From the writer/producers of 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' this one-hour romantic comedy centers on Ed Stevens (Tom Cavanagh, NBC’s 'Providence'), a former New York lawyer who, after being fired and catching his wife cheating on him, decides to return to his hometown of Stuckeyville, Ohio.
Once there, Ed makes an effort to recapture his past. He pursues Carol Vessey (Julie Bowen, NBC’s 'ER'), the most popular girl from his high school class; and he moves in with his best friend Mike (Josh Randall, 'Angel'), a doctor whose multi-tasking wife Nancy (Jana Marie Hupp, NBC’s 'Friends') is valiantly trying to balance work and parenting. On an impulse, Ed buys the local bowling alley which becomes his impromptu law office. In no time, Stuckeybowl becomes the main hub of activity in town, allowing Ed to see his hometown and its eccentric citizens with fresh eyes.
While Carol is initially disinterested in Ed’s advances, she begins to succumb to her persistent suitor, encouraged by her persistent best friend and colleague Molly (Lesley Boone, 'High Incident').
'Ed' is produced by NBC Studios in association with Worldwide Pants, Inc. and Viacom Productions. The creators are Rob Burnett ('The Late Show with David Letterman') and Jon Beckerman ('The Late Show with David Letterman'). The executive producers are Rob Burnett, Jon Beckerman and David Letterman.
