Review:
Now the Powerpuff Girls are back again with a brand new COMPLETE series set!!! This commemorative 10th anniversary collection has six double-sided discs each one representing a complete season. So let me break it down for those of you in the know.
Season 1:
It's pretty much exactly the same as the complete first season set which is also available.
Season 2:
Favorite episode: "The Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever" - In that Richard Scarry titled episode, the Girls turn a rainy day in Townsville into a fun day of pretend.
Season 3:
Favorite episode: "Powerprof" - The Professor dons a special super suit so he can spend more time with his girls. But the Professor really isn't all that's cracked up to be.
Extras: The music videos by Shonen Knife and The Apples in Stereo. I just wish they also added the videos by Devo and Cherish, though....
Season 4:
Favorite episode: "Nuthin' Special" - Blossom has ice breath. Bubbles habla espanol. And Buttercup ? Well, see for yourself.
Extras: A Mayor blooper reel and the holiday special "Twas the Fight Before Christmas".
Season 5:
Favorite episode: "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" - A lot of my favorite episodes are from the 5th season, but I have to say I liked the lost rock opera episode the most where the girls trade their powers to a magical gnome for a new way of life. I don't know why they never aired it on TV in the first place; it's a great episode despite that almost all the dialogue is sung.
Extras: 3 Mayor promos and one called "Mitch Rocks" where Mitch Mitchellson tells you what's cool and what's lame. So far the set has only one of those three shorts. Why can't they put in the other two ? Now THAT'S lame.
Season 6:
Favorite episode: "Mo' Linguish" - My favorite Mojo Jojo episode has the evil simian teaching an English Speaking class making Townsville's citizens talk elaborately like him.
Extras: An impressive in-depth documentary on series creator Craig McCracken as well as his latest special episode as seen on Cartoon Network: "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!"
In conclusion, these tiny titans are still the cutest super heroines that ever graced Cartoon Network's airwaves. Whether or not you own previous DVDs including the complete first season, this super set will be THE penultimate Powerpuff set EVER ! And if you take out all six inserts out of their cases, you'll discover a special poster designed by Craig himself !
Grade B (plus) - Great for girls.
