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. |

Production
Before production of the series started to begin, the series was planned as a special for Nickelodeon (both U.S. and internationally). Development of the film began in late 1999, when John May, known for creating the franchise in 1994, decided to come up with a special for major TV networks. One of the first attempts of making this was Ekene's Family. Ekene's Family the film began production by late 2001 and concluded in August 2002. Nelvana was hired (along with AKOM) to animate the special for Nickelodeon Animation Studio. The special was supposed to be broadcasted on November 2003 and it did. After the premiere, May was anixious about how it would turn out. When the film was shown for about 2 or 3 times, it started to get controversies from furious parents. Beginning in early 2005, while production green-lighted, there were complaints from parents that describe the series as way too stereotypical towards people of color. As a result, May apologizes to the parents and Nickelodeon banned the special on Television (though it exists on May's website), and gave him a second chance to start over again. However, before the special was banned the developers wanted to put Ekene in a Middle School setting, as a family would be just boring for a animated series.
