Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Canadian-American animated television comedy
series created by Danny Antonucci for Cartoon Network, and the sixth
of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series revolves around three
preteen boys named Ed, Edd (called "Double D" to avoid confusion with
Ed), and Eddyâ€"collectively known as "the Eds"â€"who live in a
suburban cul-de-sac in the fictional town of Peach Creek. Under the
unofficial leadership of Eddy, the trio frequently invent schemes to
make money from their peers to purchase their favourite confection,
jawbreakers. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various, often
humiliating, predicaments.Adult cartoonist Antonucci was dared to
create a children's cartoon; while designing a commercial, he
conceived Ed, Edd n Eddy, designing it to resemble classic cartoons
from the 1940sâ€"1970s. He pitched the series to Cartoon Network and
Nickelodeon, but the latter demanded creative control, leading to him
making a deal with the former and the series premiering on January 4,
1999. During the show's run, several specials and shorts were produced
in addition to the regular television series. The series concluded
with a television film, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, on November
8, 2009.Ed, Edd n Eddy received generally positive reviews from
critics and became one of Cartoon Network's most successful original
series. It won a Reuben Award, two Leo Awards and a SOCAN Award, and
was also nominated for another four Leo Awards, an Annie Award and two
Kids' Choice Awards. The show attracted an audience of 31 million
households, was broadcast in 120 countries, and proved to be popular
among children, teenagers, and adults. With nearly an 11-year run, Ed,
Edd n Eddy is currently the longest-running Cartoon Network original
series. The series also was broadcast on Teletoon in Canada.
