The series officially premiered on November 18, 1998, lasting 6 seasons with 78 episodes total. A feature film, a Christmas special, and a 10th anniversary special were produced for the series.
Episodes of The Powerpuff Girls have seen numerous VHS and DVD releases as well. The musical episode "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" was never aired in the United States, but was broadcast on YTV in Canada in 2004–2005 as well as in other countries (including Japan), and is included on the complete series DVD box set.
Series overview
Episodes
Whoopass Stew
Craig McCracken made a short titled "Whoopass Stew! The Whoopass Girls in: A Sticky Situation" as a student at the California Institute of the Arts. Four shorts were intended, though only the first one was finished. The other three were presented on the Complete Series DVD set accompanied by the original storyboards and their original audio.[1] McCracken submitted "A Sticky Situation" to Cartoon Network, and some time later the name "Whoopass Stew!" was changed to "The Powerpuff Girls".
