The Powerpuff Girls

So who else is a fan of the original series?

I would love a complete series blu ray release but at least it got a DVD release.

The series is fine only when McCracken's doing it. Out of his hands, it's pretty terrible.

I only somewhat watched the original run on Cartoon Network. Anything after that, I passed.

I love the original Powerpuff Girls and I own the complete dvd release. How many other guys out there like this show? I always felt kinda weird for liking it, but I like what I like.

I absolutely loved the Powerpuff Girls as a kid. My favorite Powerpuff has always been Bubbles.

Bubbles is my favorite as well. The Powerpuff Girls have similar personalities to the Ninja Turtles minus Donatello if you think about it. You have the goofy one, the leader, and the know it all rebel.

It was sort of a guilty pleasure for me, used to watch it back in the day but didn't let any of the guys know I watched it

It kind of blows my mind these shows are over 25 years old now. I remember when they were new. These are shows that aired when I was just 12 or whatever I was. Crazy to think about since I feel these shows aired "late" for me, but they really didn't. Whenever I start to think about the original airdate of these shows it blows my mind how old they are.

Pretty much. Sad. And at the time it was like "f*ck these new cartoons with their cheap animation"... and yet it came out so long ago.

Not from the actual show but I remember a short that had the girls saving Aquaman/Wonder Woman from the Legion of Doom....with a hilarious joke at the end.

Wonder Woman: “You girls are developing into quite the superheroes.”

Bubbles: “Someday we’ll be as developed as you!”

That joke flew over my head as a kid.

Yeah, that's the one, not that the show itself didn't have some good adult jokes.

I still remember a scene from the show when the Professor talks about the girl's origin and a little girl says she was a accident too.

The tone of the movie was way off, a bit like the first Rugrats movie in it was far too dark and spiteful and not inviting and heart-warming. The original series had a lot of both in it.

I have fond memories of the original seasons. I stopped keeping up with the post-movie episodes, but I liked the anniversary special.

Craig McCracken is working on a continuation/revival. Apparently it'll be more serialized, which will be interesting considering how he handled Kid Cosmic.
