So, anyone else watched the PBS cartoon Wordgirl at all?

It concerns the adventures of young Becky Botsford who is secretly the vocabulary obsessed superhero WordGirl. Using the power of vocabulary (and hitting stuff) she fights crime in the form of cheese obsessed mad scientists, giant robots, and miscellaneous moronic criminals with random themes. She is accompanied by her monkey sidekick Captain Huggyface.

Shockingly, it's good. Most of the characters are amusingly moronic, the narrator interacts with WordGirl on occasion, and the show grabs some noted names on occasion for voice work. IE: Jeffery Tambor as the evil corporate executive Mr. Big.

Also: Peter Graves was in one episode.

It's spelled "Monkeys".

WordGirl is awesome.
