* yes and the fact that lucy (seems a lot like the short form of lucifer. ) If they where allowed to i think they would outright call it hell or a hell like place. Knowing american tv even saying the word hell in a kids cartoon is considered a swear. Remember the edited dbz Hfil? yeah it's pretty obvious.another way of look at it would be to compare it to planet fire from the lex. pretty much hell in a nutshell

\n** Well, WordOfGod is Heloise's "a bit of a shapeshifter" (which was more or less confirmed in "The Hooded Chicken"), so it appears she only has feet when she needs to. Otherwise, she's perfectly fine with slithering around or something like that.

** Not neccessarly. It could just mean that Hell isn't located on Earth.

* So, according to WordOfGod, Lucius has some pretty terrifying powers, to the point where he can remake Miseryville on a whim. The only reason he doesn't use them is to prove he can rule without them. Fair enough, that sounds perfectly IC for Lucius. But it raises the question as to why he hasn't used these in some other circumstances. In both ''Rocket Jimmy'' and ''Air Force None'' he's put into some life threatening situations that he could easily get out of with these powers, but doesn't, even when he's clearly panicking. Is he really willing to die before he admits he needs them?

* Anybody else notice how the ''water'' is OffModel in the episode ''Wish You Weren't Here''? It's blue instead of red. It was probably just a mistake on the animator's part, but it still kind of bothers me.

* Does anyone think Jimmy acted kind of OOC in ''Heloise, Shmeloise''? I mean, most of the episode with the ObliviousToLove thing even in the most obvious circumstances was IC, but throwing Heloise in a mud puddle so Shmeloise and himself could literally walk over her seems veering into {{jerkass}} territory.

* Has WordOfGod actually confirmed the whole "Heloise and Jimmy were humans that got hit by a bus and were sent to hell together" thing? The show seems to imply that Jimmy came there from some other location, the second theme song states, "He's not from around here, if you know what I mean!" and in ''Bird Brained'' Heloise of all people sarcastically says, "Remind me where you're from, again?" when Jimmy is surprised that Miseryville birds can talk. WordOfGod confirmed that Heloise is human, so if she died at the same time Jimmy did, why would she ask that?

* Why are Jimmy and Heloise seemingly the only humans in Miseryville? Did no other humans ever get sent to hell?

* As much as I enjoy the show, why on earth did Edward Kay and Sean Scott try to make a cartoon about Hell for kids? I've seen sketches on concept art (Adolf Hitler was one of the characters sketched!) and some of it is actually really violent and disturbing (Jimmy tearing of his own skin with blood, serial killers making up the cast). Not to mention the pilot is obviously Hell (as opposed to being similar/probably) and anyone would tell you that is completely non-kid-friendly. Were they trying to test religious censors, pitching their idea to the wrong channel, or just being stupid/edgy?
** I would guess that they couldn't get an adult cartoon airedf

** Well, apparently, ''Jimmy Two-Shoes'' was originally meant for a tween/teen audience similar to some contemporary Teletoon cartoons like ''Fred's Head'', ''Total Drama'', and ''[=6Teen=]'' - all of which really pushed on the definition of "kids" show (Teletoon seemed to be trying for edgier cartoons in the mid and late 2000s). Teletoon ''approved'' of the pilot version, but Disney bowlderized it for international distribution. Additionally, a lot of the sketched concepts by Phil Postma (like Hitler) were never meant to be used. They were just exercises in capturing the intended dark-comedy mood.

* In the episode where Miseryville is taken over by an evil doll, why does Lucius say "Good work, Two-Shoes" at the end when it was Samy who defeated the doll? You could argue that Lucius never appreciates Samy, but the same applies to Jimmy, so what gives?

** Maybe the All-Merciful God hypothesis holds true in-universe, and Hell is for demons only. WordOfGod is that Jimmy is there by accident and Heloise is AmbiguouslyHuman. Wait a minute, what if Heloise is one of the Nephilim...

*** If the red water is lava, why is it a perfectly safe recreational activity to drink and swim in it? Wait a minute... if Miseryville is Hell, then perhaps it was originally just people being tortured in the lava under Lucius I, and the land was somehow added in when people got too used to swimming in lava to be made miserable by it.

**** They never said it was the Himalayas. They called the bread "Himalayan bread", but this could just be CallASmeerpARabbit since the mountains themselves are unnamed.

Added DiffLines:

** Lucius also doesn't really ''want'' Jimmy in Miseryville, as he constantly tries to make it happier and usually succeeds. Presumably Jimmy is allowed to stay due to his friendship with Beezy and Heloise, but he's welcome to leave at any time.

*** I would expect that in 2 years there would be time for a fair few people to end up there, enough to be noticeable, if it's a time issue. Makes more sense if it's how miserable they are.
