Jimmy Neutron is the smartest kid in town. As a genius, Jimmy thinks most things can be solved with the invention of a new gizmo. But Jimmy usually takes the easy way out, and his backfiring gadgets result in comedic adventures.
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius recap
The series follows the film: Jimmy Neutron, a boy genius in Retroville, invents something new nearly every episode, and the invention usually causes disaster that he has to fix by the end. His best friends are the nervous, allergy-prone Carl and the hyperactive Sheen, who worships the action figure Ultra Lord. Cindy Vortex, his rival, constantly argues with him, and their sparring slowly turns into a crush that both deny; her friend Libby completes the group. Goddard, his robot dog, rescues him again and again. Recurring villains include Professor Calamitous, a scientist who never finishes anything, and King Goobot and the Yolkians from the film. The show runs three seasons, from 2002 to 2006, and includes three crossover specials with The Fairly OddParents, the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour films, in which Jimmy and Timmy Turner trade worlds.

Sheen gets his own spin-off, Planet Sheen (2010 to 2013), in which he is stranded on an alien planet, but Jimmy's story is not continued.
