History YMMV / TheCompletelyMentalMisadventuresOfEdGrimley

* UncannyValley: Seeing as he was drawn to look like [[InkSuitActor an actual person]], Ed sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the more exaggerated character designs.

* VindicatedByReruns: Most people who have seen the show remember it more when Cartoon Network and Boomerang aired it in the 1990s rather than as a first-run show on NBC in the late 1980s.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Seeing as the show was already trying to capitalize on the popularity of Pee-wee Herman, it's no surprised that the theme song sounds a lot like the music from the breakfast machine scene in ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure''.

** From a nerdier perspective, Hanna-Barbara and half the cast of ''{{SCTV}}''.

* SoOkayItsAverage: It's not as lively as the ''SCTV'' or ''SNL'' sketches, but it definitely has it's moments.

** From a nerdier perspective, the legends of ''SCTV'' voicing alongside legends of Hanna Barbera marks for a fun combination.

* SoOkayItsAverage: It's not as lively as the ''SCTV'' or ''SNL'' sketches, and it definitely would have fared better as a cartoon for adults rather than a kids' show, but there are some episodes in its short run that are worth it for either nostalgia or laughs.

* BizarroEpisode: While all of them have their moments of being weird, the weirdest episode of the show is "Driver Ed," in which Grimley teaches Miss Malone how to drive and the duo drive into a tunnel as a train is coming down the tracks. They come out of the tunnel, seemingly okay...until they discover that they didn't survive the crash and now they're ghosts. For the rest of the episode, they haunt Mr. Freebus to the point that he gets sent to a mental hospital and keep haunting him there...until [[AllJustADream Mr. Freebus wakes up and realizes that it was a nightmare]].

** From a nerdier perspective just legends of SCTV voicing alongside legends of Hanna Barbera marks for a fun combination.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The MusicalEpisode "Good Neighbor Ed" features a very brief and completely irrelevant song by Miss Malone about how she's apparently one of the few actresses who can also swim.
