In the opening of the first few episodes (the first couple of the ones with no lyrics)

The "Hello I'm Mr Ed" sounds VERY different. It almosts sounds more like someone trying to do Rocky Lane.

The also later reshot the door opening shot, which Ed fumbles a bit in the first couple, opening one at a time sort of.

Yeah--it DID sound different. The page I'd referenced, for my own, had said that Sheldon Allman, who wrote "Pretty Little Filly" did the singing voice for Ed --so maybe he also did the talking voice, for those--or maybe, Allan Rocky Lane was just finding his perfect rythm. Did you notice that in the first episodes--or maybe just the pilot of "My Favortite Martian," Ray Walston's voice was different? He was finding his rythm. Pilot ep, he seemed rather grouchy, and out of it--later, he was perfect.

Not hadn't really notice a vocal difference in early MFM, but yes he was intitially more of a "superior" grouch. (I'll have to pay more attention next time it runs)

Maybe what the movie producers decided on rather than the end product... I was really disgusted my MFM the movie as much as I like Christopher Lloyd as and actor... who proved he could be a lot of fun in that kind of role in the earlier BTTF movies.

I'd say the same thing of the Adam's Family movies... just none of the just for the fun of it chemistery the TV cast had.... taken much too seriously, and again even a bit downright nasty..
