Trivia:

The Kids Next Door were originally meant to be the neighbors (hence their name) of Kenny and Chimpy, who appear in "Diseasy Does It", Tom Warburton's What a Cartoon Show short. While Kenny and Chimpy did not become a series, the Kids Next Door did and retained their name. A character from the original show "Professor XXXL" (Triple-Extra Large) was made a villain of the newer series.

Kids Next Door

A excellent cartoon for kids and adults

While sometimes derivative, the Codename:Kids Next Door is a animated series that everyone can enjoy. The kids in sector V battle adult tyranny, go to school and enjoy life in their tree house. It seems that after the age of 13, they must undergo a decommissioning so that they can no longer work for the organization. This is a source of angst for the team as they love the KND and going on missions together. But in the meantime they do their best although sector V is not the top team, their hearts are always in the right place and adults are usually vanquished. I just wish this cartoon was available for purchase. I'm 50 and a huge fan. Hope they fight on for years.
