It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

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.

This show is the most pathetic and retarded shows I've ever seen in my life! I mean, really? A bunch of 10-year-old kids rebelling against teenagers and adults? What were they thinking?! Now, I've seen plenty of bad shows in my life, but this is beyond bad. It's f***ing horrible! It's stupid, boring, and retarded. This show is setting a bad example to kids. Kids watching this may think it's OK to be lazy, not do what their parents ask them, and do stupid things, like eating junk food and being lazy. The villains are also pathetic. Like what writer thinks the Tolienator, Common Cold, Count Spankulot, and Knightbrace are considered awesome villains? What kind of drugs were they taking when they came up with that?I also notice that most of the show's episodes are parodies to famous movies and TV shows. There is nothing wrong with parodies, but this show doesn't seem to execute it quite well.Overall, this show is a disgrace to Cartoon Network. I mean what happened? Cartoon Network was making great cartoon shows, until this miserable s***-load of f*** came on and ruined my childhood. I loved Cartoon Network when I was a kid. I was a huge fan of that channel and I watched it all the time. Until this show came on and destroyed my childhood. So if you're a cartoon fan, do yourself a favor and never, ever watch this show cuz it's not worth your time. Make the right choice and wipe this god-awful piece of s*** off the face of the universe!

Codename: Kids Next Door was an absurdly brilliant, adorable, and enjoyable show during it's stay at Cartoon Network. It gives kids the credit they deserve; they're not just snot-nosed brats. They have strong emotions, they have intelligence, and they have the willpower and hope to reach their goal no matter what, a quality that seems to fade when you reach adulthood. It was one of the few shows on Cartoon Network I'd try specifically to see, and I was always excited when I just happen to turn on the TV and an episodes on. I'll be eagerly awaiting (and hoping for) a continuation after the series finale, such as a movie or extra episode. I'll also be awaiting the release of the KND seasons on DVD. A must see for kids of all ages, from 7 to 70."No matter how old you get, never grow up!"

Young or old, if you enjoy cartoons and animation, then you'll enjoy Kids Next Door. The show's concept is relatively simple: a secret agency composed of ten year-olds fights evil adults; the result is a imaginative world that is both inspired by several genres and movies and creates a distinct universe. The comedy is wide-ranging in the ages it appeals to, the action is entertaining despite the show not being the pinnacle of animation, and the plots are original while paying homage to it's sources: many of the episodes are homages with a KND spin that works extremely well. The characters that make up this rich universes might seem like stereotypes at first, but they grow into completely three-dimensional beings that can be both fun and poignant.Hands down, KND is one of the best original shows on Cartoon Network, keeping with the explosion of comic creativity in the channel that is leagues ahead of most other kid-oriented channels (Nick and Disney come to mind).
