Special Marathon
On May 19, 2007, Nickelodeon aired a special marathon called Genius, Sheenius, or In Betweenius? which featured episodes selected by fans of the series, a personality quiz on Nick.com, and a revised version of the movie featuring in-universe commentary from the characters of Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl.

These were the top ten selected episodes:

• "Sheen's Brain"
• "Battle Of The Band"
• "Men At Work"
• "The Tomorrow Boys"
• "Ultra Sheen"
• "Carl Wheezer, Boy Genius"

Pilots (1998-2001)

The pilot, named Runaway Rocketboy, involves Jimmy testing a rocket ship that he has invented, and later uses it when he inadvertently stumbles upon a Yolkian plot to conquer Earth. The pilot was never aired, but its plot was used for the film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. It was the second episode that Nickelodeon didn't air it, the first one is the Rugrats pilot episode. The pilot was later included as an extra on the "Confusion Fusion" DVD.

The pilot had a few differences from the main series. Most notably, the clothes were different, Goddard was not voiced by Frank Welker, and Carl Wheezer resembled his father. The title card had a picture in the scene. Also, the DNA Productions mascot was an animated cat.

The second pilot, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, was released on December 21, 2001 as a theatrical film.

• Nickelodeon and Amazon.com have struck a deal to produce DVDs of new and old Nickelodeon shows. Amazon will be making the discs, cover art, and disc art themselves. The Best of Jimmy Neutron Seasons 1, 2, & 3 will be released on Amazon.com on September 5.

Development

The television series is produced by Thumb Wars for the Nickelodeon cable channel, and animated by DNA Productions using messiah:studio and LightWave 3D software as was the movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. A television movie, Attack of the Twonkies, aired on Nickelodeon in mid-June 2005. In 2004, head writer Steven Banks was nominated for a Writer's Guild Club 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. Nickelodeon has cancelled the series in July 2006, but they decided to carry the show to November 2006. After 3 episodes aired in that month, the show came to an end on November 25, 2006.
