Grim & Evil is a fun American cartoon show created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. It's actually two different shows combined into one! These two parts eventually became their own separate series: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne.
The show first aired on August 24, 2001. It finished its original run on October 18, 2002. Later, more episodes were made and shown when the two parts became separate shows in 2003.

What's the Show About?
Grim & Evil is special because it combines two different cartoon stories. Each episode usually has a part from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and a part from Evil Con Carne. Sometimes, it's two "Billy & Mandy" stories wrapped around one "Evil Con Carne" story.
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
This part of the show is about two kids, Billy and Mandy. Billy is a silly and happy boy, while Mandy is a very smart and emotionless girl. They meet the Grim Reaper, who is the actual "Grim" from the show's title.
Their adventure begins when Grim comes to take Billy's pet hamster. Billy and Mandy challenge Grim to a game of Limbo. If they win, Grim has to spare the hamster and become their "best friend forever." They win the game, and Grim, the powerful Messenger of Death, is stuck being their friend. This means he has to do their chores and go on all sorts of crazy adventures with them!
Evil Con Carne
This segment is about a supervillain named Hector Con Carne. He wants to take over the world, but there's a problem: he was in a huge explosion! Now, his brain and stomach are separated from his body.
His brain is placed on the head of a slow-witted circus bear named Boskov. His stomach also has a mind of its own! Hector, with the help of his mad scientist, Major Doctor Ghastly, and his grumpy general, General Skarr, tries to achieve world domination. But it's hard when you're just a brain on a bear!
