User blog:Tyler Sims/The case for Ed, Edd, and Eddy

Ed, Edd, n Eddy lasted for 10 years on cartoon network, longer than every other original series in the network's history, outrunning even the other brilliant cartoon cartoons and giving us a full decade of entertainment. But what is it about this show that makes it so brilliant? What do you guys think this show did that made it so popular, and what contributions to cartoons and animation did this show make?

For me, I find that the show's secret was in it's execution. The show features no adult characters, the laws of physics and time are constantly altered and broken, and the show was mostly set in an endless summer. Yet the very limited premise of the series was one that allowed the characters to develop as time wore on, their simplistic goals to spawn many entertaining adventures, and the show to create a distinct style and personality all it's own.
