Earlier today, my roommate was flipping through the channels when we found that the pilot episode of “Ed” was playing on TBS! I checked online and it looks like it’s part of the regular schedule at 11am central so now I can tape it every day. Anybody else excited about this?

Hell, yeah, I’m excited! I love “Ed” and can’t wait for it to be released on DVD.

Awesome. I love Ed – I didn’t discover it until the second season though, and NBC almost never re-ran old episodes. Maybe now I can finally see how the show started.

I personally thought that season 2 was kind of subpar (Ed got a little …crazy? almost hostile sometimes), so I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the season 1 episodes. Although they got back on track with season 3.
