How this season is filed

Filed by Vivian Cross · The Carpet Report

Mister Ed is the talking-horse sitcom that should have been a one-joke disaster and instead ran for years. Alan Young's Wilbur is the only human who must manage equine gossip while the palomino (voiced by Allan Lane) steals every scene. High-concept silliness executed with vaudeville patience — and a theme song that still colonizes the brain on contact.
