When we were young, we'd always make fun of the theme song of this show. This show was great for showing imagination, & throwing a punch line. This is one of the few family comedies of it's time where the main family doesn't have any kids, but a talking horse in his second childhood.
Alan Young plays a straight man for the horse, & actually his ways of covering for when Mr Ed almost gets caught talking are very much the same as when a certain Major Nelson was trying to cover for his Genie. The difference is that Mr. Ed is more of a hay burner where Barbara Eden is more of a jet burner.
Ed is portrayed as your average white horse who just happens to talk but mostly only to his owner, Wilbur, or to anybody on the telephone. His antics are always amusing & great fodder for the kids.
