Double-D was too restrained, Eddy was too nice, Ed was too smart, there were too many episodes that ended with the Kankers winning, Rolf spoke with a regular Swedish accent as opposed to whatever the heck accent he had later, etc. It was pretty clear that they didn't quite know how these characters would act or react, and the timing and pacing was off for most of the humor and story progression. They'll find a way to mess up the most foolproof of plans.Īs I mentioned in the last list, Season 1 wasn't the greatest start for the show. Thinking joining the rangers will make him a "chick magnet", he and the other Eds attempt to complete each of the bizarre requirements to earn at least one badge.But, these are the Eds we're talking about. Rolf introduces himself as the leader of the Peach Creek troop of Urban Rangers(think the Boy Scouts, only even whiter), and Eddy becomes enamored with their uniforms and badges. If you disagree, that's fine.Just don't call me an idiot for my opinion, or I'll have to send the Kankers out for you! Again, these are MY favorite episodes of the series, and I had a REALLY hard time deciding just 10 and putting one over another, but I'll justify as well as I can WHY I think they're not only my favorites, but why they stand out from the rest of the show in general. These are where creativity shone the brightest in the face of tight budgets and deadlines, and THEY ARE GLORIOUS!īesides that, all episodes, including from Season 1, are fair game. The episodes I'm listing here serve as shining examples of the show because they HAD to stand out from all the other episodes to keep the show afloat. If you don't like the special, the show itself doesn't suffer that much. They're not bound by the same budget or ratings success the rest of the show is they're made mostly to experiment with the concept with a higher budget and, in some cases, a longer runtime. Specials are made outside of show continuity and ratings, and are usually meant to celebrate a certain holiday or occasion, and/or serve as a "prime time" advertisement for the show in general. However, the reason why I'm not including them is because they don't NEED to be good or bad. Not good, not bad, still perfectly watchable, but none of them are my favorites. The only rule I'm applying to this list is that I'm not counting the specials or the movie.
