Mister Ed – The Complete Third Season (1962 – 1963/Shout Factory DVD Set)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C     Extras: D     Episodes: B+

 

 

Wilbur and Carol are back with Mister Ed in Season 3 with more laughter and more mischief.  More often than not, Wilbur finds himself in trouble with his talking smart-alec companion and his quick witted talking horse.  Join Wilbur and Ed as they continue to poke fun as well as drive their neighbors, The Addisons up the wall.  In this season Ed gets amnesia, goes into show biz, deals with the secret service and much more...
 
This is a comical series based on the loveable owner with his talking horse.  Wilbur Post is married middle class American with a talking horse, Mister Ed (who talks only to him) that is more like an extended family member than a pet.  The two characters are neigh inseparable (seeing how Wilbur's office is right next to the stable) Mister Ed is able to walk freely in the barn, office, house or yard, and seeing how he can open doors, use the phone or even the typewritter...  Ed causes Wilbur more trouble often than not. It is a wonderful series that has captured the hearts of the viewers.
 
A blast from the past, Mister Ed was created in the 60s, almost 2 decades before I was born.  Before special effects, before CG, before even color TV see what was considered entertainment and comedy on TV.  Even after its final aired episode, this series is well remembered, it is cherished and loved many generations afterwards, if there is ever a reference to a talking horse anyone knows it's Mister Ed.  This series fulfills the childhood dream of have a horse and imagining what it would be like if an animal can talk back to you.
