So, Kim Possible is supposed to be a show about a super cool teenaged female spy with superpowers or somesuch, right?

Well, this seems pretty true in the bits I've watched, but why is it that every time I watch, the episode seems to be about Kim learning to appreciate her brothers or dorky (male) partner, or about letting them shine, instead of about Kim being cool?

If it were called "Ron Stoppable," I'd be perfectly fine with the super cool girl spy being secondary, but the title is "Kim Possible," so I expect the focus to be on her, not her learning to better appreciate boys.

It's fun, but have I just caught the wrong episodes?

At least I don't have to worry about that with Malina and London.

ETA:  Fixed his name.  Now that I know it.

Totally caught the wrong episodes. I think I know which ones you're referring to, too. (Is at least one of those is the one where her annoying brothers are sent to the same school, in the same grade as she is?)

I haven't seen that one with the brothers. The one I was thinking of, she had to take them with her on a mission because she was babysitting, and they saved the day. It was my first ep. The last 2 eps I saw were Ron Stoppable Needs Love Too episodes.

Ack! Go watch the one where she learns to appreciate her super awesome Grandma. "Golden Years." Or the Team Go ones, where we learn of Shego's past. Or the one where Ron is detained and Kim teams up with her mom! "Mother's Day". Or, heck, the first one where she's trying to work up the nerve to ask out her crush. "Crush".

My friend's first viewing of Avatar was The Swamp, and she came away with the idea that the series was a preachy, pro-environmental cartoon.

I didn't hear about Avatar until the fandom got wanky. It took a bit to get me into. I'm mostly just watching Kim Possible in the late night airings. (Though if it and Emperor's New School are on DVD, I'll probably netflix them.)

BTW, I see you at redbrunja's LJ a lot, right?

I watched a lot of KP on youtube. Didn't know about the late night showings. They might not have been doing that at the time I got into KP.

And yup, probably!

I've become addicted to Disney Channel the last few weeks due to the lack of DVD player. 9I can still watch things on the laptop, but...)

Oh, so it's on youtube? Cool.

You can also get some of it at Netflix, it seems. (But not the first 2 seasons...)
