I swear an episode of “Green Acres” featured Arnold Ziffel going to Paris (or somewhere in France) and coming back wearing a beret. My Google Fu must be busticated because I have searched every combination of Arnold/Ziffel/pig/beret/Paris/France to no avail. Does anyone remember this? ---

Here’s a publicity photo of[Arnold in a beret](https://www.flickr.com/photos/pietschreuders/3855455343), but that wasn’t from an episode. ---

Could it have been in the two part episode where Arnold goes to Hollywood and becomes a film star? (Season 3, episodes 29 and 30) ---

I did an IMDB search for Arnold ziffel in plet: [http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=plot&q=ziffel](http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=plot&q=ziffel) None look like it Brian ---

Can’t speak for Arnold, but [Sir Oinks-a-Lot](http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/5/5e/Tumblr_m8mpd3F8us1ryq77fo1_r1_500.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121215225418) did wear a college beanie. ---

My favorite episode was the one where Arnold could grunt in seven languages. 🆒 ---

(kind of a hijack) Back in the 70’s, during the Baader-Meinhof days, I dreamt up a terrorist group called Kommando Arnold Ziffel. I wanted to get shirts printed showing a pig holding an AK-47 silhouette, but never did:( I wanted to freak out the Germans. “Wer ist daß? Arnold Ziffel! Ein Schwein!?!? Bist du verrückt? Blöde Ami!” ---

I don’t recall, but I do hope to see more Green Acres content on the SMDB. (seriously!)
