"Great"

By kitty_girl_123, Feb 21, 2007

It all starts out when an earth quake hunts the city, and Kim is right on it! Ron tries to help out, but falls in the hole. When Wade finds out who was behind it all, and they find out that it was someone named Chester Yapsby. He stole some kind of devise that turns cockroaches into gaint monsters. Ron starts to freak out, but Kim tells him that its no big deal. When Kim tries to get to the case, but ends up in fear when she sees the size of the cockroaches. Ron however, ends up bonding with on of them, he calls him Roachie. Later on, Kim finds out that Ron's relationship to Roachie might save the day, but it ends up with ROn almost getting killed. So Roachie
helps Ron out with the other cockroaches, and helps them save the day. Kim shuts off the devise, and Roachies sends the roaches to get Chester back. Ron tells Roachie and his roach friends to the land fill. Just when ROn thinks his bug fears are over, he freaks out when he sees a spider.moreless

"Perfect"

By xtears, Feb 17, 2007

I actually really enjoyed watching this episode. It was nerve-racking as well as well written. I dont believe that the Ron was out of character, Ron is just his goofy self, and that's all he ever tries to be.. sometimes.. Well anyway, the best quote "naw man, thats just wrong, thats just wrong" ahhahaha, the way Ron said that, you all know that was just plain hilariouss!!
Overall rating is a definate 10/10 for the funny jokes and laughter, as well as the excellent script and storyline ! This has to be my favourite episode of Kim Possible ! !moreless

"Good"

By glostlover, Feb 14, 2007

Chester Yapsby has stolen a top-secret project that is capable of making insects grow to incredible heights which if you ask me is totally wrong. Kim is contacted for the assignment because she never fails to get a job done, though when it turns out that the giant cockroaches bother Kim as she has a personal fear of insects and that is sort of weird because her website sais that she can do anything. Ron must help her overcome her fear in order to save the day which is also weird because he is usually the scared one of the team. Meanwhile, Ron names one of the cockroaches Roachie and decides to keep it as a pet and at the end he leaves him which was a smart room because having a cockroach as a pet is sick and wrong ok that is all I'm saying.moreless

Good, but not good enough.

"Great"

By uberito, Jul 05, 2006

A good episode, but I think it's out of character. It's just too far fetched and too unrealistic, even though I know the series is not meant to be realistic. This episode just goes too far with gaint roaches running around. It's a good episode with good animation and voices, but you'll kind of wish it has more. You might enjoy the fact that Kim is absolutely afraid of these big bugs and get some laughs from her expression. Personally, I like the expressions more the the episode, and if you like freaked out characters running for their lives and hiding behind people, this is it. :) It's good for a laugh and you might enjoy it.moreless

"Poor"

By blackrytonite, Mar 21, 2006

OK, first let me say that I have seen all of the Kim Possible episodes, and I really like this show, but this episode was awful. I mean, even animated cockroaches really make me lose my appetite.....it was rather hard to watch and then eat something afterwards, but I kept watching it because I wanted to see if it turned out good. It didn't. It's just about big mutated cockroaches that make me feel awful just thinking about it. Anyway, the roaches are under the control of some idiot who is wreaking havoc with them, and, well.....I advise you to not watch this if you get sick easily. O_Omoreless

- Super Mario Bros.: The video game Ron and Roachie played had sounds from the classic Super Mario Bros. games.
  EDIT SHARE
- I, Robot: The end of the episode, with Ron and Kim leading the giant roaches to a new home in the Middleton Landfill is reminiscent of the end of I, Robot, where Detective Spooner relocates all of the robots to a new home in a landfill outisde of the city.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kim: Don't tell me you're the Roach Whisperer now. Reference to the movie The Horse Whisperer

- B Movies: The giant cockroaches a classic parody/homage to the giant-bugs-created-by-radiation B-movies of the fifties.
  EDIT SHARE
- Ron: Ron's departing monologue to Roachie: Ron's monologue saying goodbye to Roachie is pretty much comprised of lines from every single "goodbye" speech made by the child in any given boy-and-his-animal-friend movie, where the boy has to leave his animal friend behind or let them go.
