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.

That cartoon was "Uh oh, Dynamo." Actually, that was probably one of my least favorite ones. Not that there are many.

I've been a PPG fan since the beginning. The PPG's rock because it works on different levels. Like in one episode, the one where Buttercup doesn't take a bath, she crashes into a Septic Tank truck that has the phrase, "We're full of it" on the side. There is enough adult humor in the show to work. And of course, Mojo Jojo and Annoyance Crime #9 is classic stuff.

The movie was pretty good. I like the scene with the two Van Halen fans speaking only in Van Halen song titles and lyrics.

The pilot for PPG is absolutely hilarous. Has anyone else seen it?

The answer: Dexter's laboratory is FAR better.

Wasn't that the one with an episode called Powerpuff Bluff? Just who are the real powerpuff girls, sweet cheeks?

I am over 30 years old, am a new father and I still watch PPG.

I voted for "Other", specifically "The Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever".

A perfect episode, for so many reasons:

- Seeing the girls switch identities ("You're Bubbles! No! You're Bubbles!)

- Mimicking nearly every major supporting character, Blossom posing as Ms. Bellum is hilarious

- The simple joy of watching the girls play just like normal children

- And finally, seeing the Professor dressed-up as Bubbles

The best episode ever.

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.

You mean like that episode that made fun of Die Hard? Where HIM was making the girls run around the city solving puzzels, etc in a certain amount of time or "The Professor will PAY!" And it turns out that HIM just has a bet with the proffessor over whether or not the girls can solve the puzzles, if they can't the proffessor has to pay for the pancakes that HIM made.

Then there was Super Zeros. That was great. The PPG's were trying to mimic their other comic book heros. Blossom was Liberty Bell who had he lariot of truth. Bubbles was Harmony Bunny who's ability to think good makes other people good. And Buttercup was Mange, a hilarious takeoff on Spawn.

Of course, it didn't work well because Blossom's car got stuck in traffic. Bubbles took forever getting anywhere on a Pogo-Stick and Mange, well, she only fights at night.

Wow...I haven't seen that one! Sounds like classic HIM, though.

I voted 'other' because I'm a poll junkie and just HAD to vote for something.

I have seen a few episodes though. There was one where the Prof kept stealing all of these toys for them - it was cute.
