Fear Factor without the larvae --National Post

Product Description

Fresh off the tour, and not ready to record a new album, ED’S UP! puts Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson through grueling days of pain and hard work across and around North America. Each episode has Ed at a new set of coordinates for a new job with a new boss. Each episode begins on a dare as Ed has to find enough water to land his plane safely, then get to work as an air force pilot, in an race car pit crew, and as a Hospital janitor in Brooklyn. This pampered prince had better suck it up and get to work. This is less a TV show, more of a hard days work. A job has to get done, and Ed is here to do it. ED’S UP! for anything. Does he have what it takes to work in an abattoir, an underground gold mine, or with an alligator biologist with live alligators?! Throughout it all, Ed tells us how he really feels, what he really sees, and how tired he really is. Ed Robertson finds out what the rest of us call a hard days work.

This review is from: Ed's Up: The Best of Season One (DVD)

First off, I live in the US, so we all know this show isn't aired here. Being a huge Barenaked Ladies fan, I decided to buy the DVD. I love this series! Ed takes on the tough challenges by doing a bunch of back-breaking jobs, which are extremely interesting and exciting. Ed also has his hilarious sense of humor throughout the episodes, so there are bright spots to all the hard work he does. Overall, extremely cool series, and if you are a fan of Barenaked Ladies, i think you fill find it interesting to see the wild side of Ed Robertson.

You are going to love this! Very similar and just as funny! Love that Ed can just let it roll off his back when he has a hard time with a job (Tree Planting) or just doesn't know how! Can't wait for the other seasons and or episodes to appear!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ed is the MAN!, May 11, 2010

Ed Robertson is many things: charming, funny and ... not afraid of anything! I just recently discovered this series on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) and it has quickly become one of my favourite shows. In every episode, Ed flies his plane to a different location without knowing what job awaits him. Hilarity almost always ensues. I CANNOT wait for Season 2 and 3 to come out on DVD!
BUY THIS DVD! You will not regret it!
