Trivia
Cartoon Network asked for a seventh season of the series. Creators and producers Craig McCracken and Chris Savino felt that six was enough.

Quotes
Narrator: Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction... Chemical X. Thus the Powerpuff Girls were born. Using their ultra-superpowers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil.

Crazy credits
On the first 4 seasons of the show (1998-2002), the closing logo used at the end isn't Cartoon Network's logo (as seen on Dexter's Laboratory (1996) and many others); instead, the 1980s "swirling star" logo (as featured on Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the time, except for an updated byline mentioning Time Warner) appears.

Alternate versions
Two scenes in the episode The Bare Facts' segment Bubblevicious/The Bare Facts (1999) of were edited in the UK: when the flashback story of Mojo Jojo's fight with the girls plays, Mojo Jojo uses nunchucks as a weapon. Also, the finale with the naked Mayor (only showing his rear) at the end was edited.

So, it's time to review The Powerpuff Girls...

This show is one of the reason why I would usually choose Cartoon Network over Nickelodeon has a kid. Sure, Nickelodeon had Jimmy Neutron, Spongebob Squarepants, the Fairly OddParents, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Chalk Zone, Oh Yeah Cartoons, and Ren and Stempy; however, Cartoon Network had some of my favorite all time shows like Ed Edd 'n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Megas XLR, Teen Titans, Hanna Barbera classics like the Jetsons; the Flintstones; Wacky Races; Josie and the Pussycats; Scooby Doo; etc. , the Looney Tunes, and programming blocks like Toonami; Cartoon Cartoons; Carton Cartoons Fridays; etc. Speaking of those programming blocks, I also preferred the bumpers Cartoon Network would use with them; for example, Toonami had Tom (who was the successor to Moltar).

But, on to the point, the Powerpuff Girls was a big part of my childhood. I admit I was embarrassed to watch or speak of the show in public, but I grew past that. So yeah, if you haven't seen the original Powerpuff girls, you should check them out.

P.S. Mojo Jojo is the best villain in the show. He's right next to Princess Morbucks, the Rowdyruff Boys, and that Powerpuff Girls collector (you know the one in that single episode).
