Green Acres Filming Location 

Yes, they don’t make sitcoms anywhere near like those classics anymore :/ Glad you found my video!

@@StanleyFoss I’ve downloaded Pluto and it has all episodes of all those sitcoms for free! Even Dennis the Menace, Car 54 Where are You and the Adams family. I Love Lucy is coming this week too! There are also 70s and 80s sitcoms like Family Ties, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley and Threes Company. There are even more than that but just check it out for yourself since you also love the old sitcoms.

@@GenX-Grampa oh cool, I will check out Pluto tv for sure , thanks 👍🏻

@@StanleyFoss do it and come back on here and let me know what you think. Tubi is another one my daughter showed me. It’s got some good ones too. It had one of my favorites, “The Rockford Files” but they recently removed it. But Sanford and Son, The Jefferson’s and Maude are some they have. I think All in the Family is or at least was on there too.

@Grampa-Grump Nope those kind of shows will never exist again, especially Petticoat Junction. I used to watch them in reruns as a kid, Green Acres was my favorite!

I have seen him in some ww2 footage doing that.

They don’t make shows like that at all anymore unfortunately

amen sista. i was born in 1961 so i also remember watching them with my late brother mickey at our grandma and grandpa's.. Dragnet, The Glen Campbell comedy hour. Saturday Morning Cartoons At 5.00 Am Sharp. Till 12.00 Pm Noon, Then The Monkees came on. july 22nd. 5.48 Pmcst USA..

@@tonyfriend7413 And don't forget HEE HAW! and the Red Skelton show ...and Carol Burnett and Flip Wilson. And Bewitched and the Munsters. OH MY what good times!🥰 Poor kids today have to watch the Kardashians and stupid stuff on tiktok. 😝

We did the same, great times.

Thanks! Yeah pretty awesome that the house is still there and surrounded by open land - no housing up against it!

@@StanleyFoss Had to be a very poor farmer 80 acres is nothing, even small farms are thousands of acres.

​@@hifijohnMight of sold some of it off?

I really want to check out Pixley and see what it is like, and also the Hooterville Cannonball. I believe it’s the same engine they used in Back to the Future part 3?

@@StanleyFoss Yes, part of Back to the Future 3 was filmed in Jamestown, using the train. Good 'ole autocorrect. I just noticed that it turned "Hooterville" into "Hooverville" when I wrote it above, lol! "Hooverville" is what they called shanty towns in the Great Depression of the 1930's.

I've seen the Cannonball in other shows but I can't remember which ones, besides the ones mentioned here.

Let's see, we have Pixley, Crabwell Corners, Budtussle, Sibly, Snyder's Swamp, Mayberry, Syler City and Greendale. All places I've never been but boy, one day, I'm gonna get there.

Several episodes of the Wild Wild West used the house set from The Big Valley also filming at the same time as each other. Trivia and reminiscing is a lot of fun.

And "Hotscakes".

Also electricical. lol

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that 👍🏻

How bout "Mayberry RFD"?

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks to MeTV!🙂

It wasn't a Sitcom

Hi Rusty, thanks! If you like wine you would love Paso Robles, CA. There are wineries everywhere. Thanks for the kind words!

​@@StanleyFoss I thought you needed to know DavyCrocko has passed away his funeral is this weekend he was 28 years old.

Yeah the fact that that land hasn’t been developed is pretty incredible.

Thank you! Would be cool if they Airbnb’d it for the Green Acres super fans 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

Glad you found this video!

Oh cool, you have visited a lot of locations! I hope to visit Australia someday!

Nice, I also want to visit the 4077th.

Ahh yes, such a bummer they cancelled all those shows around the same time. I think they were still doing well in the ratings also?

Got rid of Corn Comedy.

CBS also cancelled Hee Haw during that purge...

At that point, all of the rural series had gotten stale. Mayberry RFD was a shadow of the original series, and the Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres had lost their creative spark. The move paid off for CBS as many of the the replacements, led by "All in the Family", "M*A*S*H", and "Mary Tyler Moore" became huge hits attracting younger audiences.

I call them epic works of intelligent stupidity.

Thank you! I try to keep it upbeat 👍🏻 😁

Thanks, I have some other GA ideas in the works 👍🏻

Thanks! Some of it was filmed down there. Working on a second video 👍🏻

🙏🏻 thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Thanks! I’m working on another GA video … coming soon

@@StanleyFoss Thanks for your response! Looking forward to seeing what you dig up! Maybe you can track down the train that was used in GA and PJ. I heard it was some kind of tourist attraction at one point. Thanks!

@@Modeltnick I think it was up in Oregon somewhere.

Location filming with the real train took place on the Sierra Railroad in California, between Jamestown and just west of Chinese Camp. The railroad and the locomotive and cars are still in existence.

@@richierich2048 Hey thanks for the info! Maybe someone will do a video on it sometime!

It's so good!

Yeah it’s a really bummer. Even most of the crew, nearly all of the crew have passed also. 😔

Yes, Stanley, can you find out about that barn roof. Did they paint it or was it somehow added through animation, something I believe would have been possible back then.

@@jwr7138 --- I'm not saying this is true but I heard it was painted but it does not exist today.

@@jwr7138 It was painted, not added is post. Looking at it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if I wasn't just painted on canvas and laid on the roof.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! I’ll have a part 2 coming out with even more GA locations

But wait, there's more! Hooterville's neighboring town is Pixley, and that's also a town on Highway 99 several miles north of Bakersfield. I'm pretty sure Bakersfield also has a neighborhood named Greenacres. And rumor has it that "GREEN ACRES" was painted on the roof of a barn near Tulare so that it could serve as the show's title card.

There is strong indication toward the end of the series that their farm was in Kentucky. Sam Drucker read a zipcode that was suppose to attach to Hooterville. I always thought Green Acres was set in Oregon.

@@ThomasJanik-nf5vi One of the things that was a running theme in all "Hooterville" shows was the actual state in which Hooterville was located, they carefully never mentioned a state, but also gave many conflicting "clues". For example, one time they indicated that Hooterville was in the Mountain Time Zone (two hours difference between Washington, DC), which could indicate Western Kansas or Nebraska (plus the episode where Lisa was accused of bombing Denver via a hot air balloon), Also, there was an episode where towns in New York State were given in reference. There have also been mentions that would have indicated that the town was in Illinois. However, I cannot think of an episode that would confirm California.

@@mrath It was Kentucky by the zip code Sam Drucker referred to.

Thank you! Yes that would be cool to take a look inside. I made another video about the location of the green acres barn, that is on my channel also. Thanks!

Yeah isn’t that cool :)

Good old-growth wood!!!

Pardon me for being picky, but there's a transformer on that pole, so it's a power pole 😛

@@rotunda57 They're generically called telephone poles...they carry telephone, eclectic and now cable TV....

Yes, Paso Robles still gets crazy hot in the summer - lots of great wine tasting everywhere. Cheers!

Thank you! :)

Thank you! This one was fun to make 👍🏻👍🏻

Then it couldn't have been them.

@@bradleymiller437 😆

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, thanks! So glad it was under two hours away from me! Yes watch out for the dogs - they came charging down and I thought they were going to jump the fence! 😱

Yeah I’m sure the owners or original owners her never payed or even consulted. Also, I had to use a cover version of the intro song to avail copyrighted music .

@@StanleyFoss haha! There’s always going to be a backhanded dig coming somewhere out of the woodwork! Thank you for your research and posting this. Us old baby boomers appreciate the work put into it.

Actually, if a home is filmed or photographed from a public area, no permission is required to publish or film the location unless there is a court order that forbids publication.

I read a bit about the radio show, pretty cool. Yes, if the dogs weren’t there I would have knocked on the door .

Haha! Thanks! I need to get up to the Sacramento area and see the Hooterville cannonball 🚂

Yeah pretty cool 👍🏻

That’s so cool! I love that whole area. Atascadero is amazing also

Greetings! Glad you found this video in Canada!

Glad you enjoyed it

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Wow, interesting first hand knowledge. Thanks

Oh interesting, I never knew that. Thanks 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 😊

Yes a great straight man and voice of reason in Hootervile

Thanks for watching! I made second Green Acres video where I found the Barn location. You might enjoy that one also. Cheers!

So true! What a multiverse!

Thank you, appreciate the support!!

Thanks! And you live in a great part of California!

Thanks so much! Glad you found this video!

I had to go once I found out the two main actors were there. That can’t be coincidence!

Alvy Moore, who played Hank Kimball, is buried at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills. I know Tom Lester, who played Eb, died in 2020, and was buried in his native state of Mississippi. I'm trying to find this house on a map. I'm guessing you didn't include the name of the road for privacy reasons?

Glad you enjoyed it

So cool you got to check out all that stuff. I need to make my way to Pixley also.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the sub! :)

Same here!!!

Hi, thanks so much for the kind words. More videos coming soon 👍🏻

Shows as Green Acres were so stupid that they were funny.

@@HENSLEYMB That's what made them so good!!!!

I definitely want to check out the real-life Pixley and explore Jamestown 👍🏻👍🏻

The 1939 water tower you saw on PJ burned up in one of those sweeping California wildfires about 20 years ago. It was replaced with a somewhat similar tower on the same footing using the salvageable hardware from the original. And, the girls were never actually in that tower. They were standing in a mockup of the tower, on the ground.

@@rotunda57 I saw in in 1998 and was told at the time it was the original tank. Sad to know it was destroyed, but hopefully the replica looks the same.

@@scvcebc Nope, the new tank is smaller and has a roof to slow algae growth. I guess they use so little water from it the roof was needed.

Yeah it was probably some file footage they used . But neat none the less

Yeah it looks like it could be in the mid west for sure

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
