The first 4 seasons took place during the summer. However, in the episode Mission: Ed-possible, Rolf is revealed to be failing Basic Computer Applications, meaning the school has computers. They do have TVs though, but the kids normally go outside to play for fun. The kids do not have any current modern day technology stuff such as computers or mobile phones. In the first episode, Edd used a computer to give Jonny a lie detector test, powered through a toaster. If a VCR is needed in a plot, it is there. Danny Antonucci has stated that he wanted the show to appeal to any generation. (13 if you count Plank) No other characters have appeared besides the main cast and adults are never seen. The number of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy is fixed at 12.
All the episode titles, are popular sayings with a word replaced with the name "Ed" (e.g., "Stop, Look, and Ed": Stop, Look, and Listen.) Some are also parodies of movie titles (e.g., "For Your Ed Only" = For Your Eyes Only, "The Day the Ed Stood Still" = The Day the Earth Stood Still, "O-Ed Eleven" = Ocean's Eleven, "Mission Ed-possible = Mission Impossible). Almost every episode contains references to pop culture, especially movies. The show frequently makes meta-references and often breaks the fourth wall. The characters rarely leave the neighborhood, and no adults are ever seen. Unofficially led by Eddy, the Eds scheme to make money off their peers to buy jawbreakers, but their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments.
Collectively known as "the Eds," the three hang around in their suburban neighborhood of Peach Creek Estates, where "the cul-de-sac" is located.
That I'm looking forward to because I think Eddy would collapse in that situation.The series revolves around three pre-adolescent boys: Ed, who is slow-witted and often speaks in non sequiturs Edd, who is usually called "Double D" and is rather intelligent, if high-strung and Eddy, the avaricious 'leader' of the trio. I hear that new shows are in development where we finally see the Eds in school. So all I really have to say what a magnificent thought out premise. In one such instance Eddy actually says to Double D: We don't wanna hurt those badly drawn fingers and Ed references earlier episodes in the time capsule episode. I also love the way the creators tampers with cartoon conventions. Still no adults if you don't count Ed's nightmare where his mother turns out to be Jonny. The Ed universe becomes more of a staple where the locations gets wider - we actually see the candy store and the nearby lake in later episodes. Gradually, he just becomes an oath although a lovable oath. Ed actually had more to do in the first two seasons because his obsession with old horror movies was more a basis for his character. In later seasons which are my favorites Eddy becomes more shrill and Double D more whining. Nazz, for example hardly seemed to exist at all. The first two seasons were moderately entertaining but the characters weren't really fleshed out yet.
10) And last but not least the Kanker sisters: Totally insane girls who behave like hicks who visit the big city and are hungry for love but haven't a clue on how to attract the opposite sex. 9) Nazz: The airhead pretty girl but also the one who tolerate the Eds and even joins Eddy in his scams a few times. 8) Rolf: A burly guy from an undisclosed foreign country who is also friendly on the outside but when he gets mad - watch out because he has superhuman strength. 7) Jonny 2*4: Friendly on the outside but when someone tries to take advantage of his pal Plank (with who he has some kind of ESP like connection) he turns into a homicidal maniac. 6) Jimmy: A girl in boy drag who also schemes to get revenge on Eddy who has scammed him time and time again. 5) Sarah: Has a nasty temper but also a childish need to be the center of attention not unlike Eddy. He hates Eddy the most but still he can't live without him because where would he go to boost his own ego. 4) Kevin: The jock who thinks everybody are more lame than himself including his best friend Rolf. 3) Eddy: Totally controlled by his greed and ego but also has inferiority complexes regarding his height and communicating with girls (Nazz). 2) Edd (Double D): The geek who would like to be a saint but can't help but be influenced by Ed and Eddy because it might give him some laughs and the ultimate prize - the jawbreaker. Here's a rough sketch of each: 1) Ed, the dimwit who is totally controlled by his impulses. If I was a parent to these kids I would send them to a nut house (that goes for all the characters. There is also something appealing about the universe which the characters inhabit with no adult supervision, at least not visible to the audience. Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy has made me laugh time and time again.
