9/10
ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATED SERIES I'VE SEEN.........STARTING WITH SEASON 2
27 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
My introduction to Kim Possible was the movie "So the Drama." I was around 6-7 years old at the time. I remember loving it as a kid and would always watch it. Prior to Phineas and Ferb, this was the animated series I always watched on Disney Channel. I really loved Rufus and the chemistry between Ron and Kim. I wasn't one of the people who had to wait seasons just so they could be a couple. Not knowing that So the Drama was supposed to be the finale, i never got the story arcs in the show. I just watched the series every night not knowing that Disney airs the episodes randomly. Now that I do know that it was supposed to end with the 3rd season, I watched the entire series in chronological (not production and broadcast) order.

SEASON 1: A SOLID START FOR THE SERIES (8.1)

The season is not quite as remarkable as I thought, with not fantastic animation and jokes that are for kids, but this season is still pretty good with mostly funny jokes, great voice acting, very relatable scenarios, pretty good action and, of course, Kim, Shego, Ron, Drakken and Rufus

Best episode:

"Tick-Tick-Tick" - Purely hilarious and very action packed. I love the introduction to the series sort of main villains.

"Attack of the Killer Bebes" - action packed and very funny!

"Mind Games" - It's not as funny as it could've been but it does give us a chance to know the characters more.

"October 31st" - The lesson is a bit childish, but it does let us know Kim a bit more. Also, great action scenes and villain rivalries.

"Kimitation Nation" - action packed and very funny. That "Home of Kim Style" joke is hilarious! Also, I love Shego and Drakken's quarrel. They are, by far, the show's best and funniest villains

Worst episodes:

" Royal Pain" - The episode itself is pretty good but not as good as the other episodes. Also, I didn't like the Prince and I don't think he's funny. He's pretty annoying, actually. I hope he doesn't reappear.

SEASON 2: AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE 1ST SEASON (8.4)

This season is a bit better compared to season 1. The animation has improved greatly while the jokes are now more aimed at adults. The action scenes, thanks to the better animation, now look better and the characters are more fleshed out. Unfortunately, this season also showed some of Ron's slightly dislikable side. (I still like him, just not as much as I used too)

Best episodes:

"The Golden Years" - very funny episode and Kim's situation with her grandma is very relatable. Also, I love Rufus in this episode.

"Naked Genius" -very funny concept

"Grudge Match" - Okay. Even though some of its functions are now similar to 2021 smartphones, I WANT KIM'S KIMMUNICATOR.

"Exchange" - I love Kim and Ron's dynamic but if everytime they're seperated is like this episode, I'll be okay with it!

"A Very Possible Christmas" - I really like Ron and Drakken's banters. Also, if they were real, I'd spend christmas with the Possibles.

"Go Team Go" - Team Go's mostly awesome, especially Shego. The fight at the end is amazing.

"Partners" - I like DNAmy and Drakken together. I didn't know she was voiced by Melissa Mccarthy.

"Ron Millionaire" - Even though Ron was a bit dislikable in this episode, I do think that anyone with that much money would still go a bit out of control in terms of spending it and Ron did learn a valuable lesson in the end. Also, the interactions of Shego and Drakken in this episode are very funny!

"Triple S" - the parachute scene is so far the most unbelievable but best action scene in the series

"Rewriting History" - the ending ruins the episode but it is still entertaining. I wish it didn't end like that.

Worst Episodes:

"The Fearless Ferret" - Ron's pretty annoying in this episode. He's better off as the sidekick.

SEASON 3: THE GREAT SHOW THAT I REMEMBER (8.8)

This season is so good (and short) I finished it within a day and I don't have a least favorite episode. This is how good I remember Kim Possible was when I was a kid: Very funny, more Kim-Ron shipping and more appearances from the villains Shego and Drakken.

Best episodes:

"Steal Wheels" - I didn't like Motor Ed that much in his debut episode but he, Drakken and Shego make a hilarious team. As for Kim, I like that she really treasures her friends, as seen in this episode.

"Emotion Sickness" - I don't ship Shego and Drakken but they are very funny here. I SHIP KIM AND RON. I loved how they did it here (the first kiss) without ruining their friendship or rushing into their relationship (and doing some fan service).

"Bonding" - I love Barkin and Ron together. Will Friedle and Patrick Warburton are both very talented and funny.

"Bad Boy" - I love this episode. The fourth wall joke near the beginning was funny and a wink to the series' supposed end in 'So the Drama.' As for the plot, I love evil Ron and good Dr. Drakken. I will miss them and I hope they come back. I also liked how Shego interacted with evil Ron.

"Dimension Twist" - Cool concept. Also, I really love Rufus. He's my second favorite pet on a tv show (Next to Perry from 'Phineas and Ferb')

"Rappin Drakken" - Drakken's song and the naked mole rap are both amazing while Rufus' "Na na na" is catchy.

"Gorilla Fist" - A funny episode with DNAmy and Monkey Fist. Also, Kim obviously has a crush on Ron.

SEASON 4: SEASON 5 PLEASE? IF NOT, I'LL BE OKAY (8.6)

One of the best final seasons I've seen. This season not only ends perfectly, but 90% of its episodes are some of the series' best (especially the finale). I'd want another season just because of that satisfying finale BUT if Disney doesn't make another Kim Possible project, I'd be perfectly happy. (Especially if the only Kim Possible project they can make is that live action film)

Best episodes:

"Ill Suited" - First episode where Kim and Ron are officially a couple (or is it dating?). Love it! I also like the change in the credits.

"Trading Faces" - Love the Possible family interaction. The Tweebs got a major upgrade in academics, voice, role and design! This episode also proves that Candace from Phineas and Ferb and Sharpay from the High School Musical movies, Ashley Tisdale, has a great voice!

"Mad Dogs and Aliens" - Warmonga's pretty cool and I wish I could see more of a Kim-Shego team up. Also, the credits are so funny, they're starting to become my favorite parts of the show.

"Clothes Minded" - Kim's fashion dilemma, Hers and Ron's college admission problems and Shego and Drakken make this one of the most relatable and funniest episodes. Also, I love that Rufus stole his ideas from those fashion criminals.

"Clean Slate" - Kim and Ron's dilemma is actually heartbreaking while Shego and Drakken's story is hilarious.

"Stop Team Go" - Good Shego is funny (especially with Barkin) and I actually hoped that she stayed good. I did miss her interactions with Drakken (who has his own hilarious story involving a jar of pickles). I also missed Evil Ron.

"Homecoming Upset" - they may not be likeable but I kinda ship Señor Senior, Jr and Bonnie.

"Chasing Rufus" - funniest episode focusing on Rufus. I don't ship him and Camille Leon's pet but they are pretty funny together.

"Oh No! Yono!" - this episode is a satisfying conclusion to one of the series' stories. It even has a dark ending for one of the series' villains.

"Graduation" - The perfect 2-part ending. It has all the things that made the series great: action, funny character banters, unlikely team ups, shipping, etc. It even has a "cliffhanger" in the credits. I can confidently say that this is my favorite episode in the series including the 2 movies.

OVERALL, the series started as a kid-friendly show and not the one I remember from my childhood. However, each season got better and better, making Kim Possible one of the best heroines and best animated series I have seen.
