What was the name of the pig in "Green Acres"?
While "Green Acres" featured plenty of oddball characters, none captured America's heart quite like the pig next door. This sophisticated swine spoke to residents of Hooterville, played the piano, and became the show's breakout star. While Oliver and Lisa Douglas fumbled through farm life, their porcine neighbor was busy stealing every scene. What was the name of this ham who brought home the bacon?
▼
Correct Answer: Arnold
Arnold Ziffel became the unexpected superstar of "Green Acres" as the TV-watching, school-attending pig who lived with Fred and Doris Ziffel. The genius pig was played by some real hams over the course of the show. They mastered their scenes so well, Arnold became the only cast member to get any recognition, claiming multiple Patsy Awards. Fans freaked out over rumors that Arnold ended up as breakfast after the show wrapped in 1971, but the show's team promised audiences that he was fine. The famous porker probably retired to a cushy farm where he lived out his days watching reruns and collecting residual checks.
