Edward and Eric/Shorts

Edward and Eric's shorts are a series of animated shorts that aired during commercial breaks on Kids' WB throughout 1996 to 1997 as a way to persuade Warner Bros. to pick up the series, shortly after Gary Sauls had already pitched The Eddy Beginning to the company. They aired again throughout 2000 before stopping in 2001, although once the show debuted on Boomerang in 2005, the shorts occasionally aired there during intermissions until 2008.

Every single short is available on Edward and Eric: The Complete Series' 20th disc.

## Trivia

* Here is a list of differences between the shorts and the actual series:
	+ Edward's favorite food is peanut butter ketchup and tuna sandwiches as opposed to frog legs.
	+ The animation is a lot more rough than Season 1.
	+ Carver's name is Simon.
	+ Lakeside City School is a public school as opposed to a boarding one, resulting in a greater emphasis being placed on the Pearson brothers' home life.
	+ Aside from an appearance in Clinginess is Next to Ed-ness (which itself was produced later than the other shorts), Constantinos is completely absent.
	+ The shorts are produced in the 480i fullscreen format as opposed to each episode being made in the 1080p widescreen format.
