For me Planet Sheen is a special case. I think the only reason I don't hate it as much as everything else is because of nostalgia from what little of Jimmy Neutron is left in the show. I was really disappointed with Planet Sheen though. It had the potential to be as (almost) as great as JN. I was actually looking forward to it when it premiered. At that point I was getting back into Nick after staying away for several years since they canceled all the good shows. The first season of BTR got me back to keeping up with what Nick was doing. This was also the time I started watching iCarly regularly. When I found out there would be a JN spinoff I was pretty excited. I always thought Sheen was funny. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to focus on Sheen but I was certainly willing to give it a shot. But when I watched it I was like "What is this shit?". They took the 3 main characters, cut out major portions of their personality, changed the names and looks of two of them, then put them on another planet. Sheen was missing his love for Ultralord and his girlfriend, Libby. Carl became an alien and they cut out his asthma and crush on Jimmy's mom. Jimmy became a talking monkey who doesn't like to go on adventures any more. He just sits around and tries to fix the spaceship. Put this on some alien planet. They took out character depth, not to mention the rivalry between Jimmy and Cindy. You got the one sided rivalry with Dorkus and Sheen but it's not the same. Speaking of Dorkus the character is just stupid. He's like a grim reaper that can't kill anyone. The fact that his name is Dorkus isn't funny. And sheen doesn't save the day from Dorkus or anyone else. It's just sheer stupidity and luck that keeps him alive. The characters have not depth, the plots are stupid, and the humor is childish. They would be better off bringing back JN. They could fix the humor and write better plots but in the end to make it great they would have to scrap the idea and bring back the characters and Retroville.
