'''''Kim Possible''''' is a Disney Channel original Emmy-winning American animated television series about a teenage crimefighter named Kim (full name Kimberly Ann Possible) who has the task of dealing with worldwide, family, and school issues every day. The show is fairly action-oriented, but also has a strong, light-hearted comedic atmosphere and often lampoons conventions and clichés of the secret-agent and action hero genres.
About the show
Kim (voiced by Christy Carlson Romano) often finds herself criss-crossing the globe in an attempt to rescue people, stop crimes, and battle supervillains... all the while being expected to come home and complete her homework in time. Kim Possible attends Middleton High School, and is captain of the school's cheerleading squad. However, the red-haired, tummy-baring crime fighter cannot save the world alone. Alongside her is Ron Stoppable, her goofy, wisecracking sidekick, and his scene-stealing pet naked mole rat, Rufus.
The series premiered in June 2002, and the first episode to air, ''Crush'', was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award the following year. With the premiere of this episode, Kim Possible has since been regarded as the most watched and highest rated television show on the Disney Channel in many years. The series as a whole was nominated for the Daytime equivalent in 2004, and again in 2005 (that year saw it receive 5 nominations with 1 win).

Kim's dialogue tends to be peppered with not-so-typical teen slang; for example, "So not the drama" and "No big", as well as the series' catchphrase, "What's the sitch?" (situation). The show's title music, ''Call Me, Beep Me'', is sung by Christina Milian. Much of its artistic style is due to character development by artist Stephen Silver.
Kim has faced many different foes and villains throughout her career. She has dealt with evil weather controlling machines, super fast growing grass and one time even being placed under mind control by her arch foe Doctor Drakken. Many of her villains also point out the clichés of villainy often saying it's old or classic.
Despite the show's popularity, production on the show ended on February 22, 2005, after 3 seasons and 65 episodes. On November 29, 2005, it was announced that Disney had renewed the show for a fourth season.
