How many remember seeing the episode of Green Acres when he had to get his apples to the market on time when the truck that they were driving happened to blow a head gasket. It's amazing cuz it took him only about 5 minutes, on the side of the road to pull the head. Anyway...just after the head was pulled they both went for lunch. Lisa was showing the cook at the diner how to make the hotcakes that Oliver loved so much. Picture this...she poured a large portion of pancake batter over the top of the flat surfaced stove. She then proceeded to cut out the hotcakes with a large circular cookie cutter. She just happened to cut out I believe, 4 of them. This gave Oliver a GREAT idea. He picked up the remaining sheet of cooked batter with the 4 holes cut in it...and wouldn't you know...he used that template as his NEW head gasket. How do you replace a classic show such as this...MORE REALITY SHOWS I SAY! Brian
