    Ron gets a new haircut. This new haircut completely changes his personality and he becomes a popular, annoying, arrogant boy. Everyone at school starts to like him and talk to him and he starts to ignore Kim. Meanwhile, the bad guys are up to the same old stuff and Kim and Ron have to stop him. In the end, Ron gets his old haircut back and returns to normal. I liked the story in this episode. It was interesting to see Ron in a different personality. Overall , ok episode with a lot of good funny moments and good character development.moreless

    well, this episode had me going. I was all like, what's up wit Ron? Well, now it's not old news. Firstly, he has changed his personality because of new looks etc. many times, the most notable being in Ron Millionaire, Ron the Man and All the news. And why did he do it? BEcause of the popularity. He likes the popularity. And this episode is no exception.
    Well, his new haircut was kinda annoying me. I think it looked like it was all soaked and just hanging down. ANd hsi new clothes? Terrible. Then why the good score?
    The villains. I like the Seniors, as they are called. And how they got evil is just as good; it was Ron's fault, suggesting that he could get a pirahna lagoon, missiles, self-activating lasers and more. Soo Ron-like. And they followed his ideas. So, now we have two new villains
    Of course, they are comical. Every Kim Possible villain is comical. But the Seniors? Well, they rule! You see, the senior member, Seor Senior Senior, is an old man, who is obsessed with the code of villany, which is what leads to his downfall. The junior member, Seor Senior Junior, are the spoiled man-child that cannot do a thing for himself. And they have serious internal family struggles. It makes then soo funny.
     So, all in all, this episode was kinda great, but still had it's downfalls. Thumb upmoreless

    By Ron getting a new hair cut he has changed his personality too, he soon discovers that his new look makes him more popular. When Kim takes Ron to Paris so he can get some more hair gel, all of Europe's power suddenly goes out. Kim and Ron look into the issue but Ron's carelessness eventually causes even more problems for Kim. It's up to Kim to once again save the day, all the while dealing with the new Ron, which may make the mission harder than usual. My favorite part of this episode is when well actually the whole thing actually. The carelessness really made everything much more funny I think.moreless

  • So...what was wrong with the old Ron?

    "Mediocre"
    By Lonestarr357, Jun 26, 2005 Report Abuse
    Concluding that she knows what's best for Ron, "even if he doesn't", Kim arranges for him to receive a haircut from renowned French hairstylist Francois. The new 'do earns Ron instant popularity and an inflated ego, while Dr. Frankenkim laments about what's become of her best friend (or, more correctly, what she was a willing accessory to).

    Meanwhile, the electricity in Europe is being sapped away in great quantities. The answer lies on a private island occupied by bored multi-billionaire Senor Senior Senior and his son, Senor Senior Junior. Kim asks the old man to cut the power. He obliges, but not before Ron makes a number of bone-headed comments about how the Senior home would make an awesome villain's lair.

    It's not before long that the blackouts resume in Europe. It's the same situation as before, but wait - Senor Senior Senior is taking the power intentionally. He took Ron's suggestions to heart and (having nothing better to do) decides to become a villain. (Don't you just hate when that happens?)

    As you can probably imagine, Kim and Ron aren't exactly at their best, here. However, the climactic fight between Ron and Junior was funny, and the casting of Senior should be a treat for fans of "Wrath of Khan" or "Freakazoid!"

    This episode proves that change isn't always for the best.

    • When we saw Kim's locker after she told Rufus that he could live in her locker, there was a picture of Ron hanging between the pictures of Shego and Drakken. When Kim opened the locker at the end of the episode, and Rufus jumps out of Kim's locker, his picture is gone. Edit
    • When Kim is getting thanked by the female pilot for helping them earlier, the male pilot's eyes are blue, with no pupils. When he says his line after that, he has only the pupils in his eyes with no color. When Ron comes in, his eyes are suddenly blue, with the pupils as well. Edit
    • This is one of four episodes where Ron changes his image to get more popular, with the other three being All The News, Ron the Man, and Ron Millionaire. Edit

    • Julio and Enrique Iglesias: Señor Senior, Sr. is a parody to Julio Iglesias, while his son, Señor Senior, Jr., is a parody to Enrique Iglesias. Edit
    • Fantasy Island:

      The private island locale is a nod to Ricardo Montalban's (voice of Señor Senior Sr.) previous role on the show Fantasy Island. Edit
    • James Bond:

      There are several noticeable references to James Bond:

      1. The private island is a dig at the preferred hideout of most Bond villains, especially Francis Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. The giant sunlamp is also a reference to that movie. Scaramanga's scheme involved solar power.

      2. The design theme of the interior of the Seniors' home reflects that of Dr. No. Edit
