Trivia:

The location of Townsville is given in the episode in which the girls must solve puzzles given by Him "or else the Professor will pay." The final location in the hunt is given by the Mayor who states that the global coordinates of an intersection is at 32 degrees North and 212 degrees West (or 148 East). This puts Townsville in the Pacific Ocean approximately 400 hundred miles east-by-southeast from Japan's largest island.

Quotes:

Bubbles: Hey. Are you trying to knock out my teeth?
Buttercup: No of course not. I'd never do that. No matter how valuable they are.

my all time favorite cartoon!

this tv-series is so funny! There are some scenes where i really fall of my chair from laughter (it's no lie). My favorite episode is called "Insect Inside": the scene when the narrator says "it's a beautiful day in Townsville!", and the guy starts singing about the hotdog... well, i can't tell you any more, you'll have to see that scene for yourself. I also like almost no, all the scenes with the mayor... that IS one of the funniest characters a human being has ever invented. I can't really explain why he is so funny, again you'll have to see it for yourself. I can't tell you if you will find it funny, because not everyone understands this kind of humor, i think.
