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

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.

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.

Unless all the scenes are happy endings of escort duties.

She has surely rehearsed those scenes.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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