Kim Possible: Disney's best Cartoon.

Image result for kim possible episodes  Disney Channel is not great when it comes to it's cartoons (except for maybe Phineas and Ferb) But when I was in my teens, I remember this one cartoon about a teenager who would be a superhero as well, with an amazing sidekick who would later become her boyfriend.

   This show was KIM POSSIBLE!!!

It's in a fictional town of Middleton (like a fictional as Derry, Maine) It started when Kimmy had a crush on a boy named Josh, but it really starts when somebody called her for her help when she was a young tween wanting to fit in and well... that's how she became a super hero.

Her sidekick friend, turned boyfriend was Ron Stoppable

Monkey fist..Image result for monkey fist kim possible was a world famous explorer and wanted to become the monkey king but he would always have a quarrel but not with Kim but her sidekick Ron Stoppable. It seemed by the end, Ron would inherit the Monkey King power to save the world (I'll get to that later)

Senior Sr. and Senior Jr....Image result for senior sr and senior jr kim possible    Father and son villain team but I feel that the son wanted to be a goof off and the father wanted wealth. Sometimes the father couldn't even get along and needed to tutor his son with Shego's help. With Spiritual animals Jr and Kim were a match. BTW: Senior Sr. was once voiced by the late Ricardo Montiban until his dean and was later replaced with Earl Boen.


Duff Killigan...Image result for Duff Killigan kim possible Scottish, of course and would talk about golf, and had to say "World's deadliest Golfer" (Ironically voiced by an actor from Israel) He seemed to have exploding golf balls where ever he went.


There's something I want to add. They had two movies before the finale. One I liked and One I didn't care for.


   The one I didn't care for was about Kim having a boyfriend (this was long before Kim and Ron hooked up.)

  Junior Prom, a new boyfriend. Let's say, blame Drakken. Her boyfriend was a robot the whole time and that's when Ron confesses his love

In a 'Stitch in time', the one I like, something goes wrong. Ron almost leaves Middleton. So, they go back in time when they were little kids and try to find out what the future will be like.

They're in the past, present and when they get in the future, they find out more then they bargained for.
Image result for a sitch in time kim possibleIt isn't Drakken, but Shego that has taken over Middleton. Ron freaks out for her splitting them apart and goes BS crazy. Eventually he saves them all (there's a monkey statue involved) and they're back to normal.


I want to talk about one last thing, the finale. Kim and Drakken are kidnapped by aliens and it seems it is right around the time of Kim and Ron's graduation. Drakken helped out an alien before, faking himself  calling himself the 'big blue' (long story) The aliens come back and plan to destroy earth. Shego along with Ron and a few other people decide to help get Kim (and I guess Drakken) back.

Soon Ron summons all the power of the Monkey King and destroys both aliens saving his girlfriend and enemy and even planet earth. Shego is astounded like the viewers, but if you watch past episodes you would find out how he harnesses the monkey powers and why Monkey Fist hates him for it.

     It ends with Drakken be more of a hero than a villain and even some villains cheering. Shego falling in love with him (I'm not going there) and even Ron and Kim graduating. That's how it ends.

    Why do I think this one of the best cartoons Disney had to offer? Why do I think Lizzy McGuire was a great Disney show? I don't know there's no answer I just think it was. I've always loved it. They don't need to reboot it, they don't need to add anything special. Four seasons was fine with me. Great voice actors (like John DiMaggio as Drakken, Nancy Cartwright as Rufus, Nicole Sullivan as Shego) the list goes on. There's nothing that needs to be changed. Thank You Disney. You were one of the greats. We miss you for that. RIP Kim Possible Cartoon. Ciao Bloggers.

Is it time to end family guy?

Image result for Family Guy 1999Back when it started, in Super bowl 1999, it seemed like a little innocent cartoon of a family from Rhode Island.
   Nothing to worry about, just a simple, good wholesome funny show that started off...
SOMETHING ROTTEN!!!

First off, it was ok. Funny jokes here and there, they would have a cut away to explain the situation.
   Some were funny, some were, egh..
Image result for Family Guy 1999 Peter Griffin was considered the heartwarming funny father back then, Brian was the dog who spoke his mind, Stewie was the baby who tried to kill the mother, Lois, whenever he had the chance, and then there's Meg who was voiced by three people.
              In the first piolet episode, the creator's sister, Rachel MacFarlane, took over, then she was replaced with another talented actress, but then Mila Kunis (From that 70's show) took over permanently.

  By the end over season three the show was canceled by Fox. We were sad, yes but I wasn't surprised. Then it came back and it didn't do as great when it went into season four.

It could show that it could get away with anything. Blowing up houses, 9/11 jokes (since Seth survived 9/11. I still don't find them funny at all), abusing Meg, Making Brian act like an asshole.

And when it get into the fifth season, it was cancelled again but only for two months!

It came back and it got worse. Cleveland, one of the neighbors, left for his own sitcom (which didn't work and got cancelled)
Image result for the cleveland show It seemed they made more sick jokes, characters and even having one episode be banned because it had to do with abortion.
Another one was about Peter and his boss (who was voiced by the late Carrie Fisher) have an affair and if she didn't she would end up killing herself. And it also feels as if Meg was thinking suicidal thoughts.
WHAT IS WITH THESE WRITERS???? Are they that gross or harsh on themselves that they decide to take it out one of the main characters. How does Mila Kunis feel everyday reading a line like that?

I love Mila and all but, this doesn't seem like the Family Guy I knew and love. I don't even watch the new episodes much anymore. Some, rarely, but only if they're a guest voice actor like Robert Downey Jr. being Lois's estranged brother.

 Image result for robert downey jr family guy I'm not going to nitpick anymore. Even Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the show even knows the show isn't as great as it used to be. He tries his best everyday. I'm not a huge fan of him. His new show (which is going to fail) is not even a cartoon, but a Star Trek wannabe show.

Seth is and still will be funny, at times, but this show is no longer funny. I find it cruel, horrid and has tasteless jokes, They poke fun at the mentally ill, crippled people and people of  9/11. The writers can, sometimes have a funny joke in here or there, but (Like the Simpsons) they have been on very long and they also did a cross-over with the Simpsons that WASN'T FUNNY!!! If it was me, I'd end it.
But there are people that still like the show, and I admit I still like the Simpsons from time to time, but I'm going to treasure the original three seasons (maybe four) of Family guy.
They will always brought me to what made this Rhode Island family to what it used to be than what it is today.

RIP to classic Family Guy and even classic Simpsons. Ciao Bloggers.
