User blog comment:Tyler Sims/The case for Ed, Edd, and Eddy/@comment-2047157-20110818233903

In my opinion all of the major Cartoon Cartoons supported each other indirectly. They all followed their own simple concepts. Whether it was the Eds scamming for jawbreakers, Dexter wanting to work in peace while perventing his sister from breaking stuff. Johnny Bravo unwittingly going on adventures while trying to impress women etc. They all had their own unique merits, but ultamately the varieity of adventure and humor helped the Cartoons Cartoons last the fourteen years they ran.

However, when most Cartoon Cartoons were cancelled in 2004. Ed, Edd n Eddy did not survive, but merely endured. As I quote Gears of War: "To survive, you must both endure and prosper." Once again in my opoinion, the Ed-boys only endured. Without the rest of the pre-2000 Cartoon Cartoons, the post-2004 episodes were marginally less entertaining. (I only say marginally because of possible bias)

In the end I'm grateful the Eds lasted as long as they did. I just wish the rest of the Cartoon Cartoons could have joined them.
