The girls work to save the city from various threats, including monsters, would-be conquerors, and other criminals. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera until 2001, at which point Cartoon Network Studios assumed production responsibilities. The series originally premiered in 1998 and concluded in 2004. The voice cast for the program includes Cathy Cavadini, Elizabeth Daily, Tara Strong, and Tom Kenny.
