Anyone besides me remember the talking horse, Mr. Ed? This show was almost as dumb as My Mother The Car! Good grief there were some stupid sitcoms in the 1960s!

RIP - Alan Young, who played straight man to a horse! And now I can't get the theme song out of my head: "A horse is a horse, of course, of course....."

Of course I remember Mr. Ed! I even had a Mr. Ed puppet that you pulled the sting and he talked! Loved that show as a kid. RIP Mr. Young.....thankyou for the laughs and the fun!

I liked that show! Now I've got that dumb song going around in my head!

Wow! He led a good long life.

Yes - I remember watching this show when I was a kid! Now I have that song in my head too!!!

Also the actor who played Patty Dukke's father on her show passed away last week. He was 93 I think.

Does anyone remember the predecessor to Mr. Ed, Francis the Talking Horse? It was one of the first movies I saw in a theater.

Alan Young was also Scrooge McDuck in cartoons.

Correction: It was Francis the talking mule most with Donald O'Connor. Add Alan young to the list of those I did not know were still with us till now.
