I remember seeing Kim Possible when I was a kid and enjoying both the comedy and the action. I watched it again and found that I still enjoy it for the same reasons plus some new aspects of it.As I state in the head-line, it is a set-up which has been done to death with a main character living a life as an extraordinary person but at the same time trying to live a regular life, but Kim Possible adds something fresh by having everybody knowing about it which leads to funny comments on it along with equally funny situations where the regular life clashes with her crime fighting duty. Kim Possible is also a comedy series poking fun of different hero and villain tropes like how the sidekick of the real hero is always operating in the shadow of the hero and how one villain learning all classic villain tropes literally by the book while his sidekick doesn't commit to it at all. Those details made me laugh more than once, because the writers knew how not to make a one note joke. With such clever writing we also need memorable characters, and Kim Possible as this spunky crime fighting teenage girl is a really cool main character with many tropes of that, but not stereotypical like many other series from the same time period. Her clumsy outcast of a sidekick, Ron Stoppable, is hilarious with his cute naked molerat pet Rufus and has a louder persona to him, but is not annoyingly loud all the time. Of the recurring villain characters I think the most memorable ones are the duos of Dr. Drakken and She-Go and The Senior father and son along with the single villains Duff Killagan and Professor Dementor. All of them are hilarious in their own ways. Other notable characters are Mr. Barkins and Bonnie who make some great comedic characters in Kim's regular life.Even though the clever writing finds a lot of ways around and the well done action scenes you'll eventually discover the core elements the series operate around. It does not in any way weaken the show because of the writing, but you will notice it I am sure.Great and entertaining show that is SO not your basic average cartoon!

This show, "Kim Possible", don't get me started on this show! This show was Disney Channel at its animated best and it still is today. If the kids watched this show before, they'll understand what I'm saying here. To the people who never heard this show before, here's the main sitch. This show introduced every kid or adult to Kim Possible, a teenager who's highly known for saving the world from evil villains like Drakken and Shego and Senor Senor Senor. Bottom Line; Anything kind of problem you have, big or small, you can just call up Kim Possible and she'll say "No big" or "So not the drama". But, she's not the only character to pay attention to. There's also her best friend, Ron Stoppable and his mole rat, Rufus, who, in this show, are the barrel of laughs in this show mostly. There are some serious things with them as well but they're the "Laugh" button in this show. What makes this show amazing is the script writing which is top-notch on every single episode in so many ways. Reason why the show won 2 Emmy's! Your mission: See the show!

"Kim Possible" is arguably the best series Disney has produced to date... (animated or otherwise) as many other viewers have commented. But the question is why? What makes this program so much better than every other in the long and storied history of the Mouse?Premise. The old joke about a Rocket Scientist and a Brain Surgeon is a great place to start, as that's Kim's Dad and Mom! And with such intelligent lineage, Kim is a brilliant mind too, only she's not weird about it. She's a basic, average girl, but she's here to save the world! Cheerleader and honor student by day; superhero the rest of the time. Really, she's the most well-rounded and talented Disney female since 1964's Mary Poppins (and she didn't have to keep house; just answer her KIM- municator).Characters. Kim's partner in crimefighting, Ron Stoppable and his naked mole rat pet Rufus always provided comic relief, humorous complications and legitimate help to Ms. Possible, as well as the inevitable after- school snacks at Bueno Nacho, their Mexican restaurant hangout. Wade, the point man that clued Kim in to the sitch, offered just the right tone of stability to the stories. Kim's occasionally seen twin brothers Tim and Jim gave her some sibling rivalry angst. And the best and most wacky rogue's gallery of villains since Adam West's "Batman" series, and with nearly the same level of star power, provided the knockout punch! Led by John DiMaggio's Dr. Drakken and Nicole Sullivan's Shego, other guest voices throughout the series included such iconic names as Debbie Reynolds, Andrea Martin, Elliot Gould, George Takei, Nestor Carbonell and Ricardo Montalban. Stories. Despite covering the same ground as so many other series had done within the high school framework setting, every episode always seemed fresh and innovative. Full credit to the writers for carefully mixing in the adventure elements with Kim's day-to-day school life, for exposing some of Kim's foibles and failings (she really had trouble with that road test for Driver's Ed!) and for not letting Kim and Ron get too romantic until just the right moment. Also, the fact that the plots always had that sense of danger but were never too frightening for all age groups was a truly brilliant and notable element of the series.Performances. Christy Carlson Romano, Will Friedle, Nancy Cartwright and Tahj Mowry were fantastic as the core four heroes, and their vocal skills were crucial in making everything work. And the theme song, sung by Christina Milian, lived up to the level of the program itself. Always smart, always funny and always had something to say about family, friendship and life (both scholastic AND extra-curricular), "Kim Possible" really was worth watching, and Kim proved it was Possible to be a great Disney role-model without being a princess!

I used to absolutely love this show, then I stopped liking it, but as the new season came out, I started to like it a lot more again. It has a certain essence to it, that just keeps you wanting more. It is action filled, not as much as non-cartoons, but still pretty good to satisfy. I like most of the episodes, but some of them are okay. The new season is definitely the best. The first few seasons are also good. The voices of all of the characters have really good chemistry, and they all blend together really well. The plot of all of the episodes/movies is really well put together, and a crowd pleaser. Even if you don't like these kinds of shows, you will say that it is good. If you haven't watched this show before, I would definitely suggest it, whenever it is on.
