I am the #1 "Green Acres" fan in the entire country. I didn't start watching it on a regular basis until April, 1966, starting with the Molly Turgis episode, and it has been my favorite show ever since. The late Eva Gabor, who played Lisa Doughas on the show, was not only my favorite charachter, but my very favorite actress and was the idol of my youth. I was just simply captured by her beauty, charm, and glamour. I have collected pitcures of Eva Gabor from the time that she was doing the show up to when she was going out with Merv Griffin. Of all the pictures that I have of Eva Gabor, two of them are my personal favorites, which were taken when she was doing the show. Although these are black and white pictures, she was photographed wearing this beautiful, but very sexy, light-colored print strapless gown, a medium-sized choker necklace, tiny droop earrings, and a beautiful satin stole, which was wrapped around her, just below her bare shoulders. Her beautiful blonde hair was styled just so perfectly neat and chic, and she had the brightest and sexiest smile that you could ever imagine. She was definitely one of the most beautiful and glamorous women in all of Hollywood. She looked just like a beauty queen in those two pictures, and she looked very sexy in that strapless gown. To me, she had that sexy style of glamour. I'll admit this, but I look at these two pictures every time I listen to music, especially the Motown artists. I have also combined my very favorite episodes of "GREEN ACRES" along with these pop/rock music infomercials, films, documentaries, and specials. I don't have a particular favorite "Green Acres" episode. However, I consider the Christmas episode to be the rare episode. Although it first aired on CBS back on December 21, 1966, I didn't see it again until 19 years later, on Christmas Day, 1985, when the reruns were being aired on one of the local UHF stations. It aired again on the same station around Christmas of '87, in which I taped it. However, the tape broke and I had to wait another 10 years to tape it, when the reruns were being shown on TV Land, and I have made several copies of this particular episode so I don't lose it again. One one particular tape, I have an infomercial of Dick Clark's Rock and Roll Era after this particular episode. When I heard the news of Eva Gabor's sudden illness and death, I couldn't believe it at first. Then in August of '97, my cable company added TV Land to its lineup, which at the time was airing the reruns of "Green Acres", and I just started crying on and off. I just couldn't accept the fact that Eva Gabor was dead and that I truly and deeply missed her. Although I've gotten over it now, to me she's alive today in spirit and is in a better place. In fact, I plan to visit her grave the next time that I go out to Los Angeles. Because to me, EVA GABOR STILL LIVES.
