Gotta Blast!
I've been a fan of the series since I saw the movie in 2001, and didn't watch the show until two years later once it got into the second season. I kept watching it until around the time the show ended and Nick just stopped playing reruns. Then I heard about this DVD set Shout Factory released for the 20th anniversary of the movie and decide to buy it as a Christmas gift for my siblings.
The DVD contains all of the the episodes from the show, including the three Jimmy/Timmy specials when the show crossover with Fairly OddParents between 2004 to 2006. However, the set doesn't include the 2001 movie as it's published directly from Viacom, but it's not a big deal as this is only for the show.
Despite having all the episodes, there are a few gripes I have with the set. The first thing is the episode listing. Because this is one of the few shows Nick had that relies on continuity, the episodes are scrambled thanks to a few characters; Libby and the League of Villains. Libby gets her makeover in a episode where Jimmy and his friends go to Egypt, and the DVD places it as the start of Season 2, rather than the finale of the first according to the Wikia. And the League of Villains is actually meant to be placed at the end of the show rather than early of Season 3, as it features some characters that haven't show up yet (eg,Grandma Taters and Baby Eddie) or episodes that the viewers haven't watched. I know this was an issue Nick had as they air the episodes out of order when it aired. It's not a big deal if you only want to watch certain episodes, but for someone that rather binge watch it with plots being connected, this is really painful to get through.
The second thing is some of the audio issues with the music, as some tracks either a replacement track or no music at all. Big example is the Christmas episode, as during the one scene where Jimmy's parents were singing the Pule song where the music is missing. It's an interesting way to hear what the song is like without the music, don't get me wrong, but it feels like it's a misstep Shout took and the episode isn't on any other DVD. I read somewhere that it has to do with rights issues, and as I heard that some episodes had some edited music due to rights issues, and I kinda wish Shout sorted them out beforehand. So some people would have to hold onto the recordings they had when the show aired if they rather have those versions instead. Speaking of which, another issue is the framerate on the second Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour special, as the scenes that either focus on Jimmy's side or any elements that use CGI/3D is rendered much slower. This is very hard to watch as the framerate is a huge issue compare to the rest of the show. I'm not sure if this is an issue when it was on the original DVD or this is another hiccup Shout did.
The last gripes I have with the set are mainly the features, as I read from the Wikia that it's mainly the features from the previous DVDs. I'm glad they know about them if you don't want to keep the older DVDs, but I wish they also contain new features on how the series was made, as there's some leaks about the series' bible during the time the show was off the air. I also wish the DVD box set is more creative as I felt like it's a bit bland inside and would like it to be more special.
Still, it' a great show Nick had in the 2000s before they overused SpongeBob later on, and if you grew up with the show and if you have kids, this is a great set!Read full review...

Great DVD set for classic Nickelodeon show
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius is my favorite show on Nickelodeon and Shout Factory did not disappoint with this set. Every episode is included and many still hold to this day. The characters are memorable, the stories are entertaining with many different scenarios and inventions and the show has many funny moments. The animation has aged, but is pretty good for an early and mid 2000s TV show and it has neat character designs and settings. The bonuses are also really good with all three Jimmy Timmy Power Hour crossover specials, the original pilot, behind the scenes spots and five storyboarded episodes. My only issue issue is that some discs can fall out of the racks easily. If you're a fan of Jimmy Neutron or early NickToons, I highly recommend this set. I would've liked a Blu-ray set of the series, but I was satisfied with the DVD set regardless.Read full review...

Another great Shout Factory release of another great show!
Jimmy neutron is a classic for all intensive purposes. It’s great if you love classic nicktoons, it’s great if you’re a sucker for good sci-fi comedy, it’s great if you like character driven, surreal, and obsurdist humor.
As we’ve all come to expect from ShoutFactory this dvd complete series release is also pretty great. It contains all three seasons of the show, all the Jimmy Timmy power hour crossover episodes, some pretty sweet behind the scenes stuff, and even the original pilot long thought to be lost to time until recently. And of course the video quality is excellent!Read full review...

My son grew up watching Jimmy Neutron, and he always loved it! So, when I found it, I simply HAD to buy it for him. It is still as funny as it before!

Think, Think, Think, BrainBlast!⚡️🧠Nostalgia hits hard!
Great series from our childhoods! Besides Spongebob this here was 1 of the top series I stayed up at night to watch episodes on Nick back in the days! Shout factory did a fantastic job with the release! Everything arrived as shown. Only problem was some of the discs coming loose from the case & not wanting to stick in correctly instead they keep coming loose:(
Whoever packed the copies could’ve done better. Wish we got a slipcover aswell. Still I don’t think Shout! Is to blame. Read full review...
