The Powerpuff Girls was an animated American superhero series that ran from 1998 - 2005. Fans fell in love with the three super-powered girls - Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles - who were created in a laboratory. The award-winning series was adorable, humorous, and filled with superhero action and girl power. Recently, The CW decided to revive the franchise as it announced its plans for a live-action Powerpuff Girls series. However, the series has had several hiccups along the way. Hope for the Powerpuff Girls originally flourished when The CW cast Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Chloe Bennet as Blossom, Disney channel star, Dove Cameron, as Bubbles, and Broadway star, Yana Perrault, as Buttercup. The talented actresses certainly formed a powerful trio, but it seems the script needed a bit more work. The CW delayed the show's fall debut, halting the series to rework the Powerpuff Girls' pilot.
