Poll question: What is your favorite Paul Henning produced show?
Paul Henning struck gold (or is that Texas Tea?) in the 60's with Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres--do you have a favorite?

1. Dahling...
Green Acres is my favorite show of all time. Sheer absurdity.

2. The more I see that show, the more I appreciate it
It's a very strange, somewhat surreal show, sort of like Salvador Dali down on the farm.

3. Green Acres!
The most deliberately stupid show that's ever been on TV. Henning pulled every idiot move that was possible at the time--and even invented a few!

:smoke:

BIG Arnold Ziffel fan.

5. Not Henning - Sommers
Henning just produced, it created by Jay Sommers.

It was written Jay Sommers and Dick Chevalier. They are the true genius behind Green Acres.

4. Petticoat Junction--rotten show, but the filthiest thing in TV history
Filth has to count for something, right?

"Lots of curves? You bet. Even more when you get to the junction."

When the Zalman King movie "Two Moon Junction" came out I was sort of appalled by the title, then realized (for the first time) I had grown up with essentially the same entendre without realizing it.
