ED - 2004 UNSOLD PILOTS LOWLIGHTS Foywonder 2022-06-09 | One of the most ill-conceived unsold pilots ever may have been this failed 2004 Fox attempt to reboot the classic 1961 family sitcom about a man named Wilbur and his talking horse Mr. Ed that boasted a talented cast including the likes of Sherilyn Fenn, Sara Paxton, and Sherman Hemsley as the voice of the horse, but made the bizarre choice to fill the pilot with dumb sex jokes and an uncomfortable plot centered around Wilbur and Mr. Ed working together to save his teenage daughter's virginity from a horny, dimwitted jock.

This one really needs to be properly subbed and brought to Western audiences.
