Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The characters routinely scheme to relieve peers of their money, but their plots inevitably fail.
  • Violence & scariness:

    There is harmless cartoon violence: furniture crushes characters, punches are thrown, etc.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Insults such as "dork" are used.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Ed, Edd n Eddy

Parents need to know that that the three main characters in this boisterous cartoon series routinely pick on each other and call each other by relatively benign names like "dork" and "loser." They also seem to receive zero adult supervision.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the characters' use of deceit in pursuit of their sugary goal. Is it ever OK to lie? Why is being forthright and honest important? What are some other ways that Ed, Edd, and Eddy could acquire Jawbreakers without taking advantage of their friends?

  1. Kid Reviewer Age 10
    I rate this title off for age 6 and give it 2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative role models

    I can't watch this

    I could not watch this when I was 6 and I still can not watch this.

  2. I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 4.0

    It gets dumb at times, sure. You question why are there only around ten kids at the school, and why don't you ever see any parents, and how can the boys physically sustain so much pain e.g being run over by a truck? Well it's a cartoon. Harmless fun. Kids will love it.

  3. Teen Reviewer Age 13
    I rate this title on for age 6 and give it 5.0

  4. I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Negative message

    I'm rather fond of it =D All three titular characters are pretty loveable anti-heroes and even though the show doesn't really have any morals, it's great for light-watching. Younger kids might not get it, though =\

  5. I rate this title off for age 8 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    dumb show

    Ok I have not sat through a whole episode but my 7 year old has seen it once and says that it is the dumbest show on TV, even more stupid than spongebob(his words). So I just thought I would share his opinion on it here. With that said if my 7 year old can determine that and choose to change the channel on his own should this show come on, I have to give it a thumbs down rating. And being that the whole mission of the characters is to pick on each other and no positive lessons are shown and the only point is to show constant failure I have to say that I agree.
