The fourth season of the Canadian-American animated comedy television series Ed, Edd n Eddy, created by Danny Antonucci, originally aired on Cartoon Network from September 27, 2002, to November 5, 2004, and consists of 24 episodes. The series revolves around three adolescent boys collectively known as "the Eds", who live in a suburban cul-de-sac. Unofficially led by Eddy, the Eds constantly scheme to make money off their peers in order to purchase their favorite confectionery, jawbreakers. However, their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. The fourth season was originally set to be the last of the series, but two more seasons as well as three holiday-themed specials were ordered as a result of the series' popularity.[1][2]

The season is available for purchase on the iTunes Store and can be streamed on Netflix.[3][4][5]

Develoment

Two additional seasons of Ed, Edd n Eddy were ordered during the production of the second in 2000.[6] The voice cast remained the same as in season three, featuring Matt Hill, Samuel Vincent and Tony Sampson as Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy, David Paul Grove as Jonny 2x4, Keenan Christenson as Jimmy, Janyse Jaud as Sarah and Lee Kanker, Kathleen Barr as Kevin and Marie, Peter Kelamis as Rolf, and Erin Fitzgerald as Nazz and May Kanker. In 2004, Patric Caird was nominated for the Leo Award for Best Musical Score of an Animation Program or Series, for his work on the episode "Ed in a Halfshell".[7] Caird won in the same Leo Award category in 2005 for his work on the season.[8] In the same year, the season was nominated for Favorite Cartoon at the Kids' Choice Awards.[9] This was the last major animated TV series to use traditional cel animation. In 2004, when the show was renewed for two new seasons, the animators switched over to digital ink-and-paint.

In August 2002, the New York Museum of Television and Radio featured the episode "An Ed Is Born" as part of the special program "Cartoon Power! Celebrating Cartoon Network's 10th Birthday".[10] At the July 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, a cut segment from the season finale "Take This Ed and Shove It" was screened at the Ed, Edd n Eddy panel.[11] The season was written by Antonucci, Jono Howard, Mike Kubat, Geoff Berner and Brent Miller (who only co-wrote "One Size Fits Ed").[12]

When a mysterious superhero named Captain Melonhead (a thinly-disguised Jonny, with Plank as his sidekick, "Splinter the WonderWood") steals the money back and returns it to the kids of the cul-de-sac, Eddy thinks it is payback time, and transforms himself, Edd, and Ed into Professor Scam and his henchmen, the Cents.

A Case of Ed: When Kevin has been grounded for the day, Ed and Eddy celebrate by taunting him with constant insults and annoyances, knowing he cannot leave the house, infuriating him more and more.

He then finds a "kick me" sign on his back (Eddy told him being kicked was a symptom), and gets angry at Ed and Eddy, which leads to him helping Kevin get revenge against the two afterward.

Hand Me Down Ed: Strange things begin to happen as a mysterious boomerang flies into the cul-de-sac, reversing the kids' personalities. Its effects cause Jimmy to become a rough-and-tough muscle-man, Sarah to become disturbingly nice and touchy-feely, and Rolf (though the only person who is conscious of the change and remembers it) to become an opera singer. The Eds are after the rest to be affected by the boomerang's supernatural powers, as it causes Ed to become a genius, Double Dee to become a sweating nudist and Eddy to become the mother to one of his own scams.

Run for Your Ed: The Kankers go on the warpath to find a missing family heirloom, turning the cul-de-sac (and its denizens) upside-down. Unbeknown to the Eds, the ship-in-a-bottle that is stuck on Ed's finger is the very thing the Kankers are after.

5213"Take This Ed and Shove It"Mike Kubat, Jono Howard & Danny AntonucciTout Le MondeTake This Job & Shove ItNovember 5, 2004 (2004-11-05)
When Double Dee points out how the local kids are growing up, Eddy decides to make a quick buck by opening his own career counseling center and helping his neighbors find their dream jobs. This leads to disaster however, as the jawbreakers the Eds hold so dear are locked away from them inside a desk by new dentist Dr. Nazz. After a large trek to get home (all due to the jobs he gave to everyone), Eddy gets crushed by debris and wakes up in the far future to find he is an old man, along with all of the other kids, as well as Ed and Edd. Kevin rides an old person scooter instead of a bike, Jonny is nearly deaf and blind in one eye and Plank has severely worn down, Rolf wears an eyepatch for unknown reasons and is easily confused, Nazz forgets things a lot and Sarah and Jimmy are pretty much the same, but have picked up knitting. Eddy is confused at what is going on, and meets the children at old ages with white hair, cracked voices and wrinkles. Eddy still wants the desk opened so he can get to the jawbreakers, believing they will restore everything back to normal, but it seems the desk is too old to even withstand and becomes dust, making Eddy even more depressed. He eventually awakes, realizing that the whole thing was a dream. Relieved to be a kid, he celebrates his youth, until he almost eats a jawbreaker and, once again, wakes up: to realize that he had been dreaming about his childhood and really is old.
