Jimmy fuori di testa

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.

Just as bad as Re-Animated. Changing Craig and Robin's actors was probably the only good thing (because they were a TAD better than the ones in reanimated). Let's think of ways it rips off of other shows. So the show focuses on a kid who was hit by a train (sort of a rip off of My Name is Earl (way funnier than this sh*t)). He gets a new brain, which is the brain of Milt Appleday (basically the whole idea is Walt Disney). Now I'm honestly not a Disney fan, but I'd take those over this. Anyway, a guy named Sonny who turns out to be Milt's son is trying to steal the brain with lame ideas that blow up in his face (Rip off of Looney Tunes?). The sister is an alien, adopted by an astronaut who is Jimmy's mother, and his father is the principal of his school. All of these feel like a ripoff of Family Guy (wacky dysfunctional family) and American Dad (alien relative). And last, and maybe least you have Jimmy, who's the kid that got a new brain after being hit by a train. He sees random cartoon characters who do nothing, but bounce around in his head and contribute nothing to him, but annoyance and bad advice. But, that's not the worst part. The fact that it aired on Cartoon Network AT ALL is bad. It's called Cartoon Network for a reason. It's not supposed to air live- action crap like Nickelodeon does. The laugh track wasn't a good thing it just made the show worse than it already was. So you'd think Cartoon Network would've learned after this, but they didn't. Now we've got the Annoying Orange to go with it. Man, I miss good old Cartoon Network that only aired cartoons and not live-action programming with acting that makes any TV made Syfy Channel or Steven Seagal movie look like gold. If I could vote this 0 I would, but it's not happening. Seriously, Jimmy's actor was better off on ER. I'm sure everyone's happy this was cancelled.

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.

The movie for this show in my personal opinion was enjoyable. But this series is not.

The humour is forced like there is nothing there.

The whole concept of the show is absolutely stupid.

But at least it's not unbearable like Teen Titans Go!

The acting is good though.

But don't watch this show.

This was a show that didn't need to be made. It was based off a movie that also didn't need to be made(at least not without a few rewrites). The show focuses on a kid named Jimmy(Dominic James) who has to deal with the aftermath of his brain transplant and how it affects him in his daily life.

This causes him to hallucinate characters he grew up with much to the confusion of others. In addition to having to deal with school, he also has to deal with a nut trying to steal his brain as well as his wacky family. The one that stands out most is his adopted sister named Yancy. I have to admit I had a crush on her and she along with the cartoons were the only good thing to come out of this show.

Otherwise, this show was forgettable. The jokes aren't funny, the acting's stiff(though I can't blame the actors as they do what they can with the bland script), and the stories have potential but just aren't interesting. This's definitely one of Cartoon Network's worst shows aired. Looking back, I don't know how I watched it as a kid.

It's not awful or offensive, just dumb and forgettable. With being said, skip it. Leave it to be forgotten.
