PowerPuff Girls Return To TV With 40 New Episodes
Cartoon Network commission a hefty dose of sugar, spice, and everything nice.
After what has felt like an eternity, the PowerPuff Girls are finally getting a revival. The hit Cartoon Network show first graced our television screens back in 1998, where it would run for a glorious 7 years before being canceled back in 2005. Since then, the show's old episodes were prominently featured on Boomerang; which happens to be the home to other much loved cartoons such as Johnny Bravo, Top Cat, Cow and Chicken and Tom and Jerry. Now, after 11 years and virtually every other superhero getting a reboot, we're finally going to be getting something new from Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. Cartoon Network has ordered 40 new episodes of the re-booted series, with hopes that it will get the same reception from a new generation. Executive producers Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle told Turner in a recent Q&A just what possessed them to bring the show back. The Powerpuff Girls has comedy and action, its cute and dramatic. A whole world of contrast thats made some really great stories. Its just super adorable, which I love. Put all those things togethermy respect for the show, the original and the potential to move forwardall drew me to the project. Hopefully this is the beginning of some sort of cartoon renaissance. After all, who wouldn't want an Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy revival. The new series of the PowerPuff girls returns April 4th at 6pm on Cartoon Network. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia85JrFaluQ
