It had been 4 years since The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius had ended. Nickelodeon decided to green-light a spinoff. Maybe they should've left it on caution.
Planet Sheen had just 1 season of 26 episodes, and Nick kept the series on the air for 3 years total before putting the show to bed in 2013.
Sheen Estevez (named for Charlie Sheen & Emilio Estevez) wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the drawer among Jimmy's friends, but he did have a yearning for adventure.
Check the intro:
In memory of actor Jeffrey Garcia, who voiced Sheen in both series. Garcia passed away today at 50. Rest in peace.
Jeff Garcia dead at only half a century? That’s very unfortunate. I guess a one-shot Jimmy Neutron revival movie akin to the ones for Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim is out of the question, unless they find someone who can do a spot-on impression of Sheen and, to a lesser extent, some of his other characters, like Pip from Barnyard.
ReplyDeleteThere’s another prolific VA who also recently passed away: Jim Ward. You might know him as Chet Youbetcha (the newsman from The Fairly Oddparents) and Captain Qwark from the Ratchet & Clank games.
