I haven't seen the one on Green Acres, but the font on the B-52's album
looks like hand-lettering. Look closely at the 'E's. They're not identical.
Neither Adobe nor Bitstream have the font. (Dom Casual is the closest.)
The Image Club has something called "Balloon" which is vaguely close but
also would have to be stretched horizontally. It's also somewhat slanted
whereas the font on the B-52s album is upright.
