Green Acres

[MattTheSaiyan]

Does the recording feature any classic old commercials or bumpers?

[RetroToledo]

I was under the impression they played shows in realtime off film chains on network TV back then, oh well.

[WackyAsian]

That's one charming motherfucking pig.

[vitoduval]

in the 90s there was a Green Acres reunion show , in the beginning they had Arnold the pig , or a descendent with flowers in his snout going up to the Ziffels graves and dropping them in front of the grave marker, a lot of us fans probably shed a tear

[themamagoatshow]

i love the sofa its kinda tacky but very sleek and fabulous

[eldorado61guy]

I purchased seasons 1,2 and 3. Cannot find the rest.

[Bigstooler0]

[LKKruse]

The sound sure is better than digital sound today.

[Fis10n]

Good stuff

[TL250Rider]

This is fantastic

[Alexandernero666]

[micmac99]

Oh, and BTW, I LOVE Green Acres! The CBS run was before my time but I have enjoyed the reruns. I laughed harder on this one clip than I have watching ANY sitcom of the last 10 years.

[micmac99]

This is the CBS sound, all right. When I was a kid, I watched so much TV in the early 70s that by the time I was 5 or 6, I could tell by sound only which network I was watching. Each's network's audio sounded different. Even today, when I watch TV, my mind wants to "hear" these networks the same way the audio sounded in the 70s.

[mkcthiewes]

Thanks for sharing, use to watch this on TV as a kid.

[tomdelayhole]

Sarah Palin and her family move to Washington.. The Washington Hillbillies. They'd have a cee-ment pond and everything.

[smush48]

haney could sell parkas in hell....the best salesman ever.....

[mickeyh1961]

Green Acres brings me back to my childhood & looking at this brilliant comedy reminds me of that more innocent time when things were less complicated and society seemed happier

[ezHiker35]

Love this. Great quality. These tapes are such wonderful snapshot of our history. More please! About the sound: aside from the obvious frequency limitations, as a kid during the analog era, I always noticed that audio from the network shows had sort of a "roomy" or "spatial" sound that you didn't hear with locally produced content. I've always surmised that this must have been due to the numerous repeaters and amplifiers in the chain modifying the analog waveforms ever so slightly.

[tracytcb111111111111]

im 35 and just love this show its a great show thumbs up for green acres

[eds1994fatboy]

NOBAMA  !!!!

[mshockey73]

Eddie Albert played the straight man to all the zany characters around him on this show and did it brilliantly.

[gm3able]

Loved this show.

[dancinkindofguy]

professional pig witness, I think I missed my calling!

[jenschina]

Wow look at the cool leopard print furniture!!!!

[AUD1438]

I loved this show!

[jvfunn3000]

I like Mr. Haney. Pat Buttram is MY HERO 4 EVER! R.I.P. PAT BUTTRAM 1919-1994.

[agentleman121]

Can you get your sister in law Zsa Zsa to come over please?

[ratedPG3]

He left him Tea Biscuts

[BigMisterBig1]

Wow, what a horrible TV series. It appeals to people with an IQ of 50 or lower.

Don't tell me to read between the lines. It was DUMB. One of the worst shows of all time.

[redneck4541]

Go to hell. This was the BEST show of all time!!!!

[Geert365]

Run fur fun, what hell kinda fun is that (or isn't it that guy).

[Geert365]

News Radio.

[will2dmax]

Arnold was the greatest TV animal ever pigs are very smart.

[monkeyboy4746]

This show always had a ring of truth to it, I think all these people really existed in one form or another, kind of like "King Of The Hill", I think I have met all those people before.

[metalrod23]

There were some people like this in my home town, I kid you not.

[rayyocum]

Classic!

[padrejo]

Sounded good to me, Machlis. Geez, tough crowd! That was a great show.

[machlis]

whats with the sound

[Audiovideopark]

Please explain your comment. I don't know what you are referring to. That is the way network programming sounded via the AT&T Long Lines.

[eldorado61guy]

Right channel near inaudible.

[Audiovideopark]

The audio is mono, only on one channel.

[pvx]

@Audiovideopark: Yes, didn't the audio for TV feeds (and radio feeds) fed via AT&T LL then roll off at about 5 KHz? I know it was a pretty narrow response, possibly fed through higher-quality POTS-style circuits...

And I've also noticed (although it's much more subtle in this video) that broadcast audio fed through Ma Bell's net at the time also had a compressed (as in dynamic range) and raspy, coarsely modulated timbre to it as well...

[Audiovideopark]

@pvx Yes, this was recorded by a CBS affiliate on the West Coast so this was exactly how it sounded through all the miles of coax cables and microwave circuits. Bandwidth on the audio was limited. 5 kHz top end sounds about right. The audio was compressed to avoid over modulation and to improve the signal to noise ratio.

[wmbrown6]

@Audiovideopark - What would have been the bottom end of the AT&T L.L. telco audio - 50 Hz or 100 Hz? I know 5 kHz was the top end.

[wmbrown6]

I've found out that this telco sound was Class A intercity, 100 Hz-5 kHz. New York got the high-quality Class AAA 50 Hz-15 kHz; there was another classification, AA, which was 50 Hz-8 kHz, but I doubt TV stations used 8 kHz telco.

[RetroToledo]

@Audiovideopark The way most affiliates would get it.

[GroverKent]

They need to make TV shows like they USED to.

[Glr31]

U got that right, kids could watch back then

[GroverKent]

Exactly. Network TV shows back then were simple and wholesome, whereas today, it's all about the sex appeal of the stars, and the raunchy humor.

I plan to model my shows after the shows of yesteryears; I want all ages to be able to enjoy what I create.

[cossack207]

damn right!!

[luvthoseclips]

I laughed so hard when Oliver tossed away Haney's 1st card......& how in heaven's name can Oliver hold a straight face & not break out laughing? I wonder the same thing about Ralph & Norton with their little routines on "The Honeymooners".

[KarateDude97]

Mr Haney..tracer of lost pig heirs. lmfao he was so good.

[Audiovideopark]

Yes. This was a little too early for the Rank flying-spot scanners.

[jpvp2]

given the image lag between the 3 tubes it must have been done via a tube telecine

[wmbrown6]

@jpvp2 - CBS in those days, at their Television City studios in Hollywood and at the Broadcast Center in New York, had 4-vidicon General Electric PE-240 model film chains/slide scanners. (As with their ordering Norelco PC-60 and 70 color studio cameras, their equipment ordering policy with telecines was "anything but RCA.") However, four of the five CBS O&O's (except WCBS in New York, of course) back then had RCA TK-27 chains, and WCAU in Philly had RCA TK-42 studio cameras.
