Double length? All season long?

8.0

By Canogaparkcindy, Aug 10, 2010

Well what surprised me the most of seeing the season four episode list was, the double length episodes all season, and only eleven episodes. Come on! Anyways I sort of liked the episode I guess, The Power Puff Girls look like thy totally changed their style which is what I didn't like. Which is why the rating of the epsiode went down. The idea overall, was great though, having a movie? I like the "breaking the fourth wall" at the end. "Who would want a PPG movie!?" And they already had one in real life. Predictable ending, like how the Professor saves the day though.moreless

  While in drag, Professor Utonium wears a wig and glasses just like those of Tootsie as played by Dustin Hoffman in the 1982 movie.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bubbles: And the premiere. Oh... maybe I'll get a chance to meet Leo!
  When Bubbles says this line, she's possibly referring to Leonardo DiCaprio.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mr. Bernstein: Character
  Bernstein sounds a lot like Phil Silvers, who did in fact play a washed-up, sleazy movie director in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mr. Bernstein: When Mr. S came to me with that big war picture and nobody would touch it, I had fears. I had doubts. But did I let that stop me from doing what I believed? HECK, NO! And we knocked the pants off 'em with that one!
  Bernie is talking about Steven Speilburg's Saving Private Ryan.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bubbles: Well, I don't have any lines -- and I'm the cutest and the favorite!
  This line may have been determined by the now-infamous Powerpuff Popularity Contest held by Cartoon Network in the spring of 2001. Viewers were invited to submit votes for their favorite of the three girls. Bubbles came in first, Buttercup second, and Blossom third.
