Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy: Season 2
G**N
Toon Mania
From the day Danny Antonucci faxed the rough sketch of the Eds to Linda Simensky at Cartoon Network, this early '80s toon was destined to be a classic. Watch the interview with DA on this set and you'll see why. Briefly, this toon introduced the "boiling line" --the outlines are constantly moving. This was initially disconcerting to some viewers, but compare how tastefully nuanced is the movement in this cartoon with the overdone computerized camera used in many live action shows. I could watch this show all day because the character design and backgrounds are so incredible, comparable to early Hanna- Barbera or Peanuts in their restrained "less is more" aesthetic. Contrast that with the CGI music video on this set of "I'm Not Coming In Today," where Sarah has lost all her "Sarah-ness," and the Eds move stiffly. Yawn.Need more? This is one of the few shows since the Simpsons to feature humans. Like Peanuts or Looney Tunes, it mixes fantasy elements with realistic ones. The shows are also longer-- two to a half hour-- than the HB three to a half hour format they otherwise reflect. DA, known for indie toons Lupo the Butcher and The Brothers Grunt, is the last guy you'd expect to bring the mix of subtlety and innocence that is the secret of every great cartoon, but the first guy who did. In the current animation glut, this secret has been forgotten in the rush to make everything "extreme", which is to say, as overdone and unsubtle as most current live shows. The answer of Suits (or maybe flannel shirts) is to make everything even more extreme in hopes of seducing viewers, a short- sighted strategy if there ever was one. No wonder TV is in trouble. Now, with this great deal on Season two (and Season one also available), this watermark of early '80s toons shows how great a cartoon can be. Watch the Eds, Grasshopper, and learn from the Master.

That's Good TV Right There!
Epic yes! The Second Season is one of my favorites; I believe the show got better as time went on, although S5 was a little "off" at times. Anyway, some of my favorite episodes are here such as "Mirror Mirror on the Ed" and "To Sir With Ed". This show cracks me up and will always have a special place in my heart, and my DVD shelf! Amazon delivered it promptly and it was in great condition. I pop in a disc whenever I'm feeling low and it always manages to remind me of simpler times, and of course I'm in love with all 3 Eds and the unique writing and drawing style with a big heaping spoonful of personality.The special features are pretty good too. I really enjoyed the interview with Danny; very in-depth and interesting! Not a fan of The Incredible Shrinking Day (which I'd already seen on YouTube anyways) or the HTD and origami stuff. Still, enjoyable and SOOOOOOOOOOO worth the buy! What a bargain! *insert Eddy-related scam joke here*

Great season to buy
Seems like all the funnier episodes I remember were during this season, I'd start here if you don't want to pay $50 for the complete series

the triple EDs
Have loved this show ever since it first came on Cartoon Network and loved the 2nd season on dvd. It was great reliving those episodes and being able to watch them whenever i want. I'm hoping to purchase more of Ed, Edd and Eddy on DVD in the future. Great series and excellent buy on DVD less than 11 dollars...thats a great deal. I'm happy it made its way to DVD and it is a pretty good transition as well, you wont miss a beat from the TV to DVD its all there for everyone to love like so many fans already do. Excellent series & purchase

Took me right back to my younger days.
If you're a real fan of Ed, Edd & Eddy, you'll enjoy whistling along with the intro music every 24 minutes or so.

Gotta love the Eds
I watched the series when it first came out and always loved their shanagans. I looked around and saw what kind of seasons I should get and I decided to go with the Ed Edd n' Eddy series. I'm glad I picked my choice because on the second season they have many good episodes I cherished when I was younger. They give 13 entire episodes and bonus features! The reason why I give this DVD four stars is because the quality of the show looks like it's been rendered to a low quality, so they could fit a bunch of episodes onto just two discs. I really don't like and it bugs me when I see this kind of quality on an awesome series. They could of rendered it in a higher quality and put them on 3 or 4 discs, I really don't mind unless the quality is better. I recommend any one to buy these seasons because it was one of the best shows that came on Cartoon Network and they are selling it pretty cheap!
