The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (abbreviated as JN), American animated television series, is a spin-off of the Oscar-nominated computer-animated movie; , first officially aired on September 6, 2002. This is also the first computer-animated Nicktoon. The television series was produced by O Entertainment for the Nickelodeon cable channel, and animated by DNA Productions in Irving, Texas 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 episode 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 series is about a kid inventor named Jimmy Neutron in the fictional town of Retroville, who gets in and out of trouble by inventing far-out gadgets. Jimmy's main catchphrases are "Gotta blast!", and "Brain blast!", or simply the most overused phrase, "That's it!", after coming up with the ultimate idea to solve the problem. Jimmy typically has a "Brain Blast" once an episode at the climax of the story when all other ideas have failed, and it is accompanied by a visual of his ideas floating within the inner workings of his brain. After the show ends, Nickelodeon sells Jimmy Neutron to DiC Entertainment on July 2006.[[Citing sources citation needed]]
