DVD Reviews of Living with Ed: Season 1

DVD Review: Season one is a great kickoff for a fun and informative program.
Summary: 5 Stars

Actually I have to confess that I've watch the series several times over. I just finally broke down and decided to buy the DVD.

Living with Ed gives you an overview of many ways that you could live green. As you may notice, some of them are practical and others are quite expensive. Yet in the long run even the expensive ones are not that expensive because by downsizing the house there is money left over to be able to put into technologies such as solar panels and electric cars.

I even bought the book. As with the series, it does not have a good list of where to get the items that are shown. It is just being aware that such products exist that makes the series useful. However, I wonder how antagonistic the couple (Ed and Rachelle Begley) really is and what is put on for our entertainment.

I intend to purchase the second season also.


Who Killed the Electric Car?

DVD Review: Great balance between entertainment and info sharing
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

DVD Review: Not realistic
Summary: 2 Stars

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.

DVD Review: college environmental issues course
Summary: 5 Stars

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

DVD Review: Must have for people that want to live green
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
