"It's been a long time since I was a pony." These immortal words launched one of television's most unlikely, but enduring friendships between architect Wilbur Post and Mister Ed, his talking horse. What better escape from the onslaught of reality television than a thoroughbred example of unreality television? Although, so convincing is Alan Young as Wilbur, and so easy his rapport with his equine costar, that you really do believe a horse can talk (Ed's voice is courtesy of Western character actor Alan Lane). This two-disc set saddles up 21 episodes from the first three seasons of this Golden Globe-winning series, which was recently added to the TV Land stable of '60s retro faves. Director Arthur Lubin knew his way around the barn. He directed the best of the Francis series of talking-mule comedies. While the episode with Mae West is sadly absent, this set does include Ed's memorable encounters with Clint Eastwood (then starring on Rawhide), George Burns (who produced the series' pilot episode), and original diva Zsa Zsa Gabor. Young is a gifted comic actor in his own right, but just as George Burns had his Gracie, Young has his Ed, who gets all the good lines, as when Wilbur congratulates Ed on curing Zsa Zsa's fear of horses. Ed replies, "She cured my fear of Hungarians." But the writers took the show's surreal premise and galloped with it, as when Ed joins the beatnik set in "Ed, the Beachcomber." Sound unbelievable? We'll give Ed the last word, of course, of course. "Don't try to understand it," he advises Wilbur during their first meeting. "It's bigger than both of us." --Donald Liebenson

 huge fans of mister ed December 2, 2008
We bought this to show our kids ( 9 and 5 yo) and they absolutely loved it, they don't always get the jokes but love Ed and the trouble he gets in. We have watched it over and over, even in the car on road trips. I think that it is time to buy volume two.
The Good Old Days... November 2, 2008
The Best of Mister Ed-Volume One is a light hearted comedy series that I used to watch on TV when I was growing up. I am delighted to say that my grandchildren (12 & 7) enjoy the series as much as I did. They laugh at the same lines. It is timeless, ageless( I'm 62) and just good plain family fun! I recommend it to all.

Mister Ed Volume One December 29, 2007
If you have a child that loves horses this is a good gift for them. My 8 yr. old daughter loves horses but I was running out of "horse" gifts to get her. Mister Ed was a perfect addition to her horse things.
 Great show but DVD's are 'selected' shows, not all shows. December 14, 2007
Mr. Ed is a great classic comedy show from the early to mid 1960's. I barely remember seeing it as a small child so thought I'd bite and watch it as a now very mature adult. It's better than ever! I love the show but have two gripes. One is that they did not include ALL the episodes, such as all of season one. Instead there are a lot of episodes missing that it looks like we will never get to see. The second gripe is that someone needs to watch their quality control at the DVD pressing plant. I had to return the first factory sealed set because the factory scratched the DVDs, got fingerprints and goop all over them, and they wouldn't play as a result. I had to make a claim and get a refund, about a 3 week process, then buy the set again to get a copy that worked. It still had fingerprints fresh from the factory but at least it played. Seems they had a real slob working there pressing these DVDs.
