I've been re-watching a lot of classic Cartoon Cartoons (remember when Cartoon Network shows were called that?), mainly because during finals when I want to take a short break, the fact that most of these shows consist of 10-minute long episodes or less really makes them a perfect watch in-between study periods.
Lately I've been re-watching a lot of this show as well, and I have to say that in all honesty, I think that this show may have just aged the best out of all of the other CCs, "Dexter's Laboratory" included (even though that's still my favorite CC, admittedly due in part to nostalgia). The jokes are really witty, the characters are extremely entertaining (especially the villains), and the show has quite a bit of clever references that totally flew over my head as a kid, but are fun to notice when I re-watch them now.
As for the characters, the girls are pretty plain on their own but work great together as a group (I almost like to think as them as 3 parts of a single major character, since they are most fun when they are interacting with each other, which thankfully is most of the time), Professor Utonium is one of the more entertaining father-figure characters that I have seen in a comedic cartoon of this sort, and the rest of the regular characters of Townsville are amusing in their own rite. Of course, the most memorable aspect of this show for me was always none other than Mojo-Jojo. His over the top monologues still manage to force a chuckle out of me, and his overall absurdity leads to some of the best episodes in the entire series.
My only real gripe with this show is how it got pretty stale with the seasons that aired past the movie (the movie itself I actually like, though I believe I'm in the minority on that opinion). The episodes become much longer, either last for two segments per episode or even a full 30 minutes, and with the exception of a few episodes in the show, I always hated when the staff made the decision to do this. Like most CCs, PPG worked best as a series of shorts that were quick, fun, and never over-stayed their welcome. A lot of the longer episodes just end up feeling over-winded and drawn out to me, personally. Still, out of all of the CC's that I've been re-watching bits of over the past week, I've been seeming to have the most fun with this show in particular.
Anyone else fans?
