Summary: Great balance between entertainment and info sharing
Comment: I think Season One if fantastic, as Ed, Rachelle, and the production team found a fine balance between providing entertainment and useful information. Not for those who are hard-core environmentalists? Perhaps, but I count myself as one, and I had a blast watching this!

Summary: Not realistic
Comment: I was expecting more from Ed with this series. I came away disappointed. The series is basically about doing anything you can to be environmentally friendly. However, this is done at all costs. The average American cannot go out and buy solar panels for their sub 2000 sf home. Ed takes you on a journey each episode and basically buys items on a whim that are environmentally friendly. $20-$30k solar panels, $95.00 rain barrel, solar ovens(that noone realistically has time to wait on to cook), $45k Phoenix Motorcars Pickup. You this show only as a guide. Plant more trees and replace your worn out vehicle with a Jetta TDI and burn biodiesel. Buy energy star appliances when you replace your old ones. Get a rain barrel when you can afford one. You can't have both solar panels and trees.

Summary: college environmental issues course
Comment: Ed is not eccentric; he is about saving this spinning ball. He was a hit in my environmental issues class at Clemens College.

Summary: Must have for people that want to live green
Comment: Living with Ed is a great show for people wanting more ideas to live green. Ed and his wife make an entertaining pair. She is very spirited with some of his outlandish ideas and he has that great dry sense of humor. Anyone that wants to protect our earth and anyone that wants to be more energy independent (who in their right mind would not?) will really enjoy this show.
BTW, one reviewer wrote "Conservatives of previous generations found prosperity through frugality, but in today's culture, conservatism and conservation share only a word root." As a conservative that practices green living, I take offense to this biased statement. I think both sides of the political sprectrum will really enjoy this and benefit from the green living that Ed demonstrates. I personally have added solar panels to my roof, double pane windows, florescent light bulbs, am an active recycler, and have done numerous other ways to go green. This show is not political and its ideas are something can be agreed on by everyone.

Summary: Ed inspires Us to Live Better with Less Negetive Impact on the Envioroment
Comment: Ed & Rachel did a marvelous show about what measures Ed goes to in order to save money and live with less impact on our enviroment. I was hanging on everything that Ed was trying to say and demonstrate. I would have given this a five star but felt the importance of what Ed was trying to convey was trivialized. Ed is such a profound example for all of us. Being from Southern California can relate to Eds passion about saving endangered species, resources like clean air, water conservation, reusing materials, living with less dependancy on fossil fuels. Please bring season 2 to DVD!.
