Eddie Albert during WW2, was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.

Great interview with two stars with fabulous chemistry and who genuinely loved their show and defended it against that pompous critic with class to boot. No show like Green Acres now.

My favorite line of Eddie's on Green Acres was " Oh for the love of" ..... lol

She is every inch the lady I thought she would be. What a sweet spirit about her. Love the respect they show her and it comes so naturally.. And love how they support each other and defend those who are not there to defend themselves. lol "maybe you were drinking".. lol Nothing could sound catty coming out of that pretty face and accent.

Merv Griffin was awful as a host this time. Eva Gabor's face looked gaunt in black and white television. Eddie Albert handled the TV Guide critic with grace. My name is Mr. Haney.

The casual viewers of Green Acres, or those that we're only somewhat aware of its existence, thought the program frivolous and perhaps "cute" at best, no doubt. Those of us who watched weekly and obsessively knew better. It was a consistently well-written satire that poked fun at stuffed-shirts and institutions of all stripes. As it went along, it became the first surrealistic comedy ever on television. Ahead of its time by leaps and bounds.

Ahhh breathe of classy era from yesteryear nowhere to be found today in Hollyweird!

Im 57, and I watch it evey week night. It makes modern day television look like the garbage it is.

Green acres is one of the few shows from that time that is still funny today.

Eva was a sweet dear woman and Eddie was a true to life brave war hero, he was picking up wounded Marines from a beach head in WWII under constant Japanese machine gun fire, he was a Coast Guardsman who was a coxswain of a landing craft. Shows like Merv Griffin look like they were vary entertaining, no foul mouth rappers, psychotic LBGT-XYZ loonies, or militant demented social worriers.
