About
Kim Possible is an American animated Disney series created by Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley about the adventures of Kim Possible, a teenage crime fighter who faces worldwide and personal issues each day.
Premise
The show follows Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible (Christy Carlson Romano), a fiery and demanding teenager who saves the world on a regular basis while dealing with the normal challenges of a teenager. Her sidekick, Ron Stoppable (Will Friedle), is a clumsy, goofball teenager who owns a naked mole-rat named Rufus (Nancy Cartwright). The pair receive help from Wade (Tahj Mowry), who often supplies her with gadgets and information. Together, the team fight against villains, mainly Doctor Drakken (John DiMaggio) and his sidekick Shego (Nicole Sullivan), who often try to dominate the world.
History
According to the show's creators, the original idea for the series came during an elevator conversation, where McCorkle looked at Schooley and said, "Kim Possible: she can do anything" and Schooley replied, "Her partner is Ron Stoppable: he can't do anything".[1]
The series ran from June 7, 2002 to February 22, 2005, after three seasons and 65 episodes, but due show's popularity, Disney announced the production of a fourth season on November, 2005. This season debuted on February 10, 2007 and ended on September 7, 2007,[2]. Kim Possible is the second longest Disney Channel series, after Phineas and Ferb.
