Kim Possible

About the show

Kim often finds herself criss-crossing the globe in an attempt to rescue people, stop crimes, and battle supervillains... all the while being expected to come home and complete her homework in time. Kim Possible attends Middleton High School, and is captain of the school's cheerleading squad. However, the red-haired, tummy-baring crime fighter can not save the world alone. Alongside her is Ron Stoppable, her goofy, wisecracking sidekick, and his scene-stealing pet naked mole rat, Rufus.

The series premiered in June 2002, and the first episode to air, Crush, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award the following year. With the premiere of this episode, Kim Possible has since been regarded as the most watched and highest rated television show on the Disney Channel in many years. The series as a whole was nominated for the Daytime equivalent in 2004, and again in 2005 (that year saw it receive 5 nominations). The show has widely been praised for its smart dialogue, fluid animation, and engaging, well-written characters (both heroic and villainous).

Kim's dialogue tends to be peppered with not-so-typical teen slang; for example, "So not the drama" and "No big", as well as the series' catchphrase, "What's the sitch?" (situation). The show's title music, Call Me, Beep Me, is sung by Christina Milian. Much of its artistic style is due to character development by artist Stephen Silver.

Despite the show's popularity, production on the show ceased in February 2005, after 3 seasons and 65 episodes. This is (according to the show's fans) due to a Disney policy that ceases production on shows that have run that long, regardless of popularity (a few shows produced for the Disney Afternoon ran longer than that, however).
