Trivia:

In the episode "Three Girls and a Monster", Blossom orders the commencement of flight plan Alpha-Omega-Atari. When executing this plan, the girls race through the city, at one point forming, with their color trails, the Atari symbol. In addition, the names Alpha and Omega are the names of the first and last gun turrets in Atari's classic arcade game Missile Command (Delta is the one left out).

Quotes:

Mayor: Powerpuff Girls, the city's being devoured! And whatever it is, it's very close! It's in the office...
Blossom: What?
Mayor: Okay, now there's a giant claw... it's very big and it's snapping.
Blossom: Hold tight, Mayor. We're on our way!
Mayor: Okay, I'll hold.

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.
