Show Summary

The world is in danger! Only five ten-year-old kids and 1 who loves show are our only hope! Problem: Adults have become tyrants over kids. Solution: five kids decide to change that for themselves and the world. Join these five kids and 1 lover of knd (known by Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, and so on) as they battle evil ranting (yet determined) grown-ups, candy pirates, their arch Nemesis, the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, their Father, a man of fiery powers and that was once known as "Mr. Wigglestines" and his many minions (such as Numbuh 5's older sister, Cree and ex-operative Numbuh 274, Chad). But they also have to deal with havoc amongst themselves... Characters: Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno): Numbuh 1 is the bold leader of the group, hands down. With a fear of bugs and hate for the beach, he still can be the ultimate leader (he does have a girlfriend, and skill of thinking up great tactics and defense) and spare some time for an ice cream! He is the second youngest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 2 (Hoagie Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr.): With a skilled mind and knowledge of a buhzillion, Numbuh 2 is definitely the master in the building department. Also, with puns and jokes like that, what's not to love? He is the third oldest/youngest (In the middle) of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 3 (Kuki Sanban): Hugs and Rainbow Monkeys are just as sweet as Numbuh 3 herself! Known as "The Flirt", this Asian does seem to hit the soft spot of most. However, she may be out-of-it at times, but when you mess with something she loves, you have to pay the price with a she-devil. She is the youngest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 4 (Wallabee "Wally" Beatles): Yes, his nickname ("The Tough Guy") does serve Numbuh 4 well. He sure has a knack for letting his actions speak, therefore making it easy as to what he's about to do. Though, underneath the hard shell, he has that soft spot (though doesn't show it) for people he cares for most. And some would say the person really up there is a certain happy girl. He is the second oldest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 5 (Abigail "Abby" Lincoln): Numbuh 5 would be put in a different crowd from the rest... This laid back girl always keeps her cool, yet sometimes can get a little impatient. All else aside, she is probably the guardian angel of the group, guiding the others, while not getting in the way of everyone's jobs. She is the oldest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 86 (Fanny Fulbright): Head of Decommissioning, defeat teenagers and adults, boss some kids around, this girl could do it all. Numbuh 86 is sure not only hardcore, but like Numbuh 4, soft on the inside. She may have a love for Rainbow Monkeys and thinks Numbuh 4 is pretty cute, but don't let that get to you. No matter what, she'll do her duties as decommissioning teens. Lizzie Devine: Lizzie is the infamous girlfriend of Numbuh 1, her Nigie. She was annoying at first, but the team has realized it could be much worse. Lizzie is the over-protetive type of her boyfriend and sometimes, jealous, but, she always is there to help Numbuh 1, even if she has to crash a couple of ships. Tommy Gilligan: Tommy looks up to his brother, Numbuh 2, and wants to be just like him. Of course, his love for his brother matches the amount of how much he annoys everyone... On the upper hand, he would make an excellent operative! If he can, that is... After a battle, he had to sacrifice his own membuhship to defeat the adults. Mushi Sanban: This little girl is almost exactly like her older sister, Numbuh 3. With the cuteness of a bummillion, she can just as easily get guys as her sister, "stealing" her "man", King Sandy. The Delightful Children From Down The Lane: The Delightful Children From Down The Lane are the KND's arch nemisesses. Working for their Father (see below) they are raised (or made) to give and serve the adults. But most kids, however, think they're creepy, for they talk and walk, and do just about everything as one. Father: Probably the most evil guy on the earth to attack the KND. Father is a conniving and scheming grown-up who happens to be the father of the DCFDTL (the Delightfuls'). He is bent on destroying the KND for interrupting his plans on adults ruling the world. However, he is no match for the KND! Cree Lincoln: Numbuh 5's sister, ex-operative Numbuh 11 (the best of her time), and one of Father's top worker is all Cree. She has it all, skills, knowledge, and a very suductive kiss, which Hank (who is Numbuh 2, teenagerized) has experienced first hand, she is an amazing teenager. But that's just it.. she's a teenager, working with the other side. Chad: Like Cree, Chad is an ex-operative (Numbuh 274, who, also, was the best), and he is also working with Father. He, too, has the skills, and the perfect kid--now teen--(in an adult's eyes), but he gets made fun of once in a while... for wearing a bra, which is really BRA (Battle Ready Armor) that can help him beat up any one and change into any one. Numbuh 362 (Unknown real name): She's the girl with the class and everything. Highest ranking, she is like president of the KND. And of course, she is one chick that Numbuh 86 admires. Of course, she tends to be rather annoyed with 86 easily. The Kid: Not much is known about this guy, but he sure makes Numbuh 2 want to beat him at everything, making him...basically, Numbuh 2's rival (even if he had to work with him). It also seems he likes to make other kids want to rival him, because he sure has Numbuh 4 on a knot for having a "fling" with Numbuh 3... Various Villians: Here's where you could start snoring because a long list of people ((Cough-Adults-Cough)) are coming your way! The list includes Mr. Boss (sort of the "Villian Leader", other than Father), The Toilenator (who just tries too hard and yet gets nothing), Sticky Beard (sort of Numbuh 5's rival, due to the candy-stash), The Cat Lady (self-explanatory), The Common Cold, Count Spankulot, and a whole lot more! They just keep on comin'! DNK: The Destructively Nefarious Kids. They're totally the opposite of the KND! Living in the opposite world (which entrance is through Numbuh 4's pool), everything and everyone in there is quite opposite of the KND's world. All the DNK are known as the "negatives" (i.e. Negative Numbuh 1, Negative Numbuh 2, etc.), and their names backwards. Luckily, by the end of the KND's journey to their world, they agreed to a truce that resolved their answers. Although, it makes you wonder if there would be more of the DNK... Rainbow Monkeys: Yes, they may not be characters, but are very important to the KND in many ways. Every girl couldn't live without them, and Numbuh 3 certainly wouldn't have her stuffed-animal filled room. Also, they are just as real as the KND themselves, but only a certain Asian girl would know. The Hamsters: The KND wouldn't, and couldn't sustain themselves with the power from the hamsters! They provide energy (like electricity) and can help with moving big things.moreless

    9.5
    This Cartoonetwork is In my top 10 best because All the action Like I said in my other cartoonetwork show reviews I love Action Packed Cartoons and this is about kids This was a close second from not being interestiing for me Because if they gunz and weapons they used in this show were high tech it would be less realistic to me because how can some kids gets some stuff like that but they didnt they made there own weapons with things more in a childs grip and I really loved and it's really shows like these that cartoonetwork can't produce anymore Thank You Tom Warburtonmoreless
  • A.W.E.S.O.M.E (A Wonderful Enjoyable Series Of Memorable Episodes)

    8.5
    This Series was no doubt a childhood Favorite of mine and even as a Young Adult I still love this Show! My Favorite Character has got to be Number 1, cause he is so Determined and Hardworking, even if he has a Temper and rushes his Team, he still cares about them and that is what I like about him. I also like #2, #4 and #5, but #3 I really don't like, cause I think she is annoying and a big Crybaby, and the Villains are Great aswell, such as the common cold, sticky beard, Mr. Boss and the Toiletnator! Toiletnator is so Pathetic yet so Funny! XD

    Now for the Good, the Bad and the Funny:



    The Good:-

    - All of the Machines have their own code names of some computer talking about how it works (You know what I'm talkin about) ;)

    - Each Episode Name has it's own Side scrolling Sentence

    - Each Character has a fair amount of episodes about them (Even #3) -_-

    - The Characters have their own Occupations: (#1- Leader) (#2- Pilot / Mechanic) (#3- Radar / Assistant) (#4- Strong-Willed Fighter) (#5- Second-in-Command)



    The Bad:-

    - The Teens are always so Fucking Evil and Ruthless! (I hate that)

    - Their Boogers are used for Registration and Identification! (That's Gross)

    - The Adults never remembering about their Childhood with the KND (Like #1s Father)



    The Funny:-

    - The Characters seem to have their Eyes always covered: (#1- Sunglasses) (#2- Goggles) (#3- Mostly Closing her Eyes) (#4 Hair Blocking) (#5- Hat Blocking)

    - The Delightful Children from Down the lane are always together; even in the Bathroom, Going to Sleep or just talking all together like they have one mind.

    - Half of the Adults in the show have Goofy Voices.



    Is it recommended for all ages?! Most Diffidently! Is it Memorable?! Yes! Is it Funny?! You'd better Believe it! So Overall, This Show is Great but has it's flaws every now and then!

  • I can't believe I used to love this show.

    4.0
    I remember when the pilot for Codename: Kids Next Door aired when they were letting the fans vote for the next Cartoon Cartoon. When it won I was happy, I was ecstatic, I was...ten. Then a year later the show premiered and it was pretty good at first. But like I said, I was 10 when this show was out. Then I grew up and realized how dumb this show actually is.



    Kids Next Door is just bad. Its not the worst Cartoon Network show ever made, oh god no, but its not that good either. It also may send the kids who watch it the wrong message. For its about a group of kids who wage war against adults and teenagers. The show's characters don't trust adults at all. They think that all adults are evil. Especially Numbur (or Numbuh) 1. He takes what he does too seriously, to the point where he had his whole team kidnap babies from the hospital because he thought they were being trained by the adults to take down the K.N.D. God! talk about stupid. The rest of the characters aren't very cool either, except maybe Numbuh 5. Also, the Delightful Children are creepy as hell. Kids Next Door doesn't have very good plots either. The show almost teaches kids not to trust their parents, or any adult, for that matter.



    Also, the general setting of the whole show is just ridiculous. How are a bunch of 10 year olds able to build a large base on the moon? or build all of the ships and battle vehicles? I know cartoons are supposed to be unrealistic, but there's a difference between being a little unrealistic and being just plain absurd. K.N.D. does get some points for some action, and it can be funny at some times, but apart from that this show isn't good, there's nothing entertaining about Codname: Kids Next Door really.moreless
  • C.L.A.S.S.I.C Creative Lovable And Super Sweet Ingenious Cartoon

    10
    Kids, adults, and teenagers have to deal with a lot in the world. Kids have to deal with school, older siblings, and other things that hinder their fun. Teens deal with younger siblings, and their constant bothering. Adults have to deal with kids, and maintain them. Now imagine a show that took everyone of those, and put them into a TV cartoon, and you have Codename: Kids Next Door. The show is about an organization of kids fighting adult tyranny in the world, and making it a world where kids can rule. What I love so much about this show is how they parody everything a kid, teen, or adult does in their lives. A convenient parking lot has a teen hangout under it, a tree house being a kids headquarters, adults making a kids meal that is literally a kid on a bun, and so on. The show does a wonderful job parodying what everyone of all ages do in their lives or characteristics. Speaking of the characters they are all great. Everyone is given great background stories, and some like Father are shocking. The episodes are very creative, and interesting like the origin of adults, the ice cream lost flavor, and the point. Each episode has a great amount of humor, but it can get a little gross with the boogers, but it's a kids show after all. I was sad that this show ended, but it ended on a high note, and will go down as a classic forever. Kids Next Door is easily of the funniest, and most creative shows to ever air, and is a must see no matter how old you are.moreless
