What Parents Need to Know
About The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron
Parents need to know that there is a lot of yelling and some stereotyping, but because the program has a vaudeville element, these facts do not detract from the quality of the viewing. In fact, the show has the cadence of a slapstick Broadway show and the energy of Bugs Bunny. Though it's not an educational half-hour in front of the television, the show features well-developed characters, humor, adventure, and a good sci-fi punch, which makes it superior viewing compared to other programs in its genre.

Great show, but getting old.
This is a great show that doesn't do weird stuff to get people to laugh. There is also a little action to entertain the teenage audience. The bad part though is that the show has been announced to not be making anymore new episodes, and frankly, it is getting old. Violence isn't much of an issue in this one except that, like mentioned, it does have minor action. There is barely anything to worry about on the sexual side except that one time Jimmy pictures Cindy in a bikini. When it comes to social behavior, there are some issues as Jimmy goes against his parents's will often, and, although he apologizes, there are times when he doesn't, and he even gets rewarded for misbehavior at one time. Overall a good show if you haven't seen any of it yet, but, to someone who has seen it a lot, it is boring.
