[edit] Plot

One night, Jimmy Neutron, Carl Wheezer, and Sheen Estevez hack into the local news feed, and paste their heads on the bodies of the reporters. The same night, Cindy Vortex tells Libby Folfax that she and Jimmy played footsie in the library. The next day, Corky Schimatzu, a famous television and film producer, hires Jimmy, Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby to do a children's news program. Jimmy and Cindy are the anchors, Carl is the weatherman, Sheen is the sports reporter, and Libby is a gossip reporter.

That night, everything goes well on the show until Libby comes on. She proceeds to tell millions of viewers about Jimmy and Cindy's relationship going from "love-hate" to "all-love all the time" (while Jimmy and Cindy are flirting). Then she reveals that Sheen takes advice from hand puppets,and that Carl walked around with toilet paper on his shoe all day.

Libby discovers lots of embarrassing gossip to share on the show, and uses it to blackmail people to do whatever she wants. Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, and Sheen develop a plan. They get Libby to look through a peephole into Carl's dressing room. Inside, she sees that three "aliens" (actually Jimmy, Cindy, and Sheen with masks) have taken over Carl's brain. They are using him to gather kittens for them to eat, and harvest human spleens to play "spleenball" with. Libby believes this, and reports it on the local news. The town proceeds to mob Carl. Jimmy and Cindy tell Libby it was just a story they made up to scare her. She calls off the mob, which starts attacking Jimmy and Cindy. Libby stops them again and apologizes to her friends for the way she acted. Corky then shows up and tells them they are all fired, for he is making a new show, titled Everybody Loves Sock Puppet. The mob then chases Corky down the street (who drops Sheen), so everyone walks off to go home. Libby picks up Sheen and goes off. Jimmy stops and kisses Cindy on the lips, and she is left stunned and dizzy, after a few seconds she runs after Jimmy and they walk off hand in hand. Carl calls for someone to let him out of the headlock the mob put him in, yet no one does.

[edit] Future

Many fans have attached the series to The Fairly OddParents in similarity. Because The Fairly OddParents was renewed for 20 more episodes in 2008,^[1] fans of the series thought that The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was to be renewed for more episodes as well. Unfortunately, Nickelodeon has not made any announcements to renew the series for a 4th season.
