TV GPS - HOOTERVILLE


‘GREEN ACRES’
“DOUBLE DRICK”



In order to secure electrical lines to his farmhouse, Oliver Wendell Douglas traveled to the county seat for Hooterville.  The county was also called Hooterville, according to the sign in the power company office.

The exact location for Hooterville has always been a matter of discussion.  Almost every clue given in the episodes could be contradicted later, sometimes even in the same episode.

With the “Double Drick” episode, there was a visual monkey wrench thrown into the discussion – with the establishing image of the government building in which the power company office was located, we could see a palm tree off to the side.


It doesn’t help the cause though.  Here are the continental Eastbound states which have palm trees:
  • Georgia
  • Alabama
  • Mississippi
  • Louisiana
  • Texas
  • Oklahoma (disputed but true)
  • Arkansas (disputed but true)
  • South Carolina
  • North Carolina
  • Virginia (disputed but true)
So the search continues…..

BCnU!
