Read All About Ed

"Read All About Ed" is the 8th episode of Season 1 of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds paper route is easy for them at first, but it later becomes too much for them to handle.

Plot
It's 5:35 in the morning and Double D's got himself a paper round to do so he can save up to buy an electron microscope of his own. Eddy is instantly surprised of earning money, imagining how much money could be earned from doing 50 rounds! The next morning, tons of newspapers are dumped upon Double D's doorstep, however mornings are still not Eddy's thing and he somehow manages to be lazy sunbathing and dreaming of all the Jawbreakers and not helping Ed and Double D. They will soon be able to buy while his pals run around delivering the news. Things could do with speeding up, so Double D devises a machine to shoot the papers (or Ed) onto doorsteps at high velocity with strong force… however, it's only a matter of time before disaster - and unlucky summer rains - STRIKE!

Trivia/Goofs

 * At the end of the episode, a truck backs up to the Eds and dumps a mountain of newspaper on them. However, this truck is not seen. All we see of it is its shadow.
 * When we see Rolf mowing Eddy's lawn, his teeth are white and clean, but in most other episodes they are green.
 * When Ed is running past the houses and laughing, you can tell that every two or three houses are identical, which was also seen again Ed, Edd n Eddy - Scam of the Century, only in Double D's final stage.
 * Ed's voice becomes less raspy and much deeper in this episode, which he keeps that version of his new voice up for the rest of the series.
 * In the scene where Ed's feet break through his mattress, his eyebrow disappears (probably due to an animation goof)
 * In the beginning when Rolf is mowing Eddy's lawn, there is no fence around his yard. Instead, a sidewalk connects from Eddy's sliding door to the road pavement instead of the fences in front and The Lane behind the fences.
 * The newspaper shooter reappeared at "3 Squares and an Ed" at Edd's closet, but it was in its damaged condition.
 * When Ed says "Okay" after Edd asks him to retrieve Eddy, his mouth doesn't move.

 * We learn that Edd wakes up at about 5:35 A.M. to begin his paper route.
 * Edd's hat can also be used as a shield, as seen when Edd and Eddy try to protect themselves from being hit by the barrage of newspapers flying out of control, which then this technique is used again in the Lunchroom Rumble game.

 * Nazz, Jonny and the Kanker Sisters do not appear in this episode.
 * When Ed was sleeping at the beginning of the episode, his unibrow was missing.
 * When Edd comes and before he said "Oh, let me solve our problems.", if you look closely, Ed's pants are back on from the last scene where he doesn't have his pants on.
 * This is the first time that the Eds actually try to get money in a way without any scams (by actually doing a job).
 * Near the beginning, when Edd is starting his paper route, he is whistling part of the Ed, Edd n Eddy theme song, as it says on the closed captioning.
