Ed, Edd n Eddy
is an
animated television series
created by
Danny Antonucci
and produced by Canada-based
a.k.a. Cartoon
. It premiered on
Cartoon Network
on January 4, 1999, and ended on November 8, 2009 with the premiere of the series' TV movie finale,
Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show
. Designed to resemble classic cartoons from the 1940s to the 1970s, the series revolves around three adolescent boys known as "the Eds", who constantly invent schemes to make money from their peers to purchase
jawbreakers
. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. Before signing a contract with Cartoon Network, Antonucci approached
Nickelodeon
, but the channel demanded creative control of the show, which Antonucci did not agree to. Several specials, shorts, and video games either based on the series or featuring the series' characters have been produced. Viewed from 31 million households in 29 countries by both children and adults,
Ed, Edd n Eddy
received positive reviews and several awards and nominations. It remains the longest-running
original Cartoon Network series
and Canadian-made animated series to date. (
