Cartoon Network is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System
With the success of the Power Puff Girls comes one of Cartoon Network's successors Ed,Edd,and Eddy. And...is it wrong for me to say that it's overrated. (Guns pointing at me). Let me explain. It's not like I hate the show far from it. But calling it one of the best shows Cartoon Network has to offer. Well Let's talk about the plot.
Three boys named Ed, Edd, and Eddy live in a cul-da-sac. Where they spend their summer scamming the other kids out of their money. To get giant jawbreakers. The boy's scams however fail comediacly possible.
Okay with a set up like that there's bond to be problems and yeah there are some. For one (besides two) the characters are just generic characters. Eddy's the typical greedy jerk, Keven's the typical bully, Nazz is the typical girl, Johnny's the typical weirdo, I hate Double D's voice, Jimmy's the typical wuss, and ugh Sarah. You know those bratty little kids that get away with everything because they're bratty little kids. Well they made a character out of it. I'm sorry are bratty little girls popular? Is there a demographic that likes this kind of character? I gotta say if there is I'm kind of shocked.
Also the voice acting can get really ear grinding. Especially with Samuel Vincent as Double D. Look I know he's a nice guy, he can even be a good actor. But I'm sorry I just really hate his voice. It's like he doesn't even try to make it sound like a different person and when he does try he makes me want to blow my ears off.
Is there anything good about the show? Well two characters I actually like from the show are Ed and Rolf. Just the way they talk, act and do is kind of funny to watch. I also like the animation. Kind of a smooth cell-shaded form of animation can be pretty cool at times. But by far the best part of the show is the comedy. The slapstick, the one liners, the puns, the jokes they are just perfect.
Unlike Invader Zim which I have no idea why people like it so much. I can see why people like Ed,Edd,and Eddy. But calling it one of Cartoon Networks best show is kind of pushing it. But if you like the show then watch til your hearts content.
