This show was my biggest favorite when I was 7. There’s a
reboot now, but I like the old series better.
I have not seen much of the series in years, except for the
Christmas special. But that’s another post, plus it’s off-season.
Anyway, these are the top 3 memorable episodes of “The PowerPuff
Girls”. This does not include the reboot. I have not watched that, nor do I
want to.
Note, these are not necessarily my favorite episodes—just
ones that stand out to me.
3: The episode where Blossom has ice powers
Poor Blossom gets scolded for her ice breath, despite the
boiling sun. Bubbles and Buttercup dislike her ice powers. Blossom has to
promise not to use it, except when necessary. Even at school, when Ms. Keane
demands everybody goes outside, Blossom has to resist the urge to use her ice
breath.
Although Blossom is very bright, I felt sorry for her when
her sisters put her down for her ice powers (I believe Buttercup called Blossom
“Ice Princess” as an insult). This is, I think, the only episode where Blossom
has ice breath.
2: The episode with Cooties
A girl in the PPG’s class panics when a boy has saliva all
over his mouth and tries to kiss her. Even the PowerPuff Girls have nightmares
about that kid giving them cooties. In the dream, several little clones of that
child pop out of their skin.
As a little kid, it meant nothing to me. But now, as an adult,
I find this offensive. I don’t think I’d voluntarily watch that episode now.
1: The episode where Bubbles keeps animals in the house
This I remember better than the others I listed. Bubbles has
animals inside the house. The professor states that the animals need to be free
and not locked up inside a closet. Later Bubbles has a whale because it won’t
fit in a closet. But the whale gets dried up and even makes a noise. Bubbles,
as her not-very-wise self, just gives it a glass of water. Of course, that’s
not enough. At some point, Bubbles learns the lesson and frees the animals from
the Townsville Zoo (and doesn’t get arrested).
I adored Bubbles’ little rhyme, “They’re Mr. and Mrs.
Squeakers, inside your sneakers” to the professor. I think I’d like this
episode now.
While I said these are the top 3 memorable episodes, I do
have a bonus.
Drumroll…
Bonus: The birthday party episode
It’s the PPG’s birthday and many Townsville residents are
invited. The girls are desperate to open their presents. They even use X-ray
vision to see inside their gifts. However, the professor stops them and says
that they can open their presents after cake.
The PowerPuff Girls are so rushed that Bubbles won’t let the
guests sing “Happy Birthday”. The professor gives them the cake, which they
blow away. Regardless of his request to eat the cake before they can open their
presents, the professor seems to give his daughters a free pass to open their
gifts. However, a few presents come from the villains and endanger the girls. I
do admire the dolls that resembled the girls, though, and Princess Morbucks
telling one of the other bad guys, “You gave them dolls?”
Well, that’s it. Do you have any memorable moments of “The
PowerPuff Girls” you want to share?
