Summary: The Glue Factory Calls
Review: A talking horse cannot talk his way out of being sent to the glue factory. Hilarious. The shortest lived series on television, one show. Everyone realized the horse talked, thought they were crazy and then made some of the stickiest glue ever made. Great job.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Mr. ED is on DVD!
Review: I glad to see Mr. ED on dvd, finally. MGM did a great job on the transfer. I hope there will be more volumes and some extras next time like an interview with Alan Young and Connie Hines. But still this is a great set, go and Buy It.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Why not the entire First Season??
Review: I love Mister Ed and remember watching the show as a very small child in the early 1960's. My only complaint is why MGM didn't just release the entire First Season, as they did with Green Acres. As someone else said in their review, this would have given those who had never seen the show or didn't remember much about it a chance to watch the characters and the storyline develop. This is why I only rate these DVDs three stars. The show itself gets five stars from me, otherwise. It is one of my very favorite shows of all-time. They will never be able to do it justice or come anywhere near to recapturing the wonderful flavor of the original show or the innocence and simplicity of it's era, if the rumors of a movie and a new series are true. Besides, to me, the First Season had many of the best episodes, as is often true of most shows. It is strange that it is called Volume One, as well. Especially when it does seem that MGM has basically offered here, just an overview of the series, populated mainly with episodes featuring appearances by well-known stars. A pity, it should have been better. Hopefully, more will be forthcoming. I guess in the meantime that any Mister Ed is better than none. Also wondering why only 21 episodes of Mister Ed when MGM offers the entire First Season of Green Acres (32 episodes) for the same price?? Hmmmm............

Summary: Mister Ed
Review: I love watching Mister Ed. It brings me back to when I was just a small child and things were not like today! Doors could be left unlock - neighbor spoke to each other -- not like now. Plus I love then and still love now animals shows best!

I wished that they picked an unknown name with a good radio voice to play Mister Ed's new voice in stead of Sherman Helmsley as the voice of Mister Ed in the the series I here is coming to TV.

Summary: Great show. Great price. Wrong packaging approach.
Review: I loved Mr. Ed as a child and I haven't seen any re-runs since. I watched the pilot episode on this DVD set last night. It was still funny after all these years, and it looked awesome compared with the way it looked on the vacuum-tube round-screen televisions of the 1960's.

The problems are:

1. Double sided DVDs. I hate that! These are much easier to damage than single sided ones. I can't even tell one side from the other. Hold them up to a bright light and each side looks the same. Fine print in the center doesn't even tell me which side is which. And they are much more vulnerable to finger prints getting on the data medium. This is bad.

2. Overview of three years instead of just doing seasons in order like some of the other great sit-coms of that era. Let's just have seasons one through three in turn and let ME decide what the best episodes are! I would gladly pay the price of this set three times to get the entire series. Us baby-boomers have the extra cash, remember?

3. How about a bonus feature or two? Maybe an interview with someone having something to do with the show? Anything? (Still, a minor concern of mine next to having all the episodes properly packaged.)

So, this set is something good that could have been a lot better. A mediocre treatment of a great show.

Summary: Wonderful Show
Review: I preordered this show in November. I loved this show as a kid and 30 years later I still love it!! The concept of the show is funny. I have to tune in when Mister Ed is on TVLand to see what trouble he is getting Wilbur into. I can't wait to see the next volume! Would be nice if they just included all the episodes! If you are looking for a really good laugh, I highly recommend this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming and Delightful! Holds up well.
Review: I remember lovingly watching Mr Ed when I was young, although not a small child, in the 60's, so I thought I would buy this DVD when I heard it was coming out. I was expecting to find something perhaps childish and a little corny, but to my surprise, it's very funny--in fact, it holds up very well and is quite entertaining for everyone, not just the kids. Actually Ed can be quite frisky. The comedy is great for all the family, but I have to admit the show is always at it's best when Mr Ed is in the scene. It loses something when there is too much human enteraction and Ed is out of the picture. Mr Ed was truly one of a kind and that voice fit him perfectly. A still delightful and charming show.
