Shut the Pup Up (The Powerpuff Girls, 1998)

Shut the Pup Up is the second half of the first episode in the fifth season of the Original Powerpuff Girls.

Plot
After witnessing a crime, Talking Dog stays at the girls' house as part of a witness protection program. The girls try to ask him about the crime, but all he does is insult everyone by mistake.

Why It Should Shut The Pup Up (Bad Qualities)

 * 1) The Talking Dog is somewhat annoying in this episode, as when the girls try to get information from how he witnessed the crime. He just insulted everyone throughout the entire episode.
 * 2) As mentioned in WIS#1, it's kind of a torture episode for the girls, as they can't sleep much, thanks to the Talking Dog insulting them, and he ate the girls' pancakes without asking.
 * 3) Although tolerable, the girls don't go save the day until the last minute, but then again, it was because of the Talking Dog explaining more information each night.
 * 4) Although everyone else got mad at the Talking Dog insulting them, the Mayor was still somehow happy when he said that he could barely see his rotten teeth under his mustache.
 * 5) The pacing is very slow and boring, as mentioned above in WIS#1.
 * 6) The title of the episode is a pun on a swear word which is too inappropriate for a kids' show. It was similar to the Banned episode of Dexter's Laboratory "Rude Removal" where Rude Dexter and Dee Dee swear.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The girls at least try to ask the Talking Dog the information of the witnessed crime and find out the criminal when he fully explained.
 * 2) The dog insulting everyone can be justified due to him witnessing a crime, and he was tolerable mainly in the first few minutes and the end of this episode.
 * 3) Good Ending: The girls go to the place the dog witnessed the crime (the Stagly-Only Brothers Bistro), bring the thieves (the Stagly-Only Brothers) to their house, and so the dog cries due to him getting attached to the girls' house and hugs them.
