Mission Kim Possible to Close?
Recently, MKP group founder Tucsoncoyote posed a question to KP fans: “Has Mission Kim Possible outlived it’s usefulness”? And that “because now so few people care (and the number of posts show it), the usefulness of Mission Kim Possible I feel has come to an End. So in order to get some feedback here, I’m not going to close off this group until January 14th, 2010, the sixth anniversary of the creation of this Yahoo Group.”
At SDS, we’re continuing to fight for KP’s legacy, for better air times and DVD sets, for as long as it takes. and Webmaster Greg feels that it would be a mistake to throw away the history and member list of MKP. But it’s not up to us, it’s up to you, the fans! Visit MKP and let your voice be heard, no matter what side you come down on.

Sneak Peak of Good Luck Charlie!
We always like to close the newsletter with something fun, and this issue is no exception!
On December 4th, Webmaster Greg attended a taping of Disney Channel’s newest original series Good Luck Charlie staring Bridgit Mendler (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Jason Dolley (Cory in the House). The series is currently expected to begin airing in April or May 2010, although no official announcement has been made. In addition to filming four scenes from episode #111 “Kit and Kaboodle” they also showed the audience the first episode of the series – to introduce the characters.
We learn that the mom is a nurse, and it’s her first day going back to work. Her husband Bob runs an exterminator business (Bob’s Bugs be Gone) and assures her that baby Charlie will be fine. Meanwhile, Teddy is trying to kiss “the hottest guy in school” and keeps getting interrupted.
The show is a refreshing change of pace, in that it deals with normal problems with a normal family. At least as normal as any TV family can get – no pop stars, no wizards, no hotels, etc. The only “gimmick” is baby Charlie, which in no way detracts from the charm of the show.

It hasn’t been nine years since she last voiced Lilo. More like three.
And girl’s voices don’t change that much anyway. She could manage it, or they could tweak it with the computer if needed.
