Did you know
⢠In 1969, Eva Gabor's dog gave birth to puppies. One was not breathing, so she stuck a hose down his throat, resuscitated, and nursed him to health. She named him Oliver and his sister Lisa.
⢠Arnold the Piggy was the only cast member to win an award for a performance in a sitcom. He won the coveted "Patsy" Award in 1967, given to the best performance by an animal.
⢠It was reported that Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor were extremely close friends during the run of the show and the chemistry between them often showed in scenes where they were in close proximity, as one is often always touching the other. Their friendship was said to be very similar to how they played as husband and wife, and when Gabor died on 7/4/95, Albert was extremely devastated and deeply heartbroken. After he died, he was buried only a few yards away from Gabor's resting place in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.

FAQ
- I've noticed that Mr Heiny has had words censored on some METV reruns. One episode he tries to sell Oliver a "mechanical ---------"
- Was there ever an episode where someone was in an actual field on a farm? My memory of the series is the the entire show happens on an obvious set, fake everything. Even when someone is on a tractor or digging or plowing, it's a stage.
- Has anybody else ever noticed that there is a very brief product placement, of sorts, in the opening credits? There is a sign for Camel cigarettes on Times Square. I have to wonder if this was merely a coincidence, or was done on purpose to insert a mini-commercial into the beginning of every episode. And would this run afoul of the ban on cigarette advertising that has existed since the 1970s?
