- Well, it's about time I talk about the original Powerpuff Girls cartoon again isn't it? Haha yeah I realize I'm very late on this, but I wanted to save it for this specific occasion: ranking videos.
What do you guys think? Would you be down for more videos like this in the future? I'm currently working on another one already as we speak, but I'm open to further suggestions if you guys have any! What did and did not work? I'm open to any and all criticism, as I want these videos to be the best they can possibly be! Let me know what you think of the new background as well (My gf Taylor made that, link to her twitter below)!

It’s odd. The last few seasons of PPG always felt like a fever dream to me. Like I watched it when I was a kid, and now years later, I have vague memories of scenes or images I could have sworn were imaginary. Does that seem weird? Yeah, probably.
Nope. Same.
No same. I remember watching the city of clipsville and and nuthin special but for a long time I thought it was a figment of my imagination
I feel the same thing too. Even when I bought the Complete Series DVD and watched those episodes, it's still a faint memory.
I feel the same even through I’m a hardcore fan, I mostly remember the first four seasons and only the first two episodes of the rowdy ruff boys appearing but I think with the rowdyruff boys as a kid I hated them because they almost killed and made the girl’s think they couldn’t be superhero’s because the RRB defeated them, but as I got older and could go on CZcams I learned about the other episodes they where in. When I was younger I hated the villains because they where bad guys but now I love them because they are bad guys, sorry if this became a rant or whatever about the RRB I just like talking about the PPG and the shows characters.
Same. The episode for me that felt imaginary was I See A Funny Cartoon In Your Future. Oh, and Ploys R Us. I'm glad I know there were a few gems I missed, but not many.
Allow me to summarize “Save Mojo.”
PPGs: Not so fast, Mojo Jojo!
MJ: Public, I’m being oppressed.
Public: Not so fast, PPGs!
*innaudible shouting while Mojo carries on with his evil plan*
*Rinse and repeat for about three more times if memory serves*
@@Cohaki It was boring, but it and GGM were ahead of their time. Still boring.
I don't think that was very boring.
Monotuns. Isn't it
Yeah, I don’t really like that episode.
that episode wasn’t the best, but _far_ from the worst.
season 4 is my favorite. episodes like him riddle diddle, forced kin, members only and power-noia are just woah. specially power-noia. i just love that episode so much. i think it deserved a shoutout at least
Power-noia is one of my favorites as well! As much as I would have liked, I didn't list every episode because the video would be twice as long lol!
McCrillis Nsiah it isn’t actually. it’s the season 4 finale, when the art style started to change
@@ShadowStreak I'd love an in depth discussion of how you list your favorite to least favorite of the three sisters and the villains.
ive never seen members only but i watched forced kin on boomerang last week & really liked it. im 26 & still watch it all the time
But power-Noia is a season five episode right?
I think they perfected the art style in Seasons 5 and 6. Everyone loves to go on about cel animation but I really like the digital ink animation. It cleaned up the show *a lot* - the colors are much more vibrant and the animation is smoother. Plus the 3D effects are very neat. If only the episodes had more action lol.
MiamiBoy02 at least we have aspiration am i right
the power puff girls rule animation was the best for me tbh
@@jungvxyy Now with the revival I hope it's that animation but better.
Same thing with Spongebob. Some people complain that the show’s new art style is bad compared to season one’s cel shading. Although the modern art style has flaws, I kinda like it more since we get more expressiveness from the characters alongside vibrant colors.
@@FanSeitz i just hope craig gets somebody as awesome as tom kane 2 play professor & him again. i didnt know tom played him too when i was a kid & could never tell if him was a guy either cuz of his voice. it sucks that he had a stroke & had 2 retire :( i was bummed when i heard. im gonna miss him in it :( ive been praying 4 him, just did last night & will again 2night. get well soon tom aka professor & him :(
Chris Savino was put in charge of PPG and Dexter just as they went bad, coincidence?
That guy is the Harvey Weinstein of animation!
well Chris Savino redeemed himself with the loud house, right? i mean some episodes aren’t great but it’s a pretty good show overall.
Its like some type of conspiracy or something with how they both have the same problems in their final seasons. Bad timing, sluggish pacing and bad humor. I wonder what Chris was even thinking lol.
I THINK NOT!!!!
Absolutely not.
I would love to see a video where you talk about an episode that you love that everybody else doesn’t like, and vice versa!
I wouldn't like him to make reviews of p.p.g z episodes. Not to mention it's full of M.L.P. voices wich is another thing he likes seriously two for the price of one what more could you want?
I can tell you an episode I always hated as a kid that others liked. Never liked any Harold Smith family episodes. I didn't wanna see some loser in fuzzy red pajamas wielding a hairdryer. I wanted to see a crazy villain or quirky plot where the girls run from some cootie-spreading boy like Harry Pits.
Lemonaise for me an episode I love that everyone else hates is Neighbor Hood. An episode I hate that everyone else loves is Not So Awesome Blossom.
The most notable thing about season 5 for me which I'm surprised you didn't mention was the return of the Rowdyruff Boys. The episodes that had them were some of the best ones to come out of that season in my opinion.
i loved their return episode! yeah some of the stuff they did was kinda icky but it’s still one of my favorite eps from the entire series
oh, and also bubble boy was a good episode too
@@frutigeraerogrl I know iz gross tho-
But ye iz still a good season (in my opinion)
Admittedly, the later seasons of this show (the post-movie episodes, if you will) weren't as great as the first few seasons, but I'll take those episodes over anything from the reboot anyday.
+come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! Shadow doesn't need to change his content just because you want him to.
@@stephenwells6434 I don't want change, just a little break, change of pace, rejuvenating. He's channel really become stale Nowdays I mean seriously he made a video about power of four two years before then remake it but this time episode by episode. That we definitely didn't need! Also why do you think I'm suggesting p.p.g z? It's different enough to be refreshing yet familiar enough to not scare away! I'm not saying he should review toad patrol or fat dog mendoza on a whim. Suggestions, and without further computer knowledge it's all I got man.
His channel is what he wants it to be. He decided at the beginning that he was going to review the PPG reboot episode-by-episode. That's what he has been doing from the very start, and that's what people have been coming to this channel to watch. If you're tired of it, then watch something else. It's not like this is the only channel on CZcams. There are channels that do talk about things like MLP and anime.
And for the record, he said when he made that Power of Four video that he intended to do proper reviews of each episode in the special once he got to them. The video he did when it first came out was a "first impressions" video, as is clearly stated in the TITLE OF THE VIDEO. His proper reviews go into much greater detail.
@@stephenwells6434 I'm just saying, the specials are really not much to talk about and dissect, I didn't watch much of the reboot but it's obvious even to me that:"what you see is what you get " so the rest of the videos about it are pretty pointless, it's the same thing nostalgia critic does a lot the Disneycembers he made become NC reviews! And I already told you these are suggestions wich can be both ignored or headed I don't care what happens. But belive me when I say I subscribed to a LOT of CZcams channels and a lot of them is on hiatus or keep putting out less than satisfying content.
come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! Look if you don’t like what he’s doing then go find another CZcamsr. It’s that simple. Because pushing and pushing someone to change their content for your own sake is only gonna annoy them and make them ignore you. Besides you’re not only annoying him at this point you’re annoying us with your brattiness too. PS PPGZ sucks.
I still want to see you review Every episode of the original PPG's. But this is a good start.
Now Ranking every episode, That would be a Challenge.
I really like to see you covering
"SEE ME, FEEL ME, GNOMEY"
There is just so much to talk about and I also want to know your opinion about the episode
Pls do this
I can pretty much guarantee that WILL happen at some point in the future. It's inevitable.
It was NEVER EVEN AIRED in this country. In fact, we didn't get it until 2009...on DVD.
@@gregzotter6189 however the episode was shown everywhere outside the US
10:27 scenes like this are definitely missing in the new series. the quick flashes accompanied by a riff, its like classic ppg.
Mojo Jojo is my favorite character simply because he wears a cape and a helmet.
WeegeeSlayer Bubbles is my favorite character because I could relate to her 💙
Mmhm
@@HackiePuffs bubbles is my favorite Powerpuff girl and my favorite character
Meanwhile in an AU Craig McCracken is the director of the reboot and it got stellar reception.
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 And it got the samurai jack treatment giving it an amazing ending having their final season/final two seasons in adult swim
Jul 18, 2022: Hello, there.
I notice after the movie that Tara Strong's voice has gotten deeper at that point because whenever Bubbles was either angry or crying she sounded like toot from drawn together whenever she was angry and timmy turner whenever she cried.
That is a very nice ranking list. To me, I like the older seasons for the humor, action and characters, but I like the newer seasons for the visuals. Though that's not to say that the older seasons have bad visuals, it is just better looking for the newer seasons in my opinion.
Yeah this list is pretty accurate, the only thing I like about season five and six are the ways the girls are drawn
My Opinion
#6: Season 6
#5: Season 5
#4: Season 3
#3: Season 4
#2: Season 2
#1: Season 1
So it just got worse over time for u??
@@xsunnyxmisty8389 it's down to up, bad to amazing
I still heavily enjoy the later seasons. Simian Says, Nuttn Special, Divide and Counqur and Feel me See me Gnome me are some of my favorates.
Me too. That seasons was my fist seasons.
I actually caught only about seven to ten episodes of the show, but I'm in love with it!
A testiment of how great it was!
Robin is definitely overrated, but she also delivers one of my favorite jokes in the entire series. You know the one I'm referring to.
Seasons 1-4: Amazing
Seasons 5-6: Great
Movie: Amazing
Anime: Okay
Dance pansted or however you spell it: Never watched
Reboot: *someone summon the FBI*
How would you rate power puff girls rule
@@dahliajamison6253 never actually watched it, did you watch it?
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 are you talking about dance pansted?
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 it was terrible 😭 they removed some of the og villains and added new ones, and the new ones aren’t nearly _half_ as good as the old ones
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 i’m just going to assume you don’t like the powerpuff girls, because hearing from what you’ve said, you don’t seem to enjoy it
I love the original series, but this does make me think that bringing the Powerpuff Girls back without the original creator was in and of itself a bad idea.
Best episodes over all Bubblevicious, Criss Cross Crisis, Simian Says, Ploys R us, the one where the townspeople have to save themselves, Riddle Him Diddle, Silent Treatment, Nuttin Special, Powerpuff Girls the Movie, Telephonies , Burglar Alarmed, The one where the gang green gang was in the Girls class, knock it off, the one with harold smith, the return of harold smith, jewel of the isle.
ALOT
7:24 the reboot would probably leave that there, no reaction from blossom and bubbles and just move on.
I would like to see a ranking of every episode
I would like to see a Top Ten Classic PPG episodes list, if this sort of video is something you'd like to keep doing.
Already loving this ranking series. And I definitely agree with your rankings of these seasons.
5-6 has the best art most of my favorates come from 3 and 4.
I really like the episode with robin in it. Also no she isn't bland she was only in one episode they could have added more to her and made her a reoccuring character if they really wanted to.
Hey! I would like to hear your opinion about Substitute Creature. I think that episode stands out in more than one aspects. Too bad I don't really hear people talking about it. They probably find it boring. If I remember correctly, it was also in season 5 but in my opinion, it's one of the best (even if slightly disturbing/confusing) episodes in the show. By the way, I love your PPG content. ☺
It was a simple but sweet plot, kind of like Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever though of course not as classic.
Season 5 and 6 are my favorite, I love the colors!
🤦♂️....
I’m kinda disappointed he didn’t mention the season 4 finale. That was worth at least a mention
owencrean1 are you talking about the power noia episode?
or the christmas episode?
McCrillis Nsiah power noia or the christmas one?
@@jp9480 Christmas one is t'was the fight before Christmas and I think that's s5 or s6 so Powernoia I think
Yeah boy! The og powerpuff girls. Such a great Friday. Also can you do a ranking on best ppg villain?
@ That'll be awesome
come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! Help with what? Pestering him every single video he makes to change his content for YOUR OWN amusement. Look I know he likes making content for us and does what we wanna see but commenting on every single video he makes telling him to change his content when he’s already happy with what he’s doing?? That’s pretty rude.
Something’s a miss was always one of my favourites
Thank you for what you said about Stray Bullet! I always felt bad for not liking that episode while everyone else did. The idea of the girls having a pet is cool, but Bullet really didn't have any strong character to him before being thrown back to the forest. Also, this is a big pet peeve of mine, but I personally never liked cartoon squirrel talk. I just find it more annoying than actually humorous.
P.S. thank you for liking my fanart on Twitter. I'll make sure to make more in the future ♡
1) bullet is a girl 2) its a squrrel what did you expect. Yet again Gary and Pluto have strong personalities, Gary is really smart while Pluto is a clumsy idiot.
And thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! And that fanart was great, I absolutely loved it! :D
You should definitely rank the main villains of the Powerpuff girls! (The Classic)
This is my 3rd favorite cn show after ed, edd n eddy and hi hi puffy amiyumi. Buttercup will always be my fav.
Its been a while since I clicked on something so darn fast. I feel like I just got a Christmas present early.
I had honestly forgotten the show was on as long as it was. I was 11 when season 1 premiered and 17 when the show ended. By probably season 4 I was usually out working so I always missed the new episodes
This is such a good list!! :> Have you ever considered talking about the PPG anime?
I want to in the future! I still need to watch more of it before I do that though.
Shadow Streak Ah that’s cool!! Also thanks for responding Omg Hi your vids are awesome sksks
unpopular opinion: ppg should’ve ended in season 4 with power noia (and the christmas special) as its last episodes. that way we wouldn’t have so much bad episodes. though that way we wouldn’t have others like aspirations and silent treatment
So far the most fav is Season 1
Thought it would be 50 50 about Season 2&3
I only remember one episode from the later series of classic PPG vivid the City of Frownsville with Dexter's depressed uncle Lou Gubrious the incessant crying after five minutes made me change the channel ASAP
The blood dripping off of Bubbles' nose kind of reminds me of what happens when Jane "Eleven" Hopper from "Stranger Things" uses her powers.
She doesn't have a nose. It was her mouth.
The Powerpuff Girls might not be perfect. It's got its flaws, but I'd say at its worse it's still better than the reboot at its best.
Also another thing I've thought of. Considering the 6th season might be a bit better than season 5, maybe if the show had gone on for another season it would have gone back up in quality.
Besides the main series, maybe someday you could discuss the music videos and bumpers related to PPG? It'd be cool to see a video on the marketing side of things, especially with all the creative stuff CN did at the time. You could even discuss the ones where they met up with characters from other shows.
Some examples include the Super Friends crossover, or the City bumper where Prof. Utonium 'locked' his keys in his car and Ed, Numbah 1, and Mandy help him with it.
Bubblevicious, Slave the day, and Equal fights are probably my favorite episodes of the whole show
Bubblevicious was my favorite because it’s HARDCORE.
@@0nly.mally1 exactly it’s my favorite episode of the show
You should make a Top 10 Worst Classic PPG Episodes, unless you've already done so.
It was very nice to hear your opinion about this topic. However, I can't to agree about this top.
Firstly, I've always thought that season 6 has even less funny and entertaining episodes than season 5. But it can be just me, because most of those episodes are mixed in my head and I can't say for sure which one belongs to which season.
Quite frankly, I was really surprised that in your opinion season one is the worst of the best. I really find it best. Sure, it can be a little bit rough, not all the episodes are very fun to watch, but for me it's the truth PPG season. Rough a litte bit, less censored, more violant. It's true classic and it's not a nostalgia what makes me think like that. I watched the Original PPG in summer of 2017 for the first time.
Season 4 is also, in my opinion, locaed a little bit low in this top. I really liked most of 22 minute long. Some of them ofcourse could be shrinked to 11 minute but it was still a great experince. By the way, I thougt that Nuthin' Special was actually part of season 6. I even checked the wiki page and it say season 6.
Now for the third season. I don't have much to say. It was good but nothing special. It has its chunks of great episode but... most of the episodes are not that touching than in other first 4 season.
Last, but not least, season 2. It's my third personal best. dispite the fact that it has one my personal worst episode in these seasons it still has one of the best epidoses: Rainy Day Adventure, Stuck Up, Up, and Away and many others. Some of the episodes in my opinon even has the vibe of the first season. But others... they are still good mostly but... they are still not as great as the episodes from the firtst season.
PS. It is stil a very great and enjoyable video.
Hey you think you can do a review on the IDW CN comic Super Secret Crisis War which is a crossover between The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Ben 10 and Ed, Edd and Eddy.
i've been trying to compile my own top 10 heck 20 favorite original PPG episodes and alot of them are really hard to pick over others since the ones I do like I could place them just about anywhere making it hard to truly place them on a certain spot. Some I would even do a double episode just because of certain villains like Princess. If I had to exclude the Christmas holiday special, I would mention that under Honorable mention solely just for the flying fight segment and of course this version of Santa. Half the time I'd be concern if it's okay for me to like certain episodes that give off a mix message like Equal Fight episode or the Members Only club even thou it's my opinion.
Anywho keep up the good work Shadow Streak.
There's one reason i HATE season 5.
In the the bubble boy episode, my boi boomer gets captured
Dude the mayor got murdered in season 2
Hey cool backgrounds!!! I actually watch the last 2 seasons the most because the first 4 seasons are good but I think they’re “clouded”. That’s the best way I could describe it. If you look at the animation from season 1 compared to season 5 the colors become more vibrant and the voices sound more clear. And yeah there are a lot more bad episodes in the last 2 seasons but they’re not all that bad. 💙💖 also Bubbles in the thumbnail!!!! 💙 also I love Aspirations. Favorite episode!!! 🤩
As for criticism.. I guess the zooming in of the still images at the beginning felt kinda stale?? I don’t know what it is but I’m sure you could find a way to spice up that aspect!!! 💙💖
I would like to see a top 10 and a bottom 10 of villain episodes for each villain. Maybe even a top 10 one off villains?
I liked when stuff glowed.
Like fire in the first few seasons
In what universe are we living in where people liked cover up? Wasn't that the one where the girls just took something buttercup loved without her consent and tried to make it seem like buttercup was wrong? That's stupid if people like it!
Yep, that was the one. And I agree that it was horrendous.
7:06 That was allowed to be aired on Cartoon Network.
Happy Black Friday 😁
Jewel of the Aisle is literally my all time favorite episode. I STILL laugh at it to this day!
1:10 That's the 2019 Advance Auto Parts clash Where Jimmay Wreck the whole field Except for Lagano, Kurt Busch & Ryan Blaney
I love the original series
I love the Superfriends episode it was so good, one of my favorite episodes and I like the Let's Go song also I like Robin she's a good friend of The Powerpuff Girls. Anyway would like to see a tier list for the both Powerpuff girls series and the specials and the movies or talk which Powerpuff girl is more powerful.
YEAH THE BETTER PPG SERIES!!!!!!!!!!
come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! That series sucks
@@HackiePuffs YEAH?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@@HackiePuffs dude compared to the reboot. It's a breath of fresh air! Also it has a high probability of being here it's 1:anime.(wich would lead to an interesting avatar change for shadow) 2:Mlp voices.(wich he said in he's once upon a townsville review to be one of he's favourite show) 3:it's still p.p.g! I'm not saying of course that the show is perfect, but wich one you think is the greater"evil"? It's like return of Slade against the true meaning of Christmas(for the record both of these episodes are Bad, but a different Kind of bad. One is clearly build on the foundation of someone liking the original then proceeds to tease us with something they Know we Like from it, only to prank us with it never being there, then spending the rest of the time saying that when something is for kids you should let them enjoy it and move on. But then there's the"true"meaning of Christmas where our"heroes"commit:trespassing,property damage,animal cruelty,murder,frame for crime,bullying,and forcing their beliefs on someone else and to top it off 🎅:"bad kids should get presents" yeah both of these episodes are bad, but one if offensive to some the second is Bad in Every conceivable level to EVERYONE! Or if you compare ink lemonade with pet sitter pat it's insulting to the fans of Sponge bob but Ink Lemonade it's an insult to original fans, and several weeks of therapy for the casual viewers. Pet sitter pat is just one joke:Patrik is the pet who needs to be taken care of and Gary is the responsible one. Ink lemonade is like a fever dream-from a mentally insane-caveman-from Hell! It has ripped off skin and talking organs,psychological torment,the drinking of someone else's bodily fluids,harvesting someone of bodily fluids,and the ending:someone eat:🍪 wich then turns out is made of Spider Eggs wich Hatch inside he's stomach then SPIDER BABIES CRAW OUT OF HE'S MOUTH!!!! One is insulting to sponge bob fans, But No One is safe from Ink Lemonade! It's fucked up and disgusting in EVERY ASPECT nothing appealing about it! The reboot is ink lemonade and p.p.g z is pet sitter pat.) I'm of course not saying that you have to like one just saying that one has less bad then the other.
am i the only one who likes seasons 5 and 6 :"))
15:20 Okay,, why do people think Cover Up is a good episode by any means? It's an absolutely atrocious episode.
How about Fairly Odd Parents? Honestly though I love these types of videos. Not sure why.
The ONLY thing that improved with Powerpuff and Dexter’s later on was the more mid-century art style change. Everything else was mostly below average. The one where the dad golfs for 3 minutes and the one where the mayor whines about toast the whole episode are almost unwatchable. I’d take both over 2016 Powerpuff any day tho
Down The Drain aired on February 7, 1993.
The Odd Couple aired on December 26, 1993.
Mirrorland aired on September 27, 1992.
Give And Take aired on November 28, 1993.
Farewell My Friend aired on October 31, 1993.
The last 2 seasons were definitely worse, but they still had some great episodes. Like Silent Treatment, Curses, Aspirations, Simon Says, Substitute Creature, Boys are Back in Town, Divide and Conquer, See me Feel me Gnomey, ‘Twas the fight before Christmas, and Powerpuff Girls Rule.
& oops!…i did it again & coupe d’etat
Season 3 would use Chemical X-Traction's Soundtrack, since the game was just releasing at that time, so genius.
Unfortunately the game wasn't good on PS1 & N64
I’ve been meaning to do a DeviantArt piece on Powerpuff Girls episodes I dislike for different reasons:
Because it’s dumb - Nuthin Special
Because it’s disturbing - Sun Scream
Because it’s mean - Town and Out
Because of character derailment - A Very Special Blossom
Because it’s pointless - Custody Battle
Because it’s annoying - Toast of The Town
For personal reasons - Girls Gone Mild
BECAUSE I DON’T - Sweet n Sour
What about Cover Up?
XxSolaris420xX I don’t remember that one
@@adultmoshifan87 It was the episode where Buttercup gets mocked for using her blankie to deal with her insecurities.
XxSolaris420xX If I can find a similar but good episode of any show, I might do a comparison piece between the two. You should see the comparison pieces I’ve done before on DeviantArt. I go by furikatsuma there, but once I have money for core membership, I will change my username to Jibanyachu.
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 What are you talking about? Blossom and Bubbles laugh at Buttercup when they find out that she uses a blanket to fight her insecurities and don't even try to hold back said laughter. They're then quick to take it from her completely the next day, expecting her to just get over it. And it ends off with Buttercup being forced by Blossom and Bubbles to give up her blanket when she eventually gets it back.
6:01 Hey, that beef kinda looks like... You know what, never mind, it’s a dead meme anyway.
1 MINUTE LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!??!?!?!?!?!??
My own ranking:
PPG's first season might be one of the strongest first seasons of a cartoon I've seen. Usually that's the rough and unpolished season where things don't feel as good because they're just setting up their foundation.
With a couple of exceptions, every major villain got a very memorable and impactful introduction (minus the garbage Amoeba Boys and Fuzzy Lumpy's pink candy ass) and even the minor ones were great, the best one-off being the disco-loving Boogie Man.
The second season is _slightly_ less good in my opinion. There were more forgettable episodes like Birthday Bash, You Snooze You Lose, Daylight Savings, and Too Pooped to Puff. It was also a little more mean-spirited with the girls behaving badly. We all remember Blossom stealing expensive golf clubs in A Very Special Blossom, but there's more. In Cover Up, Buttercup is arguably bullied into giving up her comfort object, a green blanket when Bubbles is allowed to keep Octi. Then she is literally thrown out of her house and nearly ran out of town simply for refusing to take a bath in Down 'n Dirty. Billy is beaten to a pulp even after rescuing the girls from an incoming train in Slave the Day. And their behavior in Too Pooped to Puff was inexcusable. Trying to make ordinary people stop a monster attack on their own just because the girls were tired is just too much. What if somebody got hurt?
The third season is an improvement, even though you still got a few _major_ duds like Moral Decay (mean-spirited all around), Equal Fights (far too preachy), and Fallen Arches (seriously Blossom, what the hell? You suck.). The infamous Town 'n Out is also in Season Three. The girls still have their "naughty" episodes, like Candy is Dandy and Ploys 'R Us, but the comedy usually overrided the meanness. Seriously though Professor, making your daughters believe you were gunned down by the police just to teach them a lesson about greed was a bit much. And I felt really bad that Mojo got the worst beating of his life over a jar of candy. There's also more teasing between sisters. Mocking Bubbles over her glasses was a bit much, even though I get she looked funny with big old bug-eyes. Teasing Blossom over her botched hair was even crueler because Bubbles and Buttercup were _responsible_ for that, so they should've felt guilt instead of amusement.
I agree that the fourth season could either have an *absolutely incredible* half-hour (sometimes typically 11-minute) episode, or a pretty meh one that was mostly forgettable. The bangers would Get Back Jojo, Him Diddle Riddle, Superfriends, Stray Bullet, and Knock it Off. The "eh" ones would be All Chalked Up, Flim Flam, Nano of the North, and Not so Awesome Blossom.
The fifth season is where the Powerpuff Girls lost a lot of its... spice, if you can forgive the pun. The plots felt more babyish and cringeworthy. I mean really, a plot about which one of the girls wet the bed? It also relied a lot more heavily on Rowdyruff Boy episodes: *The Boys are Back in Town, Bubble Boy, Boy Toys, and Custody Battle.* And even those were mostly lackluster and relied on a lot of gross humor or outdated male stereotypes ("Go and play with your tea parties, silly _girl."_).
I still find it better than season six because there were more episodes I found entertaining. *Curses* was personally hilarious to me (though objectively Sailor Mouth is higher quality, I'll agree with that.), as well as *Burglar Alarmed*, *Shotgun Wedding*, *Substitute Creature*, *The Boys are Back In Town*, *City of Clipsville* (everyone remembers that teenage clip), *Documentary*, *Bang For Your Buck* (I have a MAJOR soft spot for any episode with The Gang Green Gang), and *Silent Treatment.*
Season Six got as bad as the current reboot. I am not shitting you. When you have episodes that literally revolve around fart jokes (Reeking Havoc) or the painful "taking care of a baby" plot (That's Not My Baby), you've hit rock bottom. Every now and then you had a uniquely creative premise, like Mojo kidnapping the Narrator, or the Professor upgrading to a Hal-like car ("I'm sorry Blossom, I'm afraid I can't do that."), and Aspirations might be the best effort with Sedusa getting her revenge after having her hair cut off using the Gang Green Gang, but boy did this one stink.
The last episode literally ended with a poop joke.
Technically, in Too Pooped To Puff, the reason the Girls left Townsville in the lurch was because they kept on calling them to help out with menial tasks, like opening a jar or fixing a sink.
@@mitchfletcher2386 I *know.* It's like when people call 911 so they can get a refund for their burger. Basically, abusing emergency services. The girls were justified _there_ because those were menial tasks. But they *have* to stop a *monster* from destroying the town because that's beyond any normal forces to handle.
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 "Too Pooped to Puff" was an episode that ended up making everybody look bad. The townies look bad for their overblown stupidity and laziness (though that soggy toast joke was pretty funny), and the girls look bad for willingly lounging about on a cloud and leaving the townies to try to solve a _monster attack_ all on their own, something that, like you said, is total overkill.
@Rokenrol Bro 2019 A smarter way to write the episode would've had the girls trying to encourage the townies to be more self-sufficient in _small_ ways. Ways that would be reasonable to expect for common, everyday citizens. They could encourage the police and the fire department to try to do their jobs more and not just rely on the girls to solve all their problems for them. They could lecture the town on relying on the girls for small favors or simply outright refuse to do the small favors while still sticking to the big tasks, I dunno.
I know you've probably already get this request ALOT. But could you do a PieGuy-esqe Every episode of PPG reviewed or something like that?
Maybe you could do a top 10 best episode list of the later seasons (5 and 6)
you could do top 10 worst/best original ppg episodes
This is great! My favorite episode is make zen to me

It's best to let it be. Craig called it a wrap originally because he felt they could go as far as they could and noticed it was getting stale in the later Seasons.
And what do you know, every reboot/revival/special since then have been nothing but hit or miss affairs at best.
Even his special?

Tbh I’m a fan of all seasons and i don’t mind and I respect your opinion
I loved season 5, some epidodes there were my favourites, but, oh boy, do "Boys Are Back in Town" still give me ptsd....
6:53 That episode is hilarious I don't care what anyone says.
can you rank every episode of season 2? or any of the seasons
I might do the individual episodes season by season at some point.
Shut the Pup up and Sweet and Sour were hilarious.
icecream hero no they were not. but hey it’s your opinion
@@jp9480 I really like the Talking Dog's sarcasm bugging everyone.
13:18 Thankfully, Nuthin Special got delayed to the end of the entire show's run in North America.
Fun fact: I am THE powderpuff fan- I've been a fan since I was 4 and now I'm in highschool and actually I like all the seasons including 5 and 6. Way better than the _New Powerpuff girls of 2016_ *The new one sucks and they got rid of some of the villians*
I love this show the classic version
I don't recall if you mentioned it or not, but do you plan to do episode reviews of the OG show? I'd love to watch them if so.
my brother & i r twins & i got the whole series box set when we turned 27 last year! i shouldve bought it when it came out back in 2009
