Everybody knows that Mr. Ed was a talking horse, of course, of course. And for the Toobworld Dynamic, he was descended from the talking horses known as the Houyhnhnms, first encountered by Lemuel Gulliver. What you might not have realized was that Mr. Ed was not only a talker but a serlinguist, able to converse through the dimensional veil with us in the Trueniverse.
He wasn't talking to Wilbur; he was looking straight into the camera and addressing the Trueniverse audience.
And now, his great great great (perhaps more?) grandson is continuing that tradition, as a spokesman for DirecTV.
Somewhere along that family line, Mr. Ed's descendants moved to Australia because this new talking horse has a down under accent.
As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"
