I'd say some of my favorite episodes have to do with Shego having to team up with someone other than Drakken. Señor Senior Jr. or Motor Ed are probably the funniest just because of their characters. Jr is naive in his innocence while desperately wanting to impress his villain father, and Ed is very sexist while Shego is very feminist and no BS with her attitude, so watching her get pissed off at Ed is downright hilarious.
Disneycember blog day 8th goes into secret agent Intel t=with the cartoon "Kim possible" what can you say about Kim possible the cartoon was cool/the gadgets were cool & the adventures were cool for the most parts & like I said before I love spy films & spy cartoons "call me beep me if you wanna reach me"
It's still got some tech in it that is well beyond us. But even then it was like it was a Blackberry smartphone except far more advanced; it wasn't unimaginably advanced or anything.
in one episode the thing turn into a mini drone and in another its batterie was enough to power a devivce that opens inter dimensional portals big enough to suck in Dinosaurs. Yeah our tech today is "way better" just ribbing you a bit nothin personal.
This show earns points just for making a character like Wade: a child tech prodigy so smart that when he finally leaves his room you are genuinely afraid of him~
Kinda but i think the merit is somewher else.... the main cuple in other shows like avatar ore dany phantom did get together but it was at the last episode. Kp try the same thing with so the drama, but they got a curved ball when the show was renew for a 4th season... and hit it out of the park, we got a full season of them together and it was stil funy stilI charming and not unconfortable to sit trough, that was a tricky season to pull off and I cant tink of any other show that has done something like this. so yea kim and ron was the first ship that happend and we actualy got to see as a cuple.
@@logannottheonefrommarvel9917 yea star and marco did had a lot going for, but the later seasons had so many wierd and unsatisfing twists and dumb desitions that by the time they got togethr we wer like "yea wharever" and that ending.... oh god I was expecting a dumpsterfire but I think no one thought it was gonna be that bad, its kind of amazing they manage to f it up in sucha spectacular way. its almost like the creator hated the show and the fans and wanted to give them the biggest midle finger she cud think off
Kim Possible is one of the greats imo. I especially love how Ron as a sidekick had his own villain. All the villains in the show were great, and the show was funny and wholesome and had good arcs.
The hilarious thing with Ron is he’s voiced by Will Friedle. He has good timing, gives great performances, and was also the voice of the Terry McGinniss Batman in Batman Beyond. It cracks me up how he can be a goofball teen in one show & a total badass in another. And the Adam West episode is a fun sendup today this overlap.
One of the things I appreciate the most about this show is that the parents know about her saving the world constantly. If the show had premiered a decade earlier they totally would've done the lame thing where the parents don't know and she's constantly trying to hide it from them. But here, not only are they aware of it but they love it and take it in stride, which leads to a lot of hilarious moments between them and Kim.
Senior Senior Senior and Senior Senior Junior are one of the best examples of a father son relationship. Senior Senior is supportive and caring about his son even if he doesn't quite follow in his father's footsteps. He's a really good dad.
I liked how even though she was a superhero, and on the cheerleading squad, she still was not the most popular girl at school. She had to deal with not fitting in.
@@brett2pacThere's even a whole episode dedicated to Kim's popularity and Ron's lackthereof when they switch bodies/brains and Ron is quickly overwhelmed with all the extra stress Kim's popularity causes him cause everyone's so demanding.
I liked very much the way of realizing them as a couple: she's sweet without losing her personality and he's brave without pretending being different. They fall in love each other just for what they really are and I think this is an important message missing in many nowdays cartoons.
Cuz she was always talked about back when she was big on Disney and then her time was over and she's not done anything really since.....so what's there to talk about?
One thing I think was great was that we _actually_ see Kim and Rons relationship. They don't just get together at the end, we see them date and deal with being in a relationship. Almost every other show just did the "Will-They-Won't-They" bit
Fun fact, the show originally was just going to end with Kim and Ron finally getting together with So The Drama. Yet, fans wanted to see them as a couple so badly that they endlessly begged for a 4th season. Good thing Disney Channel actually listened. :)
6:20 "see what all the buzz was about." Doug? Come on now. You know you you should've said "what the sitch was all about". There's a time and place for crappy puns and that was totally it.
So He Can Watch An Entire Series Of Cartoon To Prepare For It's Live Action Adaptation... But Not Do A Little Research Of A Popular Anime For 5 Minutes...
@@demontorch Even cooler, Kevin "Batman" Conroy taught Will Friedle the art of voice acting, in the same show the older Batman was teaching the new one.
@@louisduarte8763 another fun fact, I saw an interview with Mark Hamill where he talked about meeting Kevin Conroy for the first time before they went to record the first episode of TAS. Mark was so excited because he was a huge Batman fan, but when he asked Kevin if he was excited, Kevin said he had never even heard of Batman before getting the job lol Also Kevin is the reason why Batman and Bruce Wayne have 2 different voices. We can thank him for Christian Bale's "throat cancer" Batman performance XD
"I call it gross beyond belief!" 😄😄 Actually there is a great UA-cam video of Will Friedle and Christie Carson making it IRL. Surprisingly the Naco they made looked better than the one on the show
I think some of my favorite bits where whenever Ron turned evil for a few minutes or an episode. Because he always turns out insanely competent and threatening in his own, still Ron way.
Don't forget when he does martial arts. On one hand it seems forced, cliche and contrived letting the incompetent character be great at something they clearly shouldn't be great at. But it just works with ron so well. It was always nice seeing him doing whenever he did and he actually did look bad ass. It's seeing chuckie from rugrats stand up to angelica. From rugrats to all grown up he only did so occasionally but, like with ron, it strangely just worked. In both cases it felt right.
@@buster3041 It's kinda like with Morty, characters and sometimes people only need a small detail changed about their personality to alter their competence or percieved capability.
@@lwanco1018 Play Mechanix was going to have an arcade gun game based on this that was similar to Time Crisis is like Genki was going to have a open-world racing game based on The Fast and the Furious that was similar to Midnight Club, got it?
I loved how Kim was actually supersmart, and how that was ok. Most cartoons seem to bash on smart, attractive people, because they aren't "relatable" for example Timmy from The Fairly Oddparents. And as Doug pointed out, I also enjoyed how things weren't overdone dramatically, leaving you satisfied and content.
"The early to mid 2000s sucked in terms of everything, everything about that decade sucked." *Me a 2000s kid:* Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, Avatar the Last Airbender, Fairly OddParents, Invader Zim, Billy and Mandy, Star Wars Clone Wars NEED I GO ON. It's so funny seeing people just shit on the 2000s in general but honestly without some of those shows that premiered in that time, we wouldn't have shows like Gravity Falls, or Adventure Time. The 2000s was a pretty dark time in terms of both American politics and American Entertainment, but just because the movie scene sucked until 2007 when Transformers came on the silver screen finally kicking the action genre back in gear, that doesn't mean cartoons of that decade were awful too.
Yeah no 2000s was prime time for cartoons besides the ones you brought up things that come to mind are KND, Fosters, Totally spies, Code Lyoko, good spongebob, teen titans, and proud family.
@@eeveeongirl oh my god how could I forget Teen Titans? GOD that show was amazing. I really hope he talks about Clone Wars because oh my god that show is just PHENOMENAL. It does an incredible job fleshing out Anakin's character and his relationship with Ahsoka. To the point where when she and Vader face off it's really emotional and a huge moment in star wars in general.
@@toaarky too many good cartoons from the 2000s to list at the top of one's head lol. Samurai Jack is another stellar show. Why has no one mentioned this yet lol
One thing I was hoping Doug would cover was Kim's parents. This is the first show aimed at kids that I can remember, where the parents were not completely incompetent (See Fairly Oddparents). Kim's parents where that exact opposite being a literal rocket scientist and a doctor. They also offered Kim quality advise that KIM ASKED FOR!
Dr. Drakken is still my favourite character of all time. That character, and trying to emulate his voice were the reasons I got into voice acting. This show will always be special to me for that. I even got to meet Drakken's voice actor last year, and shook his hand! That was a good day.
I'd say some of the best episodes involve showing how capable Ron is. We always see him as a buffoon. But when you see the episodes where he turns evil, we underestimate what he's really capable of.
Kim Possible is one of the greatest shows from the happiest place on Earth. I admired it's art style, which it's the main inspiration for Danny Phantom and The Spectacular Spiderman.
I swear, this is definitely the series where you hoped and prayed Ron would hook up with Kim and destroy the Friend-Zone completely. After they finally hooked up, I have to admit, even I still didn't see it coming... lol.
this was definitely my favorite TV show as a kid until I watched Avatar / gravity falls but it still holds a special place in my heart as one of Disney channel's best animated shows of the early 2000s
It actually would make sense in this context: "I purchased the DVDs to legally own the series, and then I download the episodes for the sake of using the footage".
Unfortunately Disney does not like to release its entire library on home videos. So my guess is the DVDS did not have all the episodes. And it's gonna take a while for them to even consider releasing on DVD. If at all.
Lil_A_20 2.0 Gosh, one of my coworkers had the KP jingle as her ringtone, and the first time it went off, my attention was instantly split from looking for customers to locating the source of the ringtone, like a dog hearing the word 'treat' or something XD
I've been rewatching this show lately and yeah I would say the humor still holds up and though I didn't bust out laughing it still made me chuckle and put a big smile on my face
One of my favourite Tv Series growing up 😁 Still love Kim Possible to this day along with the film 'So The Drama', re-watched this series countless times ❤
I always loved when ron does martial arts. On one hand it seems forced, cliche and contrived letting the incompetent character be great at something they clearly shouldn't be great at. But it just works with ron so well. It was always nice seeing him doing it whenever he did and he actually did look bad ass. It's like seeing chuckie from rugrats stand up to angelica.

James Moyner you’re actually right. While I remember Ron had a tech-savvy girlfriend that was the thing for a couple of episodes. While Kim had was mainly chasing this one guy for season 1 and never really seriously trying to be with another guys until the movie. That and the “mood swing” episode where Ron “dumped Kim
@@logannottheonefrommarvel9917 He already said he likes SVTFOE so too bad for you. :) I think Phineas and Ferb is kinda lame though; it's like the creator just wants to write songs instead of tell stories. Phineas himself is boring af. The only good part of the show is Doof and Perry.
@@benwasserman8223 As a fan of Hogan's Heroes, which Recess was essentially an animated parody of, I hope he covers the similar traits between both shows.
i didn’t watch it for years, and then disney + came around, and i watched the whole series, plus the the m two animated movies, and i realized i still remembered the theme song!!!
I remember this show, but I never watched an episode. All I like about it was the main theme, which was cool and fun. Yet, I only remember seeing bits and pieces of certain episodes and they still stick with me, like the Halloween episode that had Ron dressed as the bottom half of a pantomime horse singing the Trick or Treat song, that one moment where Ron complained about there being no bendy straws at the restaurant, and the high school dance scene where Kim and Ron kiss.
Just got into this show this year and absolutely loved it. Amazing comedy, great animation/action, memorable characters and loads of variety in terms of plot-lines. Shame I didn't grow up with it, but this only proves that it's equally great for both kids and adults.
It really makes me laugh when I think about how if this show was released for the very first time today with no variations whatsoever it would get torn apart by the internet
Honestly, Kim and Ron's relationship is so unrealistic. Has the shy, dweeby, squeeky voiced social outcast ever gotten the good-looking cheerleader chick in real life? As in, even once in human history ? I know it's fiction and kid's show fiction at that, and it's nice to be able to go full ham with romance in fiction. But I just can't get behind those kinda "auw look two people on different positions on a social hiarachy are in a loving relationship"-relationships. I just always keep being reminded that in real life their relationship either wouldn't have happened or would've turned into a dumpster fire after only a couple of days. And yes, I know that in the show Kim is presented as a bit of a social outcast, but the fact that they even had to do that to not make her friendship & romance with Ron feel off just proves the point even more. The point is that her character is written to be like your typical "popular pretty girl", even though she isn't for some reason.
@@jamesg6660 But Ron and Kim were established best friends. It's not like they had no idea who each other were and randomly got together, they've been close for a while and the show clearly represents that as the seasons go on, they develop more feelings for each other the more they go through. I don't think it's that unrealistic. I'm not sure if the show implies Ron isn't good-looking, just nerdy, and Kim clearly genuinely likes him.
@@Hannah-zm4et I still think it's unrealistic, to be honest. Friendship and love are entirely different things, and while I think social hierarchy and stuff like one's level of aesthetic quality has no affect on friendship it _absolutely_ has an affect on romance. Ron ain't exactly designed in a way where it seems like he's meant to be good-looking, as well. He's not flat out ugly or anything, but he very obviously looks dweeby & not the stereotypically handsome type.
It makes my blood boil when they have those "will they, won't they?" romance plots that get resolved at the VERY END of the show. It's unhealthy and manipulative.
I think some of my favorite Kim Possible episodes were the ones that involved Camp Wannaweep. Those episodes were Ron’s moment to shine. And despite being a girl, I always related to him more.
Not gonna lie, my dad was the one who liked this show when I was little. I liked it as much as any kid liked colorful Saturday morning cartoons, but this was his (a 30-something-year-old man) favorite airing cartoon at the time. Heck, he even had it as a theme for one of his birthdays. We got him the cake that had the make-up kit shaped like Kim's face, and he put it with his MLB memorabilia (a high honor I assure you).
I remember growing up with this show! I had the naked mole rat rap by memory, I use to collect the McDonald’s toys, my ringtone is even the one Kim had. Am I saying it’s the best show, not really, but I still remember this show extremely from my childhood.
dude that show was so fucking baller. I mean my god Anakin went from being one of the most hated SW characters to one of the most loved by like the end of the first season lol. Would love to hear doug's thoughts on it.
Fun Fact: Will Friedle, Ron's voice actor, also voiced Deadpool in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. The episode was HILARIOUS and Will was perfect in as the Merc with the Mouth.
To this day I have the Kimunicator jingle set as the message alert on my phone. This was probably my most loved Disney Channel show in those pre-teen/early teen years and I still get the urge to watch episodes or listen to songs from it on occasion.
I remember this one from my childhood back in elementary school after reading a Disney magazine that had a comic in it where Rufus is gigantic. After that I watched a few episodes and the show was fine. Then I found the Kim and Ron ship fandom. Most recent memory is that god-awful live-action movie from last year. Let's hope things get better from here! Also I made the theme song transition music for my Mission Impossible entry in my Best So Far of 2018 list.
This was a childhood favorite show! I started rewatching it when I first got Disney + and it's still good, even after so many years. I still emember Kim Possible, and American Drago: Jake Long, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, and Scooby-Doo (both reruns of the original and the newest iteration at the time, What's New, Scooby-Doo?)!
KP came out just when everybody need a hero they could look up to the most. I know it helped me growing up. I was just entering high school the year before it came on and 9/11 happened that year. Everybody was still scared and unsure. KP was confident and brave. She was the hero we needed to get us through that time.
It's so good. It didn't deserve to be swept under the rug as soon as it finished, but that's exactly what Disney did. Happy to see they put it on Disney Plus though.
Kim Possible is my favorite animated Disney show. Back when I was in elementary school and middle school I used to watch it almost every morning before my bus picked me up and I'd have a bowl of cereal. Good memories :)
This will always be my favorite disney channel show!! Favorite episodes...oh there are so many, "go team go, present, past and future episode arc, the graduation two parter series ending"

One thing I was hoping Doug would cover was Kim's parents. This is the first show aimed at kids that I can remember, where the parents were not completely incompetent (See Fairly Oddparents). Kim's parents where that exact opposite being a literal rocket scientist and a doctor. They also offered Kim quality advise that KIM ASKED FOR!
Dr. Drakken is still my favourite character of all time. That character, and trying to emulate his voice were the reasons I got into voice acting. This show will always be special to me for that. I even got to meet Drakken's voice actor last year, and shook his hand! That was a good day.
John is really funny. My friend met him and told John about a funny plot idea and John said it's definitely a Drakken scheme.
I'd say some of the best episodes involve showing how capable Ron is. We always see him as a buffoon. But when you see the episodes where he turns evil, we underestimate what he's really capable of.
It's easy to forget because he's bumbling, but he's one of the few people who can keep pace with Kim!
"Stoppable how did you get into my house?".
Classic :D
That part was awesome, all we thought was him just pacing about in his own house but then the teacher showed up with that line. Hi-la-rious
Kim Possible is one of the greatest shows from the happiest place on Earth. I admired it's art style, which it's the main inspiration for Danny Phantom and The Spectacular Spiderman.
I swear, this is definitely the series where you hoped and prayed Ron would hook up with Kim and destroy the Friend-Zone completely.
After they finally hooked up, I have to admit, even I still didn't see it coming... lol.
"So what's the Sitch"
- Kim Possible
Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me!🙌
His name is Stitch
I was in the perfect age range when this show came out. And this is still one of my favorite female lead protagonist cartoons out there.
Kim is awesome.
this was definitely my favorite TV show as a kid until I watched Avatar / gravity falls but it still holds a special place in my heart as one of Disney channel's best animated shows of the early 2000s
Doug contradicted himself when he said "I got all the DVDs, downloaded all the episodes."
Yes, I noticed that as well, I was waiting to see if anyone else would!😆
SirTyJensen not all the show is on DVD
It actually would make sense in this context:
"I purchased the DVDs to legally own the series, and then I download the episodes for the sake of using the footage".
Unfortunately Disney does not like to release its entire library on home videos. So my guess is the DVDS did not have all the episodes. And it's gonna take a while for them to even consider releasing on DVD. If at all.
I'm 50% sure all the KP episodes can be legally downloaded by purchasing them via iTunes or Amazon.
Me: (hears Kim Possible jingle somewhere)
Also me: *WHAT’S THE SITCH?*
Lil_A_20 2.0 Gosh, one of my coworkers had the KP jingle as her ringtone, and the first time it went off, my attention was instantly split from looking for customers to locating the source of the ringtone, like a dog hearing the word 'treat' or something XD
I had to get it as my ringtone, too
I wish I could go back in time and discover Kim Possible during my childhood again ❤
I've been rewatching this show lately and yeah I would say the humor still holds up and though I didn't bust out laughing it still made me chuckle and put a big smile on my face
"The first episode after they hook up" you and I remember Kim Possible very differently
One of my favourite Tv Series growing up 😁 Still love Kim Possible to this day along with the film 'So The Drama', re-watched this series countless times ❤
Kim Possible is my all time favorite animated Disney show
Mine too.
I always loved when ron does martial arts.
On one hand it seems forced, cliche and contrived letting the incompetent character be great at something they clearly shouldn't be great at. But it just works with ron so well.
It was always nice seeing him doing it whenever he did and he actually did look bad ass.
It's like seeing chuckie from rugrats stand up to angelica. From rugrats to all grown up he only did so occasionally but, like with ron, it strangely just worked.
In both cases it felt right.
One thing you realize after you grew up is the Kim was the one who was friend-zoned by Ron!
A very good point.
James Moyner you’re actually right. While I remember Ron had a tech-savvy girlfriend that was the thing for a couple of episodes. While Kim had was mainly chasing this one guy for season 1 and never really seriously trying to be with another guys until the movie.
That and the “mood swing” episode where Ron “dumped Kim
@@jennaforest827 Don't forget both one of the cheerleaders and the girl who does martial arts. Damn Ron was a swinger
i'm just gonna leave this here: Phineas and Ferb
Yeah I really want him to review it!
The movie didn't really hooked him on watching this show, unlike with KP's movies.
@@nicr-ff9hc well he's just missing out. Better Phineas and Ferb than Star Vs The Forces of Evil.
A worthy successor to Kim Possible.
@@logannottheonefrommarvel9917 He already said he likes SVTFOE so too bad for you. :) I think Phineas and Ferb is kinda lame though; it's like the creator just wants to write songs instead of tell stories. Phineas himself is boring af. The only good part of the show is Doof and Perry.
BOTH This and Gravity Falls I've been re-watching on the Disney+ and I've been loving it
Kim possible was such a great show I'm glad I grew up watching this show.
Kim/Ron is one of those ships I shipped even before know what a ship is
I feel that. Back when shipping was contained in message boards.
I've seen this show as a kid and I loved it. Still do.
I would definently consider Kim Possible to be one of the best shows Disney ever made, it even had Smash Mouth in it lol
Do a review of Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
He wasn't such a fan of the movies that opened and finished the show, so I don't think he would.
I've waited years for this. Thank you for finally giving Kim the spotlight, Doug!
I really would love for Doug to sit down and watch Hey Arnold, which is a really well done series.
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable is in my opinion the best Cartoon duo ever. Well actually Fin and Jake are up there...
Though not a masterpiece like Gravity Falls or Batman: The Animated Series, this show was fun. Though the finale was incredible.
Now we just need Doug to cover Recess. Now that was a smarter show than it had any right to be
Miranda Barden you should watch KP. It’s on Disney+. This show actually had great writing.
Do you really think that gravity falls is a masterpiece
JoshEntertainment yes
@@benwasserman8223 As a fan of Hogan's Heroes, which Recess was essentially an animated parody of, I hope he covers the similar traits between both shows.
This was such a great series. I love it
i didn’t watch it for years, and then disney + came around, and i watched the whole series, plus the the m two animated movies, and i realized i still remembered the theme song!!!
"Emotion Sickness" was the best episode!
I remember this show, but I never watched an episode. All I like about it was the main theme, which was cool and fun. Yet, I only remember seeing bits and pieces of certain episodes and they still stick with me, like the Halloween episode that had Ron dressed as the bottom half of a pantomime horse singing the Trick or Treat song, that one moment where Ron complained about there being no bendy straws at the restaurant, and the high school dance scene where Kim and Ron kiss.
Just got into this show this year and absolutely loved it. Amazing comedy, great animation/action, memorable characters and loads of variety in terms of plot-lines. Shame I didn't grow up with it, but this only proves that it's equally great for both kids and adults.
Shego making fun of Draken I can watch all day 😂
It really makes me laugh when I think about how if this show was released for the very first time today with no variations whatsoever it would get torn apart by the internet
I love the episodes with Evil Ron
Kim and Ron have a better relationship than Star and Marco
Honestly, Kim and Ron's relationship is so unrealistic. Has the shy, dweeby, squeeky voiced social outcast ever gotten the good-looking cheerleader chick in real life? As in, even once in human history ? I know it's fiction and kid's show fiction at that, and it's nice to be able to go full ham with romance in fiction. But I just can't get behind those kinda "auw look two people on different positions on a social hiarachy are in a loving relationship"-relationships. I just always keep being reminded that in real life their relationship either wouldn't have happened or would've turned into a dumpster fire after only a couple of days. And yes, I know that in the show Kim is presented as a bit of a social outcast, but the fact that they even had to do that to not make her friendship & romance with Ron feel off just proves the point even more. The point is that her character is written to be like your typical "popular pretty girl", even though she isn't for some reason.
@@jamesg6660 But Ron and Kim were established best friends. It's not like they had no idea who each other were and randomly got together, they've been close for a while and the show clearly represents that as the seasons go on, they develop more feelings for each other the more they go through. I don't think it's that unrealistic. I'm not sure if the show implies Ron isn't good-looking, just nerdy, and Kim clearly genuinely likes him.
@@Hannah-zm4et still their relationship is better than Star and Marco's relationship
@@Hannah-zm4et I still think it's unrealistic, to be honest. Friendship and love are entirely different things, and while I think social hierarchy and stuff like one's level of aesthetic quality has no affect on friendship it _absolutely_ has an affect on romance. Ron ain't exactly designed in a way where it seems like he's meant to be good-looking, as well. He's not flat out ugly or anything, but he very obviously looks dweeby & not the stereotypically handsome type.
It makes my blood boil when they have those "will they, won't they?" romance plots that get resolved at the VERY END of the show. It's unhealthy and manipulative.
I don't know why but cartoon show villans always seem to be my favourite characters.
Kim had such an awesome rogues gallery. I loved them all:Drakken,Shego,Monkey Fist, the Seniors,Duff,Motor Ed..
This was LITERALLY the BEST show on Disney Channel. Prove me wrong!
I'm afraid I can only prove you right!
Gargoyles existed.
Ron's voice actor is the older brother from Boy meets world.
And was the voice of Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond.
I think some of my favorite Kim Possible episodes were the ones that involved Camp Wannaweep. Those episodes were Ron’s moment to shine. And despite being a girl, I always related to him more.
I loved the first Camp Wannaweep episode they did. It was like a creepy Disney version of Creature of the Black Lagoon.
Well, my math homework isn’t getting done today.
Deuce Moncura
Ya see, once you watch one review, you can’t stop.
@@Chad_Eldridge
for that, you've gotta be extra smart. meaning you set the channel intro as your alarm to wake up.
@@Chad_Eldridge I'm not sure if this is genuine or not, but it does go too far.
This was one of the Fave 3 Disney series for me alongside Gravity Falls and Lilo & Stitch
Not gonna lie, my dad was the one who liked this show when I was little. I liked it as much as any kid liked colorful Saturday morning cartoons, but this was his (a 30-something-year-old man) favorite airing cartoon at the time. Heck, he even had it as a theme for one of his birthdays. We got him the cake that had the make-up kit shaped like Kim's face, and he put it with his MLB memorabilia (a high honor I assure you).
I remember growing up with this show! I had the naked mole rat rap by memory, I use to collect the McDonald’s toys, my ringtone is even the one Kim had. Am I saying it’s the best show, not really, but I still remember this show extremely from my childhood.
Disney did a great job with it for sure.
He missed the opportunity to end the video with "Catch 'what the sitch' is about"! Dang it, Doug! XD
Happy 20th Anniversary, Kim Possible!
i friggen love this show and i love ron and kim! this was a severely underrated show
Drakken,&,Shego Are Always Gonna be my Favorite Villainous Duo While Senor Sr.,&,Senor Sr. Jr. Are Always Gonna be my Favorite Villainous Duo Entrance
please tell me he's going to review Star Wars the Clone Wars (2008) this december....that would be amazing.
Hell, Star Wars Clone Wars would work really well too. I'm down with either!
dude that show was so fucking baller. I mean my god Anakin went from being one of the most hated SW characters to one of the most loved by like the end of the first season lol. Would love to hear doug's thoughts on it.
Which one?
@@spearmintpony7105 the 2008 one. I know there's also that 2001-05 one and I would love for doug to talk on both but especially the 08 one.
He won't be doing this, as technically, Disney doesn't air this worldwide as part of its library.
My favorite episode was always the one about Shego’s family and backstory.
Fun Fact: Will Friedle, Ron's voice actor, also voiced Deadpool in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. The episode was HILARIOUS and Will was perfect in as the Merc with the Mouth.
So many fond memories of my dad and I watching this show.
To this day I have the Kimunicator jingle set as the message alert on my phone.
This was probably my most loved Disney Channel show in those pre-teen/early teen years and I still get the urge to watch episodes or listen to songs from it on occasion.
Ron actually steps up in the last episode. Booyah.
Kamen Rider Kiva?
@@michaelrhett4958 The very same.
Zydrake Shogun Cool
I love this show
Kim was every guy's dream crush in the early 2000s
Including me
I would never admit it back then, but you can BET I was captivated by her. Miss those days.
Every?
Mr. Jameson: *laughs hysterically* You serious??
I remember this one from my childhood back in elementary school after reading a Disney magazine that had a comic in it where Rufus is gigantic. After that I watched a few episodes and the show was fine. Then I found the Kim and Ron ship fandom. Most recent memory is that god-awful live-action movie from last year. Let's hope things get better from here! Also I made the theme song transition music for my Mission Impossible entry in my Best So Far of 2018 list.
*Kim Possible:* _SO WHAT'S THE SITCH?!_
*Teenagers in the 2010s:* OKAY BOOMER!
I was out of high school when Kim Possible and I watched it when ever I came a across it and when they did marathons of the show.
I enjoyed this show growing up especially the second movie.
Such a wild but fun show Ioved watching this as a kid
Emotion Sickness and Stop Team Go the best of the whole series.
This was a childhood favorite show! I started rewatching it when I first got Disney + and it's still good, even after so many years. I still emember Kim Possible, and American Drago: Jake Long, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, and Scooby-Doo (both reruns of the original and the newest iteration at the time, What's New, Scooby-Doo?)!
KP came out just when everybody need a hero they could look up to the most. I know it helped me growing up. I was just entering high school the year before it came on and 9/11 happened that year. Everybody was still scared and unsure. KP was confident and brave. She was the hero we needed to get us through that time.
I love the 3 part time travel story that was repackaged as A Sitch In Time. "Everybody in the future is ripped".
Ironically I decided to watch this this morning before going to work on Disney+
God I missed this show
It's so good. It didn't deserve to be swept under the rug as soon as it finished, but that's exactly what Disney did. Happy to see they put it on Disney Plus though.
Kim Possible is my favorite animated Disney show. Back when I was in elementary school and middle school I used to watch it almost every morning before my bus picked me up and I'd have a bowl of cereal. Good memories :)
I remember laughing my ass off as a kid every time Ron lose his pants. I don't know why, but I found it HILARIOUS
I just bought the first 2 seasons on dvd this show is gold
This will always be my favorite disney channel show!! Favorite episodes...oh there are so many, "go team go, present, past and future episode arc, the graduation two parter series ending"
Doug's thoughts on Ron and his voice at 2:42 are identical to my thoughts on Nostalgia Critic.
TIME for Recess to get a DisneyCember episode.
