Hot "suce?" Have you been talking to Ralph?

I made my previous comments knowing full well that was how they did it. What I don't get is how they did the proper timing. I guess I should go back and look at the old footage and see what I can catch.

It's like some of the days where it looked like Bewitched had gone ultra-low budget!

They probably just gave him some and filmed, then cut it into the story whenever they needed it!

The theories about the peanut butter or plastic mesh or whatever are complete bunk. Alan Young, in interviews, always told the peanut butter on the gums story. But even he admitted for the first time in a TV Land special that the peanut butter story was false. The trouble is, his new explanation is just as unbelieveable as the peanut butter theory. He said that Ed was trained, or had simply learned to move his mouth whenever those around him stopped talking. Another BS story, IMO. After all, when Wilber and anyone else were having a conversation in front of Mr. Ed, he never spoke at those times.

I wonder if that "story" of peanut butter came over from the "Francis the talking Mule" movies?
