Are you familiar with the show?

This is one more movie based on a TV show which feels like it was written by someone who never saw the show, and based the script on what people had told them about it. It has the right characters, place names, and situations, but none of the wifty, oddball humor which made the show special. It was good they could get (almost all) the same actors back from the original series. As usually happens in reunion movies like this, something happens to threaten the situation, and the characters band together to (everyone say it together) "SAVE THE TOWN!" The end of the movie is everyone saying "Well, now we can go back to normal!" It's almost as if the scripts for these things come in a kit--they're that stereotyped.

Not for fans of the original TV series!

If y'all grew up with the original TV series and its surrealistic humor, take a pass on this production...better yet, watch it once to just to learn one can't bring back the past. There's none of the off-the-wall humor of the TV series. Lisa Douglas (Eva Gabor) has to work hard to deliver stupid lines. Even Arnold Ziffel is phoning in his performance...although this Arnold is probably the tenth-great grandpig of the original. (Where's Cynthia, the basset hound??)

I watched this mainly to see if it was any good. There's two hours of my life I'll never recover.

Now, even though I've seen one-sentence reviews, I have to post 600 characters to put up mine. Thank the IMDB people for such discrimination.

A chance to see old friends again

I'm saddened by the negative user reviews posted about this tv reunion. I agree it wasn't the offbeat humor from the original series but it was still nice to see so many of the cast members together again. Also, I just can't believe Eddie Albert would trash this movie on a talk show or to anyone. I met him in the late 1980's and everyone or thing he spoke about was with an honest, pleasant, upbeat demeanor. In fact I've never read or heard any negative remarks about anyone in the cast. Enjoy it for what it is and not for what others think it should have been.

How about a feature film by the original director?

How about a movie that is directed and written by the original director who directed all but 3 of the episodes? Introducing, Mr. Richard Bare!!!!! This should be filmed by August of next year for a 2011 release. Are you excited??? We are in the works of pre-production. The script is written, and boy howdy, is it good. The context will be set in the original time-frame. The cast will be famous and look alikes. Which A list actor do you think looks the most like Eddie Albert? How about Eva Gabor? Who should play Arnold? How about Mr. Kimball? We already have a Mr Haney! You must stick to the original values of the TV series. Especially in a movie as important as Green Acres as it has a HUGE following! Let's get er done.

Return to where now?

This would be a decent movie by its self but being a TV movie version of Green Acres its lost some of the original humor that made the TV series great.

I do however have to give it points for letting us see the old and new generation of Hooter Ville residents and thats never to bad.

On the original series, the railroad ran directly next to Drucker's Store. In Return to Green Acres, the railroad is gone. Since Hooterville has always been "behind in the times" and is not much keen on change, it can be assume the store was never relocated and the railroad was never dismantled.
