Reviews

mfredenburg After the passing of Alan Young on May 19 (2016) of this year I fired up a few episodes of Mr. Ed in tribute to Mr. Young. Having watched it as a kid I was curious how it would hold up. It was still funny and witty and held up quite well. All the episodes are available on youtube in good quality. It easily holds its own with many of the more current comedies being put out today. Given that it is nearly 50 years old you don't have cell phones, but you do have party lines and gossipy neighbors. Of course you also have a world-wise talking horse who is integrated quite cleverly into each week's plot line. It is not a bad option for family TV time as both kids and adults can appreciate it. Some sexual innuendo of a mild nature, but still a "G" viewing experience.

jfff7773 I gotta admit that even as a grown man I find Mr. Ed super funny. I'm a kid of the 70's and growing up watching TRUE family fare like Mr Ed, Brady Bunch, etc. B&W TV was common in those days, so I have a certain appreciation for TV in it's Golden Age. There's no replacing the sheer genius of good physical comedy. Lost in the discussion over Mr Ed is the fact that Allan Young, Ed's 'sidekick' Wilbur Post was a masterful physical comic and really made the show. One thing that I like about classic TV/Movies is that the stars were most often accomplished in other areas; stage, music, dance, the professionalism and competence-the timing, I guess-was excellent. Just saw an episode where Edna Skinner, that played Neighbor Kay Addison, sang a song in preparation for a talent show in which she sang a song so beautifully. Again, she'd been an accomplished songstress b4 TV, and the characters were always easy to like.And Mr. Ed himself!: All willful but loyal equine best friend perfectly characterized by Allan"Rocky"Lane, again a cowboy star of the 40's&50's that found a perfect role as the voice of Mr Ed in the 60's after his film career was all but over. HE SOUNDED LIKE A HORSE WOULD SOUND IF HE COULD TALK! Mr Ed is a gas on late nite TV. I gotta tell y'all, I miss this stuff and look forward to being an old guy watching 100 year old episodes on American TV. DO you think people in the MidEast would be so serious and angry if they'd grown up watching senselessly fun, unserious American TV shows like Mr Ed? I know, a talking horse would surely offend someones moral/religious sensibilities(what doesn't) so that's probably my decadent, blasphemous American mind working against me. Whatever, dude.

ferrari2007 I loved this programme back in the 1960s and would love to get it on DVD for a bit of nostalgic viewing, but it is not available in UK format.I have got some of my own dusty video recordings from when it was repeated on UK TV about ten years ago, and one of my favourite episodes was the keep fit one.I would like to get a DVD collection, and I am sure there are plenty of others in the UK who would buy the collection for nostalgia.Are there any plans to put Mister Ed on DVD in UK format, does anyone know?We loved it in the UK as well.

Lee Eisenberg Wilbur Post (Alan Young) seems like an average person, with a wife named Carol (Connie Hines), a house, and a steady job as an architect, except for one thing: his horse.As the theme song reminds us: "A horse is a horse, of course, of course..." But Ed is no ordinary equine. He talks, albeit only to his owner (Ed calls Wilbur "the only person worth talking to"). Not only does Ed talk, he causes all sorts of trouble, which always gets pinned on Wilbur. Whether eating Carol's tomatoes or pulling down neighbor Roger Addison's (Larry Keating) TV antenna, that palomino always has something up his sleeve, er...hoof. Oftentimes, Ed will do something around a stranger, causing a lot of confusion for the latter.As for other aspects of the show, Wilbur somehow always has the worst luck, not even necessarily caused by Ed's tricks. Carol is truly one hot babe. Roger and Kay (Edna Skinner) can fluctuate between sour and good-neighborly. Overall, the show is pretty silly, but it's not doing any harm. I recommend it.
