Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

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.

bozey45 As one who never saw many of the episodes of the series back in the 60's when it first aired, I had to see the series from the beginning on THIS-TV. I have to disagree with a poster earlier who said this was made for kids; the books may have that the series was based on but if you watch it today you see much of the humor and dialog is aimed at adults. The interaction between Wilbur and Ed was made even better by the fact that Allan 'Rocky' Lane voiced his Mr. Ed lines right there on set, not recorded later in a voice-over studio. The palomino used as Mr. Ed was very well trained as you notice when viewing the series and the still secret method of making his mouth move was just an extra added attraction. Those disguises on Ed like the large glasses just added to the reality of the show. You have to think what was going through the mind of that horse when filming the series. The supporting players were great on this series from the original couple next door to the last couple next door. Larry Keating having been the neighbor to Burns and Allen for year on their show fit right in as a neighbor and Leon Ames, a veteran TV actor, perfect as Wilbur's former Commander. And what can one say about the beautiful Connie Hines as his bewildered wife? Guest stars were numerous on the series and must have loved the exposure, even Mae West and Zsa Zsa wanted to guest. Until you view this series today, to say that it was totally for kids is a big mistake.

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.

Jason Platt Mr. Ed has the reputation of being a silly sitcom that is mainly for children which is probably due to the story centering on a horse that speaks English. However, I consider myself a person with sophisticated tastes and I adore this sitcom and consider it one of the greatest sitcoms ever. The writing is sophisticated and witty. The interplay between all the characters is hilarious and the performances are uniformly marvelous. I think that Allan (Rocky) Lane (Mr. Ed's voice), and Larry Keating, are particularly underrated in this sitcom. Alan Young is also outstanding and his comic mannerisms are a sight to behold--he is very similar to John Ritter with his wonderful combination of slapstick comedic flair and appealing personality. The fights between Wilbur and his wife are especially well-written and performed. A truly special sitcom that has never received its due credit--especially for the writing.
