If you were growing up with Cartoon Network in late 90s and 2000s, there is a very high chance that you have heard of a show called Ed, Edd & Eddy. While this show never reached popularity of Powerpuff Girls, it still is among most popular CN shows in 2000s.
Today is Ed-Boys 25th birthday since it has been exactly 25 years since they premiered on CN for first time. It was created by Danny Antonucci.
What is this show about? It follows adventures of three kids: dim-witted Ed, smart Edd and scheming Eddy. They generally tried to scheme the neighborhood kids to get their money so they could buy jawbreakers. But not every episode was about that. In some episodes they were playing hide and seek with other kids or having adventures in a junkyard.
One unique thing about this show was how there were only 12 characters in the entire show (13 counting Plank). Seriously besides the aftermentioned title characters, this show also had a strange but funny foreigner named Rolf (Life has many doors, Ex-boys!), wimpy kid named Jimmy, weird bald kid Johnny who's best friend is a piece of wood (Plank), Ed's younger bratty sister Sarah, Kevin who hates the Eds (Especially Eddy) and keeps calling them dorks, Nazz who is more down to earth and nice compared to rest of the cast and the Kanker Sisters(Lee, Marie and May) who stalk Eds. These are the only characters that appear through the show in it's 69 episode run, and while we do see some other characters in the show (like Eddy's parents), we don't fully see them and we never hear their voices. The only "new" character that was introduced was Eddy's brother in last 10 minutes of the movie which served as a finale of the series and was build up through the show. I can't really think of any show that had more than 13 characters in the whole run.
This cartoon is a comedy and it took full advantage of it. This show has great animations and timing is good which makes slapstick in this show funny. And I want to give it credit for having such a variety of sound effects used in it. It also had some witty dialogue in the show and some hilarious lines in the show like this:
This show ran from 1999-2009 and it was a success for CN and spammed various merchandise like toys, DVDs, video games etc. It was one of the most memorable shows on CN.
What are your thoughts and memories on this show about 3 Ed-boys?
