A collection of credit rolls from Green Acres

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=wGx1hTusKGo&feature=emb_logo

It's almost forgotten now, and rarely shown any respect by critics, but Green was one of the best sitcoms ever on television.  It incorporated bits of the surreal throughout the show, and a lot of it still seems fresh.  Someone had collected a  bunch of the opening credit sequences, and they're an example of what I'm referring to.
