The Powerpuff Girls

Definitely one of CN's best series' period!

After the movie, however, most episodes, despite an improved art-style and animation were not as good nor memorable in the characterization and/or writing department(s). Unlike other shows that went on for too long, IMHO - despite THAT minor gripe... I still fucking love this show!

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

Anyone else ever see the final episode of the series, "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey"? Even if it's a bit of an uneven episode, I still feel like it's probably one of the greatest accomplishments of the show. Plus, I love all the homages to Tommy they threw into it

Oh, and it also brought us perhaps the greatest performance Tom Kane has ever given. (I can't get the timecode to work right here...it's at exactly 15 minutes into the video.)

I saw that yesterday, and I thought it was okay. I loved the ending.

My one major problem with the episode is that the lyrics get pretty horrible at times. Like, seriously, sometimes they just seem really lazy (rhyming "power" with "power" and then immediately rhyming "peace" with "peace"?!??), and other time they seem like lyrics that even an overly self-indulgent prog-rock band would call pretentious. And I suppose another problem with it that I have is that some of the singing is kinda...eh. But that wouldn't be as bad if the editing was less all over the place with how the vocals were mixed. Half the time the singing seems to be really off time. Not completely off time, mind you, but just enough that there's an audible gap between where the singing should come in and where it actually comes in.

Good episode otherwise though.

Oh my God, that was the final episode? All I could think of while I was watching it was 'My God, when will this end? It feels like it's dragging FOREVER!'

You're not really into musicals, are you?

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

No.

I can dig shorter musicals (like Whats Opera Doc, or that episode of Dexters Laboratory detailing his early childhood), but watching 22 minutes of that was a horrible chore.

So no Les Miserables for you, I take it?

The only version I have ever watched was Animaniacs'.

So like I said, you're not a fan of musicals Or do you just not like watching lengthy...things?

I perfectly can watch lenghty things in general, thank you, although I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with the lenght of this personal questioning.

Just making conversation, geez.

Has anyone seen the Christmas special? I'm disappointed that the show never made a Halloween one.

Vampire Powerpuffs FTW, baby!

If this show were still around, I'd dare someone to make that happen.

In a way they did when discussing their second origin story, in which the girls go back in time because Mojo Jojo planned on killing the professor as a child or something. You'll have to see the episode for it to make sense.

Signatures are for lamers.

It's not really that hard to explain. Professor Utonium builds a time machine (which he brings to the girls' school for show and tell or something for some reason), and Mojo Jojo (who up until this point is in drag) tricks him into setting it to when he was a child and then jumps into it to try to kill him by throwing him into the volcano that Townsville conveniently has, and the PPG follow him and try to stop him, and the three of them end up somehow inspiring the Prof (who at this point in his childhood is really just a bully) to go into science!

Simple, really.

Also, at the beginning of the episode, he tells how he got the inspiration to create the perfect little girls by something that happened in his childhood.

And so once again Mojo Jojo has created the Powerpuff Girls, by trying to destroy the Powerpuff Girls pre-emptively.

"Supper Villain" is such an excellent episode, all the more so because Professor Utonium sort of deserved Harold Smith's scorn, being portrayed rubbing in his great life to his mundane neighbor.

Almost feels similar to Fight Club, portraying one man's struggle against his own humdrum suburban nightmare by going in a completely destructive direction with it.

The stereotypical teenage son is what really does it.

I thought it was the pea scene that sold it for most people.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

EAT YOUR PEA PROFESSOR!!!

SWALLOW IT!!!

The professor's face when eating it was the best part. But I actually hated that episode since they showed it so much. I didn't like the sequel either.

I remember my little sister cried on the bunny episode first time she saw it. Like she was in TEARS.

The sequel to that episode kinda sucks, putting it bluntly, but I do think the ending is kinda funny.

Eh, I feel like it might have just been exaggerated for the sake of establishing some contrast between the two in that episode. And if I recall correctly, he didn't seem to be rubbing it in at all, just that Harold interpreted it in that way.

I saw that sequel a bunch of times first because that was the season they were on when I started watching, and I don't think I ever did see the whole original episode. I remember coming in in the middle and thinking, "Why is this recap taking so much longer to wrap up than it's supposed to?"

The same thing happened with "Monkey See, Doggy Do/Two". "Why is that thing cracked? What are the girls stopping for? What are they talking about that happened before? What?"

See, at least "Monkey See, Doggy Two" has some good humor and self-deprecation going for it. That other one doesn't even have the decency go be funny (not until the very last line, at least).

Part of it too is that villain Harold seemed to be having so much fun. "I'm going to take this ray-gun and melt the professor's head clear off his shoulders!"
