Now it’s time for a bit of nostalgia – Kim Possible was not only one of my favourite cartoons when I was in my early teens but I’m also pretty sure for a while I wanted to be just like Kim herself.
Kim Possible is a really fun show, I loved the humour and all the characters – I especially liked Shego and the kind of mutual respect she and Kim had for each other. Oh, and the puns! Love a good pun so Kim Possible being a pun of the word “impossible” and Ron Stoppable being a pun on “unstoppable” were right up my street.
Kim was just so cool. She was a spy, she had cool gadgets, she was funny and popular but never mean about it – she was definitely the sort of character I aspired to be like when I was a teenager. I also really wanted Kim and Ron to get together! They were probably one of my first ship’s and I loved them as both best friends and when they finally ended up as a couple.
I feel like Kim Possible, along with Totally Spies, is what started my love of spies and superheroes, because Kim was kind of a superhero. She had a secret double life, tech support in the form of Wade, and a sidekick in Ron. Kim Possible was one of those shows I’d watch when I was channel hopping, even when I’d “grown out of it” because that’s the thing, the quick dialogue and humour was something that could appeal to all ages.
Who can forget the theme song?! I always used to sing along and I wanted my own phone to make that beeping noise when I got a text – I’m sure you can download it from somewhere but I’ve never got around to it.
I do not remember this cartoon but I do recall my daughters loving the Power Rangers and they wanted to be superheroes, too. I think all kids go through that phase. The theme mewsic for Kim Possible is very catchy and made me do a little chair boogie while listening to it. Thanks for sharing a piece from your childhood. 🙂

I was never a huge fan of the Power Rangers (I always thought it looked silly) but I think you’re right and all kids want to be superheroes at some point.
No problem and thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
I’m not familiar with this show, but it’s nice to remember childhood pleasures. Have you watched it again since then?
Yeah I’ve seen a couple of episodes on YouTube over the past few years and it was nice to see they still held up to what I remembered 🙂
The Disney was so good back when this was on. Recess was the best.
I loved Recess! I think I wanted to be like Spinelli 😄
Spinelli was a fun character.
I didn’t know about Kim Possible. Thanks to introduce this character to me!

No problemo 🙂
I had forgotten all about Kim Possible. I don’t think my kids watched it (my youngest was in her late teens when it came out) but I recall seeing it now and then… maybe while channel surfing.

It’s fun to hear about long forgotten TV shows.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
I don’t know this cartoon, but I remember Inspector Gadget and his theme song.
K is for Kevlar—Gift From Aliens?
I remember Inspector Gadget! Though I don’t think I really watched it that often I remember the theme song being really catchy
Love Kim Possible!! She was for sure one of my fav superheros, and Shego was one of the best villains in my opinion.
Yay! Shego was such a competent villain, if she’d been in charge of the evil plans they’d have taken over the world a long time ago 😛
Kim Possible’s awesome – talk about a trip down memory lane 🙂 Happy A-to-Z-ing.
I definitely had a fair bit of nostalgia writing this post 🙂 Thanks!
This was one of our all time favorites when my girls were younger. We watched it together as a family all the time. It was so funny. WeekendsInMaine
I love those shows or films that you can watch with the whole family and everyone at any age can get something from it 🙂
I love Kim. I have a Kim figure perched on my monitor at work, one eyebrow raised, making sure I stay on task. Love this tribute!

Thanks! I love to hear about what sort of things people have on their desk. When I was at uni I had a Captain America figure by my laptop, silently judging me if I started to surf the internet instead of writing an essay 😛
Yes, this was so fun! I kind of want to rewatch some of it now. 🙂
When I was searching for the theme song I found some of the episodes on YouTube – I had to restrain myself from starting to watch them 😛
This is so much fun, I need to find this cartoon and watch it again; my kids would love it 😀
