==''Green Acres''== [[File: Eddie Albert Eva Gabor Green Acres 1965.JPG|thumb|right|upright|Gabor (right) on the set of ''[[Green Acres]]'' with [[Eddie Albert]] (left), August 1965]] In 1965, Gabor got the role of [[Lisa Douglas]], whose attorney husband [[Oliver Wendell Douglas]] ([[Eddie Albert]]) decides to leave the "[[rat race]]" of city life. He buys a farm in a rural community, forcing Lisa to leave her beloved big-city urban life. The [[Paul Henning]] sitcom ''[[Green Acres]]'' aired on [[CBS]]. ''Green Acres'' was set in [[Hooterville]], the same backdrop for ''[[Petticoat Junction]]'' (1963β70), and would occasionally cross over with its [[sister show|sister sitcom]]. Despite proving to be a ratings hit, staying in the top 20 for its first four seasons, ''Green Acres'', along with another sister show, ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', was cancelled in 1971 in the CBS network's "[[rural purge]]" β a policy to get rid of the network's rural-based television shows. In 1966, Eva Gabor and [[Johnny Carson]] played ''[[Twister (game)|Twister]]'' on ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Belvedere |first=Matthew J. |date=2016-05-04 |title=The surprising story of how Johnny Carson saved Twister |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/04/the-surprising-story-of-how-johnny-carson-saved-twister.html |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=[[CNBC]] |language=en |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/04/the-surprising-story-of-how-johnny-carson-saved-twister.html |url-status=live }}</ref><!-- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691388/ --><ref>{{cite web |date=2023-06-01 |title=How Johnny Carson Saved Twister |url=https://www.history.com/news/how-johnny-carson-saved-twister |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=[[History Channel|History]] |language=en |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.history.com/news/how-johnny-carson-saved-twister |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Twister |url=https://www.museumofplay.org/toys/twister/ |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=The Strong National Museum of Play |language=en-US |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.museumofplay.org/toys/twister/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
