Physics in the show

Physics in the show are bent like when they are in space, There should be an article about that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.36.89 (talk) 23:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Carl's Crush

I added the fact that Carl loves Judy Neutron in Carls bio., along with examples of his affection.

--LoZmaster 2:55 pm, July 5, 2006EST

This crush Carl has on Judy is an effect from the love potion. Note that any mention of his affections are after the episode aired. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.164.202.130 (talk) 14:49, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Cindy's Crush Contradiction

In Cindy's bio, it says that her crush on Timmy is "contradicting his marriage to Tootie in Channel Chasers."
I have removed it for two reasons:
.
1) The ending is ambigous as to whether Timmy married either Tooty or Trixie.
2) It is irrelevant, as she doesn't actually marry him, since Timmy returns to his dimension, while she stays in hers.
--Sonic Mew 11:54, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Whouldn't Timmy forget all about Cindy anyway because he got to Retroville in the first place by his godparents' magic?

I think that it would be the other way around. Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda would remember while everyone else would forget. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.48.11 (talk) 15:27, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Professor Finbarr Calamitous

Thought you guys might like to know, someone created Professor Finbarr Calamitous and i wikified it but i thought someone who watches the show would be better at expanding the article. i have no idea if he's a major villain or not. -- Bubbachuck 06:54, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

images

it looks like most of the main character images are going to expire, so we need new ones.. anyone wanting to upload new ones?

he is... i guess i dont watch the shows much anymore because there are no new ones that play without being announced, and i always miss those! lol (what the heck?! my computer always moves down one topic... nvm, this is supposed to be in the finbarr section) -starwarsnerd

i will... hey it worked this time! -starwarsnerd

New intro

As of the episode, "Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen", they has the new intro, containing clips from more recent episodes. Where does I post that? -- Homfrog

Regarding Cindy and Libby's First Names

"DO NOT CHANGE CINDY'S AND LIBBY'S FIRST AND MIDDLE NAMES ANYMORE! THEY HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED AS CORRECT BY KEITH ALCORN, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ON THE SHOW!!"


I decided to move this notice here, since that's where it belongs (important: I didn't write it).

End of the series?

I'd just like to know on what authority this page has it that the series is ending with the third Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour, and likewise on what authority is Fairly OddParents supposed to be closing shop after that one? Not only do both statements seem extremely sketchy, but I pretty sure FOP has a feature film coming up that will open after JTPH 3. Corbmboile

To be honest, I have no clue as to even where these facts are coming from? Could someone go to TV.com and investigate? I would, but it's a bunch of brats and trolls over there. Pacific Coast Highway|moo! 02:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Nick is not ordering a 4th season of JN and J/T 3 ends JN's 3rd season. It isn't troll info.-Gangsta-Easter-Bunny (talk)-(02:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

On The Fairly Oddparents wiki entry, it states that Butch Hartman, creator of the show, announced on his offical website forum, that both shows would be ending after JT3

Is there a possibility that jimmy neutron will be reprised by a 4th season. --Wikialexdx (talk) 21:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Retroville, Texas?

How can we prove that Retroville is in Texas. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen an episode revealing the state of where Retroville is. The Runescape Junkie 00:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

There was a telephone number on a dumpster (area code: 6xx), and after looking it up in the Verizon White Pages, the listing says Texas. Pacific Coast Highway blah • my tracks 01:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Someone go look at Crime Sheen Investigation. That was the episode. Pacific Coast Highway (blah • I'm a hot toe picker) 21:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Also in some of the scenes of a few episodes, it clearly shows a dotted line coming from Texas. 24.51.33.216 18:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


Plus, some of the town's geogrophy might make sense in Texas. For Instance, Retroville Lake might be a resovoir in East Texas, where there are plenty of Giant lakes like that. I'm a resident of a town close to San Antonio, Texas, and thats just my two cents. 12.145.15.147 16:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Could anyone make a article called Retroville without redirecting it to The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius?


"In many episodes, characters often take off or land in a Jimmy's Hovercar somewhere along U.S.A.'s east or west coast." Texas isn't on either coast, how is this proof FOR Texas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk) 14:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC) in the instructions for nicktoons unite it says on his bio home town retroville texas —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.209.221.92 (talk) 23:32, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Any objections?

As I was reading the article, I noted that there is a list of inventions in the character discription of Jimmy Neutron. I have decided to move all these inventions to a page that will catalog all his inventions. I will be removing that list from the jimmy Neutron character discription(do not remove it yet). I will begin in 48 hours. If anyone has any objections either comment here or my userspace. ArminHammer 18:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup

"In "My Big Fat Spy Wedding" when everyone singing a twonkie is seen dancing to the music, not turning into a monster as they did is "Attack of the Twonkies" "

WHAT?
Twonkies have been in small spots in a few episodes since "Attack of the Twonkies". When Jimmy was a giant orange monster ramaging through the desert, one was watching him run. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.48.11 (talk) 15:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there have been apperances by those small creatures in numerose episodes, all of which are contradictory to the original episode, Attack of the twonkies. TheHaloEnthusiast21 (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

lost episode

I recall flipping channels and catching the end of a JN episode, maybe during a holiday. It featured a creature, maybe 1/2 the size of Jimmy,(although I think, in the plot, that they tried to appear larger) lizard-like with a hored brow, like a hored toad, wearing a jacket/vest, maybe purple. They had arms but instead of legs they had a snake like tail that they slithered on. Except for the audience in "Win Lose Kaboom" I never seen them again. I can't find which episode they are featured. Anyone knows where they appeared? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.164.202.130 (talk) 15:24, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Jimmy Neutron and Arthur Read crossover

What the hell is this?Sonicfan122 (talk) 05:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I think its just vandilism. I mean really WTF. Ilikestuff4 (talk) 03:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

What is Jimmy Neutron's IQ level? Is it 210 or 214?

In one of the episodes that I've watched before (Pardon me cause I couldn't remember which one was it! Oh dear! Such is my poor impulsive short term memory loss! "Sigh!" Can anyone help me to recall back what episode was it? Thanks!), I can still remember that particular scene moderately well (suppose or if I'm not mistaken of what I have hearken of) that I do hear quite carefully by one of the minor characters who was also one of Jimmy Neutron's "minor" nemesis or antagonist played by a woman wearing a black suit while she was conversing to another doctor-like character in which during their conversation when she said or remarked about Jimmy Neutron is a boy with an IQ level of two-hundred-and-ten (210)! Was I right or was I wrong? Because I'm still unsure about it ever since that episode of that Nickolodeon series I've watched it was aired nearly about a few years ago in my country! --onWheeZierPLot 19:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

No production or history section...

This article needs such a section if it wants to meet the standards of an encyclopedia. Abby724 18:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Benny Hill parody

I remember that there was a Benny Hill chase parody in one JN episode. I can't remember which. Does anyone know?

The one with the pizza monster/ sleepover. It was in Jimmy's house. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.68.197 (talk) 19:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

They also did in "Who Framed Jimmy Neutron" is a spoof from the Touchstone Pictures film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilikestuff4 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

second movie

what second movie it says "the search of carl" does anybody have proof that there is a second movie? --74.138.109.51 00:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius 2: The Search for Carl was the very quickly cancelled sequel to The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. It apparently never got past the script stage, and you can find out a lot about it just by searching the web... To answer your question, The Search for Carl doesn't really exist at all, but it almost did. --YellowYoshi398 01:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

TriviaAAAAH!

The Trivia section is out of control! Unless anyone objects, I'm moving it to its own page. -- Noclevername 00:30, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Each trivia bit should integrated into either the main article or into the article of the individual episode to which it pertains. Theoretically, I could do it myself, but I'm too lazy. 151.197.15.175 14:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've made a first pass at it and removed the more obvious speculation and episode-specific trivia. CovenantD 19:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

New TV Movie

I have seen comercials for a new "Jimmy Neutron Event", and it is set to air May 19th, 2007. It is called Genius, Sheenius, or In Betweenius?. I'm not sure that I'm spelling that right, but they've been showing comercials frequently for it. I just saw one this morning.

Disambiguation page?

The search term "Jimmy Neutron" redirects to this article. I think there are a significant amount of people who are looking for the movie version or the character instead of the TV show. I suggest a disambiguation page. Legedevin 01:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

  • If there's no response by Monday, I'll make one myself.
  • Found out that a disambiguation page was already made about a year ago. "Jimmy Neutron" now redirects there. Legedevin 13:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)


A source that could be used: Jerry Beck's Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!

I found a book in the bookstore called Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons! by Jerry Beck. I'm not going to buy it and join the project, but I will ask the other members to get the book so that they can add real world information about various fictional characters.

This makes the creation of separate articles for *many* fictional characters feasible. Having information about the development of the character will make the articles satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (fiction)

WhisperToMe (talk) 21:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

So where are the hard facts

[1] is so much better than this article, but the audience for entertainment article on wikipedia usually does not have my taste, so I do not dare to include it Arnero (talk) 13:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Back In Production ?!?!

It says on the original run that it's back in production. How's that possible? It's cancelled right?--209.244.42.205 (talk) 18:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Texas?

If I remember correctly, Carl has a Lama fan club card on which "Retroville, CA" is written, shown in the episode "Carl Wheezer, Boy Genius". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.179.60 (talk) 20:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Do the Texas headings belong?

Are they that important? Can they at least be merged into one section?Ehccheehcche (talk) 21:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Plot section

Since the plot section is empty and has a link to the character page, I am going to make a seperate section for characters and create a plot summary. If you can, please help me make it up to standards, since I am new and have only done minor edits. Also, if a plot summary is found in the history, we can use that. - Sm1ttenzd 20:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, the last sypnosis/summary was deleted over a year ago, and it did not give enough information about the series, so I'll try and make one that describes the characters, usual episode format, and premise/overall theme. I would like to do this because most other Nicktoons have summaries and I think this article needs one (the whole article needs to be redone but that can be done later.) - Sm1ttenzd 20:13, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

New Lead section

I noticed the lead section for the show to be quite brief, so I expanded it. Anybody have any feedback they wish to share?

"The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is an American computer animated television series created by John A. Davis. It originally aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons beginning July 20, 2002, and the final episode aired on November 25, 2006. A spin-off of the 2001 film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the show follows a genius 10-year-old from Retroville, James ‘Jimmy’ Isaac Neutron, as he goes on adventures with his friends Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez. Throughout the show, various mishaps and conflicts occur on these adventures, as Jimmy’s various inventions go awry.

Writer and creator John A. Davis penned the character, inspired by his love for science and technology.[1] Originally writing a short-film titled Runaway Rocket Boy, Davis gained attention for the idea of Jimmy Neutron after he submitted the CGI short film to SIGGRAPH, at the time Jimmy was known as Johnny Quasar.[2] The 40-second short received media recognition and was noticed by Steve Odekerk.[1] The Ace Ventura writer and director partnered with the founder of DNA productions to work on the show and bring it to the television screen. The feature film prequel and several shorts were used to draw audience attention to the show and character, as well as expand the network, prior to going on air with the pilot episode in 2002.

Other main characters of the show include Jimmy’s parents Hugh and Judy Neutron, his robotic dog Goddard, and his classmates Cindy Vortex and Libby Folfax. Voices for the main characters were provided by Debi Derryberry (Jimmy), Jeffrey Garcia (Sheen), Rob Paulsen (Carl), Mark DeCarlo (Hugh), Megan Cavanagh (Judy), Frank Welker (Goddard), Carolyn Lawrence (Cindy) and Crystal Scales (Libby).[3]

The series has been the recipient of various nominations such as Kid’s Choice “Favorite Cartoon” in 2006 and 2007, and has won an Annie award for “outstanding achievement in animated television production produced for children” as well as a Motion Picture Sound Editors “Golden Reel award”.[4] The show ended in 2006, but audiences have petitioned to have the show continued. A spin-off from the show was produced known as “Planet Sheen”."

Leads are meant to be brief. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:21, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
My first comment is that IMDb cannot be used as a "source" as per WP:RS/IMDb and WP:Citing IMDb. Second, I will ping Geraldo Perez to this discussion, as I believe he watches this page, and may have an opinion... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Lead sections are meant to be a summary of the major information that is in the rest of the article, length dependent on what is in the rest of the article. It is a judgment call as to what is important enough to put in the lead. Other than cases where the lead is the entire article, almost everything in the lead should be expanded upon in the body and content referenced there. The above proposal should be pruned in the lead and expanded upon in the body of the article. IMDb cannot be used as a reference but other sources exist for most of the info. It is a good attempt to improve the article but more work needs to go in the body as well. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:15, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
As per the link you provided, use of iMDB for cast and awards POST-production of a feature or show is under dispute. It has not been deemed appropriate or inappropriate. As for the material discussed, if the lead section is compared to other notable and featured articles such as those for Spongebob Squarepants or The Simpsons, the lead sections hold similar details and have been well received by the wikipedia community. If one looks at the information mentioned, it is quite brief. An individual with little time to research material or look up information should be able to observe the lead section and get all the information he needs for an elementary understanding of the material. The elements in the article can still be further expanded.

-Sahmed06 (talk) 17:18, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

There is a lot of misinformation in the cast sections of IMDb after release, I've personally found and reported errors, IMDb does little checking. IMDb is usable as a convenience, but the ultimate source of credit info is the film or show itself, not IMDb. Awards info references should be sourced to the awards sites, again IMDb info is dubious reliability. The dispute about IMDb as a source is recurring and unless there develops a firm consensus that IMDb is ok it is not a reliable source for this type of info so don't use it. As before, the proposed lead is excessive and most of the detail belongs in the article body with a summary in the lead. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:12, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
A typical lead should look like this: Young Sheldon is an American comedy television series created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro that premiered on CBS on September 25, 2017. The series stars Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, and Annie Potts. The series is also narrated by Jim Parsons. For animation, you'd replace "stars" with "features the voices of." That's a brief summary that gets a lot of the information across per WP:TVLEAD without overdoing it. Then in the body you'd go into more detail, such as explaining what kind of character Iain Armitage's character Sheldon is, for example. Amaury (talk | contribs) 19:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)


With the necessary condensing and use of proper sources, does this lead section better fit the requirements:

Looks generally OK to me. Drop ", but audiences have petitioned to have the show continued" unless independent reliable sources have reported on that, that looks too fanish. Also be aware of quote marks MOS:QUOTEMARK. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
