Green Acres (Seasons 1–6)

Green Acres (1965–1971) — watch online on iFILM. Six seasons of CBS sitcom built on one perfect mismatch: Manhattan lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas finally buys the farm he has always dreamed of, drags reluctant socialite wife Lisa to rural Hooterville, and quickly discovers that neither the house nor the neighbors operate the way he expected.

Oliver patches fences, plants crops, and battles county bureaucracy while Lisa drifts through it all, cooking inedible food with total confidence and finding rural life charming in ways he never does. Produced by Filmways as a companion to Petticoat Junction, the show ran until 1971, when CBS swept it off the air as part of a corporate reset that cancelled nearly every rural comedy in its lineup.

What makes it stick: the inversion. The city man with the law degree tries to impose order on a town that runs on its own surreal logic and always wins. Stream all six seasons of Green Acres on iFILM.
