Hey, I remember Green Acres being in color? Kerry, was your set black and white? ;)

Oh, Paul, that was such fun to see. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? That brought back so many memories of an era in my life when I was very young. Was Green Acres released in the 1960s? If so, I was a teenager then, living at home, and yes my parents set was black and white at that time. Now I think about it, though, I do remember the re-runs in colour. Thanks again, Paul. I really enjoyed that! :D

Yes, indeed, Kerry, the internet, and YouTube, in particular, are wonderful things. Instant time machine. Occasionally, I find myself passing hours looking at clips that remind me of a happier time.

Although I started thinking about it, and it would be very "Hoosier" to pronouce it RUT-uh-bay-guh. We have a tendancy to shorten certain long vowel sounds around here. For example it's often "fut" instead of "foot".
But as far as rutabagas are concerned, I've only heard it pronounced ROOT-uh-bay-guh. Although I'm sure there are some around here say it the other way! :laugh:
Man! We've really sent this thread OFF topic haven't we? From dining, to doggie bags, to rutabagas and Green Acres, and now Midwestern dialects! :P
:laugh:

Gash, I was having so much fun, I hadn't even noticed we'd gone off topic. :laugh:
