    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 Review May Contain Spoilers**This was one of the best animated shows I have ever seen. The main reason is the chemistry, wit, and realism of the two lead characters, Kim and Ron. Kim is one of the strongest female leads I have seen in any medium, almost like one James Cameron does. Christy Carlson Romano has the talent for it and makes her totally believable. And Ron is enjoyably goofy, well most of the time, voiced by the great Will Friedle. The supporting characters are a lot of fun too, Drakken and Shego (John "Bender" DiMaggio and the excellent Nicole Sullivan) are the funniest villains I've ever seen, and Patton Oswalt is inspired as Dementor. Patrick Warburton, Gary Cole, and Jean Smart also work their way in for great characters. The animation is also spectacular. The first season was good but a little awkward. Which show's first season isn't? But by the end of Season 3 it was the best looking animation I had seen other than Pixar. Stephen Silver was the lead character designer and his work is brilliant, and very stylish. It's the epitome of character design in animation so far for me. The backgrounds also match the style of the characters, spearheaded by Andy Ice and Alan Bodner. It reminds the viewers of the Ken Anderson/Maurice Noble standards of animation backgrounds and locations. Adam Berry's music was great too. He evoked the classic spy music by James Bond composer John Barry, but also put his own indelible mark on it, blending the classic and cool orchestra music with a very pop feel to it.Seasons 1-3 were outstanding, mostly because while a few episodes were dumb, most (90%) of them were very funny, emotional, and great to watch. By So the Drama, the animation and writing reached their zeniths, and the best moment was the much anticipated kiss between Kim and Ron, becoming a couple. Then Season 4 came. It was great that the fans had a say and broke Disney's 65 episode policy, that's very inspirational. But the season was a mixed bag. Most of the episodes got too zany or were very forced. I mean some of the ideas were too far out for most viewers, and Ron is made to look like an almost undesirable person because of his goofiness. There are some genuine moments of love and a great look at the relationship between Kim and Ron, but most elements get lost in the shuffle. I wish the Graduation episode was a little more emotional, but hey, not my call.In short this show is excellent. I knock it off of 10 stars because of the mixed bag that was Season 4, but it was still great. Hopefully Disney doesn't let this lie dormant, and something new comes of it in the future.

    Kim Possible is a girl who with the help of her friend Ron Stoppabe saves the world from evil such as their arch enemy Doctor Drakken and his partner in crime Shego. The action generally involves fighting between the two sides and then KIm and ROn inevitably win. Not that its a bad show... for the plots are not overy simple and i am merely stating facts... perhaps they confusingy oversimplify things... but the characters are quite good... and this is quite a good show... quite entertaining to watch... kim possible says 'sitch' instead of 'situation' a lot... seems to sort of be her catchphrase of sorts since she says it in the opening title sequence... yes quite a good show to watch and very entertaining to watch.
