Planeta Sheen

I used to watch Planet Sheen, I used to like it. But now I hate it, why? Because nobody asked Sheen to get his own spin-off series, Sheen become very annoying when he is the main protagonist in his own show, the variety of this cartoon may be colorful, but it is also very ugly. Oh and did I mention that there is an alien version of Carl in this one. (At least we get to see Carl in one episode) Planet Sheen is an awful spin-off from Jimmy Neturon and thank god Nickelodeon canceled it after one season. I give Planet Sheen a 2.3/10

Where to begin? Sure the animation is cheaply downgraded compared to Pixar and Dreamworks movies and some shows they offer, but even if that's what some say about Jimmy Neutron, at least that show has characters with depth that were not jokes and it has jokes that made it work, but here however, no one can see any charm in this cheap drug trip especially towards a once well likable and average smart character only to plunge into the most toned down ear piercing stereotype. After watching the trailer, I started getting the urge to stay away and I can clearly see why after a few episodes. It clearly shows that not a single heart was poured into this, just a bunch of decaying waste, and this alone is how I can sum this garbage fest up! As for the thumbs up lying "fans" who rated high this joke, you know it's not funny, and speaking of jokes, they are either forced (whether they work or not) or as weak as (out)dated ones and it only took 2 seasons for it to fall flat on its face (only to never see the light of day again) and thank god for that, yet you're clearly defending it like it should go on for no reason after showing that it doesn't care! The creators really need to erase this sour memory so that Jimmy Neutron can come back, so a true show like that with real characters and everything can live on!

I was about 22 in a bar on a Friday evening and caught the children's program, Planet Sheen, airing on Nickelodeon. I sat at the bar and just mindlessly watched it thinking nothing of the antics Sheen was up to on his planet, but I soon realized the dark message that was hidden within the creases of the show. The whole complex concept of Sheen possessing his own planet symbolizes the desires of mankind, to obtain total dominance of the world. Sheen is ranked top on the social hierarchy of this planets society, and uses his knowledge of earth to trick the inhabitants to thinking he is a god. Here is where the show reaches dark territory, revealing how the white male can manipulate impoverished countries into believing that they are the smartest beings when in reality they are just flawed individuals, no common than the ordinary man. We can see more of Sheen's incompetence by the locals he hangs around. The green slug-like alien Doppy, presumably to be a depiction of Sheen's companion Karl Wheezer, reveals the truth that Sheen is still a child, not experienced enough to rule over an alien race. The next day I had to put my daughter down due to a terminal 8 tumor from birth. I didn't tell her that, I couldn't break her delicate heart. Holding her hand on the bed she leaned over and looked me in the eye asking, "Where do butterflies go during the winter?" Trying not to cry I said, "they go home, they go home."

Planet Sheen is not a good show. The main character is obnoxious, the plots are nonsensical in a bad way, and the show is physically and emotionally draining to watch.

Which is why it may surprise you that Planet Sheen gets my highest recommendations.

You might've heard someone describe something as being like a car crash, where it's terrible, but you can't look away. Planet Sheen isn't like a car crash. It's like a traffic jam where every car is still moving seventy miles an hour. No matter how assaulting it may be to the ears, eyes, and brain, as soon as you hop in, you just gotta see all fifty episodes. (Twenty-six twenty-two minute blocks, most are two segments, aside from the first and last episodes which are both specials.) Everything about this show is so bizarre, but in such a warped way that nothing else could give you the exact same experience. I'm not one of those people who goes "This must've been made on drugs!" when anything shows a slimmer of creativity, but I am legitimately not sure how humans could've made this.

One of my friends suggested it was God trying to communicate with us, and we couldn't understand his message, and I am slightly convinced that may be true.

Planet Sheen does have a few legitimate merits, sure, a couple of characters, particularly the main villains, are at least moderately entertaining, and for the standards of CG, the animation is pretty expressive, if not a smidge too bright. But if you're watching Planet Sheen for Dorkus and Pinter, you're watching it for all the wrong reasons. If you can find the time, I recommend you put on this show, and watch it with a friend, because it is absolutely nuts. If you aren't willing to do the whole show, however, I at least recommend "Torzilla," "ExpreSheenism," "Washing My Sheen," "Banana Quest," and "Gotta Go" for the true experience of it all. If my memory isn't bugged, I think "To Chill a Mocking Blurg" and "Stuck in the Riddle with You" were maybe the only episodes with an actual slimmer of quality, but that's a pretty strong "maybe."

I'd probably give this show a 3/10 on its own standards, but I gotta throw on at least one star for the experience it is. It's bad, yeah, but it's memorably bad.

I'm probably one of few fans who enjoyed this because I was so attached to Jimmy Neutron, but one thing I'll agree on no matter what is how unnecessary the spin-off was to Jimmy Neutron as it ruined the whole show -- just like what Fairly Odd Parents did, but Nickelodeon tended to ruin a lot of their best shows. They could've either kept Jimmy Neutron running and had this as a special episode for people to enjoy this a lot more. But I kept watching because I was curious about how residents of Retroville wondered what happened to Sheen. I mean whether you like it or not, I was hoping the show would've been wrapped up with Jimmy finding him on this planet, either having him demand he stays or goes home with Jimmy to Earth.
