Answer: Arnold

The pig's name was Arnold Ziffel and was quite talented in that he could turn the television set on and change channels when there was no remote control.

Glimpses of New York are shown in the opening scenes of each "Green Acres" show. During the theme song Oliver Douglas sings in part "Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside." Then Lisa retorts, "No, New York is where I'd rather stay...Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue."

Answer: Eb Dawson

Eb Dawson was the farm hand played by Tom Lester. His character was seen on three different comedy series; "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres." These three sitcoms were the only acting jobs he had for television.

Answer: Hotcakes

While living in New York where she could always dine in fancy restaurants, Lisa never was forced to cook for herself and her husband Oliver. When she moved to the hick town there were no upscale dining establishments so she had to learn to cook. Her hotcakes turned out either rubbery or burnt or hard as a rock.

There was one episode where the hotcakes were to be used to shingle the roof and another where one was used as a gasket for the Hoyt-Clagwell tractor on the farm.

Answer: The Monroe Brothers

The Monroe Brothers consisted of a brother and sister team. Alf Monroe was the brother who was played by Sid Melton. Mary Grace Canfield was the actress who portrayed the sister, Ralph Monroe. The obvious pun was that the name Ralph would generally be considered to be a man's name and "he" was cast as a female. That caused a lot of confusion to people who didn't know them personally in the show.
