A final goodbye to Skipper, Lumpy and Sockhead As you may or may now have noticed, For the past 2-3 weeks now have been going back to my earlier years and watching all the episodes of Ed, Edd, n Eddy again in order. Now, before I begin, you have to know that the last time I watched this show was when I was a child. I would say when I was at least 6 or 7. And I loved it. Every moment. Going back, in a way, hurt. Childhood nostalgia got me every time, and this dull ache in my chest had rooted itself deep within me. It hurt to look back, but at the same time the laughs and feel good moments I had gotten from the show made me want to watch more, every second of the day. I can honestly say that a a child, I DID love this show even more than Invader Zim. I hardly remember watching IZ as a child, but Ed Edd n Eddy was my entire childhood. I watched it more than any other show, even spongebob. But now, years later, I have gone back. And now I have reached its ending, so before I finish it up with Big Picture Show in a few minutes, I just want to say thank you. For all the laughs, all the relatable moments, and all the dumb things you put into my head. As a child, I had friends in my neighborhood that I could relate to the kids in this cartoons odd little cul-de-sac, so I found this show even better when I thought back to all the dumb things WE did as kids. It was a great feeling, I couldnt think about or even Remember those moments until now, but after watching this show, it all came back. And all the moments like how Double Dee was alone most of the time, only finding sticky notes than his parents actual presence. Eds patience for his sister and even through all the crap, he still puts up with her and loves her. The feeling of being outcasted and unaccepted by society. Just those small things you wouldnt see as a kid but you relate to now is just what makes this show great. Another thing is that this show ended. It didnt cancel, it didnt disappear, it ended. It went out with a bang and closed the curtains. This is honestly the only show THAT I KNOW OF OR WATCHED ALL THE WAY THROUGH that ended this way. Im not ready for this, I can promise you I will cry. And I know, youre probably thinking this is a lot of fuss over cartoon that ended YEARS ago, but its not just the fun lovable ed boys Im saying goodbye to. I feel my entire childhood just resides in the feelings I get when I watch this show, and even while laughing and enjoying the idiocy of their failed scams, I always dreaded this moment. Its time to say goodbye to childish things, time to grow up and mature a bit more. Prepare for life, find work, get a license, wonder what I want to do with my life. Time to let go. So with that, thank you. You made me who I am today and I am so glad that this show exists. I can always, of course, go back and watch it whenever I want, but I wont ever be the same as watching it with that sense of curiosity and wonder of what they will attempt to pull off next in their hopes if getting a jawbreaker or just scam a few kids. Thanks for the memories, the laughs, the cries, the smiles, the frowns, the feel good moments, the relatable moments, and thank you for my childhood. I love you three idiots. You made my life, my day, and break my heart at the same time. So now, here I go. Time to end it all. Close the curtains with Big Picture Show, thank you.
