Out of Jimmy's Head

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
