9/10
Sweet show,if silly
27 April 2005
As a thirty-ish male,bachelor life-long,this is something I may not want to admit TOO freely to but,I've enjoyed this show quite a bit,myself. Since I'm a cartoon connoisseur,I think I'm allow one "unusual" pleasure offered on the CArtoon Network,tho.

The show,why unabashedly child-like in its make-up,is still actually quite clever and smart for its audience. Three hyper-charged little girls that mimic various ranges of "cute girl" stereotypes:Blossom,the smart one(redhead),Bubbles,the sweet one(blonde,probably my favorite) and Buttercup,the tough one(brunette) all bind their talents together to fight evil and crime before bedtime. Their father-figure is a bachelor named Dr.Utonix,and they save the day for the dim-bulbed mayor and his tall,faceless adviser. Their chief villain is a loquacious talking brainiac ape named Mojo-Jojo(an impression I find WAY too easy to do) but the girls find themselves fighting off a variety of baddies. PLenty of pop-culture references and the creator McCracken has done enough clever twists with the characters and their stories that he keeps it pretty fresh season after season.

A recommend for kids,literal and figurative.
