Making a separate thread because I fondly remember watching this show and the movie

Summary?Boy genius,makes inventions,also he has a robot dog

I love both the movie and the show. When I started Nickelodeon Movie Month back in 2019, I did a review for the movie of course. I might post it later.

Nominated in the first ever Best Animated Feature category back in 2002 along with Monsters Inc. Winner was Shrek that year though.

How the heck did Macspanky's get passed standards and practises?

I'm serious,this show also had Jimmy's dad rewind time on a pregnant woman!

Rewatching this show as an adult makes you realize how freaking insane it was. There was another episode where it was revealed the entire show was dreamed up by a talking family of pizzas.

Maybe the show was popular enough that the writers were able to get away with it? You look at half the stuff SpongeBob got away with…

The marketing for the movie was clever: showing all these shorts that while not featured in the movie definitely helped introduce you to both the characters and the world beforehand, especially the Calling All Aliens ones that acted as a direct lead-in to the movie.

I remember those shorts being played on YTV between shows and one of the shows it played between, funny enough, was Dexter's Laboratory.

(Gotta love Canada, where both a Nick and Cartoon Network show could be on the same channel, although most CN shows were aired on Teletoon with the exception of Dexter's Lab, PPG, and Samurai Jack. And Home Movies if we count Adult Swim)

ETA: I just remembered Home Movies WAS on Teletoon after YTV stopped airing it.

I definately think some the episodes were deliberate piss takes seeing how far they could take the concept for the episode before someone noticed

Yeah, there were a shitton of episodes that were just utterly bonkers.

The writing was fairly clever though. I remember one episode where Sheen kept asking Jimmy things like "Why don't we need space helmets when we're in space?" and Jimmy gives an explanation, only for it to cut to Carl singing, so we don't actually hear it.

I forgot how long the series lasted, then Planet Sheen killed it off.

Be great to see a revival sometime. I gotta rewatch the Attack of the Twonkies? one again sometime. Gonna obviously gonna review it someday since it's one of the TV movies or specials (as in it's at least 40 minutes without commercials, which is the minimum for feature length).

I genuinely had no idea it existed but Sheen killing off Jimmy's show is typical of Sheen

Man, this show. It's a lot of fun, and way more clever imo than the show it's often pitted against to this day.

Another thing that holds up surprisingly well I find was the animation. Sure, the model and texture work is kind of primitive, but the actual animation itself is so lively and expressive. Not bad for a studio that would apparently have frequent power outages.

[up]That show eventually overstayed its welcome. This show didn't. This show knew when to stop and leave the fans wanting more (speaking of which, the finale is something I still gotta see at some point soon too).

I do hope that if the show gets revived, it wouldn't get sanitized. A lot of the setups in Jimmy is WAAAAY OUT THERE. Like the Kyle gets pregnant episode.

Also the low-quality graphics kinda help in on the absurdity.

[up][up] Honestly, I still think Jimmy Neutron is the better show even if you pretend the second half of FOP doesn't exist.

[up][up][up]Jimmy Neutron didn't end by choice FYI. They had plans for a season 4 had DNA Productions not shut down from the failure of The Ant Bully.

I still can't believe Ant Bully was related to it. Wonder why Nick didn't "support" DNA? Or was Planet Sheen the result of that?

Its because Jimmy's franchise is not the Spongebob franchise

That and I guess Nick has no more "hook" to Universal

WB was the one who released Ant Bully and Universal. Speaking of which, that was DNA?

Never saw Planet Sheen. Want to get into it, but heard it was really bad though.

I was rewatching certain episodes recently and there's so much to appreciate about Jimmy for President and how it deals with the underhanded tactics in political races (Libby condoning Cindy's bribery; Sheen committing extortion; Jimmy using emotional blackmail as well as running an extremely flashy and overly extravagant campaign to draw people in—and with all that, Bolbi being the humble outlier winning by default haha).
