Talk:3 Squares and an Ed/@comment-35689614-20190130183703

This episode isn't really boring, and it's not unwatchably bad, but there's still not a whole lot of good feelings surrounding it. In this episodes, Eddy and Double D try to bust Ed out of his house after he's grounded. Sure, this episode gave us a bunch of memes to play with ("That's disturbing," anyone?), but when you look at the episode as a whole, there's still a lot of unfortunate implications floating around. First of all, Ed being grounded and Sarah is in charge of making sure he stays put seems to reinforce the idea that Ed's parents favor her over him, and that she hardly gets any discipline for her wrongdoings. We don't even find out why Ed was grounded; heck, for all we know, he may have finally stood up to Sarah and his parents flipped out over their big, brutish son going after their "precious little girl." Plus, not only do Ed's parents take his TV away, they take his stairs away. Do they really not trust Ed that much? They were pretty much putting him in solitary confinement; how was he supposed to go upstairs? Then, to add insult to injury, Eddy and Double D's trying to help Ed gets them in trouble, too. Then, to add even more insult to injury, Sarah and Jimmy still bug the Eds, even when all they're trying to do is talk to each other over soup can walkie-talkies! Newsflash, writers: showing the Eds in misery is only funny if they've done something to deserve it. And even then does it barely work. Which leads us to one of the most infamous cases of unnecessary Eds abuse
