The series produced 143 episodes all in classic black and white.

It ran for five seasons on CBS-TV from 1961 until 1966. Produced by Filmways Productions for the CBS Television Network.

There was talks for a fifth and final season of the series to make the jump from shades of gray to color. CBS at the time was experimenting with shows that were still in shades of gray for the 1965-1966 season. It never happened.

It was never in color. Haven't "Mister Ed" stayed on for a sixth season,audiences would have gotten to see this series in full color. It was cancelled in March of 1966.
