Topic: Lisa Douglas


  
  Lisa Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Lisa (portrayed by actress Eva Gabor), a glamorous Hungarian immigrant, was the wife of Oliver Wendell Douglas, a successful New York City attorney who had long harbored the dream of moving to the Midwest and operating a farm.
Lisa was another example of the television cliché that a beautiful woman was almost invariably an incompetent cook, a chacteristic which she shared with Elly Mae Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillies, another show featuring absurd rural characters which was also being produced at the same time and by the same production company.
Lisa seemed to recognize that her husband was an incompetent failure as a farmer but was determined to accept that this was a phase that he was going through and to see him through it to its conclusion.

 Green Acres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the reunion movie, Oliver and Lisa had moved back to New York but are miserable there and are implored by the Hootervillians to return and save the town from a scheme to destroy it which has been cooked up between Haney and a wealthy, dishonest developer (Henry Gibson).
Lisa's utter domestic ignorance provides fertile ground for recurring gags -- her 'coffee' is brewed sans water and oozes from the pot in a thick, tar-like sludge; her infamous hotcakes (which she calls "hotscakes") are so tough and inedible that in one episode Oliver is able to repair his truck's head-gasket using Lisa's hotcake recipe.
Lisa claimed in one episode to be from New Jersey but went to boarding school in Hungary, thereby explaining both her accent and her lack of ability to speak Hungarian.

 TV ACRES: Food > Menus & Cuisines > Lisa Douglas' Hotcakes (Green Acres)
In New York City, Lisa Douglas was accustomed to maid service in her posh Manhattan apartment, but now as a simple farm wife, she had to learn such domestic duties as cleaning her house, milking the cow and cooking.
Her hotcakes were so tough that they came in handy as backup shingles when the roof needed repair, and acted as a mold to fix a blown head gasket for a truck engine.
And once, Lisa baked Oliver a cake whose contents included an earring, one of Oliver's neckties, a salt shaker, a spoon, and a thermometer.

 DVD Review:
Lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Albert), weary of life in New York ("It's a rat race, and the rats are winning!" he declares), buys the Haney place to the horror of his socialite wife Lisa (Eva Gabor), whose ditziness has yet to be established.
In time, Lisa learns to love the people of Hooterville, trying her best to bring sophistication to the backwoods region (and while still making use of her Manhattan wardrobe)...
Being able to watch Oliver Douglas out in his fields, on his tractor, while wearing a three-piece business suit via the full Digital splendor of the DVD format is also a major positive attribute to be applied to this DVD release.
