I have both "Mister Ed" DVD sets, and both are excellent. The second set has the edge, because by 1964 "Mister Ed" was hitting on all cylinders. This set has at least four classic TV episodes: "Ed Visits a Gypsy" (one of the best-written sitcoms ever, with Ed "itching to have his hoof read" by a gypsy so that he'll know whether the filly he loves will treat him like a doormat if they get married); "Mae West Meets Mister Ed" (hysterical, with Mae getting interested in Wilbur Post's "associate" [the last syllable rhymes with "weight" here] on the phone, because of his "deep masculine voice"); and the two part "Coldfinger" episode (a parody of James Bond wherein Wilbur and Ed stop a plot to smuggle secrets out of the United States via a Chinese woman fan-dancing a wicked "hip code" that Wilbur cracks and performs for the feds). Watching these episodes has given me new admiration for all the actors involved. Connie Hines does superb supporting work as Carol, Wilbur's long-suffering wife. Leon Ames is inimitable as Wilbur's old military commander next door, "The Colonel" (even his wife calls him that). Florence MacMichael as Winnie, the Colonel's wife, shows her range when she imitates Mae West. Alan Young is brilliant playing straight man to a horse. And whoever trained the palomino deserves credit; Mister Ed can do just about anything, including driving a van (in a sequence worthy of Chaplin or Keaton). Hearing Mae call Ed "just a playful baby" is worth all of the sitcoms in the last ten years alone. Highly recommended.
