There are enough hidden messages, sub-plots, and themes in this show that it should be eligible for discussion by scholarly thinkers. Although, that would ruin the show the same way English class ruins great books.
This show, like many cartoons, is not just only for kids but also for adults (if they bother to look past the surface). Many of the things in this show that are usually overlooked all mean something that is much more intelligent than just the basic plot of the show. For example, the title of every show is a popular saying with one of the words replaced with the word "ED". The endless number of media references could not possibly be comprehended by little children.
Another thing that interests me about this show is that the laws of physics are constantly broken with no explanation (not even a science fiction one). I always thought that was interesting.
