Ed edd n eddy

Part of the charm I guess was that the show felt timeless, like it could easily take place in the 50s or the 2000s and it wouldn't feel stale because it had a near-universal depiction of childhood that most everyone in developed countries could relate to which was combined with the tried and true forms of physical comedy and absurdism found in classic animation.

Ed Edd n Eddy reminds me of Peanuts. Notice how there are NO ADULTS featured, they're only mentioned. Yet the kids all have responsibilities, consequences and interactions with each other. They all exist in the cul-de-sac or Peach Creek. I suppose it's resembling the innocence of childhood. Letting kids be kids.

ANOTHER UNPOPULAR OPINION

The fan art for the Eds and the Kanker sisters in a relationship was some of the best things to witness after the series ended:

It kind of makes one wonder what if the Eds for once stopped trying to woo Nazz and when they get older, maybe settle down with the Kankers.

Maybe the Eds and the Trailer Park Boys do have a spiritual connection.

Ed = Bubbles
Edd = Julian
Eddy = Ricky

It would be funny if Danny Antonucci would come out and just admit that he watched the earlier seasons of the show and made it clear that that’s who he based it on. It would change childhoods forever if that were true.

I remember people mentioning a possible revival, and I am honestly really glad that Dan Antonucci owns the rights to the show, that way we'll never see a subpar, souless reboot be made that craps on the original.

It's for the best really, Ed, Edd, and Eddy lasted the perfect length for what it was and a show like that would never fly in 2020. I could literally see modern CN making Edd black and droping hints that Johnny is trans, also, any illusions about Jimmy being gay or just being an effeminate guy would be completely thrown out the window along with a bunch of other stuff corporate felt the need to stick their dick into.

No, like many people have said, it's a timeless classic and doesn't need a revival.

I thought it was pretty funny back in the day, mostly because all the kids reminded me of kids I knew. Hell, even my grandma at the time said me and my two brothers reminded her a lot of the Eds. It was a nice slice of life kind of show that wasn’t dull like Doug.

I don’t watch kid cartoons as an adult, but yeah, this was one of my favorites back when it aired

It's a show that I didn't really learn to appreciate until after I got older.

Always kinda liked how Edd was called Double D by everyone to avoid confusion.

Ed Edd N Eddy was THE show that made my dad believe "cartoons are brain-damage." Was my one of my favorite shows though.

Not sure if my age at the time plays into my memory of the whole show+finale being great (minus some episodes). I remember being sad but resolute that the show was ending. And the finale was enough for me.

However, one episode I remember hating was the one where they built a cardboard city. That episode disturbed child me.

It was definitely one of my favorite cartoons growing up. I don't really go out of my way to watch it these days but if I'm in a restaurant and by some weird stroke of luck it's playing on the TV, I get some mad nostalgia for my childhood. Not nostalgia for watching the show, but actually being a kid, running around the neighborhood and getting into shit with close friends who I've either fallen out of contact with or aren't on this earth anymore. Honestly, if I ever have kids I'll probably by hard copies of all the seasons, just for them.

It was the tattoos, wasn't it? Jimmy's face tattoo of a snake and Kevin getting a fucking corn cob tattooed on his back just made my skin crawl.

I believe that Edd was going to be called "DeeDee" but Cartoon Network didn't want to confuse people with DeeDee from Dexter's Lab so that's why they called him Double D.

Loved this show as a kid, and actually as I got older it remains the only one I still liked as a teenager while just about everything else aged poorly. Even Courage the Cowardly Dog is more interesting to me as an experimental thing than actually trying to follow any of the episodes. I last watched the show itself in college when my internet failed and I still had the episodes saved on a drive somewhere. I can barely watch any kids show from my youth in the present day but I viewed the movie a couple of years ago with a friend who never saw it and I liked it fine as an adult.

Something I distinctly remember about the show is that it wasn't just nonstop ADD nonsense like a lot of later shit became, stuff could get wild and crazy as the runtime would wind down, but usually the buildup was fairly slow. This show legit treated the kids watching it like they had an attention span, which must've been radical back than and these days appears to be unheard of.

This was the longest airing show on Cartoon Network and I think it still holds that title. Goes to show it had real popular appeal and quality to it that set it apart from other stuff, no bullshit inflated internet campaigns here.

EEnE was my jam back when I was a kid and it still holds up even now. This and Dexter's Lab were the shows that gave me an interest in animation. Loved the episode where they try to chase a balloon that Kevin released for shits and giggles.

That was when the other person who worked on Stephen Universe - Raven M came to work on the show. Idk if she played a huge role in the plots of the school ones but I remember them becoming way more emotional and that didn't gel with the show if you ask me.

Raven was better suited to SU for sure. A quick glance at the EENE wiki tells me season six had just the one episode, which is news to me.
