Die gruseligen Abenteuer von Billy und Mandy

I would say I am near obsessed with Billy and Mandy. This show is one of two, maybe three cartoons I ever turn straight to if it is on Cartoon Network at the time. I think the main reason I like it is because of Mandy; she makes Billy look like an even bigger idiot than he is, and makes the Grim Reaper look mediocre. She is smart, able to figure things out well, and her lines are especially funny due to her terse, deadpan attitude.

Grey DeLisle has got the best voice talents of anybody I've ever heard. She does such an outstanding job as Mandy, yet as Frankie Foster on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, she sounds like a different person; it's amazing. The other actors do well also, and they do a much better job than those on some Anime cartoons currently playing.

One thing I wish they would cut out, though, is a good portion of crude humor. I'm sure 90 percent of cartoons today have crudeness that should be omitted. However, it is a small price to pay for the joy of watching such an original cartoon that is by no means generic. Every episode is completely distinct, unlike some cartoons whose episodes all follow two or three plots in an entire series.

Grim adventures is one of my all time favourite cartoons. The plot is basically 2 kids, a dim witted boy named Billy and his creepy, scary friend? named Mandy who trick the Grim reaper himself to spend eternity playing with them. They get up to insane and hilarious antics featuring dangerous creatures and items from the underworld. There are many entertaining characters featuring the nerd and Billy's best friend Irwin, Billy's idiot father and his strange mother, Mindy the spoiled rival to Mandy, the former villain general Starr, supposed son of billy Jeff the spider and exterminator Hoss Delgado. Oh yeah lets not forget the creepy scene after the intro consisting of Mandy saying something threatening. It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.

I love this TV show. Its dark theme is such a nice alternative from all the other cartoons on Cartoon Network. The series follows Billy and Mandy as they torment the Grim Reaper after coming to 'own' him after he attempted to take away Billy's pet hamster.

The idea of taking something as harrowing as death itself and turning it into a kids cartoon is a really good one and works extremely well. The fact that this show could so easily have been chilling really benefits it. If the theme was taken the other way and told darker this show would make a great film.

The character of Mandy in particular is so refreshing. In comparison to Billy who is basically an identikit of every single other cartoon character on the channel; stupid, clumsy etc, Mandy is a sinister little girl and so entertaining to watch. She is the perfect match for the Grim Reaper. You can always can count on her to do one horribly twisted little thing each episode is hysterical.

I strongly recommend this cartoon, if only to see the deadpan little Mandy. Shes so evil.

weird. but it is, in a good kind of way. I watched it and it is really funny, both parts of the show are really funny. I kind of like it better than the Powerpuff Girls. I hope the show becomes more popular 'cause it is one of the best new cartoons. I have to admit that there is some gross stuff like the bear's butt. That is mostly why its so funny. Don't listen to some people who say it sucks because it dosn't. There is no cheesy animation it has a clever plot. Those few people just don't have a really good sense of humor. So if you've never watched it before, WATCH IT!! If you like to laugh this cartoon show is for you.

Grim and Evil, aka The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, has been the show on Cartoon Network that's a kiddie version of any horror content, but managed to succeed on that. Yeah, maybe some like Irwin's obsession with Mandy that can be repetitive can keep this from being the best series Cartoon Network has produced. But at least the show has gotten to present its nature. Having a cartoon spooky series about supernatural creatures and when they enter the modern society. Which would make the premise work about how Grim was forced to become Billy and Mandy's servant. The animation is greatly crafted presenting the supernatural worlds we would see in the show. And a lot of characters are hilarious, especially with Billy's dumb shenanigans. Normally for this series, it would be for the kids to show what supernatural would look like. But I mostly recommend this for people that are like me and are nostalgic for this and are true Cartoon Network fans that miss the old days. I know this is a cartoon show, but at least the show could've lasted a little longer. I do understand how the show was cancelled due to Maxwell Atoms' contract from Cartoon Network has expired. But as someone that has grew up with Cartoon Network from the 2000s, this series has brought the memories for good laughs.
