Watch this please

Ed is back on Tv again.
(Channel 4 12:30pm (that's lunchtime in case I've mixed up PM and AM)).
If you have never watched I encourage you do so as it is exceedingly enjoyable and hilharious.

To try to persuade you to watch Ed I've decided to give a basic plot synopsis.

SO Plot Synopsis - There is this guy called Ed who is a top flight Lawyer. One day (seemingly at random from what I remember) he breaks up with his wife, returns to his hometown, buys a bowling alley and sets up his lawyer practice in this bowling alley (Stuckeyville bowl).
Each episode he either defends someone in a court case, tries to help a teenager, tries to win the affection of Carol Vessey (the local school teacher and head cheerleader from when he was at school) or tries to make his life better by looking at an incident in his past and improving upon it.
There's a cast of excellent sub characters (Phil who works in the bowling alley with his money making schemes, Mike the childhood friend who is a doctor, Warren Cheswick the troubled teenager, Molly the teacher who is overweight with a nice personality).

If that wasn't enough to convince you here is a breakdown of great things about Ed.

A) The theme tune is sometimes (depends on the season) "Next Year" by the Foo Fighters I like this song and thinks it's one of the only good songs on the album There is nothing left to lose.
B) Mike and Ed have bets with each on other which usually involve doing something embarrasing the bets are usually mightily bizzare.
C) Every episode has a moral and it is well implemented.
D) Ed is played by Tom Cavanagh who plays JD's brother in Scrubs.
E) Warren Cheswick is played by that guy who was the teenager in Dodgeball, the male lead in Jeepers Creepers and the Mechanic in the Herbie re make. He will forever play a teenager (just like Freddie Prinze jnr).
F) Carol Vessey is played by Julie Bowen who was a side character in Lost and one of Doctor Carter's girlfriends in ER.
G) Mike is played by this guy who was also a side character in Lost (I refered to him in Lost as Ed's mate).
H) Ed talks really quickly which is to be admired.
I) One of the side characters in the Stuckeybowl looks like John Goodman.
J) Ed got me through the summer of 2002.
K) The show lasted 83 episodes which a good amount (not too few or too many).
L) Ed ends with Ed marrying Carol Vessey so the show is completed (which doesn't happen that much on TV).
M) Ed's hometown is in Ohio and as everyone knows Ohio is the best state.
N) If you take the "T" from Stuckeyville it becomes Suckeyville this is intentional (maybe).
0) The guy who played Mike was also arrested on July 31, 2002 for allegedly smoking crack cocaine with a homeless man but charges were dropped.
P) Carol and Ed's wedding had a circus theme then halfway through the wedding they stopped (an the realisation it was a shit idea) and got married in the Stuckeyville bowl.
Q) There was a whole episode about a lucid dream Ed had after eating pickles.

I wanted to cover 26 (enough for the alphabet) great things about Ed but I ran out and started grasping at straws but don't let that put you off.
Watch Ed it breaks up the day.

Ed Stevens and Carol Vessey happiness that took just 83 episodes.
