The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is an American animated television series, and spin-off of the Academy Award-nominated computer-animated movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. It first officially aired on September 6th, 2002. It was also the very first computer-animated Nicktoon.

After declining ratings and other factors, Nickelodeon canceled the series, originally along with The Fairly OddParents, after the two cartoons merged for the third time in a TV movie. Since then, no announcements have been made to continue the series, yet the Fairly OddParents is slated for another 20 episodes.

The series is about a child genius and inventor named Jimmy Neutron in the fictional town of Retroville, Texas, who gets in and out of trouble by inventing complex gadgets. Jimmy's main catchphrases are "Gotta Blast!", "Brain Blast!", "Think, think, think!", or simply the most overused phrases, "I've got it!" or "That's it!", which he says after coming up with the ultimate idea to solve the problem. Jimmy typically has a "Brain Blast" once an episode, usually at the climax of the story when all other ideas have failed, and it is accompanied by a display of his ideas floating within the inner workings of his brain.

The television series was produced by O Entertainment for the Nickelodeon cable channel, and animated by DNA Productions using LightWave 3D software as was the movie. A television movie, Win, Lose and Kaboom, formerly named You Bet Your Life Form, aired on Nickelodeon in early-July 2004. A second television movie, The League of Villains, aired on Nickelodeon in mid-June 2005. In 2004, head writer Steven Banks was nominated for a Writer's Guild Award for the telefilm Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion. The first Jimmy Neutron mini-episodes aired before the Jimmy Neutron movie and can be seen only on Nicktoons Network, the movie web site, and on later versions of the DVD release of the original movie.

On May 19th, 2007, Nickelodeon aired a special marathon called Genius, Sheenius, or In Betweenius? which featured episodes selected by fans of the series and a personality quiz on Nick.com (The personality quiz did not function properly). A revised version of the movie also aired featuring in-universe commentary from the characters of Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl. This is the 10th most watched show in the world.

These were the top ten selected episodes:

• "Sheen's Brain"
• "Battle Of The Band"
• "Men At Work"
• "The Tomorrow Boys"
• "Ultra Sheen"
• "Carl Wheezer, Boy Genius"
• "King Of Mars"
• "Who Framed Jimmy Neutron?"
• "Best In Show"
• "The N Men"
