Take the world's only talking horse. Add four Hermits. Throw in a Herman just 'cause he's cute. And what do you have?
After spending over a month in California to film their movie, Herman and the boys decided they liked sunshine and didn't want to leave.
Mr. Ed, being the world's most clever horse and the world's only talking horse, knew a good thing and asked the boys if they'd like to be on his television show.
Everyone knows that hermits are great animal lovers so how could they turn down a chance to spend a few more days goofing around in the sun with good ol' Mr. Ed.
Herman also took advantage of the chance and asked the world's cleverist horse to help him find a title for the movie the Hermits had just finished. It seems the studio big-wigs are having a bad time making up their minds.
Herman likes "There's No Place Like Space" but Ed suggested that "Hold On!" might be better, or maybe a combination of the two - "Hold On! There's No Place Like Space."
We'll have to wait for the final decision to see if they take Ed's suggestion.
Joining Ed and the Hermits were the co-stars of the show, Alan Young and Connie Hines. The episode is scheduled to be shown sometime before Christmas.
Herman and the Hermits finally fan out of excuses for not going home and left for England, but they leave behind another loyal fan, Mr. Ed.
MY FRIEND THE HORSE - Look Ed, you and I are friends, right? I mean I let you come watch me make my movie and you let me come be on your show and we all had a lot of fun didn't we? And I didn't say anything about you being able to talk, right? So how about being a true pal and getting off my foot!
