 Yay for Powerpuff Girls! November 7, 2004

This is a hilarious cartoon series that adults can enjoy watching with their kids (rather than being annoyed)...well, actually the violence is a bit questionable for younger kids--the first time I ever saw the Powerpuff Girls, they were beating up Mojo Jojo, and punching his nose caused red blood to shoot out!
Well, funny cartoon. Lots of clever jokes (many of which most kids probably won't understand).
Annoyingly, as some viewers have pointed out, the episode selection is somewhat haphazard. On vol. 2 ("Down 'n' Dirty"), the first episode ("Birthday Bash") has Princess already in prison, and then four episodes later she's *introduced* in "Stuck Up, Up and Away." (It was NOT a "revealed origen" episode.)
If you want to use "educational value" as an excuse to get the Powerpuffs Girls on DVD, do what I did: Get the Hong Kong editions (Region 3; yay for region-free DVD-players!). As near as I can tell, they're identical to the U.S. editions, except that there's ACTUALLY a choice of language selection (English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Thai) and subtitles (ENGLSIH, Chinese, Thai, and Bahasa). (They're even packaged in the same crappy snap cases, which is unusual for Hong Kong DVDs.) It's a lot of fun to watch a familiar show dubbed in another language, especially when it's something as silly as the Powerpuff Girls. Educational, too, if you're learning a second language.
Each disk has special features, usually bonus cartoons, but either I'm lacking some special software or else there are some serious misprints on the boxes, because I haven't been able to find any of the DVD-ROM features (not even on the U.S. edition of "Powerpuff Bluff" that I once rented).
In any case, highly recommend for anyone who likes funny cartoons.

Its somthing we can watch together. I find some childrens shows Mind numbingly boring but this is one that we can watch together.
there are things that go over thire heads like all the puns in the Beat-alls but I like it.Now if Only Dexters Lab and Courage the Cowardly Dog would come out on DVD we would be set.
Ha-ha! Very inventive! October 30, 2002

Well, what can I say? I'm a grown man, but who says grown men can't enjoy cartoon? These Powerpuff girls are hilarious! So what if they win every battle? It's not something you take seriously like Justice League or something, and these are certainly not trying to be a new Justice League or X-Men. It's just a sublimely nutty series that pokes fun at the superhero mold, all thw while commenting on pop culture and contemporary America. The plots are actually pretty clever--there's always something in there that you wouldn't find in the ordinary cartoon, whether you're talking about Johnny Bravo or Dragonball Z. This is delightful cartoon WEIRDNESS at its finest! But if you really want something, check out the movie, which should be on video in a few months. Until then, adore the innocence, exhilirate in the brutality, and laugh your head off with the Powerpuff Girls. What'll they think of next?
 ENOUGH POWERPUFF! October 1, 2002

When will they stop with the annoying "Powerpuff Girls" anyway?? They have no weakneses, every battle is won all the time, and they DON'T save the world but a ...-headed city called "Townsville" which doesn't even exist! I understand that they are the super-hero(ines) of the show, but they can at least lose here and there. I mean, come on! Superman has a weakness with Kryponite, while the Z-fighters from "Dragonball Z" lose once and a while. In other words, it's always too easy for those little brats, so what's the point?! They're always gonna win. "And so once again the day is saved, and so once again the day is saved, and so and so and so." ARRGH! Shuddap already. It's just TOO predictable. Plus, they don't even have knuckles nor fists when they punch so how can they hit THAT HARD??? They actually look more like dolls really. lol. Another problem that REALLY gets me P.O'd is that everything on the Cartoon Network seems to be about powerpuffs. "Powerpuff Girls" this, "Powerpuff Girls" that. "The Powerpuff Girls" is NOT the only popular show on that channel. Everyone's forgeting about "Dexter's Laboratory", "Ed, Edd n Eddy", "Johnny Bravo", and even the un-organized story to "Courage, the Cowardly Dog". These one's at least have better animation quality and doesn't look like something drawn by a 2-year-old. What I mean is, STOP PUTTING THE POWERPUFFS ON THE SPOTLIGHT ALL THE TIME!!! There are much better shows anyway, so why not put "Ed, Edd n Eddy" or "Johnny Bravo" on DVD for a change? That would be pretty cool really. Those shows are funnier and a whole lot more interesting than the powerpuffs (which is as fun as staring at a pile of ...!)So could you PLEASE try something else for a change like an EEnE("Ed, Edd n Eddy")DVD with the first complete season or something like that. I think it would be awesome, because the Eds can crack me up for 24/7 compared to the powerpuffs. I hope that one day they will release something like this on DVD and/or video. Just remember folks, the powerpuffs AREN'T the ones who should take the glory from other shows, especially when those artists obviously worked harder(and I do mean HARDER!) at trying to animate than those who draw powerpuffs. So why not give them some credit?

...The Powerpuff Girls is not another standard animated superhero TV series with cute moppets. First, the writers of the Powerpuff Girls ensure that the stories are written well and respect the viewer's intelligence instead of pandering to morons (a common mistake found in most animated TV series). Second, the better stories on this TV series show some common situations that a kid can relate to and how to resolve them without being too preachy. Third, there are lots of warped humor, hip contemporary references, sight gags, bad jokes, and hidden puns (e.g., Ms. Bellum's home address in "Something's a Ms."or each Powerpuff Girl using an eyebeam near the end of "The Main Event") found throughout these episodes. For these reasons, both children and adults will find this TV series fun to watch.To honor the release of the Powerpuff Girls Movie, this review looks at the Powerpuff Girls Power Pack, the DVD boxed set that collects the first 3 Powerpuff Girls DVDs: "Powerpuff Bluff", "The Mane Event", and "Down `n' Dirty". In addition to over 5 hours of Powerpuff Girls TV episodes, this boxed set has some nice bonus features... Get this boxed set if you love the Powerpuff Girls (or know someone who does) but have none of these DVDs in the video collection. This boxed set makes a nice birthday or Xmas present for any serious Powerpuff Girls fan. If you don't know if you like the Powerpuff Girls, I recommend that you watch the Powerpuff Girls Movie (which tells how the Powerpuff Girls became the local superheroines of Townsville) followed by any three of the standout episodes on the above list from the Cartoon Network or any Powerpuff Girls video before deciding. But be forewarned: You may wind up enjoying the Powerpuff Girls after watching the third episode.
