Any show that advocates the solving of problems through brute force is alright with me...

The Orignal Scooby Doo kicks this shows ass. Plain and Simple
Wow. Yet another reason to hate DX. He sure doesn't give us much of a chance, does he?

Here's my case for PPG. It's smart, funny, and original--3 qualities that put it in my good books. And it may seem childish at times, but the cuteness is always balanced out with wicked humor and gleefully violent fight scenes. The characters are unique and the scripts are sharp and witty. All in all, it's a near-perfect cartoon, in my opinion.

Bravo is pure balls. 100% nuts. Really funny stuff going on in that show. Typical feminist model for a white male though... overly macho and can't get laid to save his life.

Yes. Well. Returning to our topic... :wink:

Whether he knows it or not, Roger Ebert has just lost a gazillion cool points with his review of the PPG movie. Did anyone see his show on Sunday? Ridiculous! He says the Powerpuff Girls TV show is just a pathetic, Pokemon-esque marketing scheme. You know nothing, Roger Ebert. Go pout and whine in your little corner. Save the ranting for movies that deserve it.

Well, I tend to disagree with the critics a good deal of the time, not excluding Ebert. He hated MiB2 (Rated it 1 1/2 stars), and I somewhat enjoyed the movie. But as for the topic of what he thinks about PPG, oh well. PPG isn't everybody's cup of tea. It obviously wasn't Roger Ebert's. He did start to get carried away though.

But hey, if you enjoy the show and movie, don't let the ramblings of a derranged old man stop you from continuing to enjoy it. :)

I agree. I can see why some people would be turned off by PPG, but it really does have loads of wit and imagination (way more than most other cartoons, I must say). Calling it shameless marketing pap is simply incorrect. You can dislike it, but it's still a quality show. Kinda like my opinion of The West Wing--I know it's a very good show, but it's not my thing.

Anyways PPG is cool but the same old episodes everyday made it boring, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy ROCKS, same Johnny Bravo.

Ed, Edd 'n Eddy ROCKS
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy would be good if it wasn't so brain-dead. Johnny Bravo used to be a lot better, before they changed the look (and took away the humor). I used to hate Spongebob Squarepants (is that even on Cartoon Network, I wonder?), but now I like it.

Totally agree with you. I stopped watching after they changed the girl--she's really annoying now. Agreed on the 3 Eds, too.

I'm find myself not having the time to watch TV any more... that's okay, I didn't like it that much anyway, and I prefer movies or books (no commercials)
