Grim & Evil is an American animated television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. It consists of two segments which were eventually spin off into their own series, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy deals with the adventures of two young children respectively named Billy and Mandy who, after celebrating the birthday of Billy's pet hamster, bet that the Grim Reaper would lose to them in Limbo at his own game of limbo in an effort to save the hamster. Billy and Mandy win the bet, and Grim becomes their "best friend forever" as part of their deal. Evil Con Carne follows the adventures of Hector Con Carne, a wealthy playboy whose body is destroyed in a tremendous explosion. His only surviving organs are his brain and stomach, which have been placed in jars and attached to a circus bear named Boskov. The show premiered on August 24, 2001, and ended its first 13-episode run on October 18, 2002. There was also another batch of 13 episodes made for the show, but were aired on Cartoon Network when the show was split into both shows in 2003. Season 2 was aired in the UK on October 20, 2003.
