- THE SHOW WAS BASED ON A RADIO PROGRAM CALLED “GRANBY’S GREEN ACRES.” Like other early TV shows, Green Acres had its roots in an old radio show. “Granby’s Green Acres” had the same basic premise about a banker-turned-farmer who knew more about growing funds than crops.
- THE WHOLE RIDICULOUS PREMISE WAS BASED IN REALITY. If it seems a bit farfetched that a city slicker would leave a lucrative career in finance to rehab a dying farm without knowing a thing about agriculture, well, at least one person has tried it.
- EDDIE ALBERT DIDN'T FIND THE PREMISE RIDICULOUS AT ALL. Eddie Albert, who starred as Oliver Wendell Douglas, had previously eschewed television roles, believing that the medium was "geared to mediocrity."
- BOTH STARS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF THEIR CHARACTERS IN THEM. Albert turned the front yard of his Pacific Palisades house into a cornfield, and also had a large greenhouse in the back where he grew organic vegetables.
