    I'm not too sure but I heard a rumour that new episodes of Earthworm Jim are going to be made.

    Its probably not true but seeing as it was the greatest cartoon ever back in the day I MUST KNOW!!!:D

    nooooooooooooo.... They always f*ck these cartoons up when they reboot them - TMNT, Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget are all prime examples...

    well the show was stoipped in its prime becaus ethey couldn't get enough funding from Fox.....so I'm guessing they had alot of ideas still left in production. Bad news is that Earthworm Jim was written by the same staff that wrote the simpsons at the time.

    Look at the Simpsons NOW its terrible. I just hope IF they start making new Earth worm Jim episodes, they'll be good!!!!

    No news on this as of yet, it is due to start this year, would be great to see all the original cast and characters back again,keep an eye on www.imdb.com, it usually has good info on things like this.

    I loved this show back in the day (especially Professor Monkey for a head).

    I even had the Earthworm Jim game on my Sega Megadrive

    I grew up with the '87 version and just love the way the characters were portrayed... In retrospect, it's probably just my preference, there's nothing wrong with the new TMNT, I guess I'm just used to the older one and don't like change...

    I heard it was just an idea. Don't know if they have been commissioned by any television network but I'm sure we will find out within the next few months.....hopfully :rolleyes:

    They announced back in 2008 that they would be re-launching EWJ with a new game, animated series and feature film with input from Doug TenNapel, EWJ creator: http://www.interplay.com/about/article.php?id=23

    Since then there has been absolutely no update on the re-launch. A remake of the original EWJ (EWJ HD) has recently been released but this was completely unconnected to the relaunch i think.

    Personally, I'm not gonna hold my breath for more Jim although if EWJ HD is successful enough you never know
