The first season of the American animated television series The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States from August 24, 2001 to August 1, 2003. It consisted of 13 episodes, all of which were originally produced for Grim & Evil, and the first eight of which aired as part of Grim & Evil in both the U.S. (except for "Battle of the Bands") and UK. The latter five and "Battle of the Bands" aired as part of Grim & Evil in the UK, but were part of the standalone Billy & Mandy in the U.S.
This season introduces the three title characters, boy-wizard Nigel Planter and supporting characters such as Dean Toadblatt, which constitutes a parody of the Harry Potter franchise. Other characters that make major appearances include Mandy's popular and snobby nemesis Mindy, the lonely villain Nergal, and Billy's aunt Sis.
