Mister Ed/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Discontinuity - Ed's color-blindness. There are two episodes which revolve around Ed wanting a color TV. In the first episode Wilbur refuses to buy him one, stating that all horses are color-blind. Ed proves him wrong by pointing out the color of the clothes he's wearing. In the second episode Ed wins a color TV in a trivia contest, and a fight among Ed and Wilbur ensues about whether it will go in the house or the barn. In the end Ed steals the TV and watches it in the barn, and decides to let Wilbur have it, since he discovered he was (you guessed it) color-blind.
  • Ear Worm: The theme song is the reason most people remember this show.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: If you watch the series carefully, you'll notice that Alan Young is quite skilled at doing foreign accents. Guess who he had to do a Scottish accent for many years later?
    • It's even more hilarious when he calls a character "Mr. Scrooge" in a Christmas-themed episode.
