My wife was watching it this morning and howling with laughter. My favorite characters are Haney and Kimble. Stupid but fun show..
Kimble drives my wife crazy…she laughs but wants to strangle him at the same time.
I always liked that show- the side characters especially– Eb.. Ralph and Ralph… Arnold..
I’ve thought about it way too much but it’s not like the other rural shows…it’s more like a cartoon….you are right…the insane Hooterville residents make it. The Ziffels…everyone.
I liked the theme song…and, that was about it.
I didn’t think much of it until I watched it as an adult…then I started to like it a lot…I could see where the Simpsons got some of their humor…but yes I do like the theme song also. Fun to play on the guitar.
one of the greatest sitcoms of all-time, it’s timeless because it lives in its own universe and has little to do with the real world, just wacky characters, great dialogue, playful messing with formats, and a top notch cast. I must post my top-10 sitcoms now….:)
I agree with that completely…When I was a kid watching it in syndication I missed the surreal element completely. Very influential on the Simpsons and others.
I love sitcoms…especially seventies sitcoms like The Bob Newhart Show etc… It was a groundbreaking era…some very good and some forgotten but interesting.
Classic. This and the Beverly Hillbillies makes you wonder how high they were when they wrote some of this stuff.
