What parents need to know

Parents need to know that that the three main characters in this boisterous cartoon series routinely pick on each other and call each other by relatively benign names like "dork" and "loser." They also seem to receive zero adult supervision.

  • The characters routinely scheme to relieve peers of their money, but their plots inevitably fail.
  • There is harmless cartoon violence: furniture crushes characters, punches are thrown, etc.
  • Not applicable.

What's the story?

Cartoon Network's ED, EDD N EDDY has a pretty simple premise: It details the multiple plots that three adolescent boys devise to scam their friends for money so they can buy Jawbreakers, their favorite candy. The boys live on a cul-de-sac in suburban Peach Creek Estates. Ed (voiced by Matt Hill), the dim one of the group, is often used as the prop in their schemes, while Edd (Sam Vincent), or "Double D," helps carry out the plans that Eddy (Tony Sampson), the group leader, hatches. In each episode, their plans are foiled, and they end up in a sticky predicament. The boys' hangers-on include Sarah (Janyse Jaud), Ed's annoying little sister; Kevin (Kathleen Barr), the neighborhood bully; Nazz (Erin Fitzgerald), the girl the boys have a crush on; and the Kanker sisters, a trio who consider the Eds their boyfriends.


Is it any good?

 

Younger viewers will get a kick out of the silly antics of Ed, Edd n Eddy. The series includes violence of the cartoon kind (furniture falls on top of Ed, punches are thrown) and some mild name-calling, but otherwise, it's a harmless half-hour of fun.

What families can talk about

Families can talk about the characters' use of deceit in pursuit of their sugary goal. Is it ever OK to lie? Why is being forthright and honest important? What are some other ways that Ed, Edd, and Eddy could acquire Jawbreakers without taking advantage of their friends?

Great to entertain kids
Even though the show has a little violence, this show is very good in my opinion and entertaining for kids. This show is, and will always be, my most favorite show of all time.

Why Did So Many People Give This a Bad Review?
I love Ed, Edd, and Eddy! It's a great show! My favorite episode is when the Eds make a video for Eddy's older brother to show how much older Eddy was, but all that could go wrong does. A classic Cartoon Network show that everybody should watch at least once in their lifetime.

Great show!
First of all, to that anonymous reviewer, EEnE does NOT have any language. Yes, there's violence, but it's cartoon, and characters heal quickly. Anyway, you're messed up, CSM. This show should be 5-star media! There's mild flirtation, and that's it...for almost all of the episodes. The episode "Pop Goes the ED" has Eddy saying "Ed has a third nipple like that guy on James Bond". That's not true, but it may worry some parents. But the content is good for any kid. If they're a true fan and calm and cool, go to edtropolis*. Any kind of fan should go to the best website ever, the3eds*. It has episode downloads (to keep it legal, episodes are low quality, the movie won't be uploaded (yes, there IS a movie. CN got it a few months ago), and Seasons 1 & 2 aren't avaliable to promote the DVDs), forums wiht a lot of great members, comics from CN Block Party, and more! CSM should do a review on those 2 sites.

BEST SHOW IN CARTOON HISTORY.
This show is the best show ever. I'v been watching Ed, Edd n Eddy since i was about 5, I never missed an episode when it came on. I still watch it to this day. EE&E make me think it takes place in the late 50's and 60's just because of the style of the cartoon and how they communicate. But anyway this show doesn't show that much cussing and violence that parents should be concerned about, this isn't made to be educational or some role model show, this was made to be entertaining for the viewer. But this show has to be the best show I have ever watched.

Pretty neat show
Not a bad show, any swears thought to be mentioned are but an illusion. I'm just worried whether or not anyone under the age of 12 will come in contact with the fanbase

Good For Most Ages
This show is one of my favorite shows because of the great ideas and weird characters. It's good for ages 8+, but they won't like it as much.

When it comes to cartoons, this is a family favorite.
Ed, Edd n' Eddy is basically a Cartoon Network family-classic.I found this show pretty funny to be exact and obviously, this show is the best cartoon ever on Cartoon Network.And probably the best cartoon on TV period.The point is, Ed, Edd n' Eddy is actually an all-time must see.Over here, Ed is basically the idiot.He is what mostly causes the humor, on what he says.He also is pretty much forgetful and clumsy a bit but he's basically a role model and its a cartoon.Edd is the exact opposite of Ed.''Double D'' is pretty much what he is preferred and named by his other characters.He obviously does the right thing and obeys his orders depending on it is right or not.Eddy over here is the main threat.He basically sends all the disapproved messages and dreams of becoming rich.This one of all the Eds, is the most disrespectful.So if you're looking for a good and funny family show, turn this show on.
