Mister Ed was a sitcom that I remember well from my younger days growing up in New Jersey and Minnesota since it was a very funny, but one joke show that had a long run, thanks to the chemistry between star Alan Young and Mister Ed, whose would only talk to Wilbur. The scenes between the two would formulate most of the plots, such as the episode when Ed caused trouble and Wilbur locked him in his stall.
Also contributing to the mayhem were Connie Hines, who recently passed away as Wilbur's wife Carol and Larry Keating and Edna Skinner as the Addisons. After Keating's death, his role was not recast and he was replaced by Leon Ames, who portrayed Gordon Kirkwood.
The one episode that I remember the most was when Mister Ed played baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the horse slid into home plate. It was one of the show's most memorable moments.
The theme song was a classic, salvaged by co-writer Jay Livingston's vocal after an opera singer sang the original so poorly that the producers were looking for a new theme. We'll always remember the opening line "A horse is a horse of course."
