Me too, although the pairing itself is okay, I don't really think the Eds are ERB material enough. It was popular for a 90s cartoon, but 90s cartoons dont have anything on how ubiquitous the big 80s cartoons and before were. Nobody's forgotten about the likes of He-Man, MLP, Strawberry Shortcake, things like Scooby Doo, Transformers, and TMNT are even now still huge cash cows. There's a reason those things keep getting rebooted. The Powerpuff Girls and Spongebob are honestly probably closest to reaching that level, but I'd say even they aren't really at that level.

I know sometimes ERB on occasion uses kind of lesser characters if they're funny enough. Napoleon Dynamite probably wouldn't have been done so early w/out the other Napoleon. But I don't think the Eds are good enough to match that sort of thing, especially since NP and EL aren't 90s kids and grew up with a different set of things to be nostalgic for.
