 How are they going to pull this package off? December 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let me say, I've got this on pre order and am eagerly anticipating it. To finally have all the PPG episodes fully and properly compiled will be a Godsend. But I wonder, how's the image quality going to be? There are 78 episodes, but they are claiming all of those are squeezed onto just 6 discs. I worked it out, that's 13 episodes a disc, (or, each season is fitting onto one disc) keep in mind that the standard compression usually puts 8 half hours on a dual layered DVD at most. Which makes me think that either 1) the discs are all flippers, which I could live with but it won't be ideal, or 2) the episodes are highly compressed, which means picture/sound quality could suffer.
Also, there's the issue of special features. Will it have any? I don't see where there's room. And that would be a shame. The first season set actually had a nice assortment of supplements, including the pre-series pilots. will they make it to the "complete" collection? (That does almost make me sorry that future season sets were aborted in favor of the series set)
But, even with these issues, I'm still looking forward to having the episodes themselves. But it does seem Time Warner has come not to honor Powerpuff Girls, but to bury it.
Finally!!! December 3, 2008

I have to agree with the previous reviewers. There hasn't been a comprehensive release of "The Powerpuff Girls" and that is now being remedied by this release. As a 37 year old cartoon fan, The PPG was always very reminiscent of the cartoons that I grew up with. I can't wait for this set to be released.
 Finally, a proper send-off for the 'puffs November 21, 2008

Here it is in all its glory! Despite the random, haphazard packaging of episodes on older DVD releases with even menu options that were inconsistent, the Powerpuff Girls finally get the royal send-off in ONE PACKAGE.
So who are the Powerpuff Girls? They are the by-product of Professor Utonium's desire to create girls using sugar, spice and everything nice except things go awry when he accidentally spills "Chemical X" into the concotion. The result: 3 little girls with super-powers. Blossom is their leader who is level-headed in most situations. Buttercup is the Powerpuff who will most likely charge into a fight without regard to consequences. Bubbles, despite her superpowers, is most easily scared and is the most sensitive 'puff of the bunch.
The double-meanings and creativity of the episodes were a delight and it was something that I used to watch guiltily as a 20-something man. They were downright hilarious, though, so it was hard not to watch. The violence might be a little too much for some parents, but my 5-year old daughter knows that it's fake and plays it up for the humor that it is. She hasn't gone around the house bashing things up nor has she exhibited any violent tendencies. Still, parents be warned and decide based on your own lifestyle and viewing choices.
The only minor complaint that I have is that it doesn't include the theatrical movie, but I'm sure that the lawyers can be well-paid and thanked for that licensing issue. Still, the movie is available for purchase separately, so no harm done.
The other minor complaint is the use of double-sided DVDs which naturally brings the price down, but makes the average parent a nervous wreck in terms of keeping the DVD surface clear of scratches.
Still, it's nice to finally have the entire TV series out, including the 78th episode never aired in the States. My daughter and I are ready to adventure the complete 'puffs!
At last! October 11, 2008

Speaking as a 16 year old Canadian male, I can safely say that The Powerpuff Girls was awesome. With its unique animation style, immensely likeable characters, deliciously over the top cartoon violence and razor-sharp sense of wit, this show served as a reminder that Cartoon Network was once great. But unfortunately, to say the series has barely received any worthy home video releases is an understatement.
Until now, that is.
After a few scattered, kid-friendly compilations and a lacklustre first season set, the complete run of the show is at last making it to DVD. Considering that the past home video releases have completely neglected the last three seasons of the show, and that a fair amount of notable episodes from the other three seasons have also been neglected, it's great to see Warner Bros. is finally giving all of it to us in one handy package.
According to TVShowsonDVD.com, this set will be comprised of 6 double-sided discs containing all 78 episodes of the show and the previously released Christmas special, "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas". It's worth noting that the final episode, "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" (notable for being an all-singing episode), has never been broadcast in the States (although it has been broadcast in Canada and the UK), so it will be interesting to have.
If you're a fan like me, this set is an obvious must-buy. As for those who have never seen the show, it's easy to get into: just look past the sugary-sweet femininity and you'll find an incredibly sharp sense of humour.
