A55 and the $10 bet - what a great beginning to the show!

Really didn't like this show. Everyone on it was annoying, especially Lisa Ling. Carol was acting awful. I wanted Ed to bitchslap her for going after the story after he asked her not to. No Eli or kids, so that was okay. Parnell and Sanz were good, but the material was lacking. Really dissapointing.

Okay, it's bad enough with Ed & Carol having problems. Add to that Mike & Nancy having problems in the same show? And then the two DJs having problems? UGH! Whose bright idea was that?
"Hey, I can't think of anything funny to write for this episode."
"Me neither... I've been spent ever since Phil's backflip."
"Guys, I got it! Let's have everyone bitch at each other for the entire hour! Even the guest stars!"
"That's not very funny."
"Well... can you think of anything else?"
"Hm. No. Guess we're going with that!"
And then Molly is there as the eye-rolling Voice of Wisdom. Give this woman her own plotline again! I can't believe that Cheswick, Diane, and Mark get multiple plotlines, and Molly hasn't had anything since Adulterous Bowling Lane Repair Guy!
I'd like to be a sender for a second, and maybe the Ed writers out there could be receivers. Ready? Here we go.
"When every damn show for the past year (or however long) has Ed and Carol not getting along, I feel like finding you and kicking you in the nuts."

What an awful episode! Ed and Carol were both acting so bad that I just wanted to change the channel. And could the DJs have been any more annoying?
Hopefully the Kelly Ripa episode next week will redeem this show. Geez.

I thought it was a good episode. Not great, but nice.
Mike and Nancy were funny and Ed giving Carol the white roses at the end was sweet. Now they can at least get along until Carol breaks off the wedding to be with Ed.
I can see why "Kenny" left. Shirley had about 2 seconds of screen time.
Bring on Kelly Ripa! Poor, poor Ed.
Honk! Honk!

I thought the episode was kinda crappy. Can we now say that the show has jumped the shark? The kiss on last season's finale had to be the final moment of greatness for Ed. Maybe Kelly Ripa can bring something to the show next week. It looked like Ed may get him some from the trailer. Is there any talk of putting the great first season on dvd? According to a TV Ratings website I went to Ed(#46) was just on spot above Providence(#47) and we all know that Providence has been canceled.

The episode as a whole stunk, BUT did you all miss the last two minutes where Ed and Carol made up? If Ed is done being a jackass then things should be looking up. I will take this episode as a necessary evil if it gets the show turned around. Now Ed can lighten up and the show won't have to be such a downer all the time.

Ugh, just watched it, blech. If I was out at the store, I used to rush home to make sure I caught Ed, now I'm just indifferent. Sad to say it, but Ed's lost it 
I have Everwood and West Wing still left.

yep...it looks like ed's losing it....the novelty has worn off, and what we're left with is the reality that the whole show was predicated on ed/carol tension....and that does not a long-term series make....at least not with these writers 
this was probably the lamest hour of Ed yet....here's hoping something turns it around (which unfortunately i don't think can happen without getting Ed and Carol together....and that's their own damn fault)

Ed had the right idea. Continue treating Carol like crap, she seems to be drawn to those who do. The wedding is soon, how is it going to fall through? It has to, doesn't it? Otherwise the main story is ruined.
Regarding the radio show hosts, are there really even shows like that? I know there are "wacky" morning zoo shows, but those characters they were doing were beyond terrible. Sherlock Holmes-boy? Sally the Sass-tronaut? A show like that would be off the air within six months.
Honk!
