A deal was made with the network to commission the series under his control, and it premiered on January 4, 1999. He then pitched the series to Cartoon Network. When pitching the series to Nickelodeon, the network declined to give him creative control, a deal to which Antonucci did not agree. Īdult 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 1940s–1970s. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various, often humiliating and painful, predicaments.
Under the unofficial leadership of Eddy, the trio frequently invents schemes to make money from their peers to purchase their favorite confection, jawbreakers. They live in a suburban cul-de-sac in the fictional town of Peach Creek along with fellow neighborhood children Kevin, Nazz, Sarah, Jimmy, Rolf, Jonny, and the Eds' female adversaries, the Kanker Sisters, Lee, Marie, and May. The series revolves around three friends named Ed, Edd (called 'Double D' to avoid confusion with Ed), and Eddy-collectively known as 'the Eds'-who are voiced by Matt Hill, Sam Vincent, and Tony Sampson respectively.
Ed, Edd n Eddy is an animated television series created by Danny Antonucci for Cartoon Network.
