Re: Green Acres video
Question of the day: What engine did the head gasket he's holding come from? I'm thinking maybe a Y block.

Re: Green Acres video
Thanks Rick...Good one.
I wonder what happened to all those Model A's, that we see in these old tv flicks. Probably stuck away in Universals, Warner Bro's sheds somewhere. One Model AA I sure would like to find was the "Oxmobile" that Henry Ford gave to Ezra Meeker in 1928 so he could traverse the Oregon Trail one more time. However Ezra passed away before the trip and who knows what happeded to the Oxmobile. Pluck |

Re: Green Acres video
A little off-topic, but still related to this thread: Is it just my perception or have networks like Antenna TV, THIS, and ME TV been cutting down program length recently and inserting more commercials? I could have sworn that now some of my favorite scenes are missing from Perry Mason and other shows that were included last time they ran on these networks. I don't include TVLAND in this list because that network has always been more commercials than program. "We interrupt this commercial to bring you a program" should be their motto. As an avid re-run watcher from the "old days" (I watch NOTHING new on TV except documentaries!), I know where scenes have been deleted from these old favorites just to add another Preparation H and feminine hygiene product commercial, of which I will be buying none. Grumble, grumble, grumble..

Re: Green Acres video
I don't think its your imagination. I see old reruns that contain commercials for stair stepper exercise machines, vacuum cleaners and lots of other things that I swear the commercials are two or three times the length of a normal commercial. I wonder how they compress the content, but I swear there are more and longer ads than the original shows had! They probably do edit out content entirely.

Re: Green Acres video
Back in the day, a 30 minute show had a 'running time' of 27 minutes. Today's broadcast TV shows have a running time of 22 minutes. That's 5 extra minutes of commercials right there. Plus, ads are superimposed on top of the picture to tell you what's on next, tomorrow, and next week!
You can bet the old 27 minute shows have been pared down! |

Re: Green Acres video
Sometimes the shows are sped up a small bit, rather than cutting content.

But, to get somewhere near 5 minutes out of 27, you'd have to cut some content or it seems that you'd notice it being sped up. Dang advertisers any way. |

Re: Green Acres video
I dropped direct tv 4 years ago, got tired of paying 80.00 month for a commercial every 5 minutes. Heck there should be a revolt, if you pay for the service it should be commercial free... I do Netflix and Amazon and couldn't be happier, I rarely watch network TV either for the same reason, most the shows that are on I never saw because I was working two jobs..
