I'm A Pisces

Though I am still bored by Green Acres, I believe it is a 1960s sitcom that was way ahead of it's time. Sometimes it's writing was brilliant–the way Lisa couldn't understand American phrases and Oliver never ate her hotcakes–but more so is the fact of using things like on-screen graphics and text humorously. i.e. after the opening theme, when it would display titles such as 'Written By:' or 'Directed By:' it would incorporate them into the show, sometimes even interfereing with the characthers. Another example is the use of subtitles, in English and Hungarian (?—wherever Lisa is from) for comedic effect. This show just used all of these things brilliantly, unlike anything else I've ever seen from a sitcom from the era.

However, it's hard to make it through an episode just b/c I don't like the show.
