According to the interview with Antonucci (a special feature of the Season 1 DVD set), the characters were based on people in his life. The personalities of Ed, Edd, and Eddy are based on personal traits of himself, and their activities on his two sons. The cul-de-sac kids were based on people he grew up with. Antonucci also stated that he believed it was important to add Plank to the show, stating that he "thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own" and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.[1] He also stated that Rolf is strongly based on himself and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living compared to those born in Canada.[2] In a podcast Cartoon Network interview, Antonucci also hinted the Kanker sisters being based on someone from his personal life, as well.

Video games
There has been three video games based on Ed, Edd n Eddy. Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers! was released on September 15, 2002[3] for the Game Boy Advance, Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures was released in 2005 for Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Playstation 2, the Game Boy Advance and the PC, and most recently Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century for Nintendo DS on October 26 2007. Additionally, characters and locations from the show make appearances in Cartoon Network based video games. The Cul-de-sac is featured in the game Cartoon Network: Block Party, where Eddy and Sarah are playable characters. The Eds and Jonny appeared in Cartoon Network Speedway as playable characters.
Scam of the Century is in the action category, and was developed by the lesser-known gaming company of D3 Publisher.[4] The original storyline is developed around Eddy losing his precious “Who to Scam and When” book. When the three friends realize their classmate Kevin has the book in his hands and an angry mob of kids has developed, they run for the woods. Splitting up to throw off the crowd, they plan to meet up back at the cul-de-sac. Several adventures in the game await them. When they make their way back at the cul-de-sac, they find that Rolf has built a giant fort to keep them out. The game features 13 total stages, special attacks using the touch screen, the option to blow into the microphone to bring characters back to life, three side story mini-games and special items.
The upcoming Cartoon Network MMOG FusionFall, has all three Eds have been confirmed as NPCs. Their artwork for the game is viewable on the game's main website. Their appearance as Nanos -- items that help the user or his/her party -- (besides Eddy's) has yet to be confirmed. [5]

Critical reaction
The reaction to Ed, Edd n Eddy is varied. Terrence Briggs of Animation World Magazine argued that every second of the show is "filler" and that the main characters are drawn as "products from the school of acid-trip caricature."[6] After the review was published, support letters of the show started to pile up at Animation World Magazine's website. This made the magazine write a more positive review of Ed, Edd n Eddy, calling it a "fresh show with very different approaches."[7]
Other works
There have been other produced works in which the Eds would appear than just their regular series airings. They have appeared in a Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends episode using Foster's styled animation, and made a short cameo in The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door. Also, they appeared in a small crossover entitled Ed, Edd n Mandy.
Shorts
Cartoon Network has also produced shorts, some involving the Eds during commercial breaks. For a short while, Cartoon Network made a series of roughly 2-minute shorts called Ed, Edd, y Eduardo in which Eduardo from Foster's appeared in an Ed, Edd n Eddy episode. These shorts began airing on July 11, 2006 on Cartoon Network. There was also a short video with stylized versions of Ed, Edd, Eddy and Sarah, entitled "The Incredible Shrinking Day", which aired on Cartoon Network in 2002 and 2003, in which Sarah used a potion to shrink the Eds to a size capable of playing in her dollhouse, with predictable results. Plank starred in a similar video "My Best Friend Plank" which aired in 2002.
Special events
There have been many specials in which Cartoon Network would run all day marathons for either a promotion or just a special airing for one of their shows. A marathon called Best Day Edder aired on April 27 and April 28, 2007. Every episode was shown in chronological order, ending with the previously unaired last episode of Season 5.
A special episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy aired on May 11, 2007 in the Cartoon Network event, Cartoon Network Invaded, in which aliens invade Rolf's house. This alien invasion is in adjunct with other Cartoon Network series, such as Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Camp Lazlo, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.[8] The episode is part a mini-series that aired all 5 specials on May 28, 2007.
The Future
A.K.A. Cartoon conducted a panel on July 26, 2007 at San Diego Comic-Con and provided the following information about the future of the series: There will not be a full sixth season of the series at this time since the crew chose to put their time into making a movie instead; the movie is tentatively titled Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show and the plot will focus on the Eds searching for Eddy's brother.[9]
