Old Saturday Morning Cartoons You've Definitely Forgotten About

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

This was one of Cartoon Networks weirder show pitches. Billy and Mandy (2000) are a pair of young friends (barely) who befriend the Grim Reaper after defeating him in a limbo contest. His punishment for losing is befriending the two weird kids. Mandy's bossy and mean nature if offset by Billy's curious attitude and goofy sense of the world. Together, hilarious escapades are bound to happen.
