Earthworm Jim (Season 3)

== Overview ==
Earthworm Jim retains the absurdist and surreal humor of the games as well as introducing its own features. Most episodes involve the series' numerous villains attempting to reclaim the super suit, rule/destroy/freeze/knock over the universe, or otherwise causing mayhem throughout the galaxy. Other problems facing Jim include returning his neighbor's eggbeater and finding a new power source after his suit is depowered. Also, the show breaks the fourth wall with characters often talking to the audience and the narrator. The theme for the season is from the failed US pilot of Red Dwarf
Episodes begin with Earthworm Jim and Peter Puppy in some peril that has nothing to do with the main plot or the previous episodes, with little explanation of how they got into the mess. In between parts (generally before or after the commercial break), there is a short side-story, generally featuring one of the villains doing a more natural part of life, usually without any involvement from Jim. These can range anywhere from Psy-Crow opening a villainy school, Evil the Cat falling in love with a TV star, or Professor Monkey for a head attending group therapy and always ending with "and now, back to Earthworm Jim." The end of some of the episodes involves Jim or any other character being crushed by a cow, a play on the first game of the series (in the first stage, the player launches a cow into the sky, only to have it crush the princess upon the game's ending).
== Charcters ==
* Earthworm Jim is the series' protagonist. For most of his life Jim was just an ordinary earthworm until one day his life was changed forever. A fearsome bounty hunter named Psy-Crow was en route to deliver the "Super Suit" (technically titled "Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit") to Queen Slug-For-A-Butt but got in a confrontation with another space ship and lost the suit out of an airlock. The suit fell down to Earth, where Jim happened to crawl in and discovered newfound powers granted by the suit, mainly the strength and dexterity of a human
* Peter Puppy is an anthropomorphic dog with the ability to transform into a large monstrous at (intsed of form whenever he is hurt or scared), In episode 14 of the series, it was revealed that Peter was originally an ordinary puppy until a trans-dimensional portal sent him to the Planet Heck where Evil the Cat infected him with a dog demon that granted him his anthropomorphic form and intelligence, but turns him into his monster form whenever under extreme stress.In the first two seasons,he wore black pants and a green shirt,while in this season he wears blube pants,a white shirt & a red overcoat. He liked jazz and played the banjo.
* Snott is a green blob of a mucus-like substance with eyes and a mouth. He lives in the backpack of Jim's super suit and is his trusted friend and ally.
* Princess What's-Her-Name appears only briefly in the ending of the first video game but reappears in its sequel, in which she is kidnapped.She had the strength of ten men and was a bit prickly towards Earthworm Jim in her TV show incarnation, but warmed up eventually. She was more independent and strong. She had a bit of a back-story which was a nice development. Exiled at birth, became a renegade freedom fighter. Chewed gum. Played cards on the weekends. That sort of thing.
* Queen Slug-For-A-Butt is one of the main enemies of Jim. She had planned on using the "super suit" to conquer the universe. Thus, once it comes into Jim's possession, she intends to destroy Jim, and reclaim the suit. She is the first game's final boss and the sister of the Princess. Her full name is listed as Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed Slug-For-A-Butt.
* Psy-Crow is an intergalactic bounty hunter and mercenary, most often employed by Queen Slug-For-A-Butt. In the first Earthworm Jim game, he engaged Jim in a space race between levels, and would fight him if he beat Jim in the race.[49] In the sequel, he kidnaps the Princess and competes with Jim in an obstacle course to be her husband.[49]
