ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: When Oliver opens his desk drawer containing the mushrooms, it is not his hand but his boss' hand. It is a sped-up shot of a scene a few seconds later in the episode when his boss opens the drawer.
Edit - According to this episode, the Hooterville farm, as advertised in "The Farm Gazette", is 160 acres. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES-
This was one of only two episodes not directed by Richard L. Bare.
Edit - Eddie Albert revealed in a January 1966 "TV Guide" article that as part of his deal he was given a 10 percent interest in Green Acres. He also mentions that he was offered the part after Don Ameche turned it down, and that actresses Marsha Hunt and Janet Blair had screen-tested with him before Paul Henning had the idea to cast Eva Gabor (over CBS's objections that no one would understand her because of her accent). Edit
- This episode was part of the line-up on TVLand's first night of operation, along with the pilot episodes of other classic series such as Petticoat Junction, Mannix, My Mother the Car, St. Elsewhere, Hill St. Blues, and Gunsmoke. Edit
