"Green Acres" runs on weeknights while "Petticoat Junction" is on before most people get up on Saturday mornings

ETA: About the only episode of "Green Acres" that I liked was the pilot episode which John Daly of What's My Line? narrated.

Ridiculousness. It's still on and has been for years. I have no idea why. Who watches that? brush Nov 2023 #7

What show are you referring to? I am confused. Sorry. debm55 Nov 2023 #9
