Out of Jimmy's Head

I thought the movie was ok as a kid and I thought the show was interesting but as the show went on it began to get more and more stupid. The show's about a kid named Jimmy (Dominic James) who can see cartoon characters due to having his brain replaced with a deceased cartoonist. In addition to having to deal with the hallucinations he also has to deal with his wacky family and school with the help of his goofy friend named Craig (Jon Kent Ethridge II) and crush Robin (Tinashe Kachingwe). This doesn't sit well with his son Sonny Appleday (Matt Knudsen) who goes through great lengths to get his brain so he can be a cartoonist himself. There's not a lot of funny jokes in this show, the acting's either over-the-top or stiff, and while the ideas are interesting they never really go that far. The only things I liked about this are the cartoon characters and Jimmy's adopted sister Yancy (Rhea Lando) who's an alien. Aside from that this's one of Cartoon Network's worst live-action shows. Live-action's not really their strong point. It didn't last that long and it's not hard to see why. It goes without saying but skip it.

A boy Jimmy gets hit by a train and then for some reason needs a brain transplant. He gets someone's brain and has hallucinations of cartoon characters, who don't actually play an important role in the show. The show's sad attempt at comedy sometimes make me cringe and the laughing track doesn't help. If they're gonna have a laughing track, at least laugh at the rare funny parts, not the corny other jokes.

The characters are unlikeable, Jimmy is like a 5-year-old girl and wouldn't survive in a real middle school, Craig likes to use his best friend to make money, and then Jimmy has an older sister who IS AN ALIEN? WHAT THE HECK? His mom (who is an astronaut) found her. His mom also OWNS A ROCKETSHIP thats his dad likes to fly. He crashes it, but sadly, does not die. Oh yeah, Jimmy's sister's boyfriend is a were-wolf (or just a wolf i forget).

Sonny Appleday, the "evil villain" of the series, is the worst of them all. He announces his plans out loud, ruining them. He wants Jimmy so he can take over the world (is it ever explained how Jimmy will help him take over the world? Nope!) so he tries to steal Jimmy's brain.

So, in the end, this series is Cartoon's Network's worst series. Oh I almost forgot! It's on Cartoon and yet its LIVE ACTION! Seriously, the tag-line was "CARTOON Network's first LIVE ACTION series." WTF? You get my point. -infinity/10

In all honesty, the shows premise was slightly clever. The movie's premise was OK as well. It was based on an old myth that Walt Disney's brain was frozen to one day "reanimate" him and then hidden somewhere in a ride in Disneyland. This show takes that idea and tries to work with it. Making it so that whoever has the brain of the brand-x Walt Disney will see the cartoons he created. That is were the cleverness ends. This show took an interesting idea and murdered it.

The people above me have already dissected how awful the show is, and done a pretty good job of it. I'm just reviewing this just to make sure YOU the reader know that this show is probably the most horrible thing you will see on Cartoon Network.

I gotta say that this was the worst show everyone ever heard of and it was bad very bad and i gotta say the charater designs were really awful during cartoon networks airing of live action crap i mean why do we even agree to cartoon networks plan in the first place.

I thought Big Bag was the ONLY live-action show from Cartoon Network. But no, years later, they decided to make MORE live-action shows. From what I have heard, this show is even WORSE than the movie. I know it was back in 2007, but that was when Cartoon Network TRULY began to suck after the Boston Bomb Scare. No wonder Chowder was the new show that saved Cartoon Network, before AND after a lot of our favorite shows ended. The animation in the movie pilot was better than the animation in the series. The animation in this show is horrible. This makes lesser sense than the movie it was based on. It's retarded. No wonder this show lasted for only 20 episodes. This show was created by Tim McKeon and Adam Pava, who previously wrote for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and the Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and also creators of Weighty Decisions (a short segment that was featured in Cartoon Network's OTHER short-lived series Sunday Pants). I'm glad Cartoon Network is no longer allowed to produce anymore live-action shows, but still. This show is, without a doubt, one of Cartoon Network's worst shows of all time.
