** He could, but Jimmy mentioned that the ice crystals only come in some years, and he wanted to seize the chance when he had it.

Add Clash of Cousins possible explanation.

Added DiffLines:

** It wouldn't be the first time Jimmy overlooked a seemingly non-obvious individual for something like this. In "Crime Sheen Investigation", he immediately discounts the squirrels as being the culprits who stole Sheen's Ultra Lord action figure, even though they ended up being responsible.

Add headscratcher from "A Beautiful Mine".

Added DiffLines:

* Why are Jimmy and the gang so crestfallen at the end of "A Beautiful Mine"? Couldn't Jimmy just build a new ship so they could go back and continue mining the asteroid? Presumably, they hadn't mined the entire thing yet. It doesn't even seem to be that they're afraid, either; they seem genuinely distraught that their only attempt has been ruined.

** He didn't finish their relationship. That's why they kept arguing in Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion.

Added DiffLines:

** In "The Big Pinch" Jimmy says it's the 21st century, so the show likely takes place around the time it aired. Retroville just has a very fitting name, which could account for the 80s not having an 80s aesthetic.

* I know I'm not the only one who questions Jimmy's friendship with Carl and Sheen. Particularity in the episodes "The N Men" and "Billion Dollar Boy", they join Cindy and Libby and a few kids when it comes to picking on Jimmy and laughing at him. Sometimes, it makes fans wonder why Jimmy can't just ''dump'' Carl and Sheen as friends.

** Perhaps it was due to the limitations with the software used to animate the show. Keep in mind that back then creating glass in CGI was rather difficult if not pretty expensive, so the animators probably decided to cut corners by only giving characters with smaller glasses lenses and excluding them from characters with bigger glasses.

* Exactly what time period is the show set in? In one episode, Jimmy goes back in time to inspire his father to invest in McSpanky's burger restaurant. He only went back in time 15 years earlier, yet the entire atmosphere suggests it's during the 1970s. This would mean that the show has to take place in the early to mid 90s. If counting the time when the movie came out (01-02), then it would be around 1985. You would expect an 80s aesthetic, not a 70s. Maybe the writers came of age during that era and felt more comfortable doing it? Still pretty weird for a show that's specific enough to be set in Texas.

* How come the characters who wear glasses have ''no lenses'' (such as Carl, Mrs. Fowl, Principal Willoughby, Sam the bartender, and Prof. Calamatous)? How are they able to see out of those? In fact, the only character who seems to have visible lenses his glasses is Hugh. What's with that?

*** Actually, in Beautiful Georgeous' debut episode, Calamitus does tell her that "you're so much like your mother", which confirms he had a wife or at the very least had sex at some point.

*** But then why would Calamitous mention her resemblance to her mother if he didn't know his daughter's biological mother?

* In “Vanishing Act”, how does the whole head and body separation thing work? How do the bodies even possess the mental capacity to look for their heads without a… mental? Pure instinct? And theoretically, how long could the heads survive without them? Would they ever get hungry without stomachs?
