Jimmy Two-Shoes

Jimmy Two-Shoes (also known as JTS or as Jimmy Cool in most parts of Europe, Asia, and Israel) is a Canadian animated children's television series created by Edward Kay and Sean Scott. It was produced by Breakthrough Entertainment and animated by Mercury Filmworks and Elliott Animation. It aired on Disney XD in the United States, Teletoon in Canada, and Jetix (later Disney Channel) and Disney XD in Eurasia. The series centers on the exploits of the happy-go-lucky title character, who lives in Miseryville, a miserable town filled with monsters and demon-like creatures.

The series originally premiered in the United States on February 13, 2009, and in Canada on March 21, 2009. The final episode aired on July 15, 2011 in the United States, and April 5, 2012 in Canada, with reruns continuing until December 2017.

The series follows the adventures of Jimmy, a happy-go-lucky boy who makes it his mission to find fun everywhere he goes. This is a challenge because Jimmy lives in Miseryville, the unhappiest town around, run by the megalomaniacal Lucius Heinous the Seventh. Miseryville has one main industry: Misery Inc., purveyors of putrid products guaranteed to cause grief; and they do not come with a money-back guarantee. Along with his best friends Heloise (part-time genius, full-time soul-crusher who is secretly in love with Jimmy) and Beezy (adventure lover, couch potato, and Jimmy's definitive best friend, who is also Lucius' son), Jimmy is determined to surf past all obstacles and bring his infectious enthusiasm to the whole town.

Some of the key characters from the show are:

According to Edward Kay, a 6-minute not-for-air demo was funded by one of the investors with the intention that the series would be a black comedy for an older youth audience. The original concept for Jimmy Two-Shoes has the location taking place in Hell, where Jimmy is accidentally sent after his untimely death. Several characters from this initial pitch have similar appearances yet different, darker attributes from their finalized television counterparts. The concept was later re-worked and revamped, with many of the mature elements removed, as it was considered too "edgy" for a 6-11 market. The pilot was found on May 4, 2025, and can be viewed on Edward Kay's YouTube channel.

Jimmy Two-Shoes was broadcast in Canada on Teletoon on its English and French-language channels, in the latter case under the name of Jimmy l'Intrépide. In the United States, it aired on Disney XD, premiering on February 13, 2009. The show began broadcasting in the United Kingdom and Ireland on April 18, 2009, on Jetix, in pair with the show's premiere in the rest of Europe on the same channel. In most of Europe, the series was called Jimmy Cool and it aired mainly on Jetix, Disney Channel, and Disney XD; in Italy, Jimmy Jimmy, and in France it is Jimmy l'Éclate. The New Zealand premiere was in 2010 on TVNZ. The show aired in Southeast Asia on Cartoon Network and Latin America on Nickelodeon starting October 5, 2009; the series had been pre-sold to the channel in 2007. In the MENA, the series aired on MBC 3.

A DVD of the series was released on May 28, 2013.

On June 26, 2017, Jimmy Two-Shoes debuted on Qubo.
