The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (commonly referred to as Billy & Mandy) is an animated TV series created by Maxwell Atoms. It was the second installment in the Billy & Mandy franchise. The show continued. There were 78 episodes made before the show ended with the Underfist movie (52, if you subtract the original Grim & Evil seasons).
Premise[]
The show is about two young children named Billy and Mandy who managed to force the mighty legendary Grim Reaper himself to be their best friend forever, by beating him in a game of Limbo in Limbo to compete for the life of Mr. Snuggles (Billy's ten-year-old hamster). Now that Grim is stuck with the kids as his "forever best friends", his life has been turned upside down. The kids end up having to deal with everyday problems as they go through elementary school as well as combating various grotesque monsters, to beautiful goddesses, to spectral exterminators from within and outside the Underworld.
Most episodes focus on Billy and Mandy either using Grim's various supernatural powers for their personal gain, stealing precious artifacts from his chest or traveling to forbidden planes of existence.

- In "Ultimate Evil", When Ghastly explained how one of the consequences of Hector's current plan would end in death, she projected a picture of Grim on a hologram.
- In "Gridlocked and Loaded", a bobble head of Grim was seen. During the ending credits, Billy was in the car next to General Skarr, making annoying faces at him and even mooning him, before Skarr decided to blow him up with his death ray.

Trivia[]
- In the ending credits, there is a secret message which is played backwards. When played normally it will say; "No, no. This is the end of the show. You're watching it backwards." The voice is none other than series creator, Maxwell Atoms.
- Atoms stated in a 2014 blog that if he could bring back the series, he would like to work on other projects. In 2021, he tried to pitch a grand finale movie to Cartoon Network, but they turned it down because they believed modern viewers were not familiar with the franchise.
