rage shadow legends right now spanning but a single season as so many spin-offs based around
a single side character often do planet sheen which aired its first 11 episodes on nickelodeon
between october 2010 and august 2011 and then its final 15 episodes on nicktoons between may 2012
and february 2013 was a spin-off series focused around jimmy neutron boy geniuses side character
sheen estevez which in most cases a side character like sheen who plays a specific role as the not so
smart side character like oh i don't know patrick starr or something runs the risk of flanderizing
them and spotlighting the worst aspects of that character and i'm sure if that happens here with
planet sheen nickelodeon would never ever do that to any other characters i just i don't know
mentioned previously in any shape or form would they sarcasm aside and interestingly enough planet
sheen is technically a spin-off of a spin-off with the show being a spin-off of the jimmy neutron tv
show which itself is a spin-off continuation of the jimmy neutron boy genius movie planetsheen
was created through the combined efforts of jenny neutron co-creator john a davis also known for his
work on the movie santa vs snowman 3d weight this played in imax why and steve odekirk who
also worked on santa vs snowman 3d and through the efforts of dna productions owner kate alcrin he's
involvement with the project stemmed from dna productions being the company that originally
produced both the jimmy neutron tv series and accompanying jimmy neutron movie you might
remember their iconic end logo with the three-eyed monkey on the beach waving at the camera saying hi
i'm paul planet sheen was a slightly serialized but predominantly episodic style show that
followed around sheen on the distant planet xenu after he in true sheen style get stranded there by
accidentally jacking and destroying one of jimmy neutron's rockets despite several very explicit
notes from jimmy advising sheen not to jump in the rocket and press the launch button once on
zenu sheen first does two things he one destroys an evil alien sorcerer's house by crashing into it
thus making an enemy for life and two becomes a royal advisor after somehow impressing the emperor
on the planet from there hijinx naturally ensues and my brain cell rate vastly drops
backing up sheen throughout this intergalactic hijinks is a cast of strange new characters who
call xenu home including mr nesmith a space exploration chimpanzee that's been trapped
on xenu since the 70s and serves as this sort of narrative replacement for jimmy as the only true
intelligent life form found there's dapi a carl weezer look-alike alien that also befriend sheen
and has the voice of rob paulson bless that man but it's like i always say if you got the
character design saved on your hard drive why not reuse it yeah my design is changing soon anyway
the emperor the ruler of xeno who is constantly trying to set up sheen with his daughter princess
alm and asifa voiced by solay moonfry most famous for playing punky brewster is an alien warrior
who serves as sheen's love interest throughout the series because just forget libby i guess
also featured heavily in the show but in an antagonist position was dorkis the aforementioned
evil alien sorcerer hungry for revenge against sheen for destroying his house and for taking
his royal adviser position and pinter dorcas's minion their role in the show is predominantly
as the root of trouble that is constantly trying to either get sheen in trouble or to take him
out completely i'll just say it here pinter is the best character in the show and he's also
freaking adorable when planet sheen was initially pitched it was going to be a lot more serious than
the eventual wacky random styling it ended up with would imply in the original concept the emperor of
xenu was going to be evil and sheen was going to work as a double agent against him what made
the studio move away from this interpretation is unknown probably something to do with blah blah
blah random equals funny yada yada fast-paced nonsense to keep attention you get it the
landscape at this point in the early 2010s split a very specific divide in cartoons either being like
this or ended up being a part of a more deeply written and well-told story as those shows would
start their own renaissance of sorts planet sheen does not fall into that category in the slightest
despite its eventual lukewarm reputation when the pilot of planet sheen originally aired many fans
were excited for it the premise of a beloved comic relief character and documented idiot
blasting off to some unknown planet to be stranded there until he finds a way home is a great setup
for a series on paper unfortunately implementing it properly is a whole other territory part way
through its airing as i said earlier the show didn't last long on nickelodeon it was tossed
over to their nicktoons channel why one can only assume as an attempt by nickelodeon to
hide the shame of what they had done rejecting their own creation like frankenstein with his
monster of course planetsheen didn't go on to track down nickelodeon in the arctic to
you know what this analogy isn't very good much like this show throughout its 26 episode run the
show failed to deliver what fans were looking for and the show was eventually cancelled due
to low ratings and high production costs i will say the overall quality of the animation
does look fine it's just jimmy neutron in hd with better lighting and polish okay maybe not for the
landscapes but the character models specifically sheen's looked great as far as complimenting much
else about the show the list doesn't really go on from the constant back and forth between shane
and nesmith where nessmith would just explain rational thinking sheen would always be wrong
and then implement whatever he wanted to do regardless this unrestricted ridiculousness
proves to not only be unbearable at times but shows that having a lack of jimmy here too more
times than not handle sheen's nonsense is integral to sheen's comedic relief character as a whole
most other characters like the emperor and dappy only further these problems asifa seems to be the
only one that can truly get through to sheen on occasion and the butt of many jokes in the series
are butts toilet jokes and of course slapstick in the form of dork is getting constantly hurt
it boils down to a formulaic show with plots not much deeper than sheen needing to use the restroom
or more dork is getting hurt over trying to hurt sheen i honestly right after watching it can't
think of any notable moments that stand out as it all just blends together having sheen as the
comedic relief in jimmy neutron proper served a point in aiding jimmy as well as to emphasize how
smart jimmy is having jimmy with no comedic relief becomes too dry but having comedic relief with
no cooldown becomes exhausting i never like to blindly hate on a show i give things a fair chance
but in doing so here i found no difference than how i felt a decade ago when i first saw this show
when it was new i may be even a bit more jaded on it now after re-watching jimmy neutron recently
and seeing how great that show constantly was and how not constantly great planet sheen was it feels
like an obvious cash grab at fans of jimmy neutron and at the same time almost like a straight to
dvd rip-off you find at walmart ah yes the 2013 classic atlantic rim many fans since planet sheen
ended have speculated that the network didn't have much faith in the series from the jump
going so far as to cite the fact that nickelodeon never gave the pilot episode an official name
instead just calling it pilot as a showcase of that lack of confidence in its success
and the show ends with an episode where sheen murders a whole lot of alien grasshoppers who
give out wedgies originally a movie was planned to wrap up the series by having jimmy and the
gang travel to xenu to rescue sheen and bring him home but due to the series low ratings this movie
was shelved before it even saw the light of day leaving sheen's fate indeterminate in vae kind of
in the jimmy neutron episode the tomorrow boys where jimmy makes the time portal so that the
gang can visit the future it is implied that sheen did make it back to earth since according to that
episode in the future sheen is an extremely famous male model or if you watch further in
the episode a dumpster diver of course this can just be a branching timeline incident something
something loki or someone failing to remember this particular jimmy neutron episode existed
when pitching planet sheen or maybe it's just not candid at all and none of this makes sense fate of
sheen out on planet xenu remains unanswered today will that brave little traveler ever get home i
sure hope not i wanted the best for this show i love jimmy neutron and what that show meant to me
growing up and still does to this day but planet sheen any angle you look at it just isn't good
from its conception to the confidence behind the project to the writing in general the show
didn't know what it wanted to do with sheen they had an interesting idea to send sheen to space
on accident and it could have been executed well if it was like a jimmy neutron tv movie
similar to the original ending concept where jimmy and carl would probably have to go and find
and rescue sheen from whatever he was getting into on that planet but it just being sheen alone on a
planet for 26 episodes doesn't and clearly didn't work it seems overall like a mistake
to make sheen a leading role character on his own with characters too similar to him and there
probably was some great ideas here but maybe this ship should have never launched next time
he jimmy's warning notes let me know what you think about planetsheen in the comments below
if you like it that's fantastic and i'm happy you do find enjoyment in that show of course for me
