''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' is a Canadian-American animated comedy television series created by Danny Antonucci for Cartoon Network, and the sixth of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series revolves around three preteen boys: Ed, Edd "Double D", and Eddy, collectively known as "the Eds", 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 favorite confectionery, 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 1940s–70s. 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 TV movie, ''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 a 10-year run, ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' remains the longest-running Cartoon Network original series and Canadian-made animated series to date, and is also one of the longest-running United States animated series. ==Premise== ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' follows the lives of "the Eds", three preteen boys who all share variations of the name Ed, but differ greatly in their personalities: Ed (voiced by Matt Hill) is the strong, dimwitted workhorse of the group; Edd (Samuel Vincent), better known as Double D, is an inventor, neat freak, and the most intelligent of the Eds; and Eddy (Tony Sampson) is a greedy, loudmouthed, ill-tempered con artist, and self-appointed leader of the Eds. The three devise plans to scam the cul-de-sac kids out of their money, which they want to use to buy jawbreakers. However, problems often ensue, and the Eds' schemes usually end in failure. The cul-de-sac kids mostly dislike or show indifference toward the Eds: Jonny 2 × 4 (David Paul "Buck" Grove) is a loner whom his peers consider to be a nuisance, and spends most of his time with his imaginary friend, a wooden board named Plank; Jimmy (Keenan Christenson) is a weak, effeminate, and insecure child, who is most often seen spending his time with Sarah (Janyse Jaud), Ed's bossy, spoiled, and short-tempered younger sister; Rolf (Peter Kelamis) is an immigrant, who often participates in odd customs and eats strange food; Kevin (Kathleen Barr) is a cynical and sarcastic jock who hates the Eds, particularly Eddy; Nazz (Tabitha St. Germain; Jenn Forgie; Erin Fitzgerald), usually seen with Kevin, is a stereotypical dumb blonde and an unattainable love interest for the cul-de-sac kids. All of the cul-de-sac kids share a common fear of the Kanker Sisters, Lee (Kathleen Barr), May (Erin Fitzgerald; Jenn Forgie), and Marie (Janyse Jaud), three teenage girls who live in a nearby trailer park and are in love with the Eds. Aside from the Eds, the other cul-de-sac kids, and the Kanker Sisters, no other characters appeared in the series until the fifth season, when the silhouettes of other people were occasionally shown, and in one episode the arms of Eddy's father and Ed's mother were seen. In the series finale, ''Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show'', Eddy's adult brother (Terry Klassen) was seen for the first time, making him the only non-main character, and the only adult character to ever fully appear on the show. The series takes place mostly within the fictional town of Peach Creek, and new locations were rarely introduced. The first four seasons of the show are set during a perpetual summer vacation, though from the fifth season onwards, the characters are shown attending junior high school in the fall and winter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ed, Edd n Eddy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
