Saddle up for the most hilarious episodes from Seasons 1-4 of this all-time TV favorite! The worlds most famous talking horse, Mister ED, is back, along with his hapless owner, Wilbur Post ( Alan Young ), in this collectible DVD giftset. Giddyup!

"Its been a long time since I was a pony." These immortal words launched one of televisions 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 ( EDs 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 Eds 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 Zsas fear of horses. ED replies, "She cured my fear of Hungarians." But the writers took the shows surreal premise and galloped with it, as when ED joins the beatnik set in "ED, the Beachcomber." Sound unbelievable Well give ED the last word, of course, of course. "Dont try to understand it," he advises Wilbur during their first meeting. "Its bigger than both of us."
