loved Mr. Douglas and Green Acres, and had my picture taken with him. He was so nice!
If you're a fan of the classic series and have just stumbled upon this sequel-come-lately, you'll notice a lot of negative comments. Most of them are justified, but think twice before skipping the movie entirely. Yes, the story and script are indisputably ludicrous, and most of the new characters are cartoonish, but there are occasional flashes of camaraderie that capture the humor of the series: the original cast step back into their roles convincingly, and despite the substandard material they have to work with, their interaction is as strong and sincere as ever. It's worth one watch for that alone, so enjoy those moments between Albert, Gabor, Lester, Cady, Melton, Canfield, and Buttram.....and scan past the rest of the foolish land-takeover plot.
This is definitely "the place for me" no matter who or what tries to affect the charm and community of our unforgettable small town. Stay safe everyone!
I love it!! I didn't even realize that they had made a reunion episode. This was one of my favorites 😊. By 1990, when this was made, life was so much different. They even spoke of the World Trade Centers, and Donald Trump. I hardly watch any television anymore. When most shows are added to the networks that I like, they are cancelled early on. I'm tired of fighting the networks, and I'm finding other options by streaming. 😊🕊🌈❤️
I gave up network too, like Kathleen L. My husband and I watch a lot of Documentaries and I watch a lot of old movies and series on You Tube. Tired of all the political correctness in modern network tv. I'd rather be educated than brainwashed.
by 1990 there was already a demand for 1960s shows as most sitcoms on tv were garbage in 1990. mtv was already dull and ruined by 1990 and so was most top 40 radio. sadly by 1990 the only decent thing on tv was talk shows which were ruined by the late 1990s. this 1990 movie is proof 1960s era tv watchers were still out there.
I had absolutely no clue this existed. I'm 18 watching this, my dad always had old dvds of this show because it turns out my family was related to Eddie, which I've always been fascinated by. So I got a kick out of watching this! R.I.P Eddie.
***** Have you seen "Roman Holiday" yet? That is a fantastic movie from the early 1950's shot in Rome and stars Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck and Eddie Albert who is really a fun character to watch in this film.
I didn't know this greenacres reunions existed. Thanks for sharing... Growing up watching the shows on the first run and now knowing that everybody is just about dead that entertained you. During this month of October 2019, a lot of entertainers have passed away. R i p
Still watch re-runs on tv. Didn't know this Return to Green Acres existed until now. All the characters were funny and made me laugh. Sorry Mr. & Mrs. Ziffel didn't make it to this filming, but appreciate they were shown in the beginning resting in peace and not excluded entirely. Such respect!
@Beumadine Sweevy The Bible has great, scientific accuracy like the following: 1. Round Earth 2. Jet streams 3. Man from soil 4. Never mix flax with linen And much more. There is God!
My fave of this series that was Paul Henning that designed the Beverly Hillbillies....Pettycoat Junction and Green Acres.They sometimes combined the shows and blended them together...!That was the best stuff....!!!
@@davemustaine6694 guess I missed those. Do remember cross overs of several petty coat junction shows where the clampettes and Eddie Albert were at druker's. Sure you aren't thinking of those?
I still watch the old classics of Green Acres on PLUTO tv. It Emma's great seeing the original actors as they are today. The plot of Return to Green Acres was believable......with how things have changed from the 1st episode of the show, to the how it is in world today.
Americans have always valued the 2nd amendment. Back then everyone was armed but they weren't nuts who were encouraged to attack others over differences.
Why did I never know about this movie? Thanks for posting this. I'm really enjoying it! I grew up watching this show. I just looked this up. It was released in 1990.
I watched this first run. Remember the scene of Arnold at the Ziffels graves made me sad, but looking back its good that it was made while so many were still around.
I loved what it said on their headstones. Fred's said, "I'm waiting for you Doris", and Doris`s "Im here Fred". I loved all three of these shows, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. It makes me miss growing up in the country. I wished both of the Beverly Hillbillies reunion movies were up as well.
I remember watching this show years ago back on the Pax reruns. Reminds me of when I lived in Kentucky, absolutely loved it but it was getting impossible to make a living. Here in Maine it's equally beautiful but just as hard. I don't miss some of the small mindedness but I do miss some great people I knew from those days.
I was 8 years old in 1966 when this debuted. One of my favourite sitcoms. Eva Gabor was Miss Hungary 1955 [or was it Zsa Zsa Gabor; her sister?] Eva Gabor learnt English in Austria; hence her German accent.
Green Acres was a fave TV show from my childhood in the 60s. I guess all the cast is dead except for Eb Dawson (played by Tom Lester), and I'm not sure if he's alive now or what. I'm glad they did this return movie as a goodbye for the fans. (UpDate: The initial comment made was 5 years ago before Tom Lester passed away. I was aware of his passing the day he died)
such an innocent time ,and like the carrousel of time from Disney Land of the past Time marches on. Thanks for posting this I never knew there was a reunion
Thank you for this Victor. Me and my husband were newlyweds when this originally aired. So I missed some of this here and there when it first aired lol. This takes me way back to my childhood in the country.
Cable tv was invented in the late 1940s. However, commercial cable wasn't widespread until the late 70s/early 80s. It was around in limited markets when Green Acres originally aired.
I join the many people that can't understand the negative comments and thumbs down. This film is Great! I still watch the origional today. To get to see the cast to return many years later is a treat. RIP to the ones that are gone. But they will live forever in the true fans hearts .
I was 13 in 1965 and didn't see much of the episodes over the years except on the "oldies TV" channels Recently received the entire 6 year series and they're all funny! Loved Fred, Doris and Arnold Ziffle and sorry to see as the characters passed away over the years. Wouldn't it be fantastic if there was a place like "Hooterville" to visit in heaven and experience some funny situations with the characters. Had to get " The Hooterville Handbook: A Viewer's Guide To Green Acres" for better synapses and information of the episodes and the actors. 🙏 Thank you for posting this wonderful movie. Loved the way it went "full circle. "The ending was like the beginning of the series with Oliver falling through the floor into the "root cellar" Only this time Lisa joined him. 🥰
Thx for posting, somehow I missed this. While it didn't feel like Green Acers it sure was nice to see everyone and was good to see how Oliver and Lisa had grown gor the better‼
I've heard about it... but since I wasn't living in a country where I could watch it on television... Thank you so much for this! I love Green Acres! :D
@ONNIE TALONE ...I don't understand it anyway Ed Ziffle was a pig farmer.. so didn't he raise other pigs to be butched isn't that what pig farmers do? So what did Arnold think of that?...

...that is so STUPID couldn't he just use a cordless phone by then????....or hook a extension phone up to it himself and put it in the house?...?????
Alf and Ralph just got paid to play around and or sit on there butt mostly I guess ....not to do any actuall work.....
Typical Contractor,
Sounds like anyone who ever worked on my house. Or at least it seemed like 30 years.
I grew up on this show, I sure do love it.
This movie was made in 1990. Love Green Acres. Watched the show growing up in the 60's and 70's. Thanks for posting.
Great years Adams family , green acres , the munsters,Beverly hillbillys,clean family friendly shows , Saturday cartoons , missing those days
I had absolutely no clue this existed. I'm 18 watching this, my dad always had old dvds of this show because it turns out my family was related to Eddie, which I've always been fascinated by. So I got a kick out of watching this! R.I.P Eddie.
Eddie Albert was a GREAT actor !
Vin G he was weird in real life....my friend worked with him,.
***** How fun for you to see him in these wonderful shows.....thanks for posting!
*****
Have you seen "Roman Holiday" yet? That is a fantastic movie from the early 1950's shot in Rome and stars Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck and Eddie Albert who is really a fun character to watch in this film.
Its on dvd too!!
God rest Tom Lesters soul. Last survivor of Green Acres. 1938 2020.
Tom Lester passed away April 20,2020 , I am sooo sad to have hear that he passed away , he will be missed by everyone RIP EB
He was a real good guy
He was a good man.
Love this ! Thanks for posting. of the best shows of the 60’s!! Sad so many of them gone😔
I didn't know this greenacres reunions existed. Thanks for sharing...
Growing up watching the shows on the first run and now knowing that everybody is just about dead that entertained you. During this month of October 2019, a lot of entertainers have passed away. R i p
Eddie Albert was amazing he was 84 at the time he played this role loved the nostalgia of the film.
I had to check for facts. And they're right! Geez, 84 and doing this job!
I sure miss all these old shows green acres and Gillilan island and the love boat the funnies shows when I was growing up!!!!
Are you dawn wells sister ?
@Thou Swell I don’t know.
Well, to be fair, it was a couple notches above that Gilligan's Island reunion show.
..and why not a Pitticoat Junction reunion. They never did one.
Still watch re-runs on tv. Didn't know this Return to Green Acres existed until now. All the characters were funny and made me laugh. Sorry Mr. & Mrs. Ziffel didn't make it to this filming, but appreciate they were shown in the beginning resting in peace and not excluded entirely. Such respect!
Thank you for posting this. I am viewing it again, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the premiere of 'Green Acres'.
That's awesome.
Loved this, reminds me of better days. THANK-YOU so much...
The beginning was sad,to see the Ziffels pass away :(
@Beumadine Sweevy Amen. I agree❣
@Beumadine Sweevy The Bible has great, scientific accuracy like the following:
1. Round Earth
2. Jet streams
3. Man from soil
4. Never mix flax with linen
And much more. There is God!
They were already quite old.
@@lawrencescott1048 Fran Ryan was still alive at time of this TV movie's making!
*THANK YOU* for this upload! A fantastic coda to a truly amazing series! Green Acres is still the place for me!!!
The most beautiful and precious thing I have ever seen in my life! Thank you. God bless you😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😘😘😘😘😘😘🔥🔥🔥🔥😘😘😘🔥🔥🔥😘😘😘😘😘😘🔥🔥
Green Acres is my favorite show, but I'd never seen the movie. I loved every minute of this. Felt just like the series.
Thank you so much for posting this! I didn't know it existed!!
+Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc Nor did I.
Love green acres tv show especially mr haney
1.6 MILLION VIEWS. 🙂♥️♥️♥️
Thank you very much for sharing this.
GREEN ACRES...It's the place to be :)
My fave of this series that was Paul Henning that designed the Beverly Hillbillies....Pettycoat Junction and Green Acres.They sometimes combined the shows and blended them together...!That was the best stuff....!!!
They never combined green acres and Beverly hillbillies though-go figure
@@danielsmit11 yes they did more than once.
@@davemustaine6694 guess I missed those. Do remember cross overs of several petty coat junction shows where the clampettes and Eddie Albert were at druker's. Sure you aren't thinking of those?
I don't care what anyone says...Alvy Moore still has it...
loool
May 2019.... I did not know this movie existed until now. I grew up watching Green Acres from the beginning. I'm 61 years old right now.
You never know when more fun and overcoming misunderstanding will "sprout up"!
F TROOP TOO
I still watch the old classics of Green Acres on PLUTO tv. It Emma's great seeing the original actors as they are today. The plot of Return to Green Acres was believable......with how things have changed from the 1st episode of the show, to the how it is in world today.
Love the Green Acres every since the first episode. when I was nine years old! 💯♥️🎶🎶🎶🎶♥️
Hooterville, how much I miss watching you on my TV screen.
Every episode is now available on Amazon.
NO GUNS IN USA BACK THEN.
Americans have always valued the 2nd amendment. Back then everyone was armed but they weren't nuts who were encouraged to attack others over differences.
Why did I never know about this movie? Thanks for posting this. I'm really enjoying it!
I grew up watching this show. I just looked this up. It was released in 1990.
This was the best movie I have seen for a month of Sundays! This was my Sunday funday, for sure!
I watched this first run. Remember the scene of Arnold at the Ziffels graves made me sad, but looking back its good that it was made while so many were still around.
JWLJN Green Acres was
And now Eb is the only living one.
The Pastor?
I loved what it said on their headstones. Fred's said, "I'm waiting for you Doris", and Doris`s "Im here Fred". I loved all three of these shows, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. It makes me miss growing up in the country. I wished both of the Beverly Hillbillies reunion movies were up as well.
I feel sorry for the world today,and what's sad it's getting worst and worst every day
"Worse and Worse"!
@@phillipstephens1175 Bothers you too? Public education.....our children are being abused and taught nothing but crap like Heather has two mommies.
People either forgot or never learned the very basics of English! Good grammar is a plus to anyone..
Grew up watching this crazy show 😂. Love it !!!
Amazing. I never knew this follow-up epidode years later existed until just seeing it pop up on my CZcams.
Brings back memories wish 😆wish I could find a Town like that
So I could move.
one of the best show's ever
I never saw this Episode and I hear the Hoyt Clagwell is actually an "F Model Ford" run smoothly .. it almost never ran on the show ..
Ha ha - this was filmed on an indoor sound stage. If they were to start it indoors it would really stink the whole place up.
I remember watching this show years ago back on the Pax reruns. Reminds me of when I lived in Kentucky, absolutely loved it but it was getting impossible to make a living. Here in Maine it's equally beautiful but just as hard. I don't miss some of the small mindedness but I do miss some great people I knew from those days.
I was 8 years old in 1966 when this debuted. One of my favourite sitcoms. Eva Gabor was Miss Hungary 1955 [or was it Zsa Zsa Gabor; her sister?] Eva Gabor learnt English in Austria; hence her German accent.
Zsa Zsa was Miss Hungary in 1936
All of the green acres all of them beautiful yes.
Kiss my 🐖 pig!!!...oink oink!
Green Acres was a fave TV show from my childhood in the 60s. I guess all the cast is dead except for Eb Dawson (played by Tom Lester), and I'm not sure if he's alive now or what. I'm glad they did this return movie as a goodbye for the fans. (UpDate: The initial comment made was 5 years ago before Tom Lester passed away. I was aware of his passing the day he died)
ImTheDaveman Yes, Tom is still alive at 76.
ImTheDaveman David Conn Jonestown
ImTheDaveman yep Eb Dawson is still living he's 79 years old I just looked up his wip
Wata about ARNOLD ?😐
Tom is the only surviving cast member from Green acres.@@tubefluid
brought back memories of my childhood. green acres is just wholesome television. you cant find that anymore.
such an innocent time ,and like the carrousel of time from Disney Land of the past Time marches on. Thanks for posting this I never knew there was a reunion
And "there's a great big beautiful tomorrow" built out of our incredible and unforgettable past.🎯🤝🏾🌠🏃🏾♂️🌊🌅
@@KendrickHarrisKenfinity JR DALLAS
Victor, I think you did a great job here. Thank You.
Wish they had more comedy I miss those shows
Can't, everything is inappropriate.
Thank you for this Victor. Me and my husband were newlyweds when this originally aired. So I missed some of this here and there when it first aired lol. This takes me way back to my childhood in the country.
I love The Green Acres Show!!! Did not know they did a Return. Thanx
there was nobody like Mr.Kimball he made the show
No he didn't.
Hank didn't "make" the show but he was good in it. Sorta.
AbsoluteTruthSpoken😂😂😂
Who was Mr Kimble I don't remember him..... Lol...
Couldn't stand Mr. Kimball. Mr. Haney made the show!
I loved watching green acres that show was funny 😂
Yes I love all these old classic shows
Thanks Victor! I had never seen this before, and I was a fan of the original.
Awesome! brought back some childhood memories! Thank you!
I grew up watching Green Acres with my grandfather on Nick At Nite and still don't remember this reunion. Maybe I was more obsessed with Barbara Eden?
+agp1209 ahahahhahahahahaha!
+Dana Butler I think the reunion was only televised via CBS.
+Dana Butler every episode you watched was a rerun. cable wasnt even thought of when Green Acres aired.
Cable tv was invented in the late 1940s. However, commercial cable wasn't widespread until the late 70s/early 80s. It was around in limited markets when Green Acres originally aired.
Loved Green acres as a kid I still do !! Great family Show !!
I join the many people that can't understand the negative comments and thumbs down. This film is Great! I still watch the origional today. To get to see the cast to return many years later is a treat. RIP to the ones that are gone. But they will live forever in the true fans hearts .
What a wonderful show, I will miss all the characters. RIP
Pat Buttram was my second cousin from Alabama...met him twice he was about the same day to day as you see him on screen
Thanx for sharing this gem( diamond) Love it❣👍🏼👍🏼
One of the best TV Shows ever! Thanks
I was 13 in 1965 and didn't see much of the episodes over the years
except on the "oldies TV" channels Recently received the entire 6 year
series and they're all funny! Loved Fred, Doris and Arnold Ziffle and
sorry to see as the characters passed away over the years. Wouldn't
it be fantastic if there was a place like "Hooterville" to visit in heaven
and experience some funny situations with the characters. Had to get
" The Hooterville Handbook: A Viewer's Guide To Green Acres" for better
synapses and information of the episodes and the actors. 🙏 Thank
you for posting this wonderful movie. Loved the way it went "full circle.
"The ending was like the beginning of the series with Oliver falling through
the floor into the "root cellar" Only this time Lisa joined him. 🥰
I was -2 in 1965
Now it can be like watching them for the first time. :)
@@lensquires8466 Yes
Arnold says welcome home
hahaha
I do remember the square egg.
@@simpleman283 me too
I was not aware that this existed. Thank you for the post ~
Best show, EVER!
Thank you for posting this. Much appreciated.
☘️🌝🌲
Thx for posting, somehow I missed this. While it didn't feel like Green Acers it sure was nice to see everyone and was good to see how Oliver and Lisa had grown gor the better‼
I've heard about it... but since I wasn't living in a country where I could watch it on television... Thank you so much for this! I love Green Acres! :D
this shit is better than most of the crap TV has today
Sureya Vettes o
The only thing that is shit is Michael Moore
Sureya Vettes That truth. One greatest film movie.
No it's not.
@ONNIE TALONE ...I don't understand it anyway Ed Ziffle was a pig farmer.. so didn't he raise other pigs to be butched isn't that what pig farmers do? So what did Arnold think of that?...
Watching this Video is Therapy. It Comforts me !!! Keep theses Video coming ....... because I’m Sharing ( Michigan ) 💜☦️💜
Green Acres is my all time favorite shows that always made Me.Laugh Out Loud. Thanks
