The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius is an American science fiction comedy computer animated television series created by John A. Davis. Based upon the 2001 film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the series features the exploits of the title character as he encounters with his friends. Produced by Nickelodeon’s animation studio in co-occurrence with O Entertainment and Davis‘ Dallas-based DNA Productions, the series aired on Nickelodeon between the dates of July 20, 2002 and November 25, 2006.

Prior to the series debut, a pilot entitled Runaway Rocketboy premiered in 1998. Going further back, Davis initially conceived the character sometime in the 1980s with the moniker of Johnny Quasar, alongside a script he entitled of the same name as the backdoor pilot. Per Nickelodeon’s request, after the establishment of a 40 FPS test animation at a SIGGRAPH expo in 1995, the executives forced Davis to change the character’s name into Jimmy Neutron since the former name sounded slightly indistinguishable to Jonny Quest.

Plot

As the 2001 movie follows, the series revolves around on the 11-year-old title character (voiced by Debi Derryberry) and his robot dog Goddard. Almost every episode, most of his inventions end up operating haywire.

Why It Rocks

1. A very distinctive storyline, as it manages not to come out as a Dexter’s Lab clone, though the premises are eerily identical.
2. Staying in the subject of WIR #1, the gadgets Jimmy invents in every episode are actually incredibly impressive.
3. The computer animation can stand out pretty well even for 2002 standards. 
4. Plenty of likeable characters, including Jimmy, Goddard, Cindy, and Sheen. 
5. Well-arranged and earworm-friendly intro song styled in the genre of surf rock, which perfectly explains the premise.
6. The voice acting of Debi Derryberry, Carolyn Lawrence, Rob Paulsen, Jeffrey Garcia, Frank Welker, and Crystal Scales were on even time. 
7. Still on the above reason, grown-up persons are skilled on voicing the juvenile characters done in the correct fashion rather than actual children voicing said characters. 
8. Creative names for the antagonists such as the aptly named Beautiful Gorgeous being the daughter of the hideous looking Professor Calamitous. 
9. Most episodes have interesting plots including the episode when Jimmy goes deep in the ocean to hunt for treasure which turned out to be saltwater taffy.
10. A chunk of hysterical scenes now and then. Speaking of the whimsical humor, the show is free of gross out humor aside from the scenes of Granny Baby where the titular family relative was de-aged into infancy. 
11. The chemistries between Jimmy's inventions mentioned in WIR #2 always appear as unique in spite of a few which appeared more than once. 
12. The crossover movies with fellow Nickelodeon cartoon The Fairly OddParents exquisitely blended the reversal of the art styles used in both series with Jimmy being inside the 2D universe of Dimmsdale and Timmy inside his 3D universe of Retroville. 
13. To end this off, the series is stuck in faithfulness to the starter film which was also highly lauded. 

Bad Qualities

1. A handful of characters can become hateful jerks including Cindy Vortex. While alternating between spiteful and humane demeanors, she definitely displays most of the former especially in some early episodes. 
2. May become irritating in a couple of points, specifically when it comes to Jimmy's equally obnoxious bellowing of the word "NO!" 
3. Synopses of the episode are very strange such as the time Carl was impregnated by a mother extraterrestrial. 
4. Some characters were used very infrequently here and there. Back to WIR #8 of the aforementioned Professor Calamitous, he was only featured in eight episodics despite being a prominent antagonist. However, side character Brobot made matters worse of only starring in three episodes including his self titled debut. 
5. Although their infamous "Three Eyed Mutant Island Chimpanzee" vanity plate was used in the last two episodes, John A. Davis' Dallas-based studio DNA Productions ceased operations in 2006 after their last project The Ant Bully bombed terribly at the box office with conceptions on a fourth volume slaughtered. To exacerbate this the logo comes after the O Entertainment vanity plate rather than coming in line first. Never mind that its grotesque appearance frightened many. Alongside these, most of the final season episodes were aired out of order placing the true series finale ”The League of Villains” in the middle of the season.  
6. While the character designs look mostly freshly chiseled and adequate a couple of them look extremely nauseating, which includes the Yolkian tribe of aliens.
