TheLittleSongbird I am a huge animation fan, and consider some animated films and shows some of my favourites ever. Earthworm Jim, the underrated gem it is, is no exception. Even as a child, I admired how bizarre it was but also how brilliantly written and animated it was. Revisiting it after goodness knows how long, I still do. The animation is truly excellent, with bold colours, audacious backgrounds and sharp and unique character designs. The music is a delight too, the main theme is well and truly memorable and the incidental music is cleverly and imaginatively composed.The story lines are outstanding. They were well paced, being very brisk and original, a refreshing retread from being predictable and contrived. I also love the characters. Jim is a moron at times, but he is also very charming, likable and witty, while Peter Puppy is adorable, Jim's girlfriend doesn't fall into the trap of being clichéd and the villains are outrageously fun in their motives, how they're voiced and animated and even in their names.What made Earthworm Jim in my opinion was in its writing. This is one brilliantly written show, not only in the dialogue which is superb and enthusiastically delivered but in the surreal gags and post modern humour and inspired spoofs. The voice acting consistently is top notch, especially Dan Castallenetta who is perfect as Jim. To conclude, Earthworm Jim is a gem, and deserves to be better known than it is. 10/10 Bethany Cox

RayrayUK Earthworm Jim is a series steamed from a popular early 90s video game which managed to score a 100% satisfactory grade from a game magazine.The storyline, which is incorporated in the theme song, is about an ordinary earthworm, who is lucky enough to have a super suit, meant for an evil doer on another planet fall on him, giving him super powers. He teams up with a cursed puppy, a living blob of snot and a beautiful space princess he has fallen in love with, together they fight evil villains throughout space and protect the planet Earth.Many parody central series (not mentioning many names) fail in epic proportions down to their key element, the lack of story line, yet where many fail, 'Earthworm Jim' triumphs.The reason I feel 'Earthworm Jim' manages to gain attention among other 'random' series' is the fact that we get to know all characters, their connections to each other, their circumstances and intentions in brief yet detailed scenes. With wacky scenarios and reoccurring villains, viewers know what to expect without feeling disappointed by predictability.

EarthwormJimFan One of my favorite cartoons of all time, along with Rocko's Modern Life and Beavis and Butt-Head. I was ecstatic to find all four VHS tapes at a discount dollar store. I hadn't seen this terrific cartoon in nearly a decade. It was a laugh a minute! Uproaroiusly funny! The jokes were ingenious! The characters were awesome! Especially Jim himself, he was immensely lovable! After watching the tapes I once again displayed my beloved EJ action figures and EJ poster. I could just go on for a long time about how much I love this cartoon! If only they could put the complete series on DVD. That would mean a lot to me and many other EWJ fans. BOTTOM LINE: It's, as our humble hero would say... GUH-ROOVY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Op_Prime This show is of course based on the video games of the same name. I only have one question abut this show. Why did the cancel this show? It was hilarious and clever. The show had a great assortment of characters too. Every time I watched this show, I fell over laughing with aching sides. I hope this show comes back to the air waves someday.
