My mother asked me to post this. It's been saying "last episode" on the previews this week, not "season finale." Does this mean it's over?

Yes, the series is over. I haven't read anything about the whys or wherefores, so not sure if it was "cancelled" or just decided it was time to end it. They do tie up lose ends, though.

Ed was almost cancelled last year but didn't get cut in the end. I assume they knew the writing was on the wall and wrapped it up this year.

TV Guide did mention yesterday that they've been touting it as "final" episode. They haven't heard anything official...but they did say they were saddened by it.

This was the take on Ed's cancellation in TVGuide Online's Entertainment News section today:
NO TIME TO SPARE: NBC has been touting Friday's wedding-themed Ed as the show's "final" episode — and for once it seems the Peacock's promo department is telling it like it is. "It's been a terrific run, but the odds are this is its final season," NBC entertainment president Jeff Zucker tells TV Guide Online. Although Zucker adds there's a small chance the 4-year-old dramedy could return next season — "We're going to leave ourselves a little flexibility for when we put the schedule together in May" — he confirms that the show's actors have been given the green light to pursue other work. Translation: Fork. Stick. Done.
