Reposted on: 20.6.11 0315.40 | About a month ago, I started watching Kim Possible before work. I haven't really been into cartoons for quite some time, but man, I was blown away by Kim Possible. I make it a point never to miss that show.
It's got everything, in my book. Action, smart comedy, great villians, two zany sidekicks and a redheaded girl who kicks massive amounts of ass.
In a world populated mostly by reality shows, game shows, soap-operas and crude jokes, Kim Possible has to be one of the best shows on the whole damn planet (to coin a phrase from Shrek character Donkey).
Anyone else here watch this show? C'mon, it's OK to admit it, don't be shy. | Promote this thread! |             | Guru Zim

Seriously? I may have watched it once or twice. Seriously.

It's a passable cute show. I'm glad there's a cartoon with a female protagnoist that's popular. But, there are plenty shows I think are better that don't get the kind of push that KP does (Fillmore for one). | StaggerLee

Reposted on: 20.6.11 1504.23 | Kim is becoming huge with the kids. She's on par with the Disney Princesses at my store, and considering they are one of the top two sellers for all of Disney/us, that is saying a lot.
Back to the topic, I caught it for the first this past Christmas and was instantly hooked as well. It's "watchability" quality is up there with other Disney cartoons like Duck Tales, Tail Spin, etc... | StampedeFan23

Reposted on: 20.6.11 1554.29 | I'm a big fan of cartoons and have caught Kim Possible a few times. I'm quite impressed with the mature humour on the show and the animation. I'm not sure what they are doing, but Kim is pretty cute for a cartoon woman. Good show that needs a bit more time to catch the eyes of adults, since the kids are already into it.

Reposted on: 20.6.11 1716.20 | | Our daughter likes it alot, even at 14. It's much easier for me to watch than alot of the cartoon crap out there like say The Proud Family or Recess.

Reposted on: 20.6.11 1822.44 | My daughter is 4 and LOVES it, to the point that she sleeps with her Kim Possible doll every night. I don't mind it, but I don't think its as funny (adult funny) as the Fairly Oddparents or Jimmy Neutron (the only cartoon I have ever seen that had a Reservoir dogs reference in it).

The Proud Family, to me, is as totally and completely unwatchable as the Brady Bunch episodes with cousin Orville. | Dahak

Reposted on: 21.6.11 0643.12 | | I became a huge fan of the show when they got Ricardo Montalban to do a guest villain voice for a couple of episodes, the character Senor Senior Sr., a multi-billionaire who turns to crime because he's bored. Fun, fun villain. So, I started watching the other episodes, and I think that it's a darn cute cartoon of slightly above average quality. | Tenken347

Tell me you did not just say that! {/Booker T} C'mon, man, "Recess" is damn good stuff.
As for "Kim Possible"...yep, I watch it now and then. It's a tight little cartoon, and the theme song grooves, man. Good showing from Disney...but I'm down with the "Fillmore" luv, too.
But damn, I miss "Freakazoid!"...and for that matter, Warner Bros.'s "Histeria!" Put that out on DVD now, Time-Warner conglomerate! Schnell! | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
