McConaughey uses that winning smile to perfection, even as he has an early morning, half asleep fiddle with his genitals. Ratings soar! The talent of the cast (not to mention it's director Ron Howard) lends a great deal of life to Edtv. A few days into the shoot Ray throws over his girlfriend Shari (Jenna Elfman) and Ed wins her as his new lover. ![]() Ed takes on the challenge partly because he's pretty broke and partly because he's bored, urged on by his little hoper, small brained, big muscled brother Ray played by Woody Harrelson. They audition and choose Ed (Mathew McConaghey), a rangy, slobbish video store worker who's been once or twice bitten in love the sort of fellow who goes out with a beer mug tied around his neck. The producers of a failing TV network decide to take a punt and try a new format - a real TV doco on an ordinary life. EDtv is a fairly black comedy, a satire on modern TV culture.
