Well, to add to this...

Remember Craig McCracken's series that was before Foster's? Two weeks from today (1/19), nothing but Powerpuff Girls.

The 10th anniversary episode will air during the marathon, for those that are interested. It will air at 8 PM ET.

Newsarama interviewed Craig last week about PPG's anniversary, it's another interesting and well done interview. Of course the marathon tomorrow was mentioned to start out.

A little tid bit from it-

Quote:

NRAMA: So let�s get seriously Powerpuff-centric here. How does it feel to be talking about the 10th anniversary of their debut on Cartoon Network? When you first came up with Whupass Girls, did you ever think we�d be talking about this?

CM: : I knew I had something cool that was entertaining to watch. I didn�t know what would come of it. When I was an animation student at Cal Arts in the early 90s, the idea of selling a television show to a network just didn�t exist. No one had really done that. Yes, John K(ricfalusi) had sold his own television show but he had been working in the industry for years. He was an established veteran when he sold Ren & Stimpy. In my case, the possibility of becoming a creator just wasn�t a possibility. At the time, none of us thought that was an option. We had fantasies and pipe dreams of it, but there was no practical application at that time.

NRAMA: So was it Linda Simensky or Mike Lazzo coming up to you at that time?

CM: : We were all fortunate enough to be working at Hanna-Barbera at the time when the merger happened with Turner. Then Cartoon Network got launched in 1992. Then they started the shorts program. We were just there, kids with ideas, when they said we�re looking for ideas. Do any of you artists have ideas? It really was just good timing.

Looks like there'll be a "part two" coming, covering Foster's and Cartoonstitute. We'll have to keep our eyes on that.

I'm watching it as I type. ^_^

Lynnie · 01-19-2009, 04:38 PM

So am I.

I actually started watching Foster's before I watched PPG, so I've been watching it only the last few years. And the few times CN aired it was usually on holidays (like today). So when I watch PPG I get this "holiday" feeling, I find it relaxing.

HerrimanWasHere · 01-19-2009, 04:53 PM

Yeah Lynnie, I'm kinda having that feeling too. Gosh...I forgot how much I use to reeeeeeeeaally love this show. The villians...so cool.

My favorite was Him. Loved the design and the voice.

Luminouslolly · 01-19-2009, 08:25 PM

Yeeeeesssss!!! Him = <3

Oh man, I first watched this show around the time I turned ten, and I'm 17 now....so you do the math! Such an awesome show, and it's so great that Craig moved on with Foster's. Sadly, since that's almost over, I wonder what he'll come up with next.

I used to have a PPG magazine. It was so awesome, but I remember throwing it away after some time. I sure wish I hadn't!
