a lot of tv shows at the time such as Simpsons, South Park, Married With Children, Seinfeld, and even Friends made fun of things that are considered sacred cows today by the left, and the writers/creators of these shows were leftists.
The Episode where Mojo Jojo tries to make himself breakfast really sticks with me. I think about it some mornings when everything is just harder than it should be.
The good moments are great, but there is plenty meh in between. Nothing horrible by any stretch, but you aren't going to be engaged the entire way through.
I had to look her up, I didnt know she was also involved in The Maxx. That is hands down the absolute best premise for a psychological story line. I didnt like the show, but the idea was there.
Faust's run had tons of intentional adult references, at one point they even cracked a joke about "spiking the punch" at a party.
It makes sense when you consider that she was deliberately trying to make the show tolerable or even amusing for parents so they'd spend time with the kids while watching it instead of wanting to shoot themselves whenever it was on. It's the same thing classic cartoons like Looney Tunes used to do. Sure the kids love the slapstick and that's about all they see, but those cartoons are packed full of adult humor.
That's because Powerpuff Girls was based.
Even at the time I was surprised they dared.
leftists believe it or not used to be anti PC in the 90's, thats why a lot of them are now "reformed" and apologizing for their "toxic past".
Wrong

Yea but it was always the Left pushing this. It's incorrect to say the Left was ever anti-PC. It's just that it wasn't FULLY PC like it is now
Unthinkable today...for one thing, she's white and not fat.
Her power is that she can project her self image into how others perceive her. /s
(sounds like I just described a fucking JOJO stand...)
I remember that scene, she didnt want the dollars with "men" on them, she asked for Susan B. Anthony coins. LOL
Nobody writing American cartoons today is clever enough to come up with something like that.
isnt the guy who made it a Russian, same guy who did Samurai Jack and one of the Clone Wars animated series?
McCracken, not Tartakovsky, but Tartakovsky was a director.
Safe to say there was some creative overlap.
I never watched it when it was airing. Is the original worth the watch?
It had it's funny moments. It's almost like a parody of superhero stories. There's aspects that both kids and adults can appreciate.
If you like campy cartoons with a wink-wink-nod-nod, it's hilarious. Between Mojo Jojo and HIM, I love the villains.

It was cute, and the early seasons were pretty clever. Along with Dexter’s Lab and Johnny Bravo early Cartoon Network had a kickass lineup.
The good moments are great, but there is plenty meh in between. Nothing horrible by any stretch, but you aren't going to be engaged the entire way through.
Or how about the fact that one of the main villains is a literal demonic tranny
Don't you dare make fun of HIM! D:
Funny, but not as great as Sedusa and her ability to turn every man into a Simp.
lol, post a link!
There's only clips. I can't find a good one.
Created by Craig McCracken, husband of Lauren Faust.
Which is also why Friendship is Magic was so great until she left.

Only thing they got wrong is the straight long blonde hair. Blonds got a weirdly bad rap back in the day.
For a while every girl was bleach blonde which contributed to the stereotype. I don't know if they still do that.
Where I lived, it felt like mostly dudes were bleaching their hair. This was... 2002 I think.
