I'm just kinda interested in how many people actually watch the show... if any.

Yup, mildly addicted. I picked Bring on the Boogie because for some reason that episode had me giggling uncontrollably throughout.

My next favorite was the Beat-Alls one, for much the same reason...

Hello, my name is MzNeko, I'm 30, and I watch the PowerPuff Girls

I have three kids so I watch a lot of this stuff. Anything with Mojo Jojo in it is good.

Lately though its been lots of Spongebob.

I can't remember actual episode titles, but while I prefer Dexter's Lab, it is a pretty entertaining little show. The episode where the Professor builds them a giant robot to fight monsters in was pretty good. The movie was excellent.

"Bubblevicious" all the way! That's the episode that sucked me into liking The Powerpuff Girls. I had done my best not to get sucked into that show...but when Bubbles proclaimed "The Bubbles you know is GONE!! I'M HARDCORE NOW!!" I just gave in. Normally I hate cutsie shows like you wouldn't believe but for some reason that didn't make me want to wretch.

Another one of my favorites is "Telephonies" when the Gangrene Gang (sp?) makes prank calls using the Powerpuff Girl hotline and eventually incurs the wrath of Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and HIM.

And let's face it, you have to give props to any television show that portrays satan (or HIM, as it were) as a bad ass who manages to somehow carry off a falsetto voice, a Santa suit with pink trim, and thigh high black stilletto boots.

Those are all really good episodes but I think "Meet the Beat-Alls" had me cracking up for just about the entire episode, "Bring on the Boogie" had a similar effect. As far as "Just The bare facts," why did Mojo-Jojo take the mayor's clothes?! And why didn't the mayor notice? OR maybe he did notice and just didn't care. Or maybe it wasn't Mojo that took his clothing and he's just a pedophile.

HIM is just a cross-dresser.

I started watching it after a co-worker at an old job went fanatic over the show. We ended up having Powerpuff Girl desktop wallpapers, and Powerpuff Girl pictures tacked up on the outside of our cubicle. Our manager thought we were nuts.

Anyway, my favorite episode was the Power Rangers parody (don't know the name of it).

You say that as though it were a bad thing.

Seriously, HIM isn't just a cross dresser. He's kind of the Q of The Powerpuff Girls when you think about it. Mojo is trying to take over the world, Princess is a spoiled brat who just wants to be a Powerpuff girl, Fuzzy is completely harmless unless you touch his proper-tay, etc. HIM is the omnipotent bad guy who just likes to screw with the girls' adorable little heads. He could easily beat the girls whenever he wished (regardless of what "Meat the Beat-Alls" indicated, IMHO)...he just likes to see them attempt to struggle through his mind games.

(Or perhaps I'm reading too much into this...I have a tendancy to over-analyze cartoons that dates back to Beavis and Butthead.

Thank God (if you believe in him

)! I thought I was the only adult who ever watched that show.

I liked the episode about the "Roudy Ruff Boys." I've only seen it once, though.
