Planet Sheen

For the record, I love Jimmy Neutron. It's like one of the best and coolest Nicktoons of the 2000s and one of my favorites. Planet Sheen, on the other hand, is downright pitiful. Why the Sam Hill did Nickelodeon ever come up with a spinoff this lame? It was disappointing when Jimmy Neutron ended in 2006, but I guess it's better off being stayed that way. Planet Sheen has no original Jimmy Neutron characters, except Sheen, but are replaced by freaks. Even the humor sucks. Meh.

Planet Sheen has got to be one of the worst shows from Nickelodeon since October 2nd 2010, this show ruined The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genious which is way better than this. Sheen becomes a very annoying character in the show and he was being a dumbass for pressing a button from a rocket that leads him to another planet. Thank god this show got cancelled in February 15th from 2013.

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 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

'Planet Sheen' (2010)

Opening thoughts: While 'Jimmy Neutron' is not one of my favourites or one of the best Nickelodeon has ever done, this reviewer has always found it a very enjoyable show. Expectations were mixed hearing there was a spin off, it didn't sound that appetising and has been near-universally poorly reviewed, but still wanted to give it a chance as Nickelodeon did do a lot of wonderful shows in its prime ('Rocko's Modern Life', 'Ren and Stimpy', 'The Angry Beavers' being particularly wonderful).

'Planet Sheen' just didn't work on any level and is a complete waste of a pretty decent premise. It is one of the worst spin off shows to exist and while not quite one of the worst shows Nickelodeon has ever done ('ChalkZone', 'Tak and the Power of Juju', 'Mega Babies', 'Breadwinners', 'Fanboy and Chum Chum') it is very close. Compared to 'Jimmy Neutron', 'Planet Sheen' is an absolute disgrace and shouldn't have any association with it. On its own terms, it is a terrible show with almost nothing to recommend it.

Good things: There are occasions where the colours are vibrant enough.

Bad things: A vast majority of the animation however is very cheap, with very blocky and ugly character designs that can look incomplete. The transitions are never seamless and the backgrounds completely lack imagination and are pretty simplistic. The voice acting is rather generic, didn't get the sense that the voice actors' hearts were in it, hence why the characters felt so vanilla.

Sheen doesn't have anywhere near enough personality to be convincing as a lead character and he is also incredibly irritating, his idiocy constantly overdone. The other characters are also bland and annoying.

Furthermore, there is nothing creative or smart about the writing, which is not funny or has any soul or emotion and any attempts at humour are more childish and juvenile than witty and sharp. The storylines lack energy, are thin and are not just predictable and have no imagination but the show really ran out of ideas in the later episodes and had a repetitive feel. The music is not very well placed and is not that infectious either, not much to be excited by. The theme song is less than infectious and is enough to make the ears bleed.

Closing thoughts: Concluding, terrible.

A generous 2/10.
