One of the first truly bizarre episodes of the series. There were hints of it earlier, but this episode really highlights the fact that Hooterville and its citizens are not like the rest of the world.
We learn that the residents of Hooterville have a unique way of predicting the weather - they watch the local news out of Pixley to see whether a little old lady, or a little old man, come out of a house apparently constructed on a set in the studio, something akin to one of those old Swiss clocks. But this isn't a clock. These are two actual people who apparently have done this for years. No further explanation is given. Only Green Acres would open with something this strange, then feel no need to elaborate.
The rest of the episode deals with the farmers reacting to the wildly shifting predictions. It's a fun episode, and unlike prior episodes, it's not afraid to be weird.
