100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd

This show is an absolute gem! Nick has created shows in the past that lacked so many elements that go together to make a successful show. Mostly, their best shows have been animated (like their biggest hit, "Rugrats"), but the majority of their live action shows have been, well, rather pathetic (like "Clarissa Explains it All", "The Secret World of Alex Mack", and "My Brother and Me"). So with such a past filled with mediocre shows, it was quite surprising that Nick created such a fantastic show. Yes, folks, Nickelodeon finally got it right! The show has great writing and with its talented cast, often joined by classic television veterans, Richard Moll and Joe Piscopo, the show serves up hearty laugh-out-loud moments for the whole family.

This is some of the best example of state of the art visual effects I've ever seen on TV. This show definitely betters the animation for Babe 1 & 2 and is light years beyond the stuff in Dr. Doolittle. I've heard there are no animatronics used. Best off all, my kids, ages three and six love the show!

The idea of the show is pretty good, and the first season was great, but with season 2 starting, they lost some cast (Seth Green and the actor for Justin's sister, which I forgot the name of), which made the show somewhat worse, and, season 3 was even worse, which sadly led to the show being cancelled, on a cliffhanger. My opinion on the show is, that it's great, I didn't really mind the new voice of Eddie, but replacing Justin's sister wasn't really great, because Justin's sister character had attitude and made us hate her, pity her or like her, and overall wasn't a bad character. But without that, the show was still fine, but a little wonky sometimes. The show wasn't the most popular, but it shouldn't have been cancelled in my opinion. It still had a lot of potential and was a good show.

Once again Nickelodeon airs another stupid show for kids that has yet another stupid concept. A bully ends up being transformed into a dog, and must do 100 good deeds in order to be a human again. The only person who knows he can talk is the last kid he picked on. Pretty dumb huh? I sure thought it was, and i'm glad it got axed too. This crap is one of the big reasons Nickelodeon has fallen from my graces (though that happened a long time ago). Shameful isn't it?

It's a good watch, especially the first season, season two and three the other ones are good too but they are scattered, which can confuse you. I really like this show and I wish It wasn't cancelled, but sadly it did. The old shows are the best though, and THIS is one of them.
