1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!, April 29, 2001

By 

TranFan (Friday Harbor, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Green Acres [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If I could, I would rate this product NEGATIVE five stars. This has got to be the worst tape I've ever seen. The picture quality is as though it were recorded off brodcast TV (with poor reception!). The beloved Green Acres theme song has been replaced with some instrumental muzak nonsense. And to cap it off it has BEEN CUT FOR COMMERCIALS!!!! That's right, you do not get to see it in it's original form!! The sale of this tape should be a crime! This product makes Amazon look very, very bad, and I hope they will pull it from their "shelves". PLEASE, PLEASE do not make the same mistake I did.... DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO!!!!

This review is from: Green Acres [VHS] (VHS Tape)

So might say Mr. Kimball about one of my favorite TV shows of all time (lest we forget the original Twilight Zone).

This is the only show that I can enjoy even more at the age of 33 than I did at 8. The humor is sophmoric and sophisticated at the same time. There's even subtle humor. For instance, in one episode (not in this collection) Lisa (Eva) is sitting in front of a mirror staring at a myriad of cosmetics. She states, "These aren't even mine. They're my sister's." Is that a diss or what?

These first two episodes are good but not yet up to pace yet. The first episode depicts, documentary style, how Oliver acquired "rustic" Green Acres. The second episode involves settling in and Lisa's introduction to cooking, serving up a plate of cement pancakes and thick black coffee.

This collection includes actual ads from 1965, which is kind of cool. I like the Playskool Camper spot, and also the Sears Dynaglass tire ad with the old Sears logo. Memories.

Buy this if you love Green Acres. It's certainly a bargain. Only one weird thing. The theme song is different. Huh.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wait for a decent dvd, May 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Acres [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These are four very early episodes, before the series hit its stride. The quality of the prints is poor, and the original theme music has been replaced by an instrumental knockoff. Better to wait for dvds with the original soundtrack and the livelier, more surreal, later episodes.
