What was Eddie Albert's character's full name on Green Acres?
The main character of Green Acres is Oliver Wendell Douglas. This TV-show is about a lawyer from New York who wants to become a farmer. His permanent companion is Lisa Douglas, his glamorous Hungarian wife (Eva Gabor). Lisa doesn't want to barter away her happy life in a city and move to some shabby farm.
The debut episode was a mockumentary about their decision to move to a rural area, anchored by former ABC newscaster John Charles Daly. After the first episodes, the series developed an absurdest world.
Though many episodes were still standard 1960s sitcom fare, the show became notable for its surrealism and unrepeatable satire.
