Green Acres is an American television sitcom that ran on CBS from 1965 through 1971. It was canceled along with Hee Haw and The Beverly Hillybillies in the networks bid to bring more urban and fresh material, even though the show received its highest ratings the last year it aired. The story centered on a couple, one from the country (Eddie Albert as Oliver Wendell Douglas) and one from the city (Eva Gabor as Lisa Douglas), that made their life on a small farm in the rural town of Hooterville. Their next door neighbors live with their pig who watches television and is treated as a member of the family. It is rumored that after the finale the cast ate the pig. There were several different pigs used in the filming, and that cast said in an interview they never ate any of them.
