Dexter's Laboratory - "GIRL Squad."

Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to school, and they each were assigned very hazardous duties, but I took them away from all that, my name is Veston. That's right, we're reviewing my favorite episode of Dexter's Laboratory, and perhaps my personal favorite in the entire series, "GIRL Squad!"

After learning some lessons about neighborhood criminals from McBark the Crime Hound, a parody of McGruff the Crime Dog, Dee-Dee, and her friends, Mee-Mee and Lee-Lee, decide to form their own neighborhood criminal spy team! Simply known, as Johnny Bravo puts it, G - Glamorous, I - Investigators, R- Ready to, L, Lick Crime, GIRL Squad! Following a brief lesson from Dexter on "licking" crime, Dee-Dee and her friends come across a criminal in silhouette lurking around the neighborhood. Who are you gonna call? The GIRL Squad!

Will these girls stop this mad man? Stay tuned to find out!

Now, this episode is a clever set-up to Charlie's Angels and it sets up who the girls would be, Dee-Dee for example would be Farrah Fawcett, Mee-Mee would be Kate Jackson, and Lee-Lee would be Cheryl Ladd, and if you want to technically add Dexter into the mix, he would have to be David Doyle. Except, Dexter's appearance was quite brief and temporary, so I consider it its own separate category, it's fine if you do though. Even their chances to catch the crook are so silly it's hilarious! Like tying shoes to the truck and tail the bad, and apparently, Coca-Cola is a thing in this universe. That's interesting.

So, overall, aside from the fact that the crook was actually just the gardener, sorry, but I had to spoil the twist ending, the episode gets pretty much everything right. It's got a decent parody, a decent plot, and a weird twist, so overall, in between those scenes and the interesting character of McBark the Crime Hound, this episode is definitely a good one.

Also, as for the GIRL Squad, this crimes been licked.
