The thing that is wrong with Green Acres is that it heralds the passing of time. My son is WASTING his time. He/we should be out frolicking in the snow, building a community of snow people, sledding down various hills, shoveling out our elderly neighbors or baking Christmas cookies. What are we doing instead? Watching Green Acres, still in our 'jammies, and contemplating the various things we might eat.
