  Review

The Possibles travel down to sunny Florida to visit Nana. But what will be a bigger problem for Kim: stopping Drakken and Shego's latest plan, which involves a stolen shuttle...or surviving Nana's doting nature?

The funnier moments came in the beginning, like Kim's expressions concerning the sweater and there were some amusing touches throughout the episode, like the fact that Drakken and Shego disguise themselves as ice cream vendors.

Unfortunately, there's something of a dull streak running through the episode. The plan of having an army of people controlled by a signal (instead of young people's MP3 players, the frequency ends up enslaving Nana and her fellow oldsters through their hearing aids) is an interesting one, but there's not a whole lot done with it beyond the computer parts theft. Also, in the scene where Kim learns of Nana's past, there are some interesting facts revealed, but they're undercut by a particularly weak reference to Shaft. And poor Ron had nothing to do here but get rebuffed by college girls on Spring Break. Real nice. Debbie Reynolds was a breath of fresh air as Nana, though.

Ultimately, "The Golden Years" aren't really worth looking forward to.
