Doug (1991)
Very underrated!
The first Nicktoons show to premiere in Nickelodeon in the early '90s, Doug revolves around the eponymous protagonist who experiences many events in his new home in Bluffington, where his family moved to after his father had a job promotion as a photographer. Doug usually faces many challenges, predicaments, and dilemmas that an average preteen can relate to, writing all his events in his journal. Among the characters are his faithful dog Porkchop, his sister Judy who is obsessed with Shakespeare, best friend Skeeter, his love interest Patti, his nemesis Roger, and his eccentric next-door neighbor Mr. Dink. What makes this show so great is that even though it's supposed to be realistic, it also balances out with a few quirks and crazy antics. Also, Doug's imaginations are very complex. He could have positive, negative, and even hilarious thoughts of impending situations. Recently, I never understood why this show has been given negative ratings all of a sudden. It was a show that reflects on our childhood and teaches us life lessons. It doesn't deserve any of the hate it receives nowadays. IMO, it's the best show on Nickelodeon of all time, that and Rocko's Modern Life, another personal favorite of mind. The Disney version of this show, however, is just awful.
Ed, Edd n Eddy (1999)
I'm not even gonna lie
When I first saw the promo of this show, I thought it was gonna suck due to the animation and would end after five episodes. But something in my mind told me not to judge anything you haven't seen. So I decided to give it a chance and as soon as I saw the first episode, I was amazed at how well-written the plots were and how clever the jokes were. I love all three of the main characters:
Ed, the dumbest, but strongest member of the trio who has an affinity for monster movies and gravy. He is also abused by his younger sister Sarah. He was my favorite of the trio, and the funniest.
Edd (A.K.A. Double D), The smartest of the trio. His parents communicate with him by sticky notes and even have him doing a prolific number of chores. He is also obsessed with staying clean and has a sarcastic manner. He's not funny, because he isn't supposed to be funny. He's supposed to be a character we can sympathize with. Ed is my favorite, but out of the trio, I relate to Edd much more since he's the only character of the show with any common since.
Eddy, the leader of the trio. Is very miserly and wants cash and jawbreakers so much. He is the one who conceives the scams to trick the others out of their money. Okay, so Eddy may be the most dislikable character to the others, but he's still pretty funny, and I love how desperate he gets just to get a single quarter.
Other characters include Ed's spoiled sister Sarah, her weak friend Jimmy, the eccentric Jonny, his wooden friend Plank, the West Indian immigrant Rolf, the jock Kevin, the blonde girl Nazz, and The Kanker sisters. The show relies on many subtle humor and fourth-wall breaks. This is by far the funniest show ever. Along with Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, and Johnny Bravo, this show deserves a place in the slapstick hall of fame. These are my top 5 Cartoon Network shows of all time
1. Courage the Cowardly Dog 2. Ed, Edd n Eddy 3. Johnny Bravo 4. The Powerpuff Girls 5. Dexter's Laboratory
