The Three Friends and Jerry (Swedish: De tre vännerna och Jerry) is a children's animated television series produced by Happy Life and TMO Film GmbH (Germany) in association with Nickelodeon UK and Nickelodeon Germany.

This show follows his best attempts to join the 'Three Friends' – Thomas, Eric, and their leader Frank – who do not want him to be part of their group but still let him hang out with them as long as he helps them with their schemes or problems.

The friends are often joined by three of their girl classmates: Linda, Mimmi, and Tess and try (and usually fail) to win them over.

The show takes place in the town of Carlsonville (most likely named after Magnus himself), which is located either in Sweden, Germany or the United Kingdom.

The show was originally aired in the United Kingdom on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons, with reruns remaining until 2010, mainly to fulfill European content guidelines.
