Kim Possible is loved through generations from Toddler to College kids, and maybe even beyond. This show is definitely family oriented. Filled with charming timeless characters, heart-stopping drama, gut-slapping humor, and much more.Kim Possible: The unstoppable red-head who can do anything. Ron Stoppable: Kim's best friend since Pre-K and maybe more. Rufus: The coolest naked mole rat, Ron's pet, and a valuable team Possible member. All kids, mostly aimed toward girls, are taught that you can do anything, as long as they be themselves. It also teaches to keep your friends close, because you will never know where and when you will need them, or when they may need you, but just be glad they are there no matter what. This show is definitely positively aimed at the younger crowd, but like us older kids (or kids at heart) will absolutely love this show. Watch it and Love It!!
As a show, I don't think Kim Possible is as good as Darkwing Duck, Talespin and DuckTales, which are three of the best animated shows ever made(along with Peter Pan and the Pirates, Sonic the Hedgehog, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain), but it is an entertaining show and I think one of the better Disney shows of late(Reccess I love as well). I agree some of the villains are clichéd, but I think like another reviewer said they were meant to be. Some episodes are better than others, as some episodes in the middle seasons are a little iffy and a little lacking. But it started off brilliantly, and after a rocky middle, it redeemed itself.
The animation is fine, I have no real qualms of it, and the music was cool. The writing is witty, deliciously ironic and funny, the story lines in general are original, clever and fun and the characters are delightful. Kim is smart, beautiful and sassy, Ron is often hilarious with a dorky yet endearing personality and Rufus is really cute, cool and even funnier than Ron. I liked the parents, sometimes they don't feature significantly, but they aren't entirely useless while in terms of villains Dr Drakken and Shego are the most entertaining. The voice acting, both lead and guest is top-notch, so overall, Kim Possible is actually a very watchable show. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Great show! Loved almost every episode. Loved the action the suspense, the villains and of course Kim and Ron. With every season it seemed to bet better.
The stories are good. Having Kim and Ron become close friends to well... boyfriend and girlfriend. If I had a favorite villain. Drakken and Shego would be the top two.
This is one Disney show I will never forget

I am absolutely _shocked_ at the reaction of some of the opinions presented here about what I think is actually a rather well written series. Obviously many here have not clued into concepts like irony, subtlety, and satire. Yes, some of the villains are clichéd, but they're _supposed_ to be clichéd. Like how the big supervillains are always supposed to have a secret lair, or always have to give away their big plan to Kim before they finish her off. (A favorite of mine is the villain who also works at a Costco-type super store, and instead of holding Kim above a pool of killer sharks, uses a pool of bargain-priced snapping turtles)
The dialog is pretty sharp, and I think it's actually one of the more quotable television series along with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gilmore Girls. My favorite lines? Probably how in the future, Duff Killigan declares himself "the world's deadliest cyborg golfer", which doesn't mean much to Ron, since "cyborg golfer" can't be a particularly crowded field.
To those who complain about the series not being "realistic"- you're not getting it at all. (People are actually complaining about the careers of Kim's parents? If I have to explain why them being a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon is sheer brilliance, then you're beyond help.) It's not a serious action show- it's part action, part satire, with some abstract humor and teen angst thrown in.

I used to absolutely love this show, then I stopped liking it, but as the new season came out, I started to like it a lot more again. It has a certain essence to it, that just keeps you wanting more. It is action filled, not as much as non-cartoons, but still pretty good to satisfy. I like most of the episodes, but some of them are okay. The new season is definitely the best. The first few seasons are also good. The voices of all of the characters have really good chemistry, and they all blend together really well. The plot of all of the episodes/movies is really well put together, and a crowd pleaser. Even if you don't like these kinds of shows, you will say that it is good. If you haven't watched this show before, I would definitely suggest it, whenever it is on.

Kim Possible joins the group of sisters who take matters into their own hands. That was also a cracker, though. But now let's talk about the chubby-headed, bare-midriffed, wavy-haired, adolescent-targeted young woman who is not Christina Aguilera.
Just listening for the voice talent is worthwhile. Christy Romano as Kim and Will Friedle as Ron. Drakken, a failure supervillain played by John DiMaggio, is accompanied by Shego, a frustrated and doubtful kung-fu sidekick, played by Nicole Sullivan.
The only downside is that they frequently replay the same few episodes, I believe Disney is on the verge of forging a very promising trend.

The worst thing about this cartoon is that they are just 4 seasons. I would love it if their would be a 5th season or even more.

This is a spontaneous Disney animation series for all viewers to watch and enjoy. The crew did a fabulous job in creating this animation series. The storyline throughout this entire Disney animation series was great and strongly held itself throughout this entire Disney animation series. The cast selection throughout this entire Disney animation series was really fine. They committed and connected well to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry that was displayed throughout this entire Disney animation series between the cast members was terrific which worked. This is a splendid Disney animation series for everyone to watch and enjoy.
On the plus side the animation was great.
I didn't like this show. It failed to engage me. When ever I saw this show on TV I would give it a fair chance. Each chance it would fail.
It had a good run. Many liked it. I didn't. Just wasn't for me.
Disney Filmore was the better crime fighting show.

Nothing is perfect, so stop complaining people.
The voice talent alone is worth tuning in for. Patrick Warburton (David Puddy from Seinfeld) is a teacher, Ricardo Montalban as rich and mildly dangerous Señor Senior, Sr. and his son Nestor Carbonall as vain and stupid muscle bound Señor Senior, Jr. are great. John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama) as failure supervillain Drakken, with annoyed and doubting kungfu sidekick Shego (Nicole Sullivan, who doesn't love Nicole Sullivan?).
Not to mention guest voices like Wendy Malik, Adam West, Brad Garrett, Richard Kind, more.
When Ron and "junior" get in a fight by messing up each other's studly hair, and struggle for the possession of a comb, how can one not be amused? People who hate this show have no sense of humor.
And since when does a cartoon have to be plausible, people?! Is PPG plausible? Samurai Jack? Pokemon? Cowboy Bebop? Up and down the spectrum of animated TV, very little is plausible. Why must KP be?
They explained how she got started, and that should be enough. For those who DON'T know: she started a website with her name to promote her baby sitting service, and was mistaken for mission IMpossible, or team IMpossible, something like that. She decides to solve the case, and the IMpossible team starts getting requests for her to save the day. She decides it's more interesting than baby sitting. What could be more plausible than that? ;)

I like this show, I really do for all the obvious reasons: the adventure plots, the science fiction, the teenage sassiness from 13 year olds that look 17 (don't pretend they don't) and the general humor and radiance of saving the world only to then deal with a pop quiz in the next scene.
One thing I want to say, however, is that Ron is the star of the show. Kim's cool and all but Ron has the personality and the potential for far more character development. I loved it when Kim messed up (the body armor when was a bit painful though). They were excellent moments of seeing the golden girl actually being human.
The villains are clownish but I guess that explains how they can be beaten with some general wits and cheerleading.
That puppy pout thing used to kind of creep me out.
Shego brings a lot of credibility to the whole thing.

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!

KP ist a damn great cartoon series and it's damn underrated.
Some may think it's just a superhero show for little girls, but it's not!
It's full of fun and parodies of film genres, adults and movie fans understand the load of gags, kids may not notice all that.
Good and intelligent stories, some heart, loveable characters, funny villains - ten stars.

I still think this show is one of the best, after 12 years it still has one of the best endings for a kids show it ends on such a high note, I didn't think it needed a awful live action movie after all this time.
I rewatched the entire series recently and it brought back so many memories and reminded me of why I'm attracted to goth girls due to Shego.
Please watch this show

Kim Possible's not meant to be taken as a serious epic or dramatic action show. Its focus on the blend of "saving the world" as a by-the-way activity on the side while handling the ordinary life of being a high school student is part of what makes this show so appealing. Using witty dialogue between the characters, the show often pokes fun at the clichés of villains and action shows. The interactions between each of the hilariously paired characters is really what drives the show. For example, note the team of Kim and Ron (extreme competence and intelligence versus extreme incompetence). Or better yet, note the humorous tension between benign villains and their very evil counterparts. (Dr. Drakken and Shego, and Senor Junior and Senor Senior). This show can be enjoyed on many different levels, which is why it can appeal to such a wide range of age groups.

"Kim Possible" is so far one of the best shows on Disney Channel (and maybe on Television). It has smart dialogue, fluid animation and a lovable art-style and well-written characters. The villains are also quite interesting (expecially Dr Drakken and his assistant Shego, show's main villains) and funny. The show can be repetitive at times, but overall it's original and it has an unique humor (clever humor). It is not a coincidence that this show was renewed in late 2005 for a 4th Season (which is going to start on February 10th 2007) thanks to its strong fan-base. What can I say? If you watch Disney Channel, be sure to catch "Kim Possible".

A show I wish I had seen as a kid but am glad to have seen it know, it is an a amazing show worthy of great praise. Great cast, entertaining character, and jokes that are legitimately funny! Check this show out if you want to see quality cartoon's.
