PROFILE
ABOUT JIMMY TWO-SHOES
What happens when you take an overly optimistic, thrill-seeking kid and plunk him down in Miseryville, the meanest, nastiest place around? You get the hilarious animated series Jimmy Two-Shoes! Along with his oddball best friends, Heloise and Beezy, Jimmy manages to breeze through all the doom and gloom to spread his raucous enthusiasm to the whole town. Despite the best efforts of the maniacal Lucius Heinous VII, Miseryville's overlord-in-chief, Jimmy just keeps finding ways to make misery fun again!

FUN FACTS
- Jimmy performs most of his own stunts, though the producers keep a stash of disposable Jimmy clones nearby for high-risk sequences.
- Beezy J. Heinous originally auditioned for the role of Jimmy, but his diva-like refusal to wear a T-shirt lost him the role.
- Although she's Queen Meanie, Heloise loves to indulge in the art of yodeling. Look for her album to drop in the spring.
- Lucius credits his fabulously miserable lifestyle as the secret to maintaining a healthy red complexion.
