Ed is somewhat like his daughter, Muffy, in the way that he can be a snob at times | Ed is somewhat like his daughter, Muffy, in the way that he can be a snob at times. He is, however, kind and a good parent as seen in "[[How the Cookie Crumbles]]." He had talked to Muffy about her situation where she wasn't giving her friends any credit and he had said: "''A lie is a lie even when you get away with it''." Muffy had then said "And being a car salesman, he won't stand for any lying!" which can be interpreted as her father being a fair man who doesn't scam people into buying his cars. Ed also seems to spoil Muffy, as seen in "[[The Cherry Tree]]." When made head coach of the [[Lakewood Elementary Soccer Team]], he stressed the importance of honest play and practice. He did not show favoritism to his daughter but did provide positive encouragement. Despite his high-class lifestyle, Ed showed good grace when staying in a shelter in "[[Shelter from the Storm]]." | ||

*Ed's middle name, Edsel, is likely a reference to the car of the same name from the Ford Motor Company. This is presumably an inside joke, as the Edsel was the late 50s and early 60s car model, the name of which remains synonymous in popular culture with commercial failure. It might also be a reference to Henry Ford's son, who was named for the car. | *Ed's middle name, Edsel, is likely a reference to the car of the same name from the Ford Motor Company.
