I used to watch that show and I don’t remember ever seeing Wilbur Post riding Mr. Ed.

It’s a really great theme song. “A horse is a horse, of course, of course...Something like that.

Mister Ed didn’t really like to be ridden, and Wilbur treated him like a favorite, spoiled child.

Well, insofar as Bud Abbott was the “straight man”, Lou Costello was definitely not the gay man. (Or was he? *gulp*)

I still remember him in Androcles in the Lion, which I saw first. I always loved that movie.

Well, in that band, Angus was always the teetotaler. He smokes like a chimney, though.

The horse’s real name was Bamboo Harvester.He was one well trained stallion,Alan rode him with just leads clipped to his halter-no bit in his mouth.
