Nickelodeon is showing the early episodes of Green Acres. The Douglases just got their phone installed (basically a test set mounted at the top of a pole) the other night, but before that one of Oliver's former law partners had tried to call him from New York. The number they had the operator call was Hooterville 297 Ring 2. (Apparently their calls had to go to the Shady Rest, since Uncle Joe, movin' kinda slow, answered it.) Anway, I thought telecom readers would appreciate the number popping up in a sitcom.
