Double Edder

A horse is a horse, of course, of course

A new show will premiere Sunday night at 10 p.m. on HGTV called “Living With Ed.’’ It stars actor Ed Begley Jr., and his wife, Rachelle. It’s a promising concept of a reality show about the environment.

I know all this because my wife thinks HGTV (Home & Garden Network) is the only network on television. This show caught my attention because of the name, of course.

Then I got to thinking about the extraordinary number of TV shows and movies that have the character Ed in the title. I started naming off a few, then did some research for the others.

I was amazed at the high number with either Ed, Eddie or Edward in the title. So I compiled the most complete list I could.
