'Green Acres' cast reunion at the Brown Derby restaurant (1984) 

When the Green Acres cast arrived we were already set-up to shoot using three cameras and an overhead boom mic (seen a bit in a couple of the wide shots). They decided they'd rather have lunch first off-camera and then we'd shoot video while they were having coffee. We placed a small TV on their table and they enjoyed watching a tape of Green Acres clips while having lunch. Some of the video we shot didn't make it into the final edit and I re-edited it for brevity, but I included all the available video that we shot in the restaurant. They all seemed like nice folks and really enjoyed the occasion. I think Pat Buttram's story about Arnold and the banter about the cornfield in front of Eddie Albert's house in Pacific Palisades are just priceless.

I forgot just how beautiful Eva Gabor was. She was just beautiful. What a wonderful face to look at. Wow. I could look at her face for hours. What a great looking lady she was.

Still watching each evening. My evening lineup. 8-9 PM Andy Griffith. 9-9:30 Gomer Pyle. 9:30-10 Green Acres. Just reliving some wonderful childhood memories. 💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗

I was 19 years old in 1984!!! I loved Green Acres, and I watch it still on Amazon Prime Video. It's sad because the last regular cast member, Eb, recently passed away. There all gone Now!!! ♥️😪♥️

Every afternoon after school. Back when TV shows were original and creative, not just poor remakes. Loved it!

One of the top TV comedies of all time. The two main factors that contributed to its success were the excellent cast and well written scripts.

I can't thank you enough for uploading this! Green Acres is and always has been my favorite television show.

Loved them all, including wonderful Eva who seemed so beautiful inside and out. ❤

Such a great show. I loved it most of my life and see every rerun that I can. I met Tom Lester in Tulsa Oklahoma at a youth evangelism conference and he was so pleasant and happy to be here. God bless all who have passed away because our lives were happy when you lived.

Just simply one of the best comedies of all time! Solidly in my top ten. The actors all meshed so well together and were perfect for their roles. And the writing was phenomenal! Great show!

Yay! Green Acres! My favorite show ever.

Wonderful ❤ Wonderful!!! Legendary Brown Derby ...wowwsie

My grandpa (papaw) was kind of proud about attending high school with the actor who played Mr. Haney. One of those "brush with greatness" things, few and far between in central Alabama. They need to do more shows like this, a casual restaurant rather than studio setting. You could see the affection the cast members had for each other. And Eva, that accent!

Marvelous, enchanting, infinitely CLEVER and endearing show. Part of my childhood, and I love it to this day. The cast was SUPERB.

I wish there was more of this I love anything I can find of the Green Acres cast I adore Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert.

It figures that Pat Butram would try to pass off a faux Arnold as the real deal. Mr. Haney lives on!

Eva Gabor looks more lovely than ever.

Crazy, Tom Lester lived 76 miles from me and I never new it.

What a great cast. What a wonderful show. The gags and jokes. Richard Bare wrote a book on directing decades ago and he spoke of the fun they had making Green Acres.

By far the coolest Gabor sister, Eva.

that phone on the utility pole. that got me every time.

what a GEM of a video!!!!! Thanks for posting this, absolutely marvelous!

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction were great sitcoms. Nothing like these shows today.

Eva was still stunning and Eddie didn’t look like he had aged a day in 29 years. A very funny show back in in the day.

Love this! Wish my two favorites, the Ziffel’s, Barbara pepper and Hank Patterson were around for this video

Even though I was born in the early 2000s this was one of my favorite shows. I watched it a lot because my aunt would play it every Thursday.

We loved that program. it was clean, funny and just plain fun to watch.

Eva Gabor was as gorgeous as ever. What a beautiful and lovely woman!

This is really priceless footage. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope more people find it.

Green Acres was the funniest show of all time! Period!

Eddie Albert was a fine man, a patriot, an artist, a strong proponent of organic farming and a true gentleman....I wish I could have met him.

I loved that show. Now that I'm 67 years old and have seen it over and over I'm struck at how dizzy Lisa became as the show went on. She started out as a sophisticated and elegant city woman but by the 4th season she fit right in with Hank Kimbal and Ebb as wacky characters on the show. I also loved the innovation of them seeing the names of Richard Bare and others and working them into the show.

PAT BUTTRAM I WILL LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART 4 EVER AND EVER

I wish it was easier to access the old shows here on YT. I've been binge watching McHale's Navy during Covid and would love to do the same with Green Acres. Green Acres in some repects was pythonesque before the Monty Python team even got started. R.I.P. to all of the fantastic cast up there in the great green acres in the sky.

*That was great!*

Great show!!

R.I.P Tom

I talked to Mr. Hannys niece online she was a very nice person. I would like to think Mr. Hanny himself would have been just as nice as his niece.

Wonderful video. Thank you for you time and effort for posting.

I still sometimes find myself singing this theme song for no reason.

Thanks for uploading this Reunion video! "Green Acres" was so funny that I often wonder how the actors kept straight faces during the filming or how they kept from cracking up with laughter. Would you know if a tape exists of outtakes from the show or a "Bloopers Reel"? Something like that would be PRICELESS!

The comic premise of the show was the sane man in the insane world.

This is too cool...thx 4 putting it on here

3 things I loved: They added the fife music to the farmer speech. They waited for the written by and directed by names to finish. How Lisa had to operate the electricity up to number 7.

About 2:00 - That's Haney. He charged the kids to see Arnold.

When I lived in Memphis there was a tire store run by a guy who looked and sounded like a young Mr Haney, I could never tell for sure if he realized it or not. As a customer of his tire store I was most grateful that he did NOT run his business like Mr Haney. I wound up buying sets of tires for several cars there over the course of 15+ years.

Потрясающий сериал! Потрясающие любимые актеры! Жаль, их уже нет!

I.Love.This.

I always thought Eddie Albert had a MARVELOUS voice!!

Thank you for this video! Always great to see cast reunions of classic tv shows and how well they all really click offscreen. If you have anymore reunions like this of other classics please feel free to upload those too :)

Pat Buttram was one of my favorites - we were fans ever since the Disney Fantasy cruise ship Spring Break trip on March 2017. All I could think about was when Pat Buttram voiced the Napoleon in the Aristocats (1970) and the Sheriff of Nottingham from Disney's Robin Hood (1973). He would make the audience laugh and boy, it was a great hit. A memorable life it was for Pat Buttram and the Walt Disney Company. TV Crew Guy, if you uploaded this, thank you for spending my time watching this video. Many thanks from the state of Florida with love.

Wow, "Lisa" still looks great in this.

I would like to have heard them just tell stories and share memories of the show and making of the show. Relaxed, not scripted in any way.

I loved Green Acres as a kid and still do. I have access now to all episodes as most all do, so I started watching again. Do you all think that if I spend the rest of my days (I am 65 and fairly senile already) watching Green Acres that is a bad sign?

This is priceless. Thanks so much! Is there any other footage of this reunion?

Damn! It was only 13 years after the show ended, and they all had aged so much in that short period. So weird compared to today when a lot of old TV stars still look like they originally did in their shows.

Green Acres was so far ahead of its time...think about it.

TV Crew Guy... Absolutely love this work. Someone needed to preserve and Keep sacred of the historical comedic Integrity of this classic stuff. I have a question. I would love to see the snippet of the show that addresses the state create freight rate. I believe it's a conversation with Mr. Haney and Hank Kimball about a big wood crate in Oliver's driveway .

Mr. Haney getting a bit toasted there. That is funny.

It lasted longer than I ever imagined.

Is there a longer version of this get together?

I don’t know if you fans know this about pat butrum or not but he was in many gene autry films.

Two funny anecdotes that overlap. In Debbie Reynolds' book, she described how Eva Gabor escorted Debbie into the bathroom where a man was in a tub. "This is my sweetie," said Eva. The tub was filled with water, but no bubbles. Cut to decades later. Stevie Phillips, a mogul wannabe who had managed Judy Garland, wrote a book. She had an encounter with Eddie Albert who invited her over. He beckoned her to open a door, and there he was, in the bathtub filled with water... no bubbles.

Kind of like the rural version of Everyone Loves Raymond for its time. Green Acres had superb series top writers and directors to be able to find the right actors and actresses to do each character is incredible. Something that appears non-existent in new TV comedy series today.

Forget Manhattan give me that countryside

I’m currently watching reruns of green acres from CHCH TV in Hamilton Ontario Canada. Although some episodes have ridiculous and unnecessary disclaimers on the screen.

This makes me so happy! Is there a way to contact you - I’d love to interview you -

SINCERE THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD,,, AMEN🙏!!! DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IN 1984 THIS WAS FILMED PLEASE🙏?!!

The 7 downvotes are the pigs that didn't make the cut to play Arnold.

Didn't Alvy Moore always kind of remind us of Johnny Carson, or is it just me?

Sadly they are all gone now . RIP ago them all. This was good tv in its day . Not like the shit you see today on tv.

If Salvador Dali were a sitcom writer, this was his show.

Eva Gabor still looked so good here, though I imagine she had the help of several excellent plastic surgeons.

This took place in 1984??? They said it was a long time ago? Since they last seen each other..lol 60s werent that long ago from the 80s just down the road.

Who's the guy in the red sweater ?

Love Steve edwards he really got screwed over on good day l.a

Where's Eb Dawson??

Eva was hot.

Mr. Haney constantly tried to hook up with Lisa until Eddie Arnold punched him out

I liked Green Acres, not much of fan of the Beverely Hillbillies

enough of the raising a toast... ametuer

I absolutely hated this unfunny and hopelessly stupid sitcom.
