At the beginning of the summer, I started watching this Cartoon Network show with my five year old son and eight year old niece, and I was hooked from the beginning.

Alex, Sam, and Clover are three teenaged high school girls who deal with the pressures of dating, fashion, school, and being spies. They work for W.O.O.H.P. (The World Organization of Human Potential), are supervised by a cool Brit named Jerry, and literally fall into their assignments at the most unexpected moments. The show is beautifully animated and the writing is superbly clever, funny, and age-appropriate. I plan to buy all three dvd's because this show is great. If you've got children, they'll love it, and you will, too, because you can sit with them and become engrossed in it.

This is the first DVD of the cartoon series "Totally Spies". It contains the following episodes: 001 A Thing for Musicians; 002 Queen for a Day; 003 The New Jerry; and 025 A Spy is Born - Part 1. The DVD provides a good crooss section of the show. The best episode here is 025 A Spy is Born - Part 1. The buyer of this DVD should be aware that this is a bare bones DVD -- no extras. What is on the VHS tape is EXACTLY what is contained on the DVD. There isn't even any cross promotional information on future releases or other available products. The lack of extras on the DVD cost this 0.5 to 1 stars in my rating.

This is one of my favorite TV shows, but does it come on TV anymore? If they did stop showing it, I think they should keep showing it on TV. My friends and I like this show and we even pretend we're Sam, Clover, and Alex sometimes. I own 3 DVDs and some of the books. Sam is my favorite character. Cartoon Network started showing several new boys' shows so they might have stopped showing it. I think they should keep showing it, especially since they have almost no girls' shows now. They should've cancelled something that no one watches anymore instead of this. It was really popular a few months ago, wasn't it? I used to watch it almost every afternoon. Now all I see is the 12 episodes they have on DVD but I would like to see all the other episodes too.
Maybe they do show it sometime, but I looked through the TV guide newspaper thing and it wasn't in it at all. Do any other channels show it, too?
P.S. Several people have said that this show is for dumb people but I am in the class for smart kids at my school and I watch it. My friends watch it and even though they aren't in the class they aren't dumb either.
P.P.S. I don't mind that they made it look like anime. I don't like anime anyway.

Totally Spies is one of my favorite shows and I can't wait to this DVD. The best thing about thus is the never before episode "A Spy is Born". This episode was never shown on Cartoon Network. If you like action then get this DVD.

My 8YO and 6YO loved this DVD, however buyer beware. I am now back looking for the next DVD in the series as "A Spy Is Born - Part 1" is a cliff hanger and Part 2 is not included on this DVD. I say that should cost them at least one star (maybe I should consider a second, but I will be generous).

I think this show has some pretty lame gender stereotypes but other than that I'm surprised that the so enlightened french made this cartoon(laughing hysterically and snorting). I love this show even though it is done in anime style. I feel this show would have been much better if they ditched the gender stereotypes and gave the characters more in-depth personalities. I think this show would have been a blast if the girls were given real missions instead of standard saturday morning cartoon drek. I feel that calling it a cheap imitation of anime is too harsh a rating. All though I have plainly stated my complaints other than that I recommend Kim Possible a hundred times over this show. It has a strong heroine and is funny too.

I loved this show when I was in middle school and still love it to this day. It's fun, smart, and highly entertaining. I wish they'd bring it back!

Hey, I may be a guy and all, but I think "Totally Spies" is one high-flyin' action show. It kind of takes girl power to a whole new level. I'd like to think of the main spy characters as teenage "Powerpuff Girls," another brand of girl power show on the Cartoon Network. In fact, the personalities of the superheroines are quite similar to that of the spies ! But I digress...

This DVD may not be much, but like the VHS, it has the first three fun-filled, action-packed episodes and a bonus cliffhanger episode called "A Spy is Born". I think the first three episodes of this show are my most favorites (unlike other episodes of other shows I've reviewed). They include the episode where the spies save a queen and the one where their boss was a notorious bad guy.

If you like shows like "Totally Spies," may I suggest "The Powerpuff Girls" or "Atomic Betty" on the Cartoon Network ? Also, the creators of "Spies" did a new show on Nicktoons Network called "Martin Mystery." This features the same brand of anime-like action and stunning animation just like "Spies" except this series circles around a young boy solving some super-strange cases. Also good.

hello all you tottally spies haters wow you guys really need to watch this show more often this show BLOWS AWAY any other shows CN has i mean CN has the most STUPIDEST shows 'teen titans' 'camp lazlo' 'fosters home for imgainary friends'you people obviuosly have bad taste and im here to defend this classic title from any bull**** you morons throw at it so stick that in your wistle and blow!!

I remember one episode of Totally Spies called "Mommie Dearest" in which the girls' mothers are turned into mindless slaves by an evil mastermind. Alex (the girl with dark hair) has a mother who's a real babe when she wears a bikini.
