I didn't expect too many people to get into Dave the Barberian as it isn't the typical Disney fare, but I was really surprised by the number of people that can't stand Kim Possible!
I think Dave is a riot, and the stylized animation suits the feeling of the show. It's kind of in the tradition of Rocky and Bullwinkle, don't you think?
As for Kim Possible, I think it's the best TV cartoon I've seen in years, period. And it took me a whole year to even give it a chance, since I was so convinced that I would hate it!
See, I watched the very first episode and decided right then and there that it was totally contrived. The designs were too flat and the main character was too annoying. And worst of all were the name puns they kept using over and over in the promos, I was ready to gag! Anyway, I knew from the start that she and Ron were meant to be together, but they had her all nervous about asking another character out on a date? Grr. Of course, it's only fair to mention I was in my Daria mode back then, and I didn't like the ending at all. I didn't think she deserved that date with Josh, even if Bonnie deserved it less.
Anyway, I eventually started watching it again (ironically, this was after I no longer had Disney Channel, LOL!) and it started to warm up to me a little. Hmm. There were some great lines there. I found that the stories and situations were clever and well written, not to mention funny. And I got to know the characters. I don't find Kim annoying anymore. Well, ok, maybe a little, but it's all good.

That's part of what I find appealing about the show now. And I simply love Ron. I never knew I could love a dorky male character so much! I delight in the "evil-ness" of Bonnie. I love Dr. Drakken and Shego and their crazy relationship. I also find Kim's dad quite hilarious!
One of the best parts about the show is the BGM. I've never heard anything like it in a TV toon. And I love how the show never takes itself too seriously. In many ways it spoofs the happy, campy quality of family shows like Brady Bunch (compare the dads for example) and the old live-action Batman series (the episode with Adam West guest starring is hilarious)! And something you don't see very often in an animated series is character development, and this show actually has some.
So how many of you haters have actually watched more than one episode? If you haven't, give it a chance. You just might be pleasantly surprised.
But to each his own, right?
I've been praying for box sets of this show; why hasn't it happened yet? They have 'em for Lizzie, why not Kim? Sigh.
Oh, and as for the other shows mentioned, well, let's just say that I wouldn't be rushing out for a DVD release.
