Scola, FTW! Recent airings have omitted the entire middle part of the song. Boo!

I had to look it up on IMDb while watching to figure it out. Rosamund Pike! Alfred Molina!
And Carey Mulligan, aka Sally Sparrow from Doctor Who's "Blink" episode! She was also in the Keira Knightly P&P, as Kitty Bennett.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I just watched Doug Ellin's feature film(or at least the one he still likes,) "Kissing a Fool"...it's very cute, and basically is like what would happen if Jason Lee and David Schwimmer played Chicago!Vince and E and competed over a girl. Somehow, it feels more like TV, though and I'm not sure why I say that, although most of the actors in have TV careers and most indies don't have people blowing up shit.

Green Acres is actually a pretty funny show, a spin off of Petticoat Junction.
It was a spinoff of The Beverly Hillbillies. You see, The Beverly Hillbillies was about a group of country bumpkins who move to the big city, and Green Acres was about city slickers who move to the country!

I always preferred the Hillbillies, although I'm not sure why exactly...it's not like I was worried the premise got diluted.

The Catalog of Cool loved Green Acres, though admittedly they considered the entire show to be surreal.
Given the sentient pig and Oliver sending a bear running by feeding it one of Lisa's flapjacks, I'd say surreal is the word.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wacky!
I always preferred the Hillbillies, although I'm not sure why exactly...

Oh, I knew that one already. She's the reason I watched it in the first place.

I remember one Hillbillies ep where the Clampetts decide to go back to the country and give the estate to three college girls who dropped by to interview them. Every time the girls referred to the total worth in the show, it kept getting higher.
However, it turned out that Jethro had been too spoiled by luxury to go back to the woods, and even Granny missed the cee-ment pond.

I thought it was because they enjoyed controlling the means of production and exploiting the working class. I guess I misremembered.
