One of the most surreal shows ever on television. This one was different from most shows at the time or now. This episode is the one I think of the most. Chickens laying square eggs and toasters operating when you say… “Five” and the newer models operating when you say… “eight”
Probably the most outrageous episode of Green Acres. And that is saying something.
“Well, you know the old saying: you can lead a horse over the water, but you can’t make him think.”
Well, it should’t be too hard to find out, all we gotta do is look for a square chicken
GREEN ACRES – Square Is Not Round
This episode is the one I think of the most. Chickens laying square eggs and toasters operating when you say… “Five” and the newer models operating when you say… “eight” The Characters: Oliver and Lisa Douglas, Mr. Haney, Mr. Kimball, Eb Dawson, Fred Ziffel, Sam Drucker, Newt Kiley, Mr. Moody, and Arnold.
Oliver discovers that one of his chickens is laying square eggs, but he can’t find out which one it is. In addition, he finds out that he has a toaster that only works when you say the word “five”. When he mentions this to the boys at Drucker’s, they sympathize with him for having an old model–they have new models that only work when you say “eight”.
Mr. Kimball tells him about a man that would buy the chickens because square eggs would revolutionize shipping them. Mr. Haney comes by and wants to buy his “defective” chickens back but Oliver won’t budge. Mr. Moody comes and buys the chickens but they don’t lay any square eggs for him so he gives them back after stopping payment on the check he gave Oliver.
There is something else in the end but you need to watch it.

Before I rewatched it I thought it was just a corny show about country living…but no the Simpsons was heavily inspired by it. They break the 4th wall a lot through the show.

I think what I loved about this show was how it would cross-over with Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies. There were some great characters on this show. Mr. Haney always cracked me up.

Mr. Haney and Hank Kimball make the show at times.
Yes I like the universe they created…but the other ones are not as surreal as Green Acres. I love when Lisa sees the credits on the screen and talks about them.

The Simpsons Matt Groening did the forward on the book of Green Acres – both genius shows. Top sitcom of the 60’s, there is no competition, not even close. Good choice of episode, prob my fave one of all. I have just managed to get the final 3 series on DVD at long last!

I totally agree with you. People lump this with other country shows…you cannot lump this with anything else…it is in it’s own category.
Matt Groening is great…the Simpsons do carry on the tradition.
