Fan Page: The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

PERSONAL FAVORITE!!! The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley was the last "New" cartoon I ever made a point of waking up early enough to watch. Martin Short's "Ed Grimley" character was all the rage with my nerdy little friends and I, we impersonated him all the time and were ecstatic to see a weekly show of his adventures. And of course, the cherry on the top of this totaly mental misadventure every week was the bonus live-action COUNT FLOYD!!!

(The back-story of Count Floyd, as loyal viewers of SCTV knew, is that he was an anchorman for the SCTV Evening News Team who made money on the side by hosting the late-night horror movies and, later, bringing the B-movies to Saturday Mornings for the kids).

Love, love, LOVE this show! Share the love in the comments below and then go vote for Ed in our Best Of 1988/1989 Poll!

God, did I loved this show! The entire show kept me entertained! You forgot to mention the 2 mad scientists that were in the show! I think it was Jonathan Winters & maybe Arte Johnson as the voices? they were a hoot! The one ep I remember was when Ed was on a alien planet & he stops a war by making the alien queen's tuna casserole better with paprika!!
