What You Probably Didn't Know About Ed, Edd n Eddy (1999-2009)




Hello and welcome to another edition of What You Probably Didn't Know About. And this time I want to do something different with this segment. Usually this is about movies but last year I used a celebrity that being famous author Stephen King and people really liked it. So instead of a movie or celebrity why not a TV show. And not just any show a cartoon that I grew up with during my childhood. So let me tell you things you probably didn't know about Ed, Edd n Eddy.

1. The trademark in the show is all of the characters have different color tongues. This is actually based on an experience the show's creator Danny Antonucci once hard. During a meeting his son and his friends came in and because of all the candy that ate each one of them had different colored tongues.

2. Ed, Edd n Eddy has no set timeline. Danny Antonucci wanted the show to appeal to any generation. So if there's ever a computer or VCR it was only needed for a plot.

3. The showed aired on January 4, 1999 and ended on November 8, 2009. Meaning the show lasted 10 years thus making it Cartoon Network's longest running show.

4. Seasons one's production was between 1997-1998 but the first episode didn't air until January 4th, 1999.

5. Voice recording was done by Ocean Productions. If that company sounds familiar that's because their also responsible for voice recording of Dragon Ball Z, Mega Man, Street Sharks, and X-Men: Evolution.

6. The Eds last names are never given throughout the whole show but their middle names are. Ed's is Horace, Edd's is Marion, and Eddy's is Skipper.



11. When a cartoon character's outlines vibrate, this technique is called "Squigglevision" or "boiling lines".

9. The show was the last major cartoon to use hand drawn animation cels. Then when the show was renewed for two more seasons, the studio switched to digital ink-and-paint and compositing.

10. Originally there was going to be a sixth season of the show containing 13 episodes but Danny Antonucci decided to work on the movie instead.

11. To this very day nobody knows what's under Double D's (Edd's) hat. Antonucci teased it for Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show but it was never revealed. One game on Cartoon Network's website showed he had a curly hair underneath but the game's non-cannon so it doesn't count. Also people were in shock and awe when he's hat was removed so that wouldn't make any sense.

12. In the episode "A Twist of Ed" the book Reverse Psychology Manual's author is Dr. Kent Webb. The author's name is the same name of the show's storyboard artist.

13. Every single episode title has the name Ed in it. Such Keeping Up with the Eds, Oath to an Ed,  Dear Ed, Urban Ed, Ed in a Halfshell, and For Your Ed Only just to name a few.

14. Many residents who live in the Cul-de-Sac were inspired by people Danny Antonucci grew up with. Such as The Kanker Sisters were based on girls who would harass him.

15. Johnny was originality suppose to carry around a blanket, but they changed it to Plank. The change was made so he wouldn't be similar to the Peanuts character Linus van Pelt.

16. Danny Antonucci pitched Ed, Edd n Eddy to Nickelodeon but he was denied the right to have full control of the show. Then he took it to Cartoon Network then they bought it and Danny was given full control over the series.

17. Besides The Kanker Sisters, Rolf and Nazz are the only characters to have their last names revealed. Rolf's is Vorlick and Nazz's is Van Bartonschmeer.

18. The whole reason the show was ever made was because Danny Antonucci was dared to. He was mostly know for his highly-disturbing adult animated shorts, but was dared to create a show that kids could watch.



So that's going to do it for this edition of What You Probably Didn't Know About. I'll as always do another one of these but it won't come until June 7th and that one will return us to movies. What film will it be...you'll just have to wait and find out.
