Advantages: Its Earthworm Jim!, Funny

Disadvantages: Sometimes too goofy

Hmm. My title was meant to reflect the catchy nature of the great opening theme... I guess it didnt work eh?
Anyways.....this cartoon is based upon the ever popular console game "Earthworm Jim"

And the plot is about the same.. crazy, pointless and damn funny. Basically Jim "was just a dirt eating little earthworm, then a supersuit came and fell on him one day" (direct quote from the theme tune!"
Jim in his supersuit had the ability to walk, jump and do lots of heroic things. He is the hero of the show, along with his fluffy sidekick Peter Puppy (original name huh?) who turns in to a psycho-monster on feeling any pain at all!
The love-interest is Princess "Whatshername" who is the sister of the Evil Queen "slug for a butt".
Other arch enemies include Evil ("a minor setback") the Cat, Psycrow, Bob the Fish and Professor Monkey for a Head.
To add to this you have a funny, although be it somewhat annoying narrator and cows that drop out of nowhere...

What made the cartoon so good to me? Well every now and then something drastic happens, ie one of the aforementioned baddies try to conquer the universe via an incredibly stupid plan...
and Jim has to go save the day... A lot of slapstick comedy is involved - sometimes a little too much.. it gets a bit too goofy at places. You find out a lot about Jim in this series - how he thinks - with his 3 (i think) brains, the origin of Prncess' name and why you shouldnt drink too much coffee..!
Jim has a really big red gun that is sooo retro and cool...it is just like playing the videogame, but more unny when you watch this show..This truly is one of the good game-to-cartoon conversions that I've seen.

If you like funny, watch this show. If you liked the game, then watch this show. Well, if you got 20 mins to spare - this show will waste em for ya - and you'll feel good about it too!! (or not..)
