In Season 2, there are no interludes, most likely due to time constrains. Some of these interludes would feature cameos from Earthworm Jim. In the show's first season, halfway through all but one episode, there would be a small interlude which would feature a villain going through various situations (Psy-Crow advertising a superhero treatment center, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head telling a bedtime story to his monkey or even Bob the Killer Goldfish trying to educate the other fish on his home planet).
Jim must also often rescue Peter or the Princess from recurring villains also in the games.Īlthough the majority of notable characters from the game return in the cartoon, some do not, such as Snott's evil uncle Major Mucus, and Chuck and Fifi, presumably because Jim had already defeated them once-and-for-all in the games. Like in the video games, many of the Universe's greatest villains hunt Jim in an attempt to get the super suit. Snott is also present at Jim's hideout in Terlawk. The role of Peter Puppy is greatly expanded in the cartoon, with Peter serving as Jim's sidekick in his adventures. By the time of the pilot episode, Earthworm Jim has already long since been transformed into a superhero by the super suit, and is already in a strange romantic relationship with Princess What's-Her-Name, with Jim being obsessed, and the Princess being perpetually confused. No origin story is presented, except within the lyrics of the opening theme song to the every episode. The plot of the cartoon followed a similar plot to the video games. The series is currently distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution. The cartoon was broadcast in the Republic of Ireland on RTE Two in 1997. In the United Kingdom, it was shown on Channel 4 and TCC ( The Children's Channel) in the 90s, and as of 2000's, the show has seen occasional reruns on Nickelodeon. In the United States, the show was aired on Kids' WB, the children's block of The WB Television Network. The television series was based on characters created for the video games by Doug TenNapel, developed as a series by Doug Langdale, and produced by David Perry, the latter of whom had also produced the video game series. The television series was produced by Universal Animation Studios along with AKOM and Flextech Television Limited, in association with Shiny Entertainment and Playmates Toys (the toy line was released at the same time).
