The “Completely Mental” Intro

“I must say, it’s a mental misadventure, I must say!” The theme song is just as hyperactive and peculiar as Ed himself. With its bouncy beat and Ed’s famous catchphrases, it perfectly sets the stage for a show that mixes animation with live-action segments and plenty of Pat Sajak references!

Behind the Character: I Must Say!

Welcome to the world of Ed Grimley! This show is a unique piece of TV history from 1988. It brought Martin Short’s legendary character—originally from SCTV and Saturday Night Live—into a Saturday morning cartoon format produced by the famous Hanna-Barbera studio.

The show was “completely mental” because it didn’t just follow a normal story. It featured Ed’s obsessed love for Wheel of Fortune, his incredible triangular hair, and his science lessons with “The Gustav Brothers.” It even had live-action parts where Martin Short would appear as Ed in real life!

Even though it only ran for one season with 13 episodes, it remains a cult classic. The theme song captures that frantic, nervous, yet totally lovable energy that made Ed Grimley a household name in the late 80s. It’s a wonderful trip back to a time when animation could be truly weird and creative.
