What Season 1 of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Billy and Mandy cheat in a game of limbo to save Billy's sick hamster, and in the process force Grim, the Grim Reaper, to become their best friend forever. Skull, a Grim Reaper with a Jamaican accent, resists serving them. The story takes place in Endsville, a gloomy, surreal town, where the kids use their supernatural powers to venture into the Underworld or to get what they want, although the results usually turn out twisted. Mandy, deadpan and cynical, drives most of the mischief, while Skull longs for his old life as Death. Gladys, Billy's mother, suspects her house is infested with skeletons.
