Featured review
Good Night, Sweet Prinze
"Ed Talks to God" earned the ignominious distinction of being the final episode for Freddie Prinze, who tragically took his own life mere hours after shooting was concluded. A surprise birthday party for Ed finds more cancellations than guests, but the timely arrival of B.J. Foster (Edward Andrews), former private first class in Ed's battalion during the war, is a definite surprise, if only because he read two years before that his buddy 'Blinky' Foster has died: "I read that too but I didn't believe it!" He's taking an aluminum leg for 'a little test hobble,' out in Los Angeles to visit his in-laws: "they haven't met my leg yet!" Ed's habit of speaking to the sky puzzles Blinky, who admits that he's cheerful, not happy: "there's a difference!" Chico convinces Blinky to impersonate God, in order to talk back to Ed: "even Rich Little doesn't imitate God!" Virtually our final look at Freddie Prinze sees him wearing a face full of cake, and not looking amused.
