Codename: Kids Next Door (2002–2008)
10/10
Deserves to be known as one of the Greatest Animated Shows of All Time
15 June 2014
I can't think of any other show that is 100000% better as an adult.

The show is fueled by a child's perspective and understanding of the world, and it is exaggerated into a CSI world. It's a secret organization of Kids fighting adult tyranny.

Think of it as a G-rated animated version of Lord of the Flies but it's not a sausage fest, and there is slightly less killing.

The show had very memorable and likable characters, multiple plot twists, and best of all it was funny. Even as an adult it is genuinely, UN-ironically funny.

"What's a Bra" "And What's she TRAINING for"

It brings you back to those good old days of being an innocent kid, and as an adult you can really appreciate the satire and allegories in the show.

The series finale is by far the best series finale of any show on CN. It is surprisingly sophisticated for something that came out of Cartoon Network. While it's not the most satisfying, at the same time that's kind of what makes it better. It also ends on an ambiguous note.

I don't think calling it one of the great Cartoon Network shows is enough, I would go as far to say it's up there with Avatar and Batman as one of the all time great cartoons.

I have very few complaints except, I kinda want to see more. Why won't they make a remake of this?!

I have never met anyone who has revisited the show when their older and said it WASN'T better than they remember.

While some people say that there are better Cartoon Network shows out there, I'm not sure I agree.
