7. Inspiration for the Name of the Show

Comedian Harold Lloyd was as big as Charlie Chaplin back in the silent movie heyday, and he became a very wealthy man. His 16 acre estate, Greenacres, was the largest Hollywood home in Beverly Hills at the time. It boasted 44 rooms, 26 bathrooms, 12 fountains, 12 gardens, and a nine-hole golf course. The radio show (Granby’s Green Acres) and later television series were both named after it.
