What happens

Ed is an American comedy drama television series created by Jon Beckerman and Rob Burnett that aired on NBC from October 8, 2000, to February 6, 2004. Executive produced by David Letterman, the show was produced by Letterman's Worldwide Pants Incorporated in association with NBC Productions and Viacom Productions. The hour-long comedy drama starred Tom Cavanagh as the lead titular character Ed Stevens, Julie Bowen as his love interest Carol Vessey, Josh Randall as his long-time best friend Dr. Mike Burton, Jana Marie Hupp as Mike's wife Nancy, Lesley Boone as their friend Molly Hudson, and Justin Long as awkward high-school student Warren Cheswick. Other supporting cast members included Michael Genadry and Ginnifer Goodwin as Warren's friends Mark and Diane, and Michael Ian Black, Mike Starr, Rachel Cronin, and (later) Daryl Mitchell as the employees of Ed's bowling alley. Long-term guest stars included John Slattery as Dennis Martino and Sabrina Lloyd as Frankie Hector. Ed received casting, writing, and directing Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 2001. Tom Cavanagh received a Golden Globe Award nomination and a TV Guide Award for his work on the series. The series has never been released on DVD nor on any streaming services, in part due to music rights and the show being co-owned by two studios. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
