Jeff Bezos to finance $400 million reboot of "Green Acres" starring Melania Trump as "Lisa Douglas."

[Miles Archer]

IN A STUNNING AND UNEXPECTED TWIST, Bezos has cast DONALD TRUMP not as Lisa's husband Oliver, but as Hooterville con man "Mr. Haney."

More details to follow as I make them up because, well, I made all of this up.

"I just adore a penthouse view, darling I love you but give me Park Avenue..."

[markodochartaigh]

1. I'm glad that this is made up.

I used to enjoy Green Acres.

[popsdenver]

25. I expected to see

a subtitle or author by the Onion or Borrowitz....

[Initech]

31. So hard to tell these days!

[Sneederbunk]

2. Eric Trump will play Eb and Vance will portray Arnold.

[chouchou]

16. That's a Keeper !

[OnlinePoker]

23. Eric's too dense to play Eb.

He's more like Hank Kimball, the befuddled county agent who doesn't know what's going on around him from one minute to the next.

[AZ8theist]

33. Eric's too dense to play Eric.

[Racygrandma]

34. I got a laugh out of that

Been watching Carol Burnett episodes because I need a laugh after the nightmare we are living through

[Norrrm]

3. You are definitely making it up that she would do the work it requires for real acting.

Unless all the scenes are happy endings of escort duties.

She has surely rehearsed those scenes.

[Traildogbob]

4. Will there be

Subtitles for both of their inabilities to speak any English?

[jls4561]

5. I will refrain what I am thinking when I read words Melania and Hooterville.

6. Will her husband play Arnold the pig?

On second though... no.

Arnold is way smarter than that guy.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Is there an opening for someone to play Arnold Ziffel?

Otherwise the multi-talented treasonous NAZI gangster pedophile protector will have to play a bunch of roles.

[Montauk6]

8. Sen. John Kennedy as Mr. Haney

[rampartd]

42. straight from central casting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Donny already knows the theme song

[Maninacan]

10. Eddie Arnold

Quite a story about Eddie Arnold in the Marines. I think he skippered a Higgins boat. True Hero. A mystery to me is how did they operate vehicles on sets? They usually come onto the set and stop. Wondered if they are towed.

[videohead5]

21. That's not his name

Eddie Albert was his name Eddie Arnold was a singer.

[PatSeg]

24. I tend to get them mixed up as well

[Brother Buzz]

41. Eddie Albert was a singer too

Broadway musical productions.

Among other leading roles, he replaced Robert Preston as Professor Harold Hill in the 1960 production of The Music Man.

Here is is singing with Johnny Cash

[videohead5]

44. I Knew that he sang

But he was known more for his acting. He sang on Green Acres.

[William Seger]

11. I heard Justin Trudeau is being considered for Mr. Douglas -- great chemistry with Melania (nt)

[Norrrm]

13. No kiss on lips

[JoseBalow]

19. "It's complicated"

[Maraya1969]

12. I remembered every word. Wonderful to sing along with it

[MuseRider]

14. I used to like that show.

Remember what it feels like to laugh so hard and so effectively that whatever was it your mouth came out of your nose? Never much cared for that feeling but damn, this was a good one!

*****Mr. Haney would be perfect for Trump.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Jeff...just come to the light...tell us all about what Trump has on you and the weekly

payment you have to make for his silence will end.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. She might be ok as Nurse Ratched. nt

[WestMichRad]

18. I think Nurse Ratchet had oodles more charm!

[LymphocyteLover]

20. LMAO!!!

Good one!

[aggiesal]

22. Where's The Onion link? n/t

[cab67]

26. better idea -

another remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Melania playing Veruca Salt. And her husband playing Gloop.

[LudwigPastorius]

27. Melania doesn't have the range that Eva Gabor had.

..nor her masterful command of the English language.

[AverageOldGuy]

29. Bigger tits, though.

[AverageOldGuy]

28. Please delete this before Trump sees it . . .

. . . the POS will do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aggiesal]

30. Steve Bannon as the Arnold the Pig n/t

[underpants]

38. You beat me to it

❤️

[Goonch]

32. ;-{).....

[Scubamatt]

35. Who can tell anymore . . .

what is real and what is parody?

[Endlessmike56]

36. Steven Cheung as Arnold

[moose65]

37. Haha

I used to imagine that the first time Melania saw the White House, she turned to Trump and said, “You expeeect me to move here, to Hootersville??”

Lisa Douglas had more class in her toenail than Melania has. Plus, Lisa loved Oliver, unlike Melania, who can’t stand her husband and can’t wait to ditch him to get back to New York.

[flvegan]

39. Could the next reboot be The Dukes of Hazzard then?

Melania would be Daisy, of course. Bannon is Uncle Jesse. Don Jr and Eric as Bo and Luke, fighting over who gets to drive the car with the confederate flag on the roof, because racism. Poolboy Enrique as Enos, 100% getting in Daisy's dukes. JD Vance as Roscoe P. Coltrane. And stupid tubby DJT as Boss Hogg.

Too obvious?

[Ilikepurple]

40. Had to click to see if satire or not. Phew!

I loved this show as a kid, especially the side characters. Mr. Kimball, Mr. Haney, and Ralph are the first that come to mind.

[Swede]

43. Mike Johnson can play Hank Kimble.

He forgets everything.
