    Not original, but who cares? It's Jimmy! hide show

    So the storyline wasn't the most original idea ever...but it was still funny. Grandma Neutron and the hair which ran down to her foot was kind of freaky though. Her story about the ear wax shop was really funny. The second episode was OK, except nothing really happened because it was too short. Like many of the 11 minute episodes, I don't think that it was exploited to its full potential. Either one of the two episodes could have been expanded to a full 22 minute one and would have made it better. Then again, we can't have everything we want...since Nick is cancelling the show...

    But it's Neutron for cryin out loud! hide show

    It is not the best episode,but it's not the worst either. When I watched it the first time,I thought it was great.But after the second and third season,it seemed unoriginal.I say average,but because it's my second favorite show,I give it a ten.I'm saying this early,but all loyal Neutron fans,this is one of those "YAWN" episodes when you get down to it!I think that both episodes are boring and dull.They both have NO action,and try to be to funny,It's Horribible!Don't worry,that's a Winnie the Pooh quote.All in all,I expected more,of course it's only the first season,the real magic came in the second and third seasons.

    *Yawn* hide show

    These episodes are just plain boring, in Granny Baby, Jimmy turns his Grandma into a baby and he and Cindy have to find the antidote before Jimmy's parents come home. In Time is Money, Jimmy just goes back into time to convince his dad to invest in McSpanky's so he can be rich just have some dumb encyclopedia set. Jimmy sets everything back to normal becuase his parents don't spend time with him anymore. At first when these episodes premiered, they were okay, but now, they're just sorry due to them being shown way too much. These episodes are a big disappointment.

    a funny episode hide show

    Jimmy accentally turns his Granny into a baby, when an expirment went wrong he was only trying to make his granny younger, he inlisted Cindy to help him get the ingredients to the antidote, to change his granny back, in the end he succeed, but after Carl mistaking it for Lemonade became old as well, and he and Jimmy's Granny dancied... very badly.

    good episode, I like the way it ended.

    Jimmy wants the 1,000 set encyclopedia of infinite knowledge, but his parent's can't afford it, and after learing that his family could have been rich, if his Dad would have invested in McSpanky's Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen travel back in time to convince Hugh of investing, Hugh took his advice and Jimmy became rich he even had his encyclopedia set, but money changed his parents, so Jimmy goes back in time and fixes the problem, making everything as it should be.

    A great episode with Jimmy learning a powerful lession.
