This is a very good Jimmy Neutron DVD Collection.
-First, about Jimmy Neutron, in case you don't know. Jimmy is a Boy Genius, a cartoon from Nickelodeon. He invents all kinds of wonderful devices, from a simple Hovercar, to Shrink Rays and Books On Gum (Something Amazon should explore.) Adventures and silliness always follow! Jimmy is often accompanied by his friends, Sheen and Carl, his best buddies; Jimmy's robotic pet dog, Goddard, who can do eleven million and four things; and two girls named Cindy and Libby, who by this time are starting to like Jimmy and Sheen.
-The animation is simply superb; three dimensional computer graphics with astonishing attention to detail, reflections, shadows, mirrors, and moving backgrounds. It's not Pixar, but it sure isn't the Fairly Oddparents either. Better still, every episode is at least funny, and at most fall-on-the-floor hilarious.
-The Collection is very good. Though I know many Neutron fans were disappointed Nick didn't just release the series in its entirety. But some Jimmy is better than no Jimmy. Still, there are no DVD special add-ons at all, which is disappointing. No behind-the-scenes, storyboards, commentary, or anything. Just the shows. It should be noted that the DVDs are formatted DVD-R so they will probably not work on older DVD players.
-But the shows are definitely worth having. Nightmare in Retroville is the famous and little seen Halloween episode. While Grumpy Young Men is the funniest episode Jimmy Neutron has ever done. Almost every line uttered in that show will make you split a gut laughing.

Hugh Neutron (Jimmy's Father): "Hey old timer! I like the way you're wearing your pants! I've been thinking about wearing my pants like that! Maybe growing out my nose hair. Say, you look familiar..."
Jimmy (Now accidentally aged to about 65 years old): "I'm just a weird old man and not your son after screwing up an experiment!"

Disc 1:
Nightmare in Retroville
Sheen's Brain
Materna-tron Knows Best
Send in the Clones
The Great Egg Heist
The Feud
The Retroville 9
Grumpy Young Men

Disc 2:

Nice DVD for the Jimmy fans too.

This series is so funny. My sons love Jimmy Neutron, too bad it got cancelled. It was a great show and is very cute and funny. Bring it back Nickleoden!!

This is a great set. It has my son's favorite episode, the Halloween one. Great set of cartoons with a lot of subtle adult humor as well.

I ordered three seasons of Best of Jimmy Neutron. Not one of the six discs on the three sets is readable. My computer indicates that they are empty of any information. There is no reason to order these, because you get nothing!
