Please sign this petition to bringing Jimmy Neutron back
Please sign. It would me a lot for me and Jimmy fans across the world.
Jimmy Neutron helped children, teens, and adults reach for their dreams and taught us that anything is possible if we put our minds to it. We don't have any more shows like this on television which is truly sad. We hope that Nickelodeon will take our project seriously and consider bringing the show back.

Online petitions are like miracle diets: they don't work. Signatures don't bring cancelled shows back from the abyss. Only $$$$$$$$$$$$ can do that. The only way that one could get a cancelled series back into production would be to somehow convince The Powers That Be that a substantial profit could still be made from it. The best petition that anyone can muster is their cash.
Jimmy Neutron ceased production 7 years ago and most of the cast and crew of JN have left the network and have moved on to other things. Plus, series which return after cancellation are rarely (if ever) as good as they were before they were canceled, and then fans would be complaining about the change in quality. And before anyone mentions Family Guy or Futurama, those shows are the exception, not the norm. FG and Futurama were brought back due their huge ratings that those series scored when the reruns were aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim coupled with the high sales of the series' DVDs. Furthermore, AS acquired both series less than 2 years after they ended production, while the episodes were still "fresh". If Jimmy Neutron brought in monster sized ratings in reruns, then it might be possible that Nick might consider a revival, but since JN has been done since 2006, I wouldn't count on that.
No, I think that it's best to let JN stay canceled. At the most one could contact Nickelodeon and try to convince the network to release a complete series DVD set. That seems like a more reasonable request.
As for teaching kids to follow their dreams and all of that good stuff, I'm sure that Nickelodeon has plenty of new and original shows which would accomplish that goal without the network having to go through the trouble and expense of trying to resurrect a dead franchise.

First, let's not confuse our wants with the network's needs. You may wantJimmy Neutron to get a revival on Nickelodeon, but it doesn't need to come back by any stretch of the imagination. There's no "should" in this case. The only thing Nick has to do is stay on top in the ratings and continue to pull in decent profits and revenues, and they don't need a brand-spanking new Jimmy Neutron series in order to accomplish that.
Second, yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but online petitions don't work. The only way Nickelodeon would ever consider bringing any show back would be if they thought a substantial profit could still be made from it. Petitions from fans don't bring shows back, money and ratings do. We aren't going to see a magical return of Jimmy Neutron, or any other finished Nicktoon from a bygone era for that matter, just because a few fans' nostalgia demands it.
Truth be told, Jimmy Neutron was never a monster-sized hit, not even in its' heyday. JN was a moderate hit at best. It did well enough to eke out 3 seasons on the air, but even at its' peak, the show wasn't in the elite class of favorite Nicktoons like Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob Sqaurepants or even Doug. The JN movie did OK, but it didn't set the world on fire. Any heat JN may have had at one time has since cooled off by now, and the harsh reality is that it was never super-hot to begin with.
The series had a good run: 3 seasons and 119 total episodes (43 full eps and 50 segments). That's more than many shows get. Be thankful for that instead of trying to beat a dead horse.
For anyone wishing to relive Jimmy Neutron, I would suggest campaigning for a proper DVD release of the show (if one doesn't already exist). That's more reasonable than expecting Nick to revive a long-dead show that's been out of production for 7 years now. Too much time has transpired for Jimmy Neutron to just suddenly poof back into existence and be exactly like it was back in 2002. That doesn't happen.

No, it doesn't. Not Unless these fans who sign this petition are going to finance a new Jimmy Neutron series themselves, which I highly doubt.
The only thing that would persuade Nick to revive JN, or any show, for that matter, would be massive sales of DVDs and other merchandise attached to the show and huge turnouts from viewers, and by viewers I mean the kids who are watching Nick now, not the obviously too old to be considered relevant internet fanbase.
All 3 seasons of JN are already on DVD. The series has been out of production since 2006. So again, what is collecting a bunch of signatures from people on the internet who are too old to be considered part of Nick's target audience supposed to accomplish? As far as Nick is concerned, you've gotten everything you could possibly want from them regarding JN already. If you're not a kid, it doesn't matter to Nick that you want a new JN series because Nick doesn't cater to adults.
And even if there were to be a JN revival, it would likely have different producers, directors and writers, cheaper animation and an entirely different tone, since the show's been out of production for so long and it would next to impossible to round up all of the original cast and crew. And do I even have to mention the putrid Planet Sheen? Why in the world would you even want something like that?

Only if those fans have Nielsen boxes in their homes and are still watching the show religiously and if the DVD and other merchandise are selling like hotcakes. It's DVD sales, toy sales and ratings numbers that equate to $. Online petitions accomplish nothing and they can't be relied upon because they're too easy to fake.
You're best bet would be for you write a handwritten letter to Nickelodeon requesting a Jimmy Neutron revival, but I wouldn't get my hopes up, since JN ran from 2002-2006, and most of the people with fond memories of JN are now too old and are too far outside of Nick's target demographic for Nick to care about what they want on the channel. The cold hard truth is that if you're over 13, you're invisible to Nick. Nick doesn't cater to the nostalgia crowd. At the most, you might be able to convince Nick to start airing the reruns on Nicktoons Network again.

Honestly, this is pretty much a reach and it's a matter of interpretation at the most. I wasn't present at any of the board meetings, but I'm pretty sure that Jimmy Neutron's producers and writers had no goal in mind for it's viewers other than for them to have fun watching it. It is possible to over think and to romanticize these things. I think you're likley viewing Jimmy Neutron through rose colored nostalgia glasses and are remembering this show as being more inspirational than it actually was, but like I said, it's a matter of interpretation.

Seriously?
Come on. The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was just a TV show. All TV shows end. That's just how it is. Circle of life. You'll find another TV show to glom onto.
The time to have campaigned for a JN revival would have been back in 2006, when the show had just ended. The show was still on peoples' lips, people were still buying the merch and things were still relatively 'fresh'. But too much time has passed since then, and the cast, crew and network have all moved on to other things. Jimmy Neutron belongs to a bygone era. There's not going to be a new season of JN, any more than there are going to be new seasons of Doug, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey, Arnold!, CatDog or any of those other old Nicktoons. Nick can't just loop the shows from 10 to 20 years ago forever; they have to make room for the new shows. There's no way Nick can stay on top and/or regain their former glory if they're stuck in the past.
The entire series is on DVD. Just buy the DVDs and be happy with that. Full seasons DVD releases from Nick are rare.

The hate on these forums is truly appalling. Some of you guys obviously haven't even done the research I've done or you wouldn't be saying some of these ridiculous things I'm reading here. I'm not directing this post towards everyone here because a few of you did make a few valid points, but I feel there's some things that need to be said.
I'm the one who created the JN revival project. Several other efforts are taking place on the internet for other Nick shows including projects to get Hey Arnold's Jungle Movie greenlit and Invader Zim put back on the air. Nick has taken notice of both of these because of how massive the fanbases for both of these shows are.
I hear the arguments that Family Guy is WAY better and all of that. I also hear the argument that Hey Arnold and Invader Zim have more fans than JN. This has nothing to do with Family Guy or Futurama or the fact that some shows had bigger fanbases than others. This is a project that I am passionate about and something I personally believe in. Petitions are not the only things I'm doing with my project. I have way more than that going on - I have a blog, Facebook fan page, I'm using paid ads...the whole nine yards. I know that petitions don't always work and so I most certainly thought ahead when I started this endeavor. That's why I've got so many other things going. And I have other plans up my sleeve I will be doing as well. Petitions are only a small part of what I'm doing.
You guys can hate and naysay all you want, but my project is moving forward. There's an old saying - if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.
Oh and FYI to the person who said the entire series is on DVD. It's not, dude - they only have best of sets that only contain certain episodes. The entire series has never been available.
Some of you all need to do some serious research before you start criticizing and speculating.
I'm getting off the old soap box, but that's my two cents, take it or leave it. Hate is one of the main reasons the animation community as a whole is not what it used to be. Let's get the hate out of JN and animation in general and discuss our shows that we enjoy in a more positive light. And if someone wants to spread the word about my project, don't hate on that individual for doing so. You don't have to agree with what I'm doing, but don't attack or criticize the individual who was sharing my petition links - that's just not a cool thing to do.

OK. I'm tired of this. These threads go no where. Every time is the same story. Someone posts about a petition or desire to see an older series come back, others post how stupid that is and how it will never happen, and it just goes round and round ad infinitum. As far as I'm concerned, EVERYONE in this thread is the reason I am closing this thread.
