Production

It happened around Late 2002 when John Edgar Hover announces a TV Show about a boy's life at School/Home. It was created due to the idea of his two sons that were bored. Until Mid to Late 2004, a pilot was made for the show called Ekene's Life and aired on September 23, 2005, as apart of the Nick Extra Segments. Later on, in 2005, they decided to rename it "Ekene's Middle School Madness." So May co-produced with Studio B, Nelvana, and Nickelodeon Animation Studios with association with YTV and CBC. Season 1 was completed in Mid June 2006, Season 2 was completed in Spring 2007, and Season 3 was completed in April 2008 with copyrights of 2008 and 2009 in some episodes.
