History Series / OneHundredDeedsForEddieMcdowd

''100 Deeds For Eddie [=McDowd=]'' is a show on {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} in the late [[TheNineties '90s]] and early '00s. The title character was a bully, [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a dog]] after messing with the wrong hobo, with the condition that he would only change back if he did 100 good deeds. Aside from the man who put the curse on Eddie, the only person that can hear the dog Eddie talk is Justin Taylor, the last kid that Eddie bullied as a human. HilarityEnsues.

* InstantSedation: Averted in "Dog Day Out." Eddie gets an oral sedative at the vet that takes an hour to kick in -- plenty of time to milk drugged up shenanigans to ensue.

* DespairEventHorizon: In one episode, Eddie nearly kills himself to save Justin, and gets one deed. He enters a despair event horizon because of this, and decides to give up on good deeds and stay a dog. It’s so bad that the normally snarky Drifter actually pleads with Eddie to not give up. It takes him nearly killing himself again to save Justin again, to realize he still has a chance.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Eddie humiliates Justin by spilling paint on him and hanging him on a flagpole all because he accidently spilled milk on him.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The man who cursed Eddie is known only as "The Drifter" - a possible shoutout to Creator/RobertAHeinlein's "AllYouZombies", perhaps?

* GranolaGirl: Sariffa Chung.

* LongBusTrip: Morgan Kibby, who becomes a foreign exchange student in London.

* PoorCommunicationKills: In a two-part episode, the Taylors call the host family where Gwen is in the UK. Tori answers the phone and mistakes "Taylor" for "Tailor", who she was mad at for botching up an order so she threatens to send the other dress back in pieces - the Taylors assume they're talking about ''Gwen''. Well, long story short, it drives one of the plots for the episode.
* SassyBlackWoman: Zig-zagged with Tori.

** The Drifter also does this to other kids too; one episode has a dog who is undergoing a similar trial ''just like Eddie'', and the only person who can hear her speak is the last person whose car she destroyed. (She "Pooled" them.) One can only imagine how many dogs are actually transformed teens.

* TheFaceless: Eddie is this before becoming a dog.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Drifter is trying to to teach Eddie to stop being a JerkAss (Eddie nearly crossed the MoralEventHorizon when they crossed paths), but does he really have to be a dick about it?
** It probably wasn't a good idea to erase his entire family off the face of the Earth (seriously).
