Look Before You Ed

"Look Before You Ed" is the final episode of Season 6 as well as the show before Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. In this episode, Edd and Jimmy create a safety club to help people avoid injuries during the winter season.

Plot
It's a well-known fact that wintertime can be hazardous, everywhere you go there's danger lurking - ice to be slipped on, snowballs to be whacked with, not to mention the problems with snowboards and toboggans. Luckily for the Kids - and despite Eddy's grumbles - Double D has decided that enough is enough. So is born the Safety Club and on paper it doesn't look like such a bad idea, after all, nobody - and especially the accident-prone like Jimmy - enjoys getting hurt while they're playing so you'd think Edd's club would be to everyone's advantage.

Unfortunately though, this doesn't seem to be the case as never one to let his obsessions take a back seat, Double D along with sidekick Jimmy, is soon taking the role of safety officer and the whole business of looking out for everyone else a little too seriously. Naturally it's not long before safety gets in the way of having fun, Sarah and Nazz are not allowed to ice skate, a frozen Jonny is yet again rescued (we think) from Plank's somewhat sinister influence and Kevin gets a lecture about the hazards of not wearing a safety helmet. It started off nicely but as the fun goes bye-bye tempers everywhere are beginning to fray and just to add to the fun, Eddy and Ed are being their usual disruptive selves, turning Edd's hard work and good intentions into snow-cone scams and pitfalls. Poor Double D, he only wanted to help but now he's simply getting on everyone's nerves - including Jimmy. This can only mean rejection, rebellion and humiliation. Oh, and the launch of the "Owie Go Kapowee Club" of course with the Eds themselves on ice. Brrrrr!

Trivia/Goofs

 * See anyone you know from Double D's Safety Club snowflake spotting chart? Well alongside the Umbrella, the Solid Beggar and the Split Leaf there's the Hexagonal Jim, Simple Diggs & the Hollow Zoe, who are of course senior storyboard artists Jim Miller, Scott Underwood and production assistant Zoe Borroz!
 * For anyone who might be wondering what a Hibachi is, it's one of those cheap little portable barbecue grills, hence "Hibachi Man" Ed's amazing living breathing melt-all abilities!
 * When Rolf walks out of the school in the end he says: "Yes, Rolf finally feels safe enough to appear in this episode." This is a direct and obvious 4th-wall break.
 * This episode is dedicated to Paul Boyd (1967 - 2007), who was shot dead on August 13, 2007.
 * The tribute to Paul Boyd features clip art of Ed and Eddy in "Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed" and Double-D from "A Case of Ed."
 * This episode, along with "May I Have this Ed?," are known as the lost episodes in the U.S.
 * Jimmy once again shows how weak he is by struggling to make an angel in the snow.
 * The Kankers do not appear in this episode.
 * The Safety Club, led by Double D, was not successful in the past claimed by Eddy saying, "Nobody wants to hear that idea last year or the year before!".
 * There are quite a few captioning errors in this episode:
 * 1) Rolf: "Kaplowie!", it was Jonny that said it at the beginning of the episode and Rolf was not seen at the beginning of the episode.
 * 2) Edd: "WHAT?!", it was Sarah that said it during the "slipdrop" scene, not Double D, since it's obvious that the person that said it had a girl voice, not a guy voice.
