Mister Ed
Wilbur Post and his wife Carol move into a beautiful new home. When Wilbur takes a look in his new barn, he finds that the former owner left his horse behind. This horse is no ordinary horse . . . he can talk, but only to Wilbur, which leads to all sorts of misadventures for Wilbur and his trouble-making sidekick Mister Ed.

Saw this as a kid in black and white on Dutch TV, probably early Sunday mornings when the grown-ups were still asleep.
A talking horse? Sure, why not.
Wilbur Post moves into a house with a barn and inside that barn is Mister Ed, a horse who only talks to him.
As a kid, I didn’t question it. The lips moved, the voice came out and it was hilarious.
Mister Ed was sarcastic, clever and always causing trouble.
Wilbur was the straight man, constantly trying to explain away the chaos.
The show was gentle, silly and oddly comforting.
No violence, no stress, just a man and his horse having sitcom misadventures.
