'''''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'''''{{efn|Also shortened to simply '''''Billy & Mandy'''''}} is an American animated comedy horror television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. Set in the fictional town of Endsville, the series follows the titular two children named Billy and Mandy who, after winning a limbo game to save Billy's pet hamster, gain the mighty Grim Reaper as their "best friend forever". Grim, who is reluctant to serve the two children, has access to supernatural items, spells, and other abilities that often lead Billy and Mandy to interact with otherworldly environments, characters, or situations.

''Billy & Mandy'' began as a segment on ''Grim & Evil'', in which it and ''Evil Con Carne'' aired together. The series aired separately beginning June 13, 2003 and ended its run on November 9, 2007. There were also three television movies produced, including ''Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure'', along with a special episode, ''Underfist: Halloween Bash''.

During its run, the series won two Emmy Awards and one Annie Award, with nominations for one Daytime Emmy Award, three Golden Reel Awards, and two other Annie Awards. ''Billy & Mandy'' has also been made into a video game as well as various licensed merchandise.

== Premise == thumb|left|The series' main characters. From left to right: Billy, Mandy, and Grim. ''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'' takes place in the fictional town of Endsville and is known for its grimmer and unhinged surreal atmosphere. The series centers around the exploits of Billy (Richard Steven Horvitz), a dimwitted yet happy-go-lucky boy; his friend Mandy (Grey DeLisle), a deadpan, cynical, and cold-hearted girl; and their best-friend-by-obligation Grim (Greg Eagles), a begrudging Jamaican-accented Reaper who is reluctant to serve the two children. After Billy and Mandy cheated at a limbo match against Grim to save Billy's pet hamster (in retaliation for putting the limbo rod too low for them to go under), he is enslaved in an unwanted permanent friendship with the children.<ref name="CN">{{Cite web |title=The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy Characters |url=https://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/billymandy/characters/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120521124556/http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/billymandy/characters/index.html |archive-date=May 21, 2012 |access-date=May 26, 2012 |website=Cartoon Network}}</ref> Grim is miserable in the first days of his servitude, at times taking pleasure at the fantasy of killing them. However, he gradually adapts to the new life and even grows to care for Billy and Mandy, if only somewhat. Despite this, he desires to break free from his servitude.

Billy and Mandy use Grim's supernatural abilities and powers to venture into supernatural locations or environments, such as the Underworld, or the Netherworld, inhabited by an assortment of grotesque monstrous beasts. The duo also use Grim's enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters to achieve goals or desires for themselves, often with twisted results. Famed fictional monsters including Dracula, the Wolfman and the bogeyman are also comically depicted in the series.

Supporting characters include Irwin (Vanessa Marshall), Billy's nerdy best friend who has a crush on Mandy; Harold (Richard Steven Horvitz), Billy's initially apathetic father who shares his son's stupidity in later episodes; Gladys (Jennifer Hale), Billy's loving yet mentally unstable mother; Mindy (Rachael MacFarlane), the snobby, stuck-up, and spoiled queen bee of Billy and Mandy's school; Sperg (Greg Eagles), the local bully who has a sensitive side; Hoss Delgado (Diedrich Bader), an overly-intense "spectral exterminator" who hunts supernatural creatures; Nergal (David Warner/Martin Jarvis), a friendship-seeking demon who later marries Billy's aunt and bears a son, Nergal Jr. (Debi Derryberry); General Skarr (Armin Shimerman), Billy's ill-tempered next door neighbor who originated in the ''Evil Con Carne'' animated series; Eris (Rachael MacFarlane) the Goddess of Chaos who causes trouble for her own amusement; and Jeff (Maxwell Atoms), a giant spider constantly trying to win the approval of the arachnophobic Billy, whom he sees as his father.

The series lacks continuity for the most part, as many episodes end with characters killed, exiled, or stuck in a situation. Characters sometimes display awareness of some events from previous episodes, but there are no clear character arcs or coherent plot lines tying the show together.

== Production history == The genesis of ''Billy & Mandy'' occurred in 1995, when Maxwell Atoms, then a junior at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, made a two-minute short film for his thesis project. Titled ''Billy and Mandy in: The Trepanation of the Skull and You'', the film focuses on Mandy explaining trepanning to Billy in an advertising manner before he agrees to do it and is subsequently rendered unconscious. It was not shown publicly until 2016 at the first TromAnimation Film Festival.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Amidi |first=Amid |author-link=Amid Amidi |date=May 1, 2016 |title=Maxwell Atoms Reveals Lost Student Film That Inspired 'Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' |url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/maxwell-atoms-reveals-student-film-inspired-grim-adventures-billy-mandy-139336.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160503120120/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/maxwell-atoms-reveals-student-film-inspired-grim-adventures-billy-mandy-139336.html |archive-date=May 3, 2016 |access-date=May 2, 2016 |work=Cartoon Brew |language=en-US}}</ref> After the screening, Atoms uploaded the film to his YouTube channel, albeit in a deteriorating state after years of storage.

While working on the first season of ''Cow and Chicken'', Atoms was approached by Hanna-Barbera executives for ideas for new short films. Among the ideas he presented to Hanna-Barbera was "Milkman", centering on an anthropomorphic, superhero milk carton who saves the missing children depicted on his back. Though the idea was rejected, executives were interested in Billy and Mandy, two characters that were to be featured in the project.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Hester |first=Julian |date=January 14, 2022 |title=What's in My Head Podcast - Maxwell Atoms: The Creator of Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy! |url=https://rss.com/podcasts/nmyheadpod/362332/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231005154912/https://rss.com/podcasts/nmyheadpod/362332/ |archive-date=October 5, 2023 |access-date=2022-02-13 |website=RSS.com |language=en}}</ref> Atoms was prompted to devise a series centering on the two children. Feeling that the characters Billy and Mandy would not be enough to carry a show, he began devising a third character to round out the main cast. He was always fascinated by the idea of a little girl befriending the Devil or the Grim Reaper, but eventually settled on the latter, as Cartoon Network did not approve of depictions of the devil after ''Cow and Chicken''. Atoms pitched the ''Billy & Mandy'' concept to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, to which Cartoon Network approved the production of a short film 6 months later (which would become the short/pilot "Meet the Reaper").<ref name=":0" />

The show was put into full production after the result of a viewer poll event by way of telephone and the Internet called ''Cartoon Network's Big Pick'' which was held from June 16 to August 25, 2000.<ref name="Variety">{{Cite news |last=Dempsey |first=John |date=August 29, 2000 |title='Billy & Mandy' Beats Out 'Robot', 'Longhair' to Get Greenlight |url=https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/toon-net-oks-series-based-on-aud-votes-1117785699/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131003035900/http://variety.com/2000/tv/news/toon-net-oks-series-based-on-aud-votes-1117785699/ |archive-date=October 3, 2013 |access-date=May 31, 2013 |work=Variety}}</ref><ref name="AWN">{{Cite web |last=Raugust |first=Karen |date=March 29, 2007 |title=Billy, Mandy and Grim Head to the Movies |url=https://www.awn.com/animationworld/billy-mandy-and-grim-head-movies |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120185301/http://www.awn.com/articles/billy-mandy-and-grim-head-movies |archive-date=January 20, 2012 |access-date=May 28, 2012 |website=Animation World Network}}</ref> The three final choices were ''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'', ''Whatever Happened to...

Originally part of ''Grim & Evil'', ''Billy & Mandy'' served as the main show. In each episode, an ''Evil Con Carne'' short was put between two ''Grim'' shorts.<ref name="AWN" /> An original ''Evil Con Carne'' short was produced in 2000 after ''Meet the Reaper'', but Cartoon Network wanted to combine the series, to have a "B cartoon" as a middle segment.<ref name=":0" /> The series premiered on August 24, 2001, during the ''Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Big Pick Weekend''.

Another 13 half-hour episode order was produced for ''Grim & Evil''. On June 13, 2003, the network separated the two segments and gave each their own half-hour program.<ref name="AWN" /> The split came as a result of Cartoon Network wanting to move away from three 7-minute segments and focus on two 11-minute segments instead.<ref name=":0" /> After both series aired their respective new seasons, the network gave Atoms a decision to continue one series and drop the other from production. Atoms opted to continue ''Billy & Mandy'' and accepted the network's decision, as he considered running both shows stressful.<ref name=":0" />

''Evil Con Carne'' characters occasionally appear on ''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy''. General Skarr was introduced as a recurring character in season 2, where he became Billy's new next-door neighbor.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Skarred for Life |series=The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy |series-link=The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy |network=Cartoon Network |date=July 2, 2004 |season=2 |number=21b}}</ref> Another episode shows Ghastly, Hector, Boskov, and Stomach restarting their evil organization and convincing Skarr to rejoin them.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Company Halt |series=The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy |series-link=The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy |network=Cartoon Network |date=March 30, 2007 |season=6 |number=71a}}</ref>

Atoms, who had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in adulthood, stated that the series' three main characters harken to the autism spectrum. He compared Mandy to "the cold, rational way [he] learned to view the world in order to survive", Billy to "the fun and joyous inner-world where [he] likes to spend [his] time" and Grim as "the moral mediator between the two."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Atoms |first=Maxwell |author-link=Maxwell Atoms |date=21 September 2021 |title=Sparagmos Industries |url=https://maxwellatoms.tumblr.com/post/662948093499670528/regarding-the-last-question-about-bnm-not-having-a |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240409172806/https://maxwellatoms.tumblr.com/post/662948093499670528/regarding-the-last-question-about-bnm-not-having-a |archive-date=April 9, 2024 |access-date=24 March 2022 |website=Tumblr |quote=So yeah. Mandy's probably on the spectrum. As are Billy & Grim. Mandy is the cold, rational way I learned to view the world in order to survive. Billy is the fun and joyous inner-world where I like to spend my time. And Grim is the moral mediator between the two. It's really Id, Ego, and Superego to some degree. I haven't thought about that in a long time, but that was purposeful.}}</ref>

On March 20, 2022, Craig McCracken revealed that years ago Cartoon Network had plans for a spinoff series titled ''Cheeseburger'' featuring Fred Fredburger and Cheese from ''Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'', but the idea never gained traction.<ref>{{Cite tweet |number=1505403885980045312 |user=CrackMcCraigen |title=For a very brief time Carl Greenblatt and I were developing a Cheese and Fred Fredburger series called Cheeseburger... |first=Craig |last=McCracken |author-link=Craig McCracken |date=March 20, 2022}}</ref>
