Now follow me on this:
While playing god one fateful night, Professor Utonium and his quest a perfect little girl (like all lonely male super geniuses do) leads to a freak accident, which leads to the creation of three bug-eyed super powered girls who live as any normal kindergarteners would, protecting the people living in the most disaster-prone city on earth from giant monsters and evil villain such as mad scientist monkeys, a crazy pink hillbilly, and the ever androgynous devil in drag; all while dealing with an obviously incompetent mayor and constant narration of their daily activities revolving around some sort moral dilemma that always seems to be solved with violence.
Who could argue with such a brilliant idea like that? Not Cartoon Network.
Since its original broadcast on Hanna-Barbera’s What a Cartoon! show in 1995, The Powerpuff Girls series has gone onto 6 seasons spanning 79 separate episodes (most made up of two 11 minute stories) a feature length movie and even its very own mutant shojo anime series, Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37BqYsNm_Ao
14th if you include the What a Cartoon! Shorts or 17th if you include Craig McCracken's student film Whupass Girls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpHk8BCg4JA&feature=related
In celebration, Cartoon Network will be airing an all day marathon of the series January 19th, all ending with a brand new episode at 8PM entitled “PowerPuff Girls Rule!!!”. The episode will supposedly be the official wrap-up functioning as the series finale. According to a video found on Cartoon Network’s website, the new episode was written and directed by creator Craig McCracken and will involve the girls fighting all of their villains in a fight for control of the entire world.
For those interested, animation was handled by the fine folks behind Fosters, and apparently the production team was able to get all of the old voice cast members to reprise their parts for this one episode
Following the premiere of this final episode, Cartoon Network will be releasing the complete series (including unreleased seasons 3-6) on DVD on January 20th. The set will include ‘“all 78 episodes of the show and the "T'was the Fight Before Christmas" movie, plus a new documentary, episode commentaries, promos, music videos, and more”’

Personally I’m incredibly ecstatic to see the first new episode in four years, and I’ll definitely be picking up the DVD set. I’m 10 all over again.

P.S. there will be a preveiw of coraline on cartoon network sometime around the new episode

This was easily one of the happiest event of my life. Though, I felt a little odd when I realized that the new episode was done in flash.
