See Jimmy Run - Jimmy is tired of Cindy beating him in the relay race so, he invents a spray and coats his shoes with it, of course it backfires cindy wins and jimmy ends up a big mess. They where mean to jimmy but kids are always cruel.

Trading Faces - Jimmy wants to stay one step ahead of Cindy when she pranks him so he invebts a device to read her mind, it gets struck by lighning and Jimmy and Cindy switch bodies. It had some very funny consequences, in the end they end up coming up with a plan to switch back, not to metion an embarassing screne that either Jimmy or Cindy was thinking.moreless

This episode was one of my favorites in season one. See Jimmy Run was a funny episode especially when Cindy was playing jump rope and Jimmy spun her into the boys bathroom. This episode showed another one of Jimmy's inventions not working out right. Big surprise there!

In Trading Faces Jimmy tries to build an invention that reads other people's minds. It backfires on him and makes Jimmy switch bodies with Cindy! This episode was really funny because Jimmy and Cindy did alot of things to get revenge on each other. The best part of this episode was the end in which Jimmy and Cindy discovered that one of them had a dream about them kissing on a country road. Both of them wouldn't admit who it was though.moreless

In trading faces, we kinda have a Jimmy/Cindy at the end. We they have their identity back and walk out of the lab. Both oj them, especially Cindy, startsto like Jimmy since they dream of kissing ! And I think, was due to Liby,Carl, and Sheen, they threw the thing that made them dislike each other. :)

Read my review for these dumb episodes.

1.6

By Star_Blaster, Jul 30, 2005

See Jimmy Run: Seriously, I dont know why the people did this. Jimmy is mistreated throughout the entire episode. Firstly, when Jimmy loses, his friends laugh and trample on him. Then when he loses with his rocket shoes because he doesn't use them right, they trample him and laugh AGAIN. Then when Jimmy gores out of control, he becomes a blob of jelly, and his friends poke him and mess him up. How bad is that? He did nothing wrong except humiliate Cindy, which she got what she deserved which is the best thing.

Trading Faces: This is also very bad. As Jimmy, Cindy said he wanted meatloaf for Christmas, to get rid of his lab and to sleep in the cellar, while Jimmy didn't do anything like that: He just embarrassed Cindy. The only cool thing is where there in that machine

These eps are both very bad. The animators really could of done better. At least make Jimmy live in the end of SJR.moreless

In See Jimmy Run, Jimmy creates a pair of shoes that enable him to run at lightning fast speeds. In "Trading Faces" Jimmy switches minds with--drom roll please-- Cindy Vortex.

By Quintaquara, Jul 29, 2005

While "See Jimmy Run" was hardly what you could call an original episode, it's partner episode "Trading Faces" made up for that. This episode is absolutely hilarious! The quotes and scenarios in this episode kept me laughing for hours, and I'll still watch it again and again. After Jimmy accidentally switches minds with Cindy, the two of them think of every possible way to embarrass and humiliate each other. The creative ways that they find to do this is simply hysterical; from purposely failing tests, to destroying each other's wardrobes, Cindy and Jimmy certainly prove that a mind is a terrible thing, two ways.

TRIVIA (15)
ADD TRIVIA
- When Miss Fowl is asking Jimmy and Cindy to explain their Fs, we can see that the quiz Jimmy submitted while in Cindy's body reads:
  
  "The ant is a member of what family?
  My mom's
  
  What are the names of the planets?
  Farkle, GubGub, Fragglesmacking, Beetle
  
  What fruit do raisins come from?
  Walnuts
  
  How many suns orbit the earth?
  What is a sun?
  
  How many eggs are in a dozen?

  EDIT SHARE
- When Jimmy is explaining how to use the Virtual Brain Pods, he says that all their memories would appear on the screen. When Sheen puts the first memory in Jimmy's head the blue thing starts to rise. If that's what measured who's brain had something in it and all of Jimmy's and Cindy's memories had appeared on the screen, why would their still be some of the blue and pink stuff on both their body models.
  EDIT SHARE
- The deletion of the last memory has caused speculation by some viewers as to whether Jimmy and Cindy's love is real, or is a result of the deletion.
  EDIT SHARE
- In See Jimmy Run, apparently, Jimmy inherited at least a little of his genius from his mom, because she predicted what the shoes would do.
  EDIT SHARE
- In Trading Faces...
  Jimmy as Cindy: Don't put my hands on my hips! Guys don't do that!
  
  But in See Jimmy Run, Jimmy is humming with his right hand on his hip.
  EDIT SHARE
- We learn that after this episode Jimmy has a rapturous enjoyment of mustard.
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- When Jimmy as Cindy say "Farkle, Gub-gub" while writing on his/Cindy's test, when the papers are shown with F's on Jimmy (as Cindy)'s paper, "Gub-gub" is written before "Farkle."
  EDIT SHARE
- In "See Jimmy Run", the track is unfair because Cindy is on the inside of the cricular track and Jimmy is on the outside of it. Jimmy's starting point or ending point should give him a foot of a headstart.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "See Jimmy Run," the park fountain that is seen in "Professor Calamitous, I Presume" of the man peeing, is different than the one in this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Jimmy runs through a cloud, wouldn't he be wet afterwards?
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- In "Trading Faces," Carl and Sheen hide behind a wall while talking to Jimmy in Cindy's body. Carl says that they can't be seen talking to a girl, but in many episodes, the boys are seen talking to Cindy and/or Libby.
  Response: Carl has a slight laugh in his voice as he says it, so must have been joking.

- Cindy: Did you um, notice, when our brains were floating inside that thing together, which was disgusting, by the way! One of us was imagining us walking down a country lane, holding hands, and um, kissing?
  Jimmy: Yeah, I remember that. But it wasn't my brain thinking it.
  Cindy: Well it sure as heck wasn't mine!

  Jimmy as Cindy: But not as big a dipstick as you are, Miss Fowl. And if I don't get a month's worth of detention for that, you're even dumber than you look!
  Cindy as Jimmy: Oh, yeah? Well, how many detentions is this worth, Miss Fowl-Breath! (stomps on her desk, scattering papers)
