I've been around this board long enough to see many threads dealing with "what ever happened to ___?"
Well, since the guy that wrote the Mr Ed theme song died this past week, I was doing a search for Mr Ed. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid (Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, and Davey Crockett also).
So, I'm a bit devastated to find that Mr Ed was really a zebra named Amelia, and that Mr Ed didn't really talk...GEESH!
Read about it for yourself...I need a beer to cry in.
