I don't think it is the best Cartoon Network cartoon though, Dexter's Laboratory was definitely the most consistent, smartest and most engaging of all their shows put together. While some episodes are very repetitive and there are later episodes that meander quite considerably, Codename:Kids Next Door is one of the funnier and original recent Cartoon Network cartoon shows with a great concept. The story lines are creative, the writing is intelligent and funny, the animation is done in a unique visual style, the theme tune is memorable and the characters are likable with unique personalities, Numbah 1 being the smartest and Numbah 3 being the cutest. The voice acting isn't necessarily award worthy but it is solid and delivers the dialogue perfectly. Overall, funny and original, even if like Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy it lost its way in the later episodes. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Codename: Kids Next Door is a cartoon depicting a 5 child chapter of "super agents" part of a much larger organization known as "The Kids Next Door". Using their tree house fortresses sprawled across the globe and their handy "2x4" technology the kids are out to stop "adult tyranny" as well as their super nemeses the "The Delightful Children From Down The Lane" with their evil leader "Father". I personally think this rivals anything Gennedy Tarkovsky has put out in terms of originality, excitement, and humor. This show is chock full of parodies from various niches of pop culture that rarely fall flat, and never get tiresome unlike other cartoons that just take it way too far (Robot Chicken and Family Guy to give some examples). Some of the main characters can get on your nerves (they are brats after all) but the premise and the awesome villains often make you forget the minor annoyances. This show recently ended a few months ago, and I was sad to see it go, but the ending was very fitting. I would recommend this along with Avatar: The Last Airbender as two recent cartoon series that appeal to kids, teenagers, and adults as cartoons with good artistic merit.

While sometimes derivative, the Codename:Kids Next Door is a animated series that everyone can enjoy. The kids in sector V battle adult tyranny, go to school and enjoy life in their tree house. It seems that after the age of 13, they must undergo a decommissioning so that they can no longer work for the organization. This is a source of angst for the team as they love the KND and going on missions together. But in the meantime they do their best although sector V is not the top team, their hearts are always in the right place and adults are usually vanquished. I just wish this cartoon was available for purchase. I'm 50 and a huge fan. Hope they fight on for years.

I watched the first episode of this (no P in the OOL) four years ago when it premiered on Cartoon Network around Christmas time. It didn't really catch my interest then, and we got rid of cable so I never had a chance to watch the rest of the episodes. Years later they switched CN to channel 75 and I miraculously was able to watch it again. By then the show was in it's fourth season or something and still I didn't watch it. Finally, I watched episode M.A.T.A.D.O.R. and immediately loved it. Kids fighting against the evil 'super powers' of adults, how original can you get? I can see why people wouldn't like this, seeing as it's kind of repetitive and the story doesn't really advance much. Nonetheless, compared to the crap that CN now has to offer, this show is absolute genius! The characters are very well thought out and interesting, and the various missions in each episode can be hilarious. I'm a teen and I am not ashamed to watch it because I know a good cartoon when I see it. THIS IS A GOOD CARTOON! Hopefully it'll go on for many years to come. Check it out if you ever get the chance! 10/10
