Best Ed

Best Ed is a Canadian animated television series created by Rick Marshall and developed by J.D. Smith. The show chronicles the adventures of an excessively helpful and enthusiastic dog named Ed who everyone adores, and his best friend, Doug the squirrel, whom everyone calls "Buddy" but nobody likes. They live in their fictional hometown of Swellville. Best Ed was produced by 9 Story Entertainment and was animated in flash.

The fifth episode ("Nightmare on Sweet Street/Cat Fright!") premiered on October 3, 2008, on Teletoon as a sneak preview. Subsequent episodes were shown beginning October 5, 2009. The series ended on October 22, 2009. 26 episodes were produced.

The show follows two anthropomorphic animals, Ed, a cheerful, extroverted and idealistic but none-too-bright yellow dog, and his polar opposite Buddy, a somewhat pessimistic but intelligent, introverted and realistic orange squirrel. Their adventures and sometimes misadventures usually cause them to interact with other characters. Whereas Ed is well-liked by all, and extremely lucky, Buddy is furiously despised, and extremely unfortunate, gratuitously so. Despite their differences in both personality and lot in life, Ed and Buddy consider themselves best friends and have many adventures, and misadventures, in their town of Swellville (a play on Snellville), Canada, frequently confined (but not exclusively) to their suburban 333 Sweet Street.

Note: Every episode from "Rub My Ed for Luck" to "A Pox on Thee Now" was produced in 2008, yet aired in 2009 (with the exceptions of "Nightmare on Sweet Street" and "Cat Fright!").

In 2006, a pilot for Best Ed entitled "Fat Chance" was produced. It is currently lost media.

In Canada, the show first aired on Teletoon, with the final episode airing on October 22, 2009. It formerly aired reruns on Toon-A-Vision.

In foreign countries, the show was also aired on Boomerang and Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom, and ABC Me in Australia.

As of 2022, the show is now streaming on Tubi and The Roku Channel (though the former is region-locked to the United States).
