Show Summary

  • Ended
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

  • Perhaps this show is more appealing to people who are under the age of thirteen, but I do not enjoy this show whatsoever.

    "Terrible"
    The concept for this show is that there are kids who are fighting adults. These adults are typical, stereotypical views held by kids. In other words, these are adults who are unreasonable with their punishments and such. So, the show encourages that kids do not trust adults and become angry at punishment. Not the best message to be sending. Anyway, both the adults, kids, and other characters are unispired. Their designs and personalities are easily forgetable. The show's animation is realistic, but too much so. It lacks the bizarre effects that make cartoons so interesting (such as Looney Tunes eyes popping out, over-the-top modern art style in Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi, or humoruous facial expressions in Spongebob). It's all quite dull. The plots are deviod of humor (and the jokes that are there are either too cliched or too immature to be funny) and light on action. Overall, this show, while having a cool premise of secret agent children, is not original enough and has very little brains behind it.moreless
  • Ewww! gross! This cartoon is Disgusting and it has got to be the MOST Immature show ever!

    "Bad"
    My remake ONCE AGAIN of my 86t review.

    Ok, I might be a Little bit Grumpy but how can a kid be entertained like this? The Kids thorw Tantrums so they can stay up late and eat junk food, play video games, etc. This cartoon is so spoiled and I don't know what Curious Pictures were thinking when they Produced this god awful series. Some Parts are Disgusting and the Jokes and Not funny at all. I didn't even crack a smile in this cartoon. I'm sorry but I don't what were they thinking. It's about 5 ten-old kids that save the world from lame Super Villains, No kidding right? That's bad but Listen to this! Villains are Really Adults and they just want to take stuff from Kids like Candy, Lunch, Video Games, Toys, etc. The Kids usually stop the adults with a bunch of corny kid weapons. i'm sorry but this cartoon desveres an F. Here the Results:

    Voice-acting: D-- 4.0/10.0 Because of the whiny voices added on the characthers they must have failed on the voice acting.

    Animation: F 3.0/10.0 Horrible Animation with Hideous Bright colors.

    Graphics: B 7.0/10.0 Decent graphics. They are Nice and Smooth.

    Dialouge: F- 2.5/10.0 The characthers mostyl whine their scripts most of the time and this is Not what we are letting our kids watch.

    Sound: B 7.0/10.0 Good Soundtrack.

    Lasting Appeal: F 3.0/10.0 The Lasting Appeal is bad and this cartoon is so boring, Spoiled and the people who made this cartoon most of have Cancelling! Overall: F 3.6/10.0 This cartoon just blows my head off. Let kids watch other cartoons that are good on Nick like: "Spongebob Sqaurepants," "Fairly Oddparents", "Jimmy Neutron", and more. Just don't let them watch this. They will teach kids how to be spoiled brats.moreless

    "Perfect"
    It is an amazing show I don't know why they took it of the air. I'm 16 now and I still love watching the show. And for the *** out there that think it was a bad influence learn to parent. I watched the show and always respected adults. The adults in the show are mostly nice or clueless. The only ones that get hurt are the evil ones. And you can't tell me it's a worse influence than any Disney channel show which is all about doing whatever you want getting away with it and dating, kids don't need to worry about dating. It was actually from a kid's point of view not some show made by adults for what they think kids should act like. And it was complexly original. Unlike any kids show with actors which are all about dating and what guys cutest (which is nothing like real life). Believe it or not this show inspired me to help other as much as possible and to join organizations that do that like 4-H.moreless
  • A very excellent Cartoon Network show!

    "Perfect"
    Codename Kids Next Door was by far, one of the best shows on Cartoon Network. I got really mad when they got rid of it. Along with all their other great cartoons. Like Grim Adventures, PPG, Puffy, Fosters, Camp Lazlo and My Gym Partner's a Monkey. Now, Cartoon Network is being run by alcoholics. This show needs a return, even if it's just repeats.
