Nom de code: Kids Next Door

What on Gods Green Earth are they all talking about saying that "Friends" is a gut buster compapared to Kids Next Door. Kids Next Door is a kiddie show. The Simpsons is an adult show. Do not compare the two. Friends is a tacky white show that is completely stupid and Fraisier is corny its self. If you want to make fun of a cartoon because you think its not funny lets get this straight, A Kids Next Door is aimed at kids their age. B if you have an imagination. The show is based on Imagination not about reality. Great Googaly Moogaly. Tell me were some of these people the type of kids that thought they were adults and did not act like they were kids. If you can realize this that kids next door is a fun adventure cartoons about childer who wants to save the world. IT IS PURE IMAGINATION AND ORIGINAL. IT IS NOT MADE FOR ANYTHING ELES BUT PURE FUN.

The KND series is without a doubt excellent! The stories and sub plot twists are all integrated into a nice package every time. The artwork is clean & sweet also. Unlike other cartoons that are thrown together and just a lot of messy abstract junky scratches with no real storyline either. But Kids Next Door deliver every time! The 2x4 technology totally rocks! And the Rainbow Monkeys rule!

The animation & cinematography flows perfect in KND and the sf/music meshes perfectly to the action at hand. And there is an endless supply of writing creativity! My favorite cartoon since Sailor Moon.

Young or old, if you enjoy cartoons and animation, then you'll enjoy Kids Next Door. The show's concept is relatively simple: a secret agency composed of ten year-olds fights evil adults; the result is a imaginative world that is both inspired by several genres and movies and creates a distinct universe. The comedy is wide-ranging in the ages it appeals to, the action is entertaining despite the show not being the pinnacle of animation, and the plots are original while paying homage to it's sources: many of the episodes are homages with a KND spin that works extremely well. The characters that make up this rich universes might seem like stereotypes at first, but they grow into completely three-dimensional beings that can be both fun and poignant.

Hands down, KND is one of the best original shows on Cartoon Network, keeping with the explosion of comic creativity in the channel that is leagues ahead of most other kid-oriented channels (Nick and Disney come to mind).

At first I thought that this was going to be stupid but then I read the comments on the imdb and since everybody thought this cartoon was great I watched it and everyone was right-it was awesome!!! All the characters were unique had their own background. The villians are really funny too! The Cartoon Network usually has good shows, at least better shows than most of the cartoons on The Disney Channel. Also, has anyone but me noticed that Numbah Three and Numbah Four like each other?

I don't think it is the best Cartoon Network cartoon though, Dexter's Laboratory was definitely the most consistent, smartest and most engaging of all their shows put together. While some episodes are very repetitive and there are later episodes that meander quite considerably, Codename:Kids Next Door is one of the funnier and original recent Cartoon Network cartoon shows with a great concept. The story lines are creative, the writing is intelligent and funny, the animation is done in a unique visual style, the theme tune is memorable and the characters are likable with unique personalities, Numbah 1 being the smartest and Numbah 3 being the cutest. The voice acting isn't necessarily award worthy but it is solid and delivers the dialogue perfectly. Overall, funny and original, even if like Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy it lost its way in the later episodes. 8/10 Bethany Cox
