Grim
Episode 1 (Original broadcast date: August 24, 2001)
Mandy's Comment: Shut up! Prepare for the show.

1A. Meet the Reaper
Created, written and directed by Maxwell Atoms
When the Grim Reaper shows up to take the soul of Billy's aging hamster, Billy's friend Mandy refuses to turn the animal over. Instead, she challenges the skeletal figure: they will play a game and if she and Billy lose, Grim gets the hamster (and incidentally, Billy as well). But if she wins, they get to keep the hamster. Considering his victory inevitable, Grim tells Mandy that he will be their best friend forever if he loses. And lose he does, because it turns out that Mandy is ever so much better at cheating than Grim is.
1B. Evil Con Carne
Created, written and directed by Maxwell Atoms
Hector Con Carne orders his staff mad scientist, Major Doctor Ghastly, to build him a new body after Boskov the Bear screws up Con Carne's latest plan for world domination by heading for food instead of battle.
1C. Skeletons in the Water Closet
Created, written and directed by Maxwell Atoms
Billy's mom, Gladys, keeps catching sight of Grim in the house and has a nervous breakdown when no one else seems to see him. (Gladys is played by Jennifer Hale, who is also the voice of Ms. Keane on Powerpuff Girls)


Episode 2 (Original broadcast date: August 31, 2001)
Mandy's Comment: It is useless to resist.

2A. Opposite Day
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Mike Stern
Grim can't quite get the hang of Opposite Day, a day during which you must do the opposite of whatever you say. He keeps on falling into the trap of telling the kids what he doesn't want to do -- which, according to "the rules", means he DOES want to do it -- and they make him do it, too, no matter how hard he cries!
2B. Emotional Skarr
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Bob Camp and Joe Garantia
Major Doctor Ghastly calls her latest world-domination device Enrique, Jr., but General Skarr, Con Carne's Chief of Staff, uses the giant robot dog (modeled after Con Carne's tiny little chihauhau, Enrique) to attempt to kill Boskov and Con Carne instead of trying to take over the world with it.
2C. Look Alive!
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Paul McEvoy
Grim decides to apply for a part-time job modeling swimsuits and believes he has hit it big when he lands a part in a swimsuit commercial -- "Swim-Swam Trunks, They're for Hunks."
Episode 3 (Original broadcast date: September 7, 2001)
Mandy's Comment: What're you looking at?
3A. Mortal Dilemma
Written by Amy Rogers; Storyboard by Micheal [sic] Diederich
Having been ordered by Mandy not to do any more grim reaping, Grim tries becoming "one of the good guys" but he just ends up scaring everyone half to death -- not only the bad guys, but the people he tries to help as well.
3B. Evil Goes Wild
Written by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Greg Muller
Boskov is captured by park rangers and put in the zoo, where (true to form) Con Carne mobilizes the other captive bears to take over the world.
3C. Get Out of My Head
Written and storyboarded by Maxwell Atoms
Grim teaches Billy how to jump into other people's heads in order to take over their bodies, and when Billy tries out the technique on Mandy, her personality takes an immediate turn for the extremely peculiar. This is the only episode in which Mandy has ever smiled! (And it's really just Billy anyway.)


Episode 4 (Original broadcast date: October 5, 2001)
Mandy's Comment: It's cruel AND unusual.

4A. The Smell of Vengeance, part 1
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Greg Muller

4B. Fiend Is Like Friend Without the 'R'
Written Craig Lewis; Storyboard by Paul McEvoy
Grim is at first absolutely delighted when Nergal, an evil yet powerful force from the fiery center of the earth's core, decides to take the kids to be HIS friends forever.

Note: Nergal is actually a powerful but lonely mythical god of the Mesopotamian Underground! Check him out HERE

5B. Recipe for Disaster
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Mike Diederich
Grim joins Mandy's and Billy's Person Scout Troop and goes along with them on the annual cookie drive. Billy manages to eat all the cookies before they can deliver even one box, so Grim volunteers to bake replacement cookies using his Aunt Kali's secret ingredients, which he swears will make the best-tasting cookies in the world.
5C. Devolver, part 2
Written by Maxwell Atoms; Storyboard by Bob Camp
Skarr devolves all the way down to a virus before Major Doctor Ghastly can restore him. (Watch how far down the evolutionary chain he makes it before he turns into a lawyer.)


Episode 6 (Original broadcast date: October 19, 2001)
Mandy's Comment: Happiness is a waxen, two-headed baby.

6A. Tiptoe Through the Tulips, part 1
Written by Vincent Davis; Storyboard by Bob Camp
Boskov goes into hibernation on the very day Con Carne has set for the invasion of the world.
6B. A Dumb Wish
Written and storyboarded by Paul McEvoy
Billy accidentally unleashes the Grim Family Curse: Grim's mother, who has been imprisoned in a little lamp for thousands of years. As a reward for her freedom, she grants Billy, Mandy and Grim three wishes -- one to each. Billy wastes his wish by wishing he knew what to wish for. When Grim and Billy start to bicker over what Grim's wish should be, Mandy grabs the lamp and wishes they would both shut up -- and since Grim can't talk anymore, Mandy is also allowed to make the final wish. Instead of wishing that Grim and Billy could talk again, Mandy says she will grant the third wish to either Grim or Billy -- whoever of the two makes her the happiest. The voice of Grim's mother is Candi Milo, one of several people who have done the voice of Dexter, on Dexter's Laboratory.
6C. Tiptoe Through the Tulips, part 2
Written by Vincent Davis; Storyboard by Bob Camp

8A. Grim or Greg
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Shellie Kvilvang

8B. Search & Estroy
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Alex Almaguer
Con Carne's "next-island neighbor" lives on macho Skull Island (instead of wimpy Bunny Island), has a better fortress (shaped like a skull, instead of a bunny) and when it turns out Estroy is also always one step ahead when it comes to inventing machines of destruction, Con Carne sends Skarr to steal the plans for the neighbor's next creation.
8C. Something Stupid This Way Comes
Story by Craig Lewis; Storyboard by Maxwell Atoms
In a send-up of the Ray Bradbury story about an evil carnival coming to town, Nergal returns as the head of a fair that pops right out of the ground. He is still lonely, so Billy volunteers to give him lessons on how to make friends and influence people, using the 5 C's of Friendship: Cleanliness, Compliments, Consideration, Conversation and, um, Sharing.


Episode 9 (Original broadcast date: August 2, 2002)
Mandy's Comment: Submit, or be destroyed.

9A. A Grim Surprise
Story by Rob DeSales; Storyboard by John McIntyre
Billy convinces an unenthusiastic Grim to help him plan a surprise party for Mandy's birthday. To his astonishment, Grim actually enjoys the party preparations until he finds out that Mandy's birthday is not for five more months. (That's what makes it a surprise, get it?) Keep an eye out for the Grim/Grinch connection.
9B. Everyone Loves Uncle Bob
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Trevor Wall
Con Carne takes over a Mr. Rogers-type kiddie show in an attempt to rule the world by first winning over the children.
9C. Beasts and Barbarians
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Michael Diederich
Unable to pry Billy and Irwin away from a computer game that they've been playing (and losing) for 3 days straight, Mandy orders Grim to stage an intervention. Figuring that a dose of the real thing ought to solve the problem, Grim transports the children to an alternate dimension filled with real demons and monsters. That does eventually scare Billy and Irwin right out of their game addiction. However, while there, Mandy manages to obtain a ring that gives her the power to summon vast and horrible armies of the undead who must obey her every command.


Episode 10 (Original broadcast date: August 9, 2002)
Mandy's Comment: I want all your garmonbosia.

(Mandy must be a closet Twin Peaks fan, because garmonbosia, meaning pain and sorrow, is a term that appears to have been coined by David Lynch for the short-lived mystery series Twin Peaks.)

10A. Hoss Delgado: Spectral Exterminator
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Brian Kindregan
Hoss Delgado, a sort of ghostbuster on steroids, catches sight of Grim ("the motherlode of supernatural terror") with Mandy and Billy and jumps to the logical but totally erroneous conclusion that Grim has some kind of hold over the two children.
10B. Evil on Trial
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Mucci Fasset
General Skarr turns Con Carne in to the FBI when he finds out that Con Carne is "the World's 23rd Most Wanted" criminal with a large cash bounty on his head. When it turns out no lawyer on earth will defend Con Carne, he finds himself in court defended by Major Doctor Ghastly -- and prosecuted by the Cod Commando.
10C. To Eris Human
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Chris Savino
Grocery shopping for socks with Billy at the mall (don't ask), Grim and Mandy run into Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. Eris teaches Mandy her first and only rule: "Everyone's A Target," and Mandy absorbs the lesson so well she manages to turn the motto against the goddess herself.

Note: read about the Greek goddess Eris Kallisti Discordia HERE


Episode 11 (Original broadcast date: October 4, 2002)
Mandy's Comment: Sometimes you drink the milk, sometimes the milk drinks you.

11C. Billy and the Bully
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Brett Varon
Billy asks Grim to take on the school bully, a mean boy named Sperg with a deadly wedgie. When Grim can't deal with Sperg either (due to certain issues from his childhood), Mandy takes on Sperg herself. Grim's mom returns in a flashback.


Episode 12 (Original broadcast date: October 11, 2002)
Mandy's Comment: Avert your eyes.

12A. Big Trouble in Billy's Basement
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Chris McColloch
Despite several warnings, Billy cannot resist looking through Grim's copy of "The Bad Book: The Official Illustrated Handbook of the Underworld." The book takes over his mind, causing him to free the evil being, Yog Sothoth. Because Billy is now too powerful for Grim to handle alone, Mandy summons Hoss Delgado to help.

Note: Yog-Sothoth is actually a character from the fertile imagination of H.P. Lovecraft; read a bit about it HERE

12B. Christmas Con Carne
Written by Gord Zajac / Storyboarded by Alex Algamauer
The only episode I've ever seen run without opening credits or a title, although they corrected that oversight in reruns, after they split Evil off from Grim and started putting three Evil episodes together as one show. Rupert the Green-Nosed Reindeer saves Christmas when Hector Con Carne tries to ruin it. Rupert: Michael Dorn.
12C. Tickle Me Mandy
Story by Gord Zajac; Storyboard by Mucci Fassett
Although he knows Mandy is only going to be away for one night, Billy misses her so much that Grim animates a New Mandy for him to play with.
