Chris Bailey mentioned in a Clerks: the Animated Series commentary, which got me interested in it out of the blue one day since I'd listened to that particular track numerous times and it never occured to me to seek out the show. Luckily, I did, it aired about half an hour after I listened to the commentary, and I've been a fan ever since. The first ep I saw might've been Team Possible, although I'm not 100% sure. That was at least one of the first ones I saw.

I saw an advertisement for the first episode when it was first out, thought it sounded good and watched it.

Was just channel surfing.
Saw Kim Possible.
Liked the animation.
Thought Kim was cute.
Forgot about it for awhile.
Really got into it thanks to So the drama and season three.
Been a fan ever since.

Ah, the glorious story of how I got hooked on Kim Possible. To tell the truth, I loved cartoons when I was little, but I only watched Chip 'n Dale, Madeline, Magic School Bus, and all the "little kids" cartoons. I was in 4th grade when KP came out, but I wasn't a major Disney fan at the time because a majority of my friends and the "cool" people thought cartoons were for babies. I shouldn't have listened. But of course I knew what KP was. Everyone did, even if they didn't watch the show, they knew what it was. My one friend, (she still loved cartoons and didn't care what other people thought) kept talking about KP and how she loved Rufus because he was cute. We would both sing the Naked Mole Rap (I knew that song because I saw a commercial with it while flipping through channels, and my friend taught me the rest of the song) After a while, around 5th grade, my friend lost interest, or at least, she didn't talk about it anymore. The first actual episode I saw was one summer day when That's So Raven ended. (A different friend got me liking that one) It was Adventures in Rufus Sitting, the half ep. I couldn't put down the remote, it was really good. I liked it because of the action. Unfortunately, the 'rents came home from wherever it was they went. I always felt stupid watching Disney while they were in the room, because I didn't want them to ridicule what I was watching, so I turned it off. "What were you watching?" They asked. I was caught. "Oh, just a show about a girl who saves the world." "That's nice," was the flat response. After that episode, I forgot about what a good show it was. Actually, the only reason I got back into the show was because of my renewed interest in Disney. It was around the end of my 8th grade year, and I turned on Disney. That's So Raven had just ended and American Dragon was coming on. I had always ridiculed that show as being stupid, and I wanted to watch it to make fun of it's stupidity. It came on and I wasn't really interested, until the show got to a suspenseful part. Unfortunately, mom came home. But I didn't forget American Dragon. I went back up to my computer and went to Disney channel's website where they had full episodes up. I watched the American Dragon episode "Act 4 Scene 15" and I fell in love. Now the whole summer I started watching American Dragon at 4 o clock. And then after that what came on but, you guessed it, Kim Possible. I watched more of that, and got interested in it, but wasn't completely obsessed. All this changed when Toon Disney showed So the Drama. I checked the TV info button for So the Drama to see what it was about and read the summary. when I heard that Ron "finds out he has feelings for Kim" I knew I had to watch it. From then on, I was hooked. Then I vowed to watch every episode. I went online to learn all the episode names and quotes and trivia (I have no life, as you can see) That was when I found out the good news that Season 4 was coming. I read some spoilers and knew that I had to watch all the other episodes in order to be geared up for S4. Watching more and more episodes, I became more and more hooked. Finally, I managed to see every single one. So really, I owe ADJL for my discovery of KP. I still love ADJL, but I've come to realize that it just isn't quite like KP. KP holds the first priority in my favorites, but ADJL is not far behind. Another quick thing, I realized that when I watched KP, I felt better about myself. I became more confident, more cheerful about life in general. I didn't care that others knew that I watch cartoons. And now that I've done that, I have more friends than I can imagine. Amazing how a simple show can change your life.

I discovered Kim Possible when I was reading the 300th issue of Starlog; it was mentioned there in an article, and I liked the concept behind it, so I decided to watch when it came on CTV first and then on the Family Channel. I've been hooked ever since, as a man of 39. I'm sorry to see it go, but to be frank, a fifth season is pushing it somewhat, and there's no guarentee that that the creators can keep up the creativity level of the show; already, people are saying that it's 'jumped the shark'"]http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/kim-possible-general-comments/1095]'jumped the shark' at that site"]http://www.jumptheshark.com/index.jspa]at that site. So maybe it's time for it to end. I will always cherish Kim, Ron, Rufus, and the rest forever; that will never end.

Dude i have been to this site before and if you read majority of the comments and if you look at the votes majority ppl it have not jump the shark and dont forget other sites like TV.com where majorirty voted S4 rocks or yahoo.com where they also find S4 rocks or here and even some of the fans wish we succeed for S5 and congratulate us and look at the Youtube video score ratings and comments and positive reviews from countless sites.Believe me this show is far from jumping the shark and we should also considered the fact that S4 episode scores are way higher than the previous seasons except for GSM and because of S4 the Kimmunity grew rapidly and we still havent considered the millions of closet fans out there.
And some of you can say im Majorly In Denial but i assure you i speak the truth on how i see the situation.

I remember way back when when DC was promoting Kim Possible like crazy, back when it was first getting started. I used to watch the DC when they played their old animated movies on nights during the week, and I - foolish girl that I was then - was all, upon seeing the promos: "Cheerleader saves the world and speaks with crazy "teen" speak. Uh. Pass." I was 16, and battling with my parents over my current obsession with anime, and I had a hard enough time trying to survive that mess. What I assumed would be a kind of flakey, shallow tween 'toon - well, I figured I had better things to do. Then my brother, who watches a lot of TV, decided to leave the TV on after one of his marathons, I recall. Either that, or I was channel-surfing and decided to leave it on Kim Possible, because nothing better was on. In any case, the whole "Don't judge a book by it's cover" (or promos in this case), proved again, true. I decided that all things considered, the show was pretty cute. Can't remember the episode though I think it may have been "The New Ron." However, I was still living in a household that frowned on teens watching "cartoons" and I was also big in my "if it's not anime, it's not cooooool" stage. (Since gotten over that, thankfully.) So, I'd watch it now and then if it happened to be on - and as such, I always seemed to watch an episode halfway through. I watched all of Stitch in Time when it premiered, I think - but time got the better of me, and this show I kindasorta casually watched fell on the back burner and I didn't really watch anymore. I had heard about the fan campaigns, as some of that news and the impressive resolve had trickled over into a few of my other fandoms, but other than that, the show slipped off the radar for me, and I pretty much forgot about it. Then hmm, back in February 2007, one lazy afternoon, I decided to take a break from killer college life and watch TV, a real rarity for me. I hear promos for how "Season 4" of Kim Possible is going to start in a couple of weeks. I smile, going, "Hey! Didn't the fans make that happen? How impressive." I remember how I used to be fond of the show, and in a fit of nostalgia, I decide to tune in for the premiere. After watching the four episodes, I am thusly hooked, fully and completely. I decide to see about the fans of KP, and see how they're reacting to the fact their efforts paid off. Google provides me with a link to RS.net - and I lurk for about a month and a half before I decide that you all are awesome and I want in on the fun. And that's how I'm here.

Get a mug and some Cocoa moo, 'cause you're in for a loooong tale:
While I had glanced KP in a magazine add way back (2003), I never forgot that image and the characters in it. Fast Forward, please. March 2007. Date: unknown. Time: Unknown. It was a weekend, and like all weekends, my brothers came to the small house my family has here in Switzerland. While surfing Wikipedia, my brother was flipping channels. On one of them I see "All the news", and the add immediately surfaced inside my brain. Craving information, I typed those magic words into the search box. "Interesting characters". I read the StD synopsis, and liked it. A LOT. "Grassroots operations?". The fans had pushed Disney, one of the largest "soulless" corporations in the world, to make another season? Damm. "So, what links are there to fansites". SDS... After swimming there for a couple of hours, the address of this site landed into my position. I am sorry to say that the means of acquiring the ENTIRE series was not entirely legal. But it was the only crime I was glad to commit. Nabusan helped me get into the story and myths of KP and it's fanbase. And so, here I am. A proud member of this family.
By the way, are you going to drink that Cocoa-moo?

I didn't have The Disney Channel, so never saw the show except once or twice when channel surfing on some one else's TV, I would catch A few moments of Kim Possible. Wasn't too impressed because she always seemed to be saying something snarky to somebodie. Then in August 2008 I saw an episode on YouTube (don't know what prompted me to do so) and got hooked. Since then not A day goes by that I don't read A KP fanfic, view KP fanart and video, or peruse A KP website.
