This week in The Pilot’s Lounge: we revisit the very first mission of Kim Possible — “Crush” (June 7, 2002) 🛰️

💥 Kim saves the world
💀 Ron loses his pants immediately
🐀 Rufus becomes an icon
🎮 Dr. Drakken tries to steal… a video game factory?
❤️ Kim turns into a disaster around Josh Mankey

We break down:

• Why this pilot weirdly aired out of order
• The INSANE voice cast
• The elevator pitch that created the show
• Why Disney tried to end it early
• Whether Ron was secretly in love with Kim from episode one
• And why this might’ve been Disney Channel’s greatest original cartoon

Plus:
📺 What was topping TV in June 2002
🎬 The early-2000s box office
🎵 Ashanti absolutely dominating the charts
✈️ And our final verdict: Standby… or First Class?

So the question is: after 24 years… would we still fly with Kim Possible?
