When does Green Acres return?

The eight-episode summer series was created by Jay Sommers, who also wrote, produced, and directed. Produced by Filmways as a sister show to Petticoat Junction, the series was first broadcast on CBS, from September 15, 1965, to April 27, 1971. The main theme, composed by Vic Mizzy, is notable as an unusual example of a TV theme song in which the lyrics are sung by the stars of the show (Albert and Gabor), rather than by anonymous session vocalists.
Green Acres is about Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert), a prominent and wealthy New York City attorney, fulfilling his dream to be a farmer. The show is set in the same television universe as Henning's Petticoat Junction, featuring such towns as Hooterville, Pixley, Crabwell Corners, and Stankwell Falls. The main theme, composed by Vic Mizzy, is notable as an unusual example of a TV theme song in which lyrics are sung by the stars of the show (Albert and Gabor), rather than by anonymous session vocalists.
