Ed, Edd et Eddy

Though young people might enjoy this show, it can only be fully appreciated by older adults. EEnE takes us back to the carefree days of our pre-teen years. No matter which decade in which you were 12, this timeless show will resonate with you. The Eds and their friends are on perpetual summer vacation, back in the days before the internet and cable TV. They while away the aimless days creating misadventures and pre-teen power struggles. Jawbreakers really were the ultimate delicacy to strive for. Each episode recalls some aspect of those old summer vacations we had forgotten about until now. This surreal view of pre-pubescence hits home in a timeless, powerful way.

Question: Why does everyone hate this show? Answer: I don't know. This has got to be one of the greatest shows known to man. The animation is far more unique than any other style of animation I've ever seen. And you've just got to love these characters!

Ed-An idiotic but lovable lummox who's absolutely crazy for those ridiculous B-movies, buttered toast, and stuff we rarely give a hunch for. His head is so empty you could fit Veterans Stadium in there but yet he's what makes this show so funny!

Edd-Also known as Double D, this genius knows just about everything as we all know. As a favorite of mine, I enjoy his liking for being clean, labeling everything, and being kind of course. Loved the way he played that Pedal Steel Guitar!

Eddy-The master scammer, as we know him, is always trying to scam the cul-d-sac kids.(or pigeons as he refers to them) He may not be the most popular of this fab trio but he's funny and hey, I like him!

So go watch it already! This is WAY better than the Powerpuff Girls anyhow! Thanks Danny Antonuci! You rule!

Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy has made me laugh time and time again. There is also something appealing about the universe which the characters inhabit with no adult supervision, at least not visible to the audience. If I was a parent to these kids I would send them to a nut house (that goes for all the characters.

Here's a rough sketch of each: 1) Ed, the dimwit who is totally controlled by his impulses. 2) Edd (Double D): The geek who would like to be a saint but can't help but be influenced by Ed and Eddy because it might give him some laughs and the ultimate prize - the jawbreaker. 3) Eddy: Totally controlled by his greed and ego but also has inferiority complexes regarding his height and communicating with girls (Nazz). 4) Kevin: The jock who thinks everybody are more lame than himself including his best friend Rolf. He hates Eddy the most but still he can't live without him because where would he go to boost his own ego. He also has a major crush on Nazz. 5) Sarah: Has a nasty temper but also a childish need to be the center of attention not unlike Eddy. 6) Jimmy: A girl in boy drag who also schemes to get revenge on Eddy who has scammed him time and time again. 7) Jonny 2*4: Friendly on the outside but when someone tries to take advantage of his pal Plank (with who he has some kind of ESP like connection) he turns into a homicidal maniac. 8) Rolf: A burly guy from an undisclosed foreign country who is also friendly on the outside but when he gets mad - watch out because he has superhuman strength. 9) Nazz: The airhead pretty girl but also the one who tolerate the Eds and even joins Eddy in his scams a few times. 10) And last but not least the Kanker sisters: Totally insane girls who behave like hicks who visit the big city and are hungry for love but haven't a clue on how to attract the opposite sex.

The first two seasons were moderately entertaining but the characters weren't really fleshed out yet. Nazz, for example hardly seemed to exist at all. Later, they started to develop. In later seasons which are my favorites Eddy becomes more shrill and Double D more whining. Ed actually had more to do in the first two seasons because his obsession with old horror movies was more a basis for his character. Gradually, he just becomes an oath although a lovable oath. The Ed universe becomes more of a staple where the locations gets wider - we actually see the candy store and the nearby lake in later episodes. Still no adults if you don't count Ed's nightmare where his mother turns out to be Jonny.

I also love the way the creators tampers with cartoon conventions. In one such instance Eddy actually says to Double D: We don't wanna hurt those badly drawn fingers and Ed references earlier episodes in the time capsule episode. So all I really have to say what a magnificent thought out premise. I hear that new shows are in development where we finally see the Eds in school. That I'm looking forward to because I think Eddy would collapse in that situation.

My favorite part of Ed, Edd, and Eddy is that no matter how old you are or where you grew up, the characters of this hilarious show remind us all of those we grew up with. Look at it this way:

ED- the dim-witted, but good-natured kid who was always lacking in the brains department

EDD- that brainy kid who always got straight A's and was a complete nerd

EDDY- a greedy short kid who takes everything way too personal and knows that he's destined to be rich and famous someday

KEVIN- the basic "jock" stereotype who picked on the non-athletic kids

JIMMY- a weakling who felt terrified to play with older kids and everyone thought was a bit on the "feminine side"

SARAH- the super-evil bully who scared off practically everyone she met

ROLF- the foreign kid who puzzled everyone with their strange and bizarre customs

NAZZ- that pretty girl who always got boys' attentions and all the other girls wanted to be like

JOHNNY- the unusually strange kid who no one could ever really understand

THE KANKER SISTERS- those girls who thought the best way to get someone's attention was to be as ruthless as possible

No matter where you grew up, we can all identify with kids like this. Perhaps not as extreme as these characters, but it's hilarious to think of the kids we went to school with and now see them on TV.

Literally most of my childhood right here. Recently watched this from start to finish again and I remember why I used to love it so much. Its funny and goofy all at the same time! It's kinda sad how quick the years go by but I can feel like a kid again when watching this silly but impeccable show. I love it to bits and always will! Double D will always be my love lol.
