A Horse is a Horse (Excerpt)
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse, of course
That is, of course, unless the horse
Is the famous Mister Ed …
Mister Ed
Starring Connie Hines and Alan Young
A Horse is a Horse
Of Course, Of Course
In 1961 American television audiences were introduced to the most famous talking horse of all time. Mister Ed was no ordinary horse. In addition to holding in-depth conversations with his owner Wilbur Post, Mister Ed flew an airplane, played chess and ping pong, schmoozed with Hollywood celebrities, and even rode a surfboard.
The show lasted six seasons and attracted a number of notable guest stars, including Clint Eastwood, Zsa Zsa Gabor, George Burns, Donna Douglas, Nancy Kulp, Leo Durocher, Vin Scully, Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby), and film legend Mae West who was a personal friend of the show’s producer, Arthur Lubin. Mister Ed won a Golden Globe award for Best TV Show, Comedy in 1963.

A Filmways Presentation
Mister Ed was the first television series to debut as a midseason replacement. The situation comedy aired in syndication from January 5 to July 2, 1961, and then on CBS from October 1, 1961 to February 6, 1966. The star of the show is Mister Ed, an intelligent palomino American Saddlebred, “played” by gelding Bamboo Harvester and voiced by Allan Lane.

Much of the program’s humor is at the expense of Ed’s owner Wilbur Post, the only person with whom Ed will speak. The show’s producer, Arthur Lubin, chose Alan Young as Wilbur because he “just seemed like the sort of guy a horse would talk to.” Connie Hines was delightful in the role of Carol Post, though the show’s story lines focused on the relationship and antics between Wilbur and Mister Ed.

Don’t yell at me, Wilbur. I’m not your wife.
Well, time to hit the hay … Oh I forgot, I ate it!
Hey Wilbur … what do you say we go out riding and pick up a couple of fillies?

Wilbur speaks! Mister Ed’s owner reminisces about one of the most beloved classic television shows. Alan Young began his show business career as a child radio performer. By the 1950s he was starring in The Alan Young Show and winning Emmys. When CBS refused his request to adopt a three-camera film technique developed by Desi Arnaz and Al Simon, Alan’s live show floundered and was eventually canceled. His next television role, as the sidekick to a talking horse, put his career back on track. Mister Ed was one of a handful of syndicated shows picked up by a network.

We had some marvelous outtakes, but the producer had destroyed them all.
