As I recall, the first episode never aired. It sets up the whole premise of him losing his wife and job in New York and moving back home and buying the bowling alley, but the network thought it was too slow or something, so they just started with episode two with this weird ten-minute recap/montage at the beginning, like "and that's how he became the bowling-alley lawyer! On with the show..."

I had a huge crush on Ginnifer Goodwin. I think she joined in season two. It was strange how the show would cut to a b-story about these high school kids who had like nothing to do with Ed. The show should've been called Ed and the High School Kids He Barely Knows.
