Interesting bit of trivia: His birth name was Angus Young.

I loved that show, and I watched it on Nick at Nite in the 1980s as a kid.

I much preferred Donald O’Connor and Frances the talking mule.

Enjoyed his work in "The Time Machine", too. RIP.

“Interesting bit of trivia: His birth name was Angus Young.”

Maybe they should have had him talking to a cow?

When we were younger (I won’t say how much younger), we used to parody the theme song...

“A corpse is a corpse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk with a corpse, of course,
That is, of course, unless the corpse
Is the famous Mr. Dead!”

I hope Mr. Young is where I hope to be. RIP.

I read that Howard Hughes was a big fan on Alan Post and Mr. Ed. Hughes made his last movie with Alan Post in the lead.

The voice of Mr Ed was Alan “Rocky” Lane, a Saturday afternoon western movie hero of mine over 60 years ago.

[Rastus]

He was a devout Christian, so I think he is.
