I have been watching Jimmy Neutron retrospective videos lately and I noticed they all skip over the episode, Granny Baby or not acknowledge its existence.
I wonder why? I am genuinely curious.
OK, so I feel like I’m going crazy here because I can’t find it anywhere. I’m looking for a particular episode or movie of Jimmy Neutron in which a character, I believe the junk man, is talking about his evil plot/scheme and how if he is able to pull off his plan and get rich from it, then he will finally have enough money to marry his true love, Bufunka, and that will really stick it to his soon to be father-in-law, who has doubted him and thought he was a loser for all these years.
I’ve searched archives of transcripts for Jimmy Neutron episodes and have not had any success. I’ve also looked for lists of scenes involving the junk man, but nothing has turned up. I’m not sure if this is one of those Mandela effect cases, but I remember this from like 20 years ago because I thought Bufunka was such a funny name that I still to this day sometimes use it in my everyday life as a default word for someone who is silly.
In the episode "Sheen’s Brain," he said he would shock Carl every time he got an answer wrong, which he referred to as negative reinforcement.
However, this is not negative reinforcement; it is positive punishment.
Negative reinforcement is when you try to train a behavior by taking away something undesirable.
Positive punishment is when you try to train a behavior by adding something undesirable.
It was nice seeing the kids get along and have fun rather than be at each other's throats. When Jimmy made a sandcastle of his dog, instead of getting mad, Cindy laughed.
Two Nega’s within 2 years?? Both the game and episode special were absolute fire, tho. 🔥🔥
Prior to the release of Planet Sheen, there was some very preliminary work on an Ultralord spinoff series. Sadly the series never went that far.
The last onscreen appearance of Jimmy Neutron characters(not counting Planet Sheen) was a commercial for the 2010 Chrysler Town and Country minivan and was strangely released several years after the series was cancelled. Voice acted by the original cast for Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen, the models are extremely high definition and are the best the characters have ever looked. Sheens model looks much better than the one from Planet Sheen as well. It’s a very short commercial but is humorous and gives a look what a Season 4 of Jimmy Neutron might have looked like if it was made in the late 00s instead of Planet Sheen.

I recently got the chance to visit Oklahoma Comic Con and I introduced my robot dog to the real Jimmy Neutron!! This is Goddard (yes really!) He's a Unitree go2 pro robot dog. I take him to conventions and events to educate people about robotics and also to entertain. I named him Goddard after the show because it was one of my favorites, and now we've come full circle!!
What would you think if there was a "Ultralord Animated Series" that would be either an "in-universe" Animated Series that Sheen and others would watch that would be kinda similar to Buzz Lightyear of Starcommand, where it would be the origin of how Ultralord became the hero he is?? While I understand why that probably wouldn't really work, but to me, even when I was younger, I honestly used to think how interesting it would be if there was an origin story to Ultralord too!! That's just what I think, though. :)
The first one was Johnny Quasar!, a 1995 short simply introducing Johnny and his dog Goddard flying on a rocket for less than a minute. His head is much larger than the finished Jimmy Neutron model and afterwards the character was renamed to Jimmy Neutron due to the similarity of the name to Johnny Quest and Captain Quasar.
The second pilot is a more developed 13 minute long one from 1998 called Runaway Rocketboy! which impressed Nickelodeon executives so much that they used the basic premise for the movie. The models look really good for 1998 as well and the character design is mostly the same as the 2001 movie release.
There was also 7 promotional shorts created with the movies rendering engine to promote the movie but were less than 2 minutes each and simple shorts to show on TV as advertisement, not as pilot episodes to pitch to executives. Some of the shorts look similar to Runaway Rocketboy! while later ones are identical to the graphical fidelity of the movie.

? He was a boy genius in the knack for invention a supersonic smile, a cybernetic dog.
I don't know if anyone has ever said this but here's my pitch for an episode or recurring subplot for Jimmy Neutron Season 4.
Jimmy is paired with Cindy
Sheen is paired with Libby
But who does that leave Carl with?
JIMMY'S MOM? No. Judy is an adult who's already married and had given birth to Carl's best friend, Jimmy. Kind of messed up for Carl to go after her.
You know who I think Carl should be shipped with? Betty Quinlan! Jimmy's old school crush!
I just thought it'd make sense for Carl to find love with Betty Quinlan considering his friends get the girls.
I'm curious on how Carl and Betty might play out as an unexpected couple, but what do you guys think?
Or should Carl be with Jimmy's Mom?
i remember loving this show as a kid and i want to make my siblings watch it as well. does anyone know platforms i can watch the show and also the movie?
