[edit] History
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.

[edit] Characters
[edit] Location
Retroville is located in the United States, though the exact location is unknown. There have been hints that it is in Texas.
[edit] Reasons supporting Texas
- In the episode Crime Sheen Investigation, Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen are thrown into a dumpster by Nick, a phone number on the dumpster has the area code 214 which is a Texas area code.
- In another episode, Jimmy takes off in the Hovercar, a map showing his progress. showed his starting point as being in the vicinity of Central Texas.
- One strong clue that they live in Texas is the TX that can be seen on Goddard's license plate in the original movie.
- In the episode The Mighty Wheezers, Jimmy's parents go to the Wooden duck fire, which is located in a hot, dry, ragged desert, which resembles the vicinity outside of the stereotype "Dallas".
- In the episode Stranded Jimmy and Cindy are flying to the Pacific Ocean, the starting point is close to or in Texas.
- The animated studio that created Jimmy Neutron, DNA Productions is located in Irving, Texas.
- In the Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island manual it states Timmy Turner is from Dimmsdale, California. SpongeBob is from Bikini Bottom, Pacific Ocean. Danny Phantom is from Amity Park, USA. Jimmy Neutron is from Retroville, Texas.
[edit] Reasons against Texas
- In the episode When Pants Attack Cindy says that Jimmy has a "head the size of Texas." Carl answers with "my uncle's from Texas!" Though given Carl's less than intelligent demeanor, he could have easily been talking in 3rd person.
- One of the possible reasons is that in the episode Lights, Camera, Danger,"Quentin Smithee" says that the movie will be shot in Retroville. Jimmy then said: "My screenplay takes place in London, the Atlantic Ocean and a mythical world in Texas. Retroville doesn't look like any of those places". He either means that they don't live in an area that looks Texas like, or he means that the town doesn't look like what most movie goers interpret Texas to be like.
- In The N Men when Cindy, Carl, Sheen, and Libby are imprisoned in the dome of Kirbonium, it is in the Mojave Desert which is in California.
