We meet the Smiths. An average family living in an average suburbs in an average family home. We meet Mr. Smith. He's extremely bored with his humdrum life. Every day, the same thing. Nothing exciting ever happens to poor Mr. Smith. Next door to Mr. Smith lives the PowerPuff Girls. Mr. Smith secretly despises their perfect, happy life. One day while watching television, he sees a special report about Mojo Jojo kidnapping the Mayor. He becomes captivated by the power Mojo has over the entire town. He actually roots for Mojo to succeed. Meanwhile, Mr. Smith secretly works on his plan to become a super-villain. His plan is pathetic and he is easily foiled by the PPGs.
Mr. Smith feels like a "nobody." He feels that society has turn its back on him. By becoming the "bad guy," people will sit up and take notice of him. A very interesting look into one aspect of the criminal mind.
Some of my favorite parts:
Mary Ann Smith: You'll never guess what's for breakfast! Pancakes!
Reporter (referring to the PPGs): Bless your huge little heads.
The dinner scene.
The Professor eating his last pea.
Pie fight!BTW, this episode reminded me a bit of that movie with Michael Douglas, "Falling Down." I haven't seen the movie in a while, so I don't know if there were any inside references thrown in.
Two and a half stars
