Q: SQL - Take data from multiple rows into single row I have a table that looks similar to this here:
SetId       AppCode       AppEventId       EventId       FieldId       ValueData
2012/2013     1000         361616             16            1            UNI
2012/2013     1000         361616             16            2            Isolation
2012/2013     1000         361616             16            3            DN
2012/2013     1050         378194             16            1            BUL
2012/2013     1050         378194             16            2            Isolation
2012/2013     1050         378194             16            3            RD

I would like to able to combine all that data when they have the same AppCode.
Which would look like this:
SetId       AppCode       AppEventId       EventId       ValueData1      ValueData2      ValueData3
2012/2013     1000         361616             16            UNI            Isolation        DN
2012/2013     1050         378194             16            BUL            Isolation        RD

A: This can be done by applying the PIVOT function which was made available starting in SQL Server 2005.
If you have a known or set number of values that you want to transform into columns, then ou can hard-code the query:
select setid, appcode, appeventid,
  eventid,
  ValueData1, ValueData2, ValueData3
from
(
  select setid, appcode, appeventid,
    eventid,
    'ValueData'+cast(FieldId as varchar(10)) FieldId,
    ValueData
  from yt
) d
pivot
(
  max(ValueData)
  for FieldId in (ValueData1, ValueData2, ValueData3)
) piv;

See SQL Fiddle with Demo.
But if you have an unknown number of values, then you will need to use dynamic SQL:
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

select @cols = STUFF((SELECT distinct ',' + QUOTENAME('ValueData'+cast(FieldId as varchar(10)))
                    from yt
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
        ,1,1,'')

set @query = 'SELECT setid, appcode, appeventid,
                  eventid,' + @cols + '
            from
            (
                select setid, appcode, appeventid,
                  eventid,
                  ''ValueData''+cast(FieldId as varchar(10)) FieldId,
                  ValueData
                from yt
            ) x
            pivot
            (
                max(ValueData)
                for FieldId in (' + @cols + ')
            ) p '

execute(@query);

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Both queries give the same result:
|     SETID | APPCODE | APPEVENTID | EVENTID | VALUEDATA1 | VALUEDATA2 | VALUEDATA3 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2012/2013 |    1000 |     361616 |      16 |        UNI |  Isolation |         DN |
| 2012/2013 |    1050 |     378194 |      16 |        BUL |  Isolation |         RD |

Green roofs are eco-friendly infrastructures that are being rolled out in the city of Quito, Ecuador. However, there is a real need to experiment with native plants that can withstand the city's extreme conditions while also conserving plant diversity. Selecting native plants suitable for green roofs is the key to making these infrastructures a success and ensuring that they are welcomed by citizens, authorities and industry alike. The use of native plants will make the city greener and restore the bird and insect biodiversity that has been displaced by urbanization. The project is focused on propagating and experimenting with different native plant species on green roofs to see how they fare. The process will be based on a previous study, which used climate resilience models to identify the suitability of native species.
I am a biologist with a Master's degree in environmental studies from the University of Melbourne (Australia), where I studied thanks to a grant from the Ecuadorian Government. I conducted extensive research during my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. I am deeply passionate about urban ecology and developing green infrastructure. The idea of making cities greener inspires me, since it is a practical solution that creates habitable and sustainable spaces on our planet. During my Master's degree, I carried out a research project to identify native species suitable for green roofs, and this methodology can be replicated in any city. I am currently researching how to integrate conservation and the development of green infrastructure into cities.

Oyster Yachts: Bring alive the dream of a world circumnavigation
The stunning islands of French Polynesia will be the location for Oyster Yachts next World Rally webinar available online on Thursday 25 February at 19.00 UTC/GMT.
These webinars are part of an extensive programme of support, training and expertise provided by Oyster Yachts for participants in the Oyster World Rally, which starts on Sunday 09 January 2022 from Antigua. This rally is already fully subscribed with 30 Oyster Yachts registered to take part, and many hopeful entrants on the waiting list.
"Our destination guides are extremely popular with those taking part in the rally, and this year we will be providing these through a series of online webinars, which will also be available to anybody dreaming of doing a circumnavigation, or who just wants to escape for a short time to the crystal clear turquoise seas of the South Pacific and learn more about these beautiful destinations," says Allie Smith, Head of Group Events at Oyster Yachts.
This live webinar about the French Polynesian Islands will focus on the passage sail from Galapagos to the Marquesas Islands, the highlights along the route, a presentation from Oyster's Tahiti representative, and a live Q&A session afterwards.
Previous destination guides on the Galapagos Islands and transiting the Panama Canal are available on the Oyster Yachts website in the dedicated Oyster World Rally section here: https://oysteryachts.com/oyster-world-rally
The Oyster World Rally provides a fully supported experience for any Oyster owner who has always dreamed of taking part in a world circumnavigation. The Oyster World Rally team provides world class support, which includes boat preparation and service, logistics, customs procedures, provisioning, technical training and even providing professional crew through Oyster Yachts Crew finder service.
"We help and support our Oyster family through every step of their circumnavigation'" says Allie Smith, "From finding crew, to helping set up systems to run their businesses on-board, to destination guides, technical training, understanding weather and navigation, right through to being a welcoming face on arrival and organising some awesome parties. It's a 27,000-mile support service enabling our owners to have the experience of a lifetime without all the worry. By having a limited number of yachts – this year it's just 30 – we create a real family feel and people will make friends for life during the 16-month circumnavigation." Oyster Yachts: Bring alive the dream of a world circumnavigation
The 2022-23 Oyster World Rally will leave Antigua on 09 January 2022 and head south to the Panama Canal, before arriving at the Galapagos Islands, and then onto French Polynesia. After visiting the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, the fleet then head to Indonesia, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Mauritius. Christmas will be spent in the fantastic city of Cape Town, South Africa before setting off to the remote island of St Helena, en-route back in the Caribbean in early 2023.

Acting upon information received San Ignacio police visited La Loma Luz Hospital in Santa Elena at around 11:00 pm on Sunday, October 7, where they came upon Jose Navarro, 38, businessman of a New Area address in Santa Elena Town, suffering from a gunshot wound to the right side of the head. Navarro, who operates a butane outlet in the area, told the police that at around 9:30 pm, he returned home from church with his family. He reportedly parked his vehicle in the yard, exited the vehicle and made his way into his house along with his wife, daughter and youngest male child, while two of the other boy stayed outside to play. Navarro was inside the house watching television when he saw two male persons running across the street. The house is secured with a burglar barred front door which is usually locked, but on this occasion it was left open since the two boys were playing outside. Upon seeing the men running towards his house, Navarro sprang up from the chair and rushed to the front door in an attempt to lock it resulting in a struggle between him and one of the male persons to close the door. He gave up when he realized that the men were armed. Navarro said that in an effort to protect the wife and two children inside the house, he stepped outside and immediately began struggling with one of the assailant armed with a shotgun with the barrel sawed off. The other assailant with the pistol in hand held up the two sons at gunpoint. The assailant holding up the sons realized that Navarro was overpowering the accomplice with the shotgun and threatened to shoot the boys if he did not halt the struggle with his colleague in crime. Navarro released his hold on the shotgun and he was knocked three times in the back and one time on the leg with the shotgun. Navarro fell to the ground face down. He heard a single shot and immediately realized that he was injured to the head. The gunman entered the house, knocked the wife to the floor and demanded money, fearing for her life she gave him a roll of cash amounting to about two thousand dollars. Apparently not satisfied with the haul, the gunman began searching the house and entered the bedroom where the daughter and son were but did them no harm. He exited the house and approached the bleeding Navarro on the ground demanding more money. Navarro reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet containing about three hundred dollars and gave it to him. Both men then ran off and disappeared in the darkness. The injured Navarro was rushed, in a vehicle driven by his brother, to the Loma Luz hospital where the police met him. Interestingly, according to Navarro, while he was undergoing treatment he was scolded by the interviewing policeman for leaving the scene of the incident and proceeding without the police to the hospital. While we have not reason to doubt this statement, we have to say that this is one of the weirdest statements we have heard in a long time. It is recommended for the police commander to immediately check into this allegation and to issue the necessary corrective instructions as this can NEVER be standard operational police procedures given that man's logical reaction, after getting hurt, is to seek help as quickly as possible. Navarro was treated, received eight stitched and released. He requested minimal hospital stay as he wanted to return home as soon as possible to be with his family. Navarro is currently recuperating at home.
Page 6 STAR Tels: 626-8822 & 626-8841 & 804-4900 Email:starnewspaper@gmail.com Sunday, October 14, 2012 On Thursday, October 18, credit unions in our community and worldwide will come together to celebrate International Credit Union Day and the role that financial cooperatives play in improving the communities they serve and the lives of their members the world over. The theme of the event, "Members Matter Most," encapsulates what has long been the credit unions' Credit Unions: Founded on Community Service Credit Unions: Founded on Community Service Credit Unions: Founded on Community Service Credit Unions: Founded on Community Service Credit Unions: Founded on Community Service principal mission – creating value through member service. In an era that continuously poses economic and financial challenges for people around the world, this theme honors credit unions' principle of putting people before profits. It is the goal of all credit unions to offer access to affordable financial services to all their members and provide even the most financially disadvantaged the tools and the opportunity to be financially self-sufficient. Credit unions are unique because they are not-for-profit, democratically controlled, member-owned cooperatives. Credit unions pool their members' assets to provide low-cost loans and other financial services in the best interest of the members, not to earn shareholder profits. The credit union movement's cooperative spirit is embraced by more than 196 million members served by 51,000 credit unions in 100 countries worldwide, working together to achieve economic progress. Credit unions play a vital role in the economic development and stability of the communities they serve, helping people improve their lives through access to affordable financial services and making the world a better place to live. This year's theme also recognizes other types of cooperative businesses and serves to highlight their contributions to poverty alleviation, job creation and social integration. The United Nations has designated 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, an event that's being celebrated by credit unions and other cooperatives worldwide. Help make our voice be heard. Stellar member service and democratic control are just some of the many benefits of being a credit union or cooperative member. That's as true of credit unions here in Belize as it is in other cooperatively-owned financial institutions from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Cooperatives and credit unions are founded on community service, a principle that has distinguished them for more than 150 years. This International Credit Union Day, we hope everyone will join us in celebrating the credit union difference, our proud cooperative heritage and the wonderful opportunities credit unions and cooperatives offer members of the San Ignacio/Santa Elena community every day.

Editor of the magazine, Adam Pitluk, writes, "Kim Simplis Barrow is our friend." Undoubtedly, it is a description that every Belizean can attest to. Whilst she has been a champion for the Belizean people, Kim's truest test came when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. On an arduous journey of stage three of the illness, Kim had to endure chemo radiation which led to heart complications. Speaking of her struggles, Kim said, "I felt an overwhelming sadness. I saw my life and all my plans coming to a halt." But as Pitluk articulated, Mrs. Barrow's life and plans never stopped, for she has continued tirelessly in her role as Special Envoy for Women The First Lady of Belize's Cancer struggle featured in American Way Magazine and Children with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. The story, albeit touching, speaks of Kim's inner strength and positive outlook on life. In short, Pitluk highlighted Kim's work, accomplishments and ultimately, her trademarka winning personality with a fighter's spirit. Kim's advice to women fighting the disease, "Do not be daunted by the clouds that share the sun–filled sky of your recuperation. They will move and shift as time goes on". American Airlines flies more people across the world than any other airline. American Way is the inflight magazine available on all AA flights. This multi-award winning magazine introduces travellers to many aspects of the American living including lifestyle, entertainment, travel, business, technology. A staple of the publication is its celebrity profile feature, which in this issue, tells the story of breastcancer survivor, Christina Applegate. Kim was also featured in the June 15th, 2009 issue of the magazine.

" We went through the list of demands one by one and he informed us of those that can be immediately implemented and he explained the legal ramifications of those that could not. In terms of the request for a vehicle for the San Ignacio police the Prime Minister promised to purchase and send a new vehicle to San Ignacio before the week is out. He told us that he has many restless nights with every senseless murder that takes place in the country" said Roches. "He also told us that he fully supports the people's action calling for an end to the crime and violence plaguing our country. The Prime Minister told us that he would not be able to come to San Ignacio but that he will send Attorney General Wilfred Elrington and National Security CEO, George Lovell to meet with the people at a meeting schedule for Wednesday night" concluded Roches. A productive meeting, positive response from the Prime Minister, long before the Wednesday morning deadline, was realized. If one was to be guided by the agreement reached at the Sunday evening meeting, then all activities planned for Thursday should have been called off. When this question was put to Marcel Bedran he insisted that despite the outcome Continued From Page 2Cayo Demonstrates Peacefully...Nancy Juan (Photo AMS) Kimo Jolly (Photo AMS) CEO George Lovell (L) Hon. Wilfred Elrington (Photo AMS) Albert Moore (Photo AMS) Edward Jenkins (Photo AMS) George Gonzalez (Photo AMS) Carmita Lemus (Photo AMS) of the meeting and the positive response from the Prime Minister, Thursday's activities would continue. And so the Wednesday night meeting, with about 150 persons in attendance was held at the Center for Employment Training in San Ignacio. Present for the meeting, as promised by the Prime Minister, were the Attorney General and the National Security CEO. The meeting began shortly after 7:00 pm. It came to an abrupt end about two hours later while the Attorney General was at the podium addressing the gathering as those who initially called for the meeting got up and started to leave the room prompting others to follow them. In terms of the Thursday shut down, the majority of businesses including every single Chinese and Hindu stores and Chinese restaurants were closed for the day. At the peak of the event at around 12:30 pm, the gathering was estimated at around 1,500 persons consisting mostly of teachers and students. Over 50% of those in attendance were bused in from Belmopan by means of about a dozen buses that were parked in front of Hode's Restaurant in the Savannah Area of San Ignacio Town. The event ended at the allotted 3 o'clock hour with the receipt of several cash contributions towards a project, spearheaded by the recently formed "Purple Movement" to finance a forensic laboratory. For those who might not be aware, there exists, in Ladyville near the Belize Defence Force Compound, a relatively new two storey building which houses the Belize's National Forensic Science Service. The building was constructed in Ladyville, they said, in order to safeguard against hurricanes. The Belize National Forensic Science Service however, lacks several forensicequipment including DNA testing capability. With the building already in place, the cost of improved forensic services in Belize will therefore be of a recurrent nature including the paying of the scientists and the recurring purchase of materials for the various testings. While there is reliable information that forensic specialists are nearing the positive matching of the boot sole mark found on the body of Suzenne Martinez with one connected to the prime suspect; in all of the activities over the past several days, the fact that not a single arrest has been made in any aspect of the Suzenne Martinez murder, seems to have been placed on the back burner as those with political agendas continue to bask in the lime light produced by the large gathering at the expense of a still grieving family.

Re: No wifi or wired networking!
Does someone know what the numbers in the 2nd column are about?
Stevo wrote: Possibly, but if firmware is missing, usually no "eth0" interface is created at all.
So if the "eth0" interface has been created and is "UP", it's probably not a problem with the ethernet driver?
Yes, maybe it's mnetwork blocking connections or something. Possibly removing the package will help.
I tried removing both mepis-mnetwork and network-manager-kde, it didn't help.
I'm back to thinking there might be a problem with the driver.
I saw a couple of old posts that implied that part/driver would not work with the interface named eth0. I can't believe that changing the name to eth1 would work but stranger things have happened. I also don't know how to change the interface name, but maybe this will jog someone's memory.
There may be a clue there. I remarked in an earlier thread that the drivers for RT2870 change wlan0 to ra0 - but that's across distros yet there are no such modifications to eth0 to accomodate the wired connection?
EDIT Found this link http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linu ... sing-udev/ about renaming conections which proably means more to you gurus!
I've been digging into this a little more, I'm wondering if the problem might have something to do with the 2.6.27 kernel that Mepis 8.0 used?
There's a lengthy Redhat bugreport thread here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460747 where the 2.6.27 kernel (and some other versions) had problems with the r8169 driver similar to what we're seeing here.
There's also an old topic on our own forum here: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... ilit=r8169. If you read all the way thru those posts it looks like it was never resolved for the 2.6.27 kernel. In the final post in the topic (http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 48#p203148) the o.p. said he had installed M8.5 and had a working internet connection with it.
M8.5 used a 2.6.32 series kernel that can also be installed in M8. Maybe download the 2.6.32 kernel from whatever install you have a working internet connection with, and then boot back into M8 and install it with dpkg.
I've downloaded the 2.26.32 (64bit) deb file. Hand-holding needed here for the dpkg step!?
And before proceeding, didn't you mention somewhere about a kernel update being needed to get the RT2870 working in M8 (if at all)? Can we kill two birds with one stone?
You might even be able to install it with KPackage just by clicking on it. KPackage doesn't automatically install missing dependencies like gdebi does, but I don't think there'll be any missing dependencies.
If that doesn't work, open Konsole and change to the directory where the .deb file is located, then su to root.
TenderFoot wrote: ...And before proceeding, didn't you mention somewhere about a kernel update being needed to get the RT2870 working in M8 (if at all)? Can we kill two birds with one stone?
That could've been a paradox given the lack of any internet connection (unless using a temporary pci card)!
However, I'm happy to report SUCCESS (using KPackage)!
I guess the next step will be to update the repo source list then update the system (and sort out the graphics - another thread).
You're right but just wondered whether another kernel upgrade might be required to sort the RT2870 but perhaps a different strategy is required preparatory to the steps previously discussed for M11?
EDIT The connection is not entirely stable! This may be a consequence of earlier blundering about since the tray is showing two icons - the tv screens (knemo) and a green disc (Knetworkmanager). Does indicate that there are two competing services?

Best of class? In Dublin, 222 grads tie
Charlie Boss, The Columbus Dispatch
Jun 3, 2015 at 12:01 AM Jun 3, 2015 at 8:15 AM
Graduation ceremonies might still be going on if Dublin schools had asked all of its valedictorians to speak. There were 222 of them. That means two out of every 10 graduates at Dublin's three high schools received top honors this year. Dublin Scioto had 44 valedictorians, Dublin Jerome had 82, and Dublin Coffman had 96.
Graduation ceremonies might still be going on if Dublin schools had asked all of its valedictorians to speak.
There were 222 of them.
That means two out of every 10 graduates at Dublin�s three high schools received top honors this year. Dublin Scioto had 44 valedictorians, Dublin Jerome had 82, and Dublin Coffman had 96.
�I can�t say I�ve heard of that many,� said David Hawkins, executive director for educational content and policy with the National Association of College Admissions Counseling. He�s aware of high schools with 20-some valedictorians in a class but not as many as Coffman�s.
The valedictorian was once the single highest-performing graduate � and some districts, such as Hilliard and South-Western, still adhere to the practice. But experts say it�s more typical to see multiple valedictorians or none at all as educators try eliminate the competition among students to be No. 1 of their class.
�If you look at the big picture, in a situation where you have 96 valedictorians, you are not making fine distinctions between students who have graduated at the top of their class. ... These 96 students have attained the highest level of achievement in their school,� Hawkins said.
Dublin awards valedictorian honors to seniors with at least a 4.1 grade-point average, just 0.1 higher than several districts that use a similar method to determine valedictorians.
Dublin�s numbers aren�t far from recent years, with 186 valedictorians last year and 201 in 2013.
But they outpace neighboring schools: Lincoln High School in Gahanna-Jefferson, for example, had 42 valedictorians. There were 44 at Reynoldsburg High School. Columbus had 61 valedictorians in its 20 high schools; Columbus Alternative High School had the most with 16.
In Olentangy schools, seniors eligible for the valedictorian honor must have the highest cumulative GPA, have taken the most Advanced Placement credits, maintained A�s in all of their courses and have attended an Olentangy high school for multiple years.
Mark Raiff, the district�s chief academic officer, said he is wary of a system that recognizes one student as valedictorian, which can create a �hypercompetitive environment that�s not healthy for kids.�
Students might choose to forgo orchestra and choir for classes with weighted grades to pad their GPA, he said.
�We want to have multiple systems to honor kids who excel academically,� he said.
There were two valedictorians at each of the district�s three high schools. The district also gives graduates summa, magna and cum laude designations.
Bexley, Upper Arlington, Westerville and Worthington don�t offer the valedictorian title at all. Westerville honors the top 10 students in the class. Bexley and Upper Arlington use the summa, magna and cum laude honors. Worthington recognizes students who receive all A�s.
Dublin�s high schools had offered only one student the title of valedictorian until 2008, when officials changed the rules to help more students become eligible for college scholarships linked to valedictorian status.
Doing so has given students an incentive to take advanced classes and to do well in them for a chance at recognition, said Dublin Scioto Principal Bob Scott.
�Since it becomes more attainable, more kids will reach for it,� he said. �They end up pushing themselves, challenging themselves and digging deeper and going after it.�
Dublin Scioto senior Ashley Bodine was focused on earning a high grade-point average during high school and any achievement that came with it, including valedictorian. She initially envisioned that the title would go to the top student in the class.
�It was a little strange at first that I was a valedictorian along with 44 others,� said Bodine, who graduated with a 4.19 GPA and will attend Ohio State University in the fall. �But knowing what it means is still significant.�

Ed, Edd y Eddy (en inglés: Ed, Edd n Eddy) es una comedia televisiva de dibujos animados creada por Danny Antonucci y emitida por Cartoon Network. Se trata de una coproducción entre Canadá, Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur, en la que a.k.a. Cartoon —el estudio de Antonucci, ubicado en Vancouver— se encargaba de las historias, los diseños y la edición de los episodios, mientras que la animación la realizaba el equipo de Yeson Animation Studios en Seúl. Se centra en Ed, Edd y Eddy (con las las voces de Matt Hill, Samuel Vincent y Tony Sampson, respectivamente), tres chicos preadolescentes que a menudo estafan a los miembros de su vecindario para poder comprar caramelos gigantes, metiéndose así en diversos aprietos.

De todas las series originales de Cartoon Network, Ed, Edd y Eddy es la más longeva, con seis temporadas emitidas a lo largo de diez años. Se estrenó el 4 de enero de 1999 y finalizó el 8 de noviembre de 2009 con la emisión de su película Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. También comprende tres especiales con temática festiva: «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle», «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo» y «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw». La serie se caracteriza por su estilo de animación en  que los contornos de los personajes son temblorosos y por enfatizar el humor slapstick. Antonucci, quien primero se hizo famoso por sus obras dirigidas al público adulto, basó tanto las tramas como los personajes en gente y anécdotas de su vida personal. También comentó que su intención era presentar un mundo en que los Eds lucieran «feos» y las historias carecieran de mensajes morales.

Ed, Edd y Eddy fue un éxito de audiencia entre distintos grupos demográficos y ha sido doblada a múltiples idiomas, además de haber generado reseñas favorables. Por ella, la Sociedad Nacional de Caricaturistas de Estados Unidos galardonó a Antonucci con el premio Reuben a la mejor animación televisiva. Patric Caird también fue premiado en dos ocasiones por haber compuesto la música jazz del programa. Por otro lado, se han hecho camisetas, gorras, videojuegos e historietas basados en este dibujo animado, entre otros productos licenciados.

Premisa y personajes

Ed, Edd y Eddy se centra en la vida de los Eds, tres chicos preadolescentes cuyos planes para estafar a los miembros de su vecindario (un callejón cerrado o cul-de-sac) y poder comprar caramelos son, generalmente, la base de sus desventuras durante lo que parecen ser unas interminables vacaciones de verano. Los tres, tratados con sumo desdén por los demás vecinos, difieren grandemente en personalidad, pero les une su gusto por los caramelos y la constante ambición por conseguir dinero. El líder, Eddy, es un «megalómano» amante de la atención que planifica todas las trampas con las que el trío ocupa su tiempo libre. Ed, quien suele aportar su descomunal fuerza física, es un aficionado a las películas de monstruos y se compromete fácilmente en los proyectos de Eddy; entre los otros Eds, se caracteriza por su escasa inteligencia. El tercero, Edd, es llamado Doble D para evitar confusión con Ed. Estudioso, tranquilo, pulcro y sumamente cortés, es una especie de chico genio que crea útiles artilugios y jamás se quita su gorro negro. Aunque los Eds son persistentes, muchas de sus travesuras resultan en fracaso y humillación frente a sus vecinos, en lugar de generarles el respeto que buscan. Dado que no aprenden ninguna lección, retoman sus objetivos en cada episodio.

Los vecinos del cul-de-sac terminan de componer el reducido grupo de personajes, ya que los adultos parecen estar ausentes (los padres de Doble D, por ejemplo, se comunican con él mediante notas adhesivas solamente). Jonny 2×4 es un chico solitario que pasa gran parte de su tiempo hablándole a su tabla de madera, Plank, cuyo rostro sonriente está dibujado con lápices de crayón. El pequeño Jimmy usa aparatos dentales y prefiere jugar exclusivamente con las niñas, dado que es muy susceptible a los accidentes y a la tosquedad de los niños varones. Su mejor amiga es Sarah, la hermana menor de Ed, quien es temperamental, controladora, caprichosa y siente atracción por Doble D. Rolf, otro de los chicos, pertenece a una familia de inmigrantes de origen indeterminado y practica todo tipo de costumbres culturales extrañas. Por su lado, Kevin es el joven cínico y sarcástico que cuestiona todas las ideas del trío principal, puesto que los considera «mensos». La más madura de ellos es Nazz, quien es adorada por los chicos del vecindario y opina que los Eds «son graciosos». También están las hermanas Kanker: Lee, May y Marie, matonas que viven apartadas del cul-de-sac en una autocaravana y están decididas a casarse con el trío protagonista.

En palabras de Danny Antonucci, el creador del programa: «Los episodios están organizados para que entres a una porción de sus días [...] Es casi un slice of life voyerista y no tanto una historia preparada. [Al inicio, los Eds] ya están trabajando en algo, o algo acaba de salir mal y ahora tienen que irse a otro lugar». También comentó que, aunque en la serie se puedan inferir temas como la verdad o la amistad, no le gustaban las caricaturas con moralejas condescendientes, por lo que tampoco se aborda directamente el tema de la pubertad. Según el escritor David Perlmutter, el programa por lo general carece de argumento y le pone mayor énfasis a una serie de «gags dispersos». Mientras tanto, la periodista Cynthia Werthamer lo comparó con la telecomedia Seinfeld por tratarse de «historias sobre nada» que se diferencian de series como The Simpsons o King of the Hill. En el episodio «Nagged to Ed» (1999), por ejemplo, los Eds disfrutan la atención que les dan las hermanas Kanker hasta sentirse fastidiados, mientras que en «It's Way Ed» (1999) intentan convertirse en referentes de la moda entre sus vecinos. En «Out with the Old, In with the Ed» (2005), las vacaciones de verano llegan a su fin y los chicos se preparan para reanudar sus estudios en Peach Creek Jr. High, mientras que en «Truth or Ed» (2006), Eddy lucra por difundir chismes falsos en el periódico escolar.

Reparto

Desarrollo

El canadiense Danny Antonucci inició su carrera en la animación durante la temporada 1979-1980 como animador principal de la serie Scooby-Doo. Aunque luego trabajó en producciones aptas para todo público (como The Smurfs o The Flintstones), su material independiente se diferenciaba por su tono violento y por estar dirigido a la audiencia adulta. En 1987 obtuvo notoriedad con su cortometraje Lupo the Butcher (sobre un carnicero que accidentalmente mutila sus propios dedos) y, tras fundar su estudio de producción a.k.a. Cartoon en 1994, creó la serie The Brothers Grunt para MTV, la cual fue cancelada tras ser fuertemente rechazada por los televidentes.

Un día en 1996, a petición de Nickelodeon, Antonucci se dispuso a crear algo para el público infantil, pues «tenía muchas ganas de hacer una caricatura para que mis hijos la vieran». A través de un fax, el canal recibió un dibujo de Ed, Edd y Eddy, quienes habían sido diseñados para un comercial. Ante la pronta respuesta, el animador vio la posibilidad de conseguir un contrato, pero también sintió curiosidad por cómo Cartoon Network recibiría la misma propuesta. La ejecutiva Linda Simensky le hizo llegar aquel dibujo al vicepresidente de programación Mike Lazzo, quien se mostró muy interesado y en los meses posteriores recibió lo que sería la biblia del programa. Una guerra de ofertas entre ambos canales tuvo lugar entonces. Tras llegar a buenos términos con Betty Cohen —la presidenta de Cartoon Network— y asistir a su primera reunión de negocios en un hotel de Los Ángeles, Antonucci inició su trato para producir Ed, Edd y Eddy para dicho canal, sin tener que realizar un episodio piloto. Hasta ese punto, Cartoon Network había producido sus series a través de Hanna-Barbera, mas esta vez le concedió esa tarea al estudio de Antonucci, ubicado en Vancouver. Además de eso, al creador se le confió el control creativo, lo que le sirvió para hacer el programa sin repetir lo que otros ya habían hecho: «No hay otra caricatura como esta», aseveró; «Cartoon Network nos ha dado la libertad para explorar todos los escenarios ridículos que pueden ocurrir en este mundo demente que hemos creado».

Según Antonucci, Ed, Edd y Eddy fue una manera de revivir lo que recordaba de ser pequeño durante las vacaciones de verano, cuando debía hacer dinero por su cuenta para comprar caramelos o historietas. Un método común para ello era actuar como un emprendedor y armar su propio puesto de limonadas, concepto que exploró en un episodio de la caricatura. Asimismo, los tres Eds representan la «neurosis» de su creador: Eddy, el «fanfarrón, ruidoso, creído y el payaso de la clase»; Ed, el «lento que vive en su propia caja de cereal», y Doble D, «el retraído, analítico y susceptible» que es meticuloso en todo. Afirmó que no había una razón profunda en haber bautizado a estos personajes con nombres similares, más allá de que, al llegar a una escuela nueva, el primer amigo que hacía siempre era alguien con un nombre parecido al suyo. Además, pensó que «Eddy era un nombre divertido». Las ideas a veces surgían de ver a sus dos hijos crecer; cuando uno de ellos, Marlow, se acercó para hablarle con varios de sus amigos, Antonucci notó que sus lenguas tenían colores extraños por haber comido caramelos. Es por ello que los personajes de Ed, Edd y Eddy tienen lenguas multicolor. Asimismo, «la escena en que los chicos pierden sus calzones y quedan desnudos frente a sus amigos en una fiesta [es algo que] me sucedió a mí», comentó en 1999.

Los demás personajes del callejón también están basados en personas con las que Antonucci creció. Entre ellas están Deb y Dolly King, las chicas de octavo grado que se enamoraron de él y otro de sus compañeros; en ellas basó a las hermanas Kanker. Igualmente, el pequeño de su vecindario que solía chuparse el dedo y llevaba su manta consigo a todos lados es el homólogo a Jonny 2×4 y su tabla Plank. Por otro lado, Doble D siempre oculta su cabello bajo un gorro porque en la niñez de Antonucci hubo un chico que se negaba a quitarse el suyo, aunque esto le causara problemas; años más tarde, el creador no lograba explicarse si este en realidad ocultaba algo, por lo que sucede lo mismo en torno a Doble D. De acuerdo con Antonucci, quien creció viendo las animaciones de Max Fleischer y Warner Bros., Ed, Edd y Eddy es un retorno al estilo de las caricaturas de antaño. Inclusive, ciertos medios la han descrito como una mezcla entre «Los tres chiflados» y «The Little Rascals». Los Eds terminan cada episodio sin aprender una lección y los escenarios que viven son «exagerados hasta la absurdidad», por lo que el creador esperaba que, al ver la serie, los adultos recordaran cuán «estúpidos» fueron alguna vez, ya que tampoco existe un «sentido condescendiente de la moralidad con el cual tratar». En otras palabras, «apelará al sentido del entretenimiento solamente». Cuando surgían problemas con la censura, Antonucci sostenía que principalmente a él debía gustarle el programa.

Producción

Entre cuarenta y cincuenta personas trabajaban en el edificio de a.k.a. Cartoon para producir Ed, Edd y Eddy; esto incluia al equipo de artistas, guionistas y editores. Antonucci, quien también coescribía y dirigía los episodios, afirmó que el programa se valía primero de un guion de solo tres páginas, llamado esbozo o story outline. Las voces se grababan después en los estudios Voicebox de la ciudad de Vancouver bajo la dirección de Terry Klassen. Los diseños y los storyboards (guiones gráficos que indicaban cambios de escena, ángulo, acción e iluminación) se hacían para su envío a Yeson Animation Studios (en Seúl, Corea del Sur), donde otra plantilla de cien personas trabajaban para animar la serie con la técnica tradicional del cel. Ed, Edd y Eddy fue la última gran producción de Occidente en realizarse de esta manera, ya que Antonucci era un defensor del método manual.

En a.k.a. Cartoon se editaba el material resultante para luego remitirlo a Los Ángeles, donde otras diez personas tomaban control sobre el programa. «Somos un montón de artistas que unen sus esfuerzos con un solo propósito», declaró Antonucci, quien también describió el ambiente laboral de a.k.a. Cartoon como «una comunidad» más que un «espacio de oficina». Cabe decir que Ed, Edd y Eddy fue parte de un resurgimiento en la industria de la animación canadiense tras la recesión que esta experimentó en la década de 1990. En ese país, al menos 120 animadores se graduaban cada año y el estudio de Antonucci operaba totalmente con personas de ahí. Bajo contrato, a.k.a. Cartoon debía producir un total de cuatro temporadas hasta 2002, pero en febrero de 2004 se anunció la autorización de veintiséis episodios adicionales. Se contaba ya con 104 historias ambientadas en el cul-de-sac durante el verano, y en adelante se exploraron entornos como la escuela y estaciones como el invierno. Antonucci expresó al respecto:

Para prolongar la sensación de movimiento, incluso cuando los personajes están quietos, la serie utiliza la técnica de las «boiling lines», que consiste en trazar el mismo dibujo tres veces en diferentes hojas de papel, lo que crea contornos temblorosos cuando los fotogramas se suceden entre sí. Antonucci explicó que esto ayudaba a diferenciar Ed, Edd y Edd de otras animaciones emitidas en Cartoon Network, en las que el delineado de los personajes es más bien recto y tradicional. Animation World Magazine afirma que el modo en que los contornos tiemblan y varían entre sí crean un estilo «espontáneo» que añade textura y luce hecho por un niño. Además, los habitantes del cul-de-sac se distinguen entre sí a través del movimiento. Los walk cycles (ciclos de animación en que un personaje anda y el fondo se mueve con él) ayudaron a definir cómo cada uno de ellos camina, corre, voltea, se detiene o pestañea mediante secuencias en bucle. «Hicimos un montón de esos para conseguir el resultado final», afirmó Antonucci.

En posproducción, la tecnología del Digital Video Noise Reduction (DVNR) servía para «purificar» los colores, aunque con su empleo la integridad de la imagen podía verse comprometida (por ejemplo, las líneas y los contrastes altos). Animaciones más antiguas que Ed, Edd y Eddy, como Woody Woodpecker o The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, eran sometidas a este método para ser relanzadas en ediciones restauradas. Tras ver los efectos adversos del DVNR, Antonucci decidió reducir su uso al mínimo, al menos en las primeras temporadas, antes de que la animación en cel quedase obsoleta y el entintado digital tomara su lugar. Puesto que los negativos de la serie podían estar muy sucios al provenir de Corea, era necesario someterlos a estos retoques, algo que el creador calificó como «un mal necesario» ante la rapidez que demandaban los cadenas estadounidenses para emitir el contenido. Sin embargo, añadió: «La mayor parte de la audiencia no lo nota a menos que [la degradación de la imagen] sea muy, muy mala. Se lo mostré a mis hijos y sus amigos, y ninguno de ellos lo notó».

Diseños

Antonucci quería manifestarse en contra de la animación CGI y diseñó a los Eds «feos» para que lucieran humanos y no hechos por una máquina. Según él, se trataba más de presentar un mundo con el cual sentirse familiarizado en lugar de uno «hermosamente diseñado». Los personajes de Ed, Ed y Eddy se asemejan a los niños reales en cuanto a vestimenta; usan camisas de un solo color o con rayas, además de bermudas o pantalones largos. También varían en estatura, según los modelos aprobados para la producción; entre los Eds está el alto (Ed), el mediano (Doble D) y el bajo (Eddy). La mayoría de ellos tiene cabelleras de colores comunes (negras, pelirrojas o rubias), aunque también están los de cabello azul (Rolf o Marie Kanker). Dada esta variedad en los diseños, las hojas de referencia o model sheets eran necesarias para mantener la consistencia del estilo visual, ya que diferentes animadores podían trabajar en una misma escena. Nuevos accesorios podían incluirse de acuerdo con la trama del episodio, por lo que requerían un model sheet específico que indicara qué parámetros había que seguir para dibujarlos o darles color. De acuerdo con Cartoon Network, los fondos son elaboradas pinturas que sirven para hacer más efectivo un chiste o generar cierto estado de ánimo. Con ellos se proveen imágenes de los interiores de los hogares y de los diferentes exteriores inmediatos al cul-de-sac.

Música

Ed, Edd y Eddy tiene temas de jazz compuestos por el canadiense Patric Caird a petición de Antonucci. Su amistad comenzó a raíz de su gusto por tal género y por cantantes como Frank Sinatra cuando vivían en el mismo complejo de apartamentos a mediados de los años 1980.

«Existe un poco de tradición en [el uso de] los cuernos y cosas con estilo jazzy en la animación, pero Danny no quería hacer nada que se hubiera hecho antes», comentó Caird, cuyos aportes están presentes a lo largo de las seis temporadas del programa, sus tres especiales y Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, lo que equivale a diez años de trabajo. Durante ese tiempo grabó con una banda de jazz de seis músicos, experiencia que describió como «agotadora a veces... [pero] muy gratificante». Todo ello constituye su obra más conocida, dada la popularidad que tuvo Ed, Edd y Eddy en Estados Unidos. En cuanto a inspiración mencionó a Louis Prima y Duke Ellington: «[Como si] los autobuses de sus bandas colisionaran de frente en el desierto y la banda de los Eds estuviese hecha de los sobrevivientes».

El tema de apertura fue parte del paquete que Antonucci le mostró a Cartoon Network antes de producir el programa. Fue compuesto por Caird con base en la canción «Big Noise from Winnetka» de Bob Crosby y The Bob Cats e incluye los silbidos del mismo Antonucci. En la serie acompaña una secuencia creada por el animador Paul Boyd, en la que los Eds se pasan entre sí la cámara que los está grabando. Además, está incluido en el álbum compilatorio Cartoon Medley (1999), del sello Rhino Records.

Emisión y audiencia

Aunque debía estrenarse el 7 de noviembre de 1998, Ed, Edd y Eddy salió al aire por primera vez el 4 de enero de 1999 como la quinta serie original de Cartoon Network creada para el horario estelar, debido a «demoras menores» en la posproducción. Aunque hubo dudas sobre si lograría cosechar un seguimiento amplio debido a la «ausencia de chicas en roles centrales», el programa fue el más visto entre los niños de dos a once años y las niñas de seis a once. Rob Sorcher, el exvicepresidente ejecutivo de Cartoon Network en Estados Unidos, afirmó que, aunque dichos grupos componían la audiencia clave del canal, al menos una tercera parte de quienes disfrutaban su señal eran «baby boomers que crecieron viendo caricaturas». A su vez, la ejecutiva Linda Simensky aseguró que a la primera temporada «le fue notablemente bien» en términos de audiencia, lo que convirtió a Ed, Edd y Eddy en una las producciones más vistas de Cartoon Network. Más aún, en 2005 se reportó que fue la serie más sintonizada de toda su programación y era conocida entre un 79% de los niños de seis a once años.

Los episodios solían tener un espacio en el bloque de programación Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, donde Cartoon Network emitía sus series originales durante cuatro horas cada viernes por la noche. El letrero TV-Y7 indicaba que estos eran aptos para niños mayores de siete años, en obediencia a las regulaciones de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (o FCC, por su sigla en inglés).  «The Best Day Edder», un maratón presentado el 27 y 28 de abril de 2007, culminó con lo que entonces se anunció como el episodio final —dos años antes del final definitivo, el telefilme Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show—. Con «The Best Day Edder», Cartoon Network obtuvo sus cuotas de pantalla más altas de 2007 hasta ese mes. En mayo, Ed, Edd y Eddy fue uno de los programas incluidos en el evento «Cartoon Network Invaded» con el estreno del episodio «The Eds Are Coming!», que tenía en común la temática de extraterrestres con cuatro producciones del canal (The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey y Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends). Otros maratones incluyen el «Ed's Day Off Marathon» de 2004 (en celebración del Día de Martin Luther King Jr.) y la antesala de siete horas a Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, que aumentó la audiencia de 9-14 años en un 14% (16% en niños de 9-14 y 17% en niñas de 6-11).

Ed, Edd y Eddy atrajo la atención de 31 millones de hogares y ha sido vista en al menos veintinueve países. También ha sido doblada a múltiples idiomas, tales como el italiano, el hindi, el chino, el francés, el alemán y el español. En Hispanoamérica, por ejemplo, se estrenó el 9 de abril de 1999 junto con Las chicas coquetas (The Powerpuff Girls). «[Al verla] nos partimos de la risa», comentó Antonucci sobre las versiones traducidas de su caricatura. La serie se emitió durante casi once años; comprende un total de seis temporadas (equivalentes a 131 segmentos de entre once y veintidós minutos) y tres especiales, además de Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. Así, se trata de la serie más longeva en la historia de las producciones originales de Cartoon Network y, al momento de su culminación, la más larga en la historia de la animación canadiense. Comic Book Resources reportó que, hasta julio de 2020, Ed, Edd y Eddy era difícil de encontrar más allá de sus escasas retransmisiones y lanzamientos limitados en DVD, pese a su notabilidad como el «Cartoon Cartoon» más duradero. Sin embargo, el programa entró por primera vez al catálogo de la plataforma HBO Max en enero de 2021. También ha estado disponible para su compra/renta en servicios como Amazon Prime Video y Google Play.

Especiales

Terminada la cuarta temporada, a.k.a. Cartoon pasó a producir tres episodios especiales bajo la comisión de Cartoon Network. Se trata de «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle», «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo» y «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw», todos basados en una celebración distinta. El primero se estrenó el 3 de diciembre de 2004 y sigue a Eddy, quien, inconforme por no recibir más que ropa en Navidad, decide irse a vivir con sus conocidos del cul-de-sac para apropiarse de sus regalos. Al mismo tiempo ignora lo que, según Ed y Doble D, es el verdadero significado de esta festividad.

En «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo», estrenado el 5 de febrero de 2005, los Eds tienen planes diferentes para el Día de San Valentín. Dos enviados de Cupido —iguales a Sarah y Jimmy— disparan sus flechas hacia Doble D y May Kanker, quienes se enamoran y causan el disgusto de los demás personajes. Eddy y Ed, en su intento de devolver a su amigo a la normalidad, tendrán un enfrentamiento con las hermanas Lee y Marie.

Por último, «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw», estrenado el 28 de octubre de 2005, sigue a los Eds mientras usan un mapa para encontrar el legendario vecindario de Spook-E-Ville, donde ansían practicar «dulce o truco» durante la noche de Halloween. Ed, con su cabeza invadida por películas de terror, siente que hay monstruos vigilando sus pasos y ataca a otros miembros del callejón.

Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show

El telefilme de hora y media Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show culmina la serie. Se estrenó en Estados Unidos el 8 de noviembre de 2009, tras haberse emitido primero en Australia, Escandinavia y el Sudeste Asiático. En el marco del décimo aniversario del programa, Antonucci había prometido que el filme traería consigo varias sorpresas, entre ellas, la revelación del misterioso hermano de Eddy: «Lo que sucede es que los Eds hacen algo realmente malo y se encuentran huyendo de cul-de-sac para encontrar un lugar seguro [...] todo será muy dinámico y se hará en un formato de pantalla ancha. Hemos trabajado en la película durante los últimos dos años, con el mismo equipo que trabajó en la serie».

Una programación especial de dos días precedió a la película los días sábado 7 y domingo 8 de noviembre, con siete horas seguidas de Ed, Edd y Eddy. Hasta un porcentaje tres veces mayor de la audiencia sintonizó la premier del anticipado final; 73% más en niños de seis a once años, 56% en niños de dos a once y 145% en niños de nueve a catorce, de acuerdo con los datos de Nielsen Media Research.

Cortos

Además de las emisiones regulares de Ed, Edd y Eddy, Cartoon Network presentó una variedad de cortometrajes que incluian a los personajes del cul-de-sac. En 2004, tanto ellos como otros dibujos animados del canal convivieron en una serie de intersticiales de sesenta segundos creados por el estudio Animal Logic para promover la identidad visual de la cadena. En uno de ellos, numerosos personajes se esconden de Jimmy alrededor de un gran estacionamiento diseñado en 3D. Ese año, los Eds aparecieron junto al basquetbolista  Steve Francis en uno de los comerciales protagonizados por personajes de Cartoon Network y jugadores del All-Star Game de la NBA. Asimismo, los llamados «Groovies» que salieron al aire durante las pausas comerciales en el periodo 1999-2005 eran videoclips basados en los «Cartoon Cartoons». En la letra de «My Best Friend Plank» se explora la amistad de Jonny 2×4 con su tabla Plank; los visuales que componen el videoclip —dirigido por Jonas Odell— muestran a Plank recorriendo varios escenarios de estilo vintage, como un parque, una playa y un campamento. Steve Patrick compuso el tema inspirado en la obra del cantautor James Taylor y añadió un conjunto de «diferentes juegos de palabras sobre carpintería». En otro «Groovie», «The Incredible Shrinking Day» —cantado por Garrett Freireich—, Sarah encoge a los Eds para hacerlos caber en su casa de muñecas. Stuart Hill compuso el tema para que los niños pudieran identificarse con él: «Si la historia es que ella te pone en esta casa, [el mensaje es] "no me voy a quedar aquí, mis amigos me importan más". [Es] algo que los niños cantarían», explicó él. Tanto «My Best Friend Plank» como «The Incredible Shrinking Day» fueron realizados por el estudio Filmtecknarna en Estocolmo (Suecia).

Derivados

Ed, Edd y Eddy es una marca registrada de The Cartoon Network, Inc. y está sujeta a adornar una amplia variedad de mercancías. Algunas salieron a la venta a través de la tienda en línea de Cartoon Network, donde había fundas para celular, pósteres, tazas, gorras y camisetas con estampados del programa. La cadena de restaurantes Subway produjo juguetes de los Eds y Sarah para ofrecerlos en sus menús infantiles en 2003, al igual que las cajas de cereales Kellogg's en el Reino Unido con sus bobbleheads de Eddy y otros seis personajes del canal. En 2005, los cels de producción originales podían adquirirse como ítem coleccionable a un precio de 260 USD. También se hicieron mil copias de una estatuilla de porcelana eculpida por Tony Cipriano en que los Eds jugaban con un cohete hecho a base de chatarra, mientras que Titan Merchandise lanzó en 2017 las figuras en vinilo del trío protagonista como parte de su «Cartoon! Cartoon! Collection». Ed, Edd y Eddy también figura en varios números del cómic Cartoon Network Block Party, publicado por DC Comics hasta el quincuagésimo noveno volumen (desde 2004 hasta 2009). Por parte de la editorial Scholastic existieron dos libros: Lots of Laughs de Jesse Leon McCann, con versiones narradas de los episodios «Sir-Ed-A-Lot», «Who, What, Where, Ed!» y «Hot Buttered Ed», y Book of Extreme Excuses de Howie Dewin, una guía para inventar excusas como lo harían los Eds.

En cuanto a lanzamientos en DVD, Warner Home Video incluyó episodios de Ed, Edd y Eddy en colecciones temáticas como Cartoon Network Halloween: 9 Creepy Capers (con «Dawn of the Eds»), Cartoon Network Christmas: Yuletide Follies (con «Fa-La-La-La-Ed») y Cartoon Network: Christmas Rocks (con «Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle»).

La serie también cuenta con sus propias colecciones, empezando por Edifying Ed-Ventures de 2005 (con «Sir Ed-a-Lot», «Who, What, Where, Ed», «Avast Ye Eds», «Know-It-All Ed», «Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed» y «Hot Buttered Ed») y Fools' Par-Ed-Ise de 2006 (con «If It Smells Like an Ed», «Take This Ed and Shove It», «One Size Fits Ed», «A Case of Ed», «Here's Mud in Your Ed» y «Fool on the Ed»).

La primera y segunda temporada se han editado respectivamente como The Complete First Season (2005) y The Complete Second Season (2006) con sus veintiséis episodios correspondientes y extras como «Detrás de los Eds», «Cómo Dibujar a Ed» y el videoclip de «The Incredible Shrinking Day». Por último, el recopilatorio Ed, Edd n Eddy The Complete Series se lanzó en octubre de 2022 y cuenta con todos los episodios de la serie repartidos en diez DVD, lo que equivale a 1450 minutos de contenido.

Videojuegos

CartoonNetwork.com ofrecía una variedad de juegos en Flash basados en Ed, Edd y Eddy, los cuales seguían a los Eds a través de diferentes aventuras ambientadas en el callejón; entre ellos estaban Cul-De-Sac Smash, Clash of the Idiots, Eds Candy Machine Deluxe y Ed Over Heels. Por parte de Macrospace existe el juego móvil Ed, Edd n Eddy: Giant Jawbreakers (2004), en el que, a lo largo de veintisiete niveles, el trío del cul-de-sac debe moverse de izquierda a derecha para romper los caramelos gigantes que rebotan sobre ellos, sin dejar caer los pedazos.

Igualmente, Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers! de Game Boy Advance consiste en una aventura por ganar una dotación ilimitada de caramelos; fue desarrollado por Climax Group y publicado por BAM! Entertainment el 15 de septiembre de 2002. Le siguió Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures de la desarrolladora Artificial Mind and Movement, lanzado por Midway el 3 de noviembre de 2005 para PC, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox y PlayStation 2. Se trata esta vez de «una serie de niveles episódicos» (llamados «estafas») cuyos gráficos en 3D emulan las líneas temblorosas del programa. El jugador puede alternar entre los tres Eds, quienes cuentan con habilidades diferentes para cumplir las misiones. El productor Roger Faso comentó que Antonucci estuvo involucrado en el desarrollo del juego con tal de que este se apegara al estilo slapstick del programa. Su sucesor fue Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century, cuyo lanzamiento para la Nintendo DS ocurrió el 26 de octubre de 2007. Hasta la fecha, es el último videojuego basado en Ed, Edd y Eddy y consiste en una misión por recuperar el «libro de las estafas» de Eddy (ahora en manos de los vecinos del cul-de-sac), para lo cual los Eds se dispersan y deben atravesar una gran variedad de obstáculos. Su desarrolladora fue Art Co., Ltd, mientras que D3 Publisher se encargó de distribuirlo.

Cabe notar que ninguno de los juegos lanzados para videoconsolas gozó de una recepción muy positiva: el sitio web Metacritic reporta una calificación de 49/100 para Jawbreakers!, 50/100 para The Mis-Edventures y tres críticas negativas sobre Scam of the Century. Por otro lado, locaciones y personajes del programa están incluidos en los videojuegos Cartoon Network Speedway (2003) y Cartoon Network: Block Party (2004), ambos de Majesco Games para Game Boy Advance; tanto el primero —un torneo de carreras en karts— como el segundo —un conjunto de minijuegos con estilo de plataforma— combinan el universo de Ed, Edd y Eddy con el de otras caricaturas de Cartoon Network. Los Eds y las hermanas Kanker también son personajes «nano» —versiones en miniatura de sí mismos— en el videojuego multijugador en línea Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall (2009), que además incluye el cul-de-sac como una de sus muchas locaciones.

Recepción

De acuerdo con Linda Simensky, Ed, Edd n Eddy es una de las series de Cartoon Network cuyo impacto en la cultura popular ha sido patente. En 1999, un periodista de la ciudad de Tallahassee (Florida) escribió una columna que detallaba su búsqueda por los caramelos gigantes que sus hijos habían visto en el programa, al mismo tiempo que empezaba a haber fansites dedicados al mundo de los Eds. En un sondeo publicado por Animation Magazine en 2007, el trío del cul-de-sac obtuvo el quinto puesto entre los veinte personajes favoritos de los niños de ocho a diez años. La misma revista también clasificó Edd, Edd y Eddy como una de las treinta series que definieron el panorama animado durante el periodo 1987-2017. Por otro lado, Aaron Perine de ComicBook.com afirmó que múltiples memes de internet han hecho uso de estos personajes «con gran efecto» desde la década de 2010. El compositor Patric Caird le atribuyó el éxito a los esfuerzos de Antonucci por ser original, mientras que el mismo creador se sintió sorprendido por el amplio alcance que tuvo su caricatura.

La recepción de los críticos mejoró con el tiempo. Nancy McAlister de The Florida Times-Union opinó poco después del estreno que «la historia de tres mejores amigos que atraviesan la pubertad es ruidosa, descabellada e, incluso para una caricatura, imposible de ver». Mientras tanto, N.F. Mendoza de The Hollywood Reporter la calificó como «animación simplista y primitiva que solo puede ser descrita como fea». Cuando Terrence Briggs escribió su reseña para Animation World Magazine, donde tachaba cada segundo de Edd, Edd y Eddy como «relleno» y criticaba la libertad dada a Antonucci en todo aspecto de la producción, un gran número de cartas entusiastas por el programa motivó a la revista a emitir las opiniones de la Sociedad de Animación Clásica de la Universidad de Arte y Diseño de Savannah. Uno de los miembros destacó la manera en que Antonucci trató la estructura de los episodios: «Los personajes pasan de una aventura a otra con poca o ninguna transición [y] las historias son totalmente espontáneas desde la trama hasta los escenarios». Otro aseveró que era difícil «establecer un personaje profundo con un argumento que cambia cada tantos segundos», mas afirmó que esta era su única crítica. Al final se lee: «Nos da gusto ver, como estudiantes universitarios, un programa que intenta ser único. Muchas caricaturas actuales parecen ser híbridos de otras, [pero] Edd, Edd y Eddy echa las ideas viejas a un lado y nos presenta un mundo completamente nuevo de historias y personajes».

Igualmente, el historiador de la animación Hal Erickson describió la técnica narrativa de la serie como «una perfecta imitación de los niños con periodos de concentración cortos», dada la rapidez con que una desventura sucede a la otra. Mike Drucker del sitio web IGN catalogó el episodio «Avast Ye Eds» (1999) como «un buen ejemplo de cómo los animadores desarrollaron un ambiente ingenioso y surrealista con el que la mayoría de los niños podrían identificarse». Su reseña también menciona: «Cada pedazo del programa está ejecutado para [conseguir] el máximo efecto cómico y las interacciones entre los personajes son usualmente muy divertidas». Drucker matiza, sin embargo, que algunas premisas pueden resultar repetitivas.  David Cornelius de DVD Talk también se refirió al aspecto visual: «Las gruesas líneas que forman a los personajes y a los fondos se contonean y se transforman en una confusión delirante. Esto es una animación que está, bueno, realmente animada».

En Encyclopedia of Media Violence (2013), el autor Matthew S. Eastin nota que la «violencia cómica» (o el humor slapstick) es un componente importante de Ed, Edd y Eddy y muchas otras animaciones, un tema controvertido en cuanto a cómo se cree que los infantes se ven influenciados por la exposición a tal contenido. Eastin añade: «Ya que los niños y los adultos jóvenes pueden ser más susceptibles a imitar los actos vistos en los medios, es importante que los padres y los educadores les ayuden a hacer conexiones entre la violencia en pantalla y las amenazas personales de la vida real». En el mismo sentido, Lucy Maher de Common Sense Media acota: «Los tres personajes principales de esta bulliciosa caricatura habitualmente se acosan entre sí y se dicen nombres relativamente benignos, como "menso" o "perdedor". También parecen recibir cero supervisión de un adulto [...] La serie incluye violencia del tipo cartoon (muebles caen encima de Ed, se lanzan puñetazos) [...] pero, por lo demás, es una media hora de diversión inofensiva».
