Nearly 20 years after the series ended, "Return to Green Acres" (italics mine) takes viewers back to Hooterville, where, admittedly, not a whole lot has changed in 19 years.
After the series had ended in 1971, Oliver & Lisa Douglas (Eddie Albert & Eva Gabor) had returned home to New York, but when slimy, conniving Eustace Haney (Pat Buttram) conspires with an outsider (Henry Gibson) to swindle the entire town, the Douglases are persuaded to return to Hooterville on a rescue mission, after a sort......
While I don't know if Arnold's voice was dubbed in during the original series' run (1965-71), ever-busy Frank Welker (Transformers, Smurfs, Scooby-Doo, etc.) was called in to do just that in the movie.
Sadly, the last of the cast, Tom Lester (Eb), has passed away at 81 from complications due to Parkinson's disease. No rating, out of respect.
