Kim: Ron, get over it already.
Ron: Sorry, K. P., but discovering your action hero is a big fake is not something you just get over.
Kim: And this from wrestling fan?
Ron: I don't get the connection.
Tim: Go get her, Adrena Lynn!
Dad: Jim, Tim - there will be no rooting for your sister's foe.
Brick: Y'know, I think what you do is really amazing.
Kim: Aw, saving the world is no big.
Brick: I mean how you're always spelling stuff in your cheers. It's so... "C-O-O-L". (laughs) (pauses) That's "cool", right?
TV Guy: ...and reports that Adrena Lynn is a fake, coupled with the rash of copycat stunts across the country...
Tim: That's us! [high-five's Jim's cast]
Jim: Ow!
TV Guy: ...has prompted this network to cancel Adrena Lynn in favor of more responsible programming. So, stay tuned for an extra hour of "Stuff on Fire"!
Tim: Dad, please! You're a rocket scientist! Can't you do something?
Dad: Well, I could put it in geosynchronous orbit, but I'm not sure how that would help.
Dad: You've got our undivided attention. (beat) The TV's broken.
Ron: Kim, the only thing down this road is the old Middleton fairgrounds.
Kim: That... and Adrena Lynn.
Ron: That place is haunted! Plus, I lost like 10 bucks trying to win a stuffed hippo...
Kim (to Brick): Listen, I'm sorry you almost plunged to your death on worldwide television...
Ron: Wow. Andrena Lynn is a real hero.
Kim: Ron! She stole that blimp.
Ron: This is art, KP. Sacrifices have to be made.
Andrena Lynn: Quarterback Brick Flagg is about to go on the wildest ride of his life. And the only person who can save him is his beloved girlfriend, Kim Possible.
Ron: And me!
Kim: Since when does my name have a 'the' in front of it?
Ron: It's an edgy exposé I call--
Editor (reading): "Math: You'll Never Actually Use It in the Real World."
Ron: I'm already working on a follow-up piece about semicolons.
Editor(On Phone): I don't care if she is the principal and your mother. I want that story!
Editor: You want to make the paper, Stoppable? Write a story that makes me care.
Ron: I'll do it. I'm a born reporter, I can smell a story a mile away. (Beat) Maybe Kim has an idea.
Ron (to Lunchlady): I'll have an omelet. Whites only.
(The Lunchlady plops the usual cafeteria slop on Ron's plate)
Ron (to Kim): She must not know who I am.
Tim: You have to make it work! What good is having a broken leg if you can't sit and watch TV all day?
TV Announcer: Tonight, one extreme
teen will go into the woods alone.
No food, no water, no human contact. Handcuffed to a bear.
Adrena Lynn: That teen is me.
FREAKY!
Kim: At least the bear won't go hungry.
(After Jim and Tim go to imitate Adrena Lynn's bear stunt.)
Ron: Aren't you gonna stop them?
Kim: Nah. The zoo's locked this time of night.
Ron: (to the football players) OK, OK, which one of you guys is failing a class, but still playing in this weekend's game? ... Oh, come on, one of you has to be failing at something!
Kim: Ugh! This show is a mind-numbing waste of satellite frequencies.
Ron: You're right. ... Besides, I'm taping it at home!
Ron: (Looking beat up) OK, I got my story. Football team full of nice guys who are not failing anything.
(Kim after hearing the news about her brothers from Wade)
Kim: YOU WERE DOING WHAT!?
Jim: Bungee jumping out of a blimp, like Adrenna Lynn.
Tim: But we didn't have a blimp, so we used the roof.
Jim: Only we didn't have a bungee rope, so we used yarn.

| Adrena Lynn seems to have a small crew for her show. Just a cameraman apparently, from what we see. Yet, when they are driving back from shooting the "bear" stunt, the cameraman points out the empty bear suit in the back of the van. So, if he is the only crewmember, then how did he film Adrena Lynn and who was in the bear suit for that "stunt"? And I know somebody's going to say they might have hired an actor or something, but why didn't they show the person being paid off? You know to increase the effect.
When Jim first has his cast, it's suspended from a sling. But, when he's watching Kim and Andrena Lynn fight on TV, not only is the sling gone, but his cast bends so he can rest his hand on his palm.
When Ron says "I'm the one responsible for having you canceled" a section of the rope he's being held up by disappears (presumably because someone thought Ron's head would still be obscuring it).
When Ron and Kim get their lunches from the cafeteria line, they have plates. (We don't actually see Kim get hers, but let's presume it's a plate.) As they start to walk to the tables, they have bowls. After the cut back to the wide shot during the invitation scene, they have plates again.
When the Adrena Lynn 'falls' out of the blimp, she seems to move around quite a lot. Making a lot of excessive hand gestures and actually jumping off the blimp. Yet, when the rope snaps and Kim catches her, it is revealed to be a dummy. So how was the dummy able to move around like that?
What if it was an animatronic dummy? That would cause the movement.
While Bonnie and Amelia are talking to Ron about his stories in the caf, the bottom of his shirt changes from red to black often.
More of a nitpick than a goof. After he, Tim and Ron have watched Adrena Lynn, Jim comes in to the kitchen and comes back in a matter of seconds with a piece of meat and one tied on his head....it was a little quick, I mean, he had to find the meat, and tie it on in the space of five or so seconds.
^-- While you are correct in noticing that Jim (or Tim)'s trip to the kitchen was much quicker than it should have been, it was done for a good reason. In comedy, one of the most important factors is timing, which, in this case, is the only way the gag would work. Had real time been used, the impact of the joke would have been lost.
When Kim was fighting with Adrena, she was on TV! Why didn't someone come help her defeat Adrena?
^-- Someone like... who? The fight didn't last *that* long, and the police were on the scene in time to cart 'Drena away. Besides, it's Kim's series ;)
Jim and Tim can be differentiated by the color of their shirts (Jim's is green, Tim's is red), or, when otherwise costumed, by the subtle differences in their hairstyles (Tim's is spikier). However, as the tweebs decide to tie steaks to their heads and sneak into the Middleton Zoo's bear cage, these two elements are mismatched -- the spikier-haired of the two is in green (though he was in red in the previous shot).
As Ron walks off with Bonnie and Amelia, his index finger is momentarily miscolored to match the lattermost's blouse.
When Brick Flagg first approaches Kim on the football field, he has his helmet tucked underneath his right arm. For the rest of the scene, the helmet is not there.
The Middleton High pay phone that Wade uses as a landline to contact Kim is missing a few buttons.
More of a nitpick... right after Rom shows Kim the Examiner paper, she gets a message from Wade, with her locker open - couldn't Wade just use that?? She was watching the news, but still...
Another nitpick... if the Possibles had satellite TV, how come they don't have a channel 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, or 15?
When Ron was playing back the interview with Kim the tape is rewinding even though he didn't press the button.
When Ron reveals to Adrena Lynn that he "made up that stuff about Kim liking Brick", Brick responds with "Oh, harsh". But how could he hear them talking when he was about 50 feet in the air, tied to the roller coaster, with air rushing past his ears?
Maybe Adrena Lynn's show was a show shown on local TV stations (I.E. Fox, WB, ABC, etc.). How else would it been on the TV in the hospital?
During Adrena-Lynn's midair admission to being less-than-extreme, the gray bands around her wrists (an undershirt?) disappear.
At the end of the episode, when Kim says "You do?" to Brick and "Thank you" to Rufus, her backpack is missing.
If Kim deployed her jet pack backpack to save Brick, then why do we see the jet pack packed up and back in the pack at the very end (when the pack deploys, it destroys the backpack).
As Brick talks to Kim at lunch, the button on his jacket disappears.
In the far away shot of Kim and Ron on the motor scooter, when Ron says there's nothing down the road but the old Middleton fairgrounds, his mouth is missing.
In an even wider shot, as Adrena Lynn ties Ron to the swing ride and Ron says the ride always makes him throw up, his mouth isn't moving.
At the beginning, when Ron takes the paper away from Kim, it looks like he's stuffing it in a paper folder, but in the next shot it looks like a bunch of loose papers.
Tara is not seen to be at the first cheerleader practice, yet she, not Blonde-Straight, is one of the cheerleaders who runs off past Kim and Brick and Ron a few scenes later.
When Kim answers Wade on the telephone, she doesn't hold the phone all the way up to her ear (maybe Wade was talking loud enough for her to hear and there was no reason to hold it that close?).
During her cheer routine, when Kim says "Who's gonna win against Eastside? Who? Who?" her hair is parted on the wrong side (flipped cel).
About the missing satellite channels... Satellite TV channels do not really go in order. I have a satellite TV, and the channels start at 100, and a lot of them are even numbers (and most of the odds are just the west coast airings of the previous channel).
Several times in this episode, the point where Ron's black (mission) shirt sleeves meet his shoulders changes appearances. At times there's a line, possibly a seam, while in other shots it's a smooth, uninterrupted connection.
In this episode (and other S1 eps by Toon City Animation), some character's mouths don't move for the first moment or so after they enter a scene. Their lips catch up on the third or fourth word or so.
In the close-up shot of Kim and Ron riding to the fairgrounds, Kim's left glove (the hand holding onto Ron, before she puts both around his waist) is missing.
When Adrena Lynn takes over all the tv station the tv is on channel 4. Kim's dad hits the next channel button. Then when they pan out onto the tv, it's still on 4.
As we all known, there are documentary pictures of Shego and Drakken sticked on the inside of Kim's locker. At the very begining, those pictures were replaced by some kind of text papers, later in this ep(around 6min.20sec.), they appears again. |

DYN? #1
Two recurring characters among the Middleton High student body - Amelia ("The New Ron") and the girl who dumped Ron in the library ("Crush")
DYN? #2
The "Z-Boy" billboard in New York ("Crush").
DYN? #3
There is a Club Banana in NYC right near where Kim and Ron watch Adrena bungee jump.
Is it just me...
or was Kim pretty freaked out about the tweebs jumping off of the house roof by yarn. She also looked relieved that they were okay. There's a different side of Kim.
DYN? #4
Apparently, Kim's had a 'the' in front of her name ever since "October 31st".
Analysis of Analysis
"October 31st", though, of course, as the 21st of 21 first season episodes (production code-wise), likely falls somewhere after "All the News" in the series' chronology.
DYN? #5
Adrena-Lynn's cameraman is the same cameraman from "Royal Pain".
Hippo thing?
Ron mentions on the way to the abandoned fairgrounds that he lost money trying to win a stuffed hippo. Does anyone else think that Ron has a thing for hippos? That and the trying to save the animatronic hippo Pizzapotamus in "Coach Possible" points that way.
DYN? #6
Every time Kim answers the Kimmunicator in this episode, when they show her fingers up close, the animators added her fingernails in. In other episodes they were never visible.
Re: Hippo thing
In "Two to Tutor", Ron also had a stuffed hippo (One of his many "friends" consisting of stuffed animals). Maybe he finally won it?
DYN? #7
Acknowledging the possibility of flipped cels, this episode shows that Ron is left-handed (as he starts scribbling his story after going over the tape of Kim's interview). It's possible he only writes left-handed, though, as he fires his grappling gun (Crush) and golfs (Royal Pain) right-handed.
Questionable Justice
Sure, it's understanding that Adrena-Lynn gets arrested at the end of this episode for fraud and attempted murder on Brick's life, but why did her camerman get arrested as well? As we saw earlier, he was against the idea of Adrena-Lynn's show continuing because children were getting hurt trying to imitate her stunts (listen to his tone of voice when he points out to AL that the kids might not get that she fakes the stunts). Also, when AL plotted revenge, the cameraman tried to point out that her show was cancelled.
Re: Is it just me...
You oviously have no siblings. No matter how annoying your younger siblings are, you would want them not to get hurt and die because they are your family. (I've had experience) |

None: None
Dr. Richard Kimble, Lt. Gerard, and the One-Armed Man have their final showdown in an amusement park in the final episode of the TV series "The Fugitive." More Info
None: The House of Mirrors
Used in a number of movies, but most memorably in "Enter the Dragon" in the final fight between Bruce Lee and Han. (Hundreds of images and reflections, and not one of a camera crew!)
Tim: Hey, let's see if we can sneak into the bear cage at the zoo -- like Adrena Lynn!
Jim: Cool!
Tim: Here, tie this steak on!
Jim: Super cool!
Jim and Tim's copycat stunts may be a reference to the similar response to MTV's "Jackass" (including one much-publicized instance of two teenagers running into a friend with their car). More Info
Ron Stoppable: Houston, the angle has landed...
A play on Neil Armstrong's report (to Mission Control in Houston) of the Apollo 11's historic touchdown on the Moon's surface: "The Eagle has landed." More Info
Character: Pop-pop Porter
Pop-pop Porter is short, fat, has white hair and a white beard, and speaks with a southern accent. He greatly resembles 'The Colonel', the founder (and animated spokesman) of KFC.
N/A: ...So stay tuned for an extra hour of Stuff on Fire
It sounds like those stupid fake Fox shows mentioned on The Simpsons, ex: When Buildings Collapse and When Dinosaurs Get Drunk. And it sounds like real Fox specials, ex: 101 Things Removed From the Human Body and Stupid Behavior Caught on Tape.
Episode Title: "All the News"
From the New York Times' slogan "All the News That's Fit to Print."
