What went wrong? Was it that unsalvageable?

>>150265522 (OP)
Sheen isn't enough to carry an entire show.

>>150265522 (OP)
Why post this when the answer has been told several times?
Planet Sheen had a fucked up production, more than any Nicktoon.
>The show was originally called Red Acres, and was going to be about a fast good worker stranded in space, but Nick forced them to change the main character to Sheen as they wanted a familiar face.
>Similarly, Carl was going to be in the show alongside Sheen, but Nick executives didn't allow it, which is why there is a an alien that looks and acts exactly like Carl in the show.
>The show was originally going to be more serious. The Emperor was evil, Aseefa was the leader of a resistance group, and Sheen was a double agent working for both sides. This was changed because it was too close to Avatar (the James Cameron film, not that other Nicktoon). Had they not scrapped it, it most likely would've been as successful as the original series.
>There was going to be a TV movie about Jimmy and the gang going to rescue Sheen, but due to low ratings, production costs and several writers moving on, it was cancelled.

And this was the original theme song

Before retarded Nick executives rejected it and went with this atrocity

John A. Davis, creator of Jimmy Neutron disowns this show and stated that Sheen is a character that only works in smal dosis. This show also killed the career of Steve Oedekerk and bankrupted O Entertainment.

Remove Sheen

Sheen is a gag character who's fun for a bit, but not good as a series head.
That basically killed the show from day one, but from what I remember from watching it as a kid, the show wasn't even good so it couldn't of lasted.

>Carl was going to be in the show but Nick didn't allow it
What a weird fucking hangup to have. Wouldn't they still have forbad a character that's just an obvious expy of him?

>"the entire experience (of making Planet Sheen) was so wrought with lies, inflated ego and backstabbing it became a lowlight in my career." - Keith Alcorn in an interview with Jeffrey Kare, circa 2019
He did not clarify what that meant.

Let alone an episode of Jimmy Neutron

Fuck you mean, Sheen's Brain was great

wtf do they have against my man Carl?

People blame Sheen but they could have made an Ultra Lord spinoff and used him there.

Zamn, that would've been the PERFECT direction for a spin-off. The Jimmy Neutron crew should've hopped on that opportunity when they had the chance

I thought princess Oom and her giant tongue were hot. Wish I were Sheen.

>>150265522 (OP)
This has fuckall to do with Jimmy Neutron in terms of tone and writing. Usually spinoffs try to keep the spirit of the main show.

Just you wait. In 2020 the nostalgia cycle will kick in and the generation that grew up watching it will flood the board and say it's an underrated masterpiece and better than the original show.

No one watched Planet Sheen.

>>150265552
>Ok we want to make an original show-
>No, you have to use Sheen from your previous one
>Ok, Sheen and Carl are kind of a duo of Jimmy's friends so we'll have them tog-
>No, you can't use Carl, even though we just forced you to use Sheen
??????

What do you mean? The pilot had over 3 million viewers

>>150272652
To asspul some kind of explanation: They were probably thinking this could be a mega hit and were planning to greenlight more spin offs with Jimmy Neutron characters, and if Carl was stuck in this show, they'd have a harder time using him.

Actually they didn't want an adult be the main character, but rather wanted a teenager or a kid.

That and along with DNA productions being shut down after Ant Bully flopped.
