  • Returning Series
Welcome to the Phineas and Ferb page at TV.com!''''Looking for something to do when school is out for the summer? Then you should tune in to this hit animated series on the Disney Channels (including Disney XD) as this show can give you all sorts of ideas that two overly creative stepbrothers can come up with during each day to pass the time before school starts in the fall. Of course, in real life, all of them would be impossible to do in one day. But as the master builders they are, Phineas and Ferb are able to bring their grand inventions and structures to life within a few hours, have their fun, and prepare for their next thing to do the next day. In their blended family, Phineas and Ferb are stepbrothers and can come up with the ideas on what to build and do for fun. Phineas' teenage older sister Candace, regards most of what they do as dangerous and unsafe, and in most episodes, tries her best to bust them in their schemes to her mom, Linda Flynn, or occasionally, her stepfather Lawrence Fletcher. However, her efforts are mostly thwarted as the boys' grand structures or inventions miraculously disappear before either parent can see them before arriving home or wherever they're located. Most times, they disappear as a result of their pet, Perry the Platypus, whom unknown to anyone in the family is a secret agent. To the Flynn-Fletcher family, he's a simple-minded pet, but when he gets the opportunity and nobody is looking, he puts on his little fedora hat, sneaks into his secret lair under the family home via various methods, and gets his assignments from Major Monogram. Perry's nemesis is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, an evil, but goofy scientist who comes up with various schemes of his own in efforts to rule the tri-state area of Danville, hometown of Phineas, Ferb, and company. Doofenshmirtz's schemes are as outrageous as the boys, as are the reasons he came up with them in the first place. But unlike, Phineas and Ferb, Heinz's efforts are usually unsuccessful as Perry is able to thwart the scientist's, and most times, the boys' and Perry's stories intertwine, leading to not just success for Perry, Phineas and Ferb and Doofenshmirtz's defeat, but Candace being denied the chance to bust her brothers. The cycle then starts again the following day in the summer.moreless

  • A Concept That's Been Overdone Throughout The Series.

    I haven't even seen the whole series to date, just a very few episodes, that Christmas special and Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension. But more than seeing any of this show, I have read mostly the lower rated reviews on here (ranging on the scale between 0-6) and from what I read of those reviews, I have to say this isn't among my most favorite Disney animated programs that would be high on the list, and there are some, certain others I prefer to it. I somewhat hate to say and admit it, but I'm going to have to agree with others who mentioned that it has got to be the most overrated of the Disney t.v. cartoons or otherwise. I probably shouldn't be surprised that it has run for over 100 episodes (even outlasting or surpassing Ducktales), considering its current popularity (not that I ever even tried to predict and estimate how long it would last). I don't know nor get what the point of the supposed 65 episode rule was with the Disney animated shows was anyway nor why it was even bothered with attempted to be applied. There were only a handful that made it to 65, some others never even made it that far and some actually exceeded that number. Sorry to go slightly off topic, but it's just I find that there are better shows that didn't last as long should've and I think the rule is sort of a waste, dumb and horse-feathers. Anyway, there just isn't really that much to it that makes it all that great nor special. I don't know, I'm kind of on the fence about it. There are specific elements or themes within each episode that are repeated and I won't mention them since other reviewers have brought them up already on the one hand. But on the other hand, it's not like the whole episodes are repetitive, there still are other things within some that distinguishes them from others, but I guess they just aren't enough for some viewers to matter that much to them.

    Again, I won't go into details of the typical routines of each episode, since others have covered the premise already, but if anybody who isn't familiar enough with the show wants to know more, just read through the other reviews. But I'll make a few, other comments about it. Someone or a few on here (as well as another site) asked a question concerning the shapes of the three main characters' heads. I read on Wikipedia that they are designed like they are to represent the first letters of each of their names. If I were to name a favorite character, I guess I could start off with Candace's friend, Stacey. I like the fact that she's there to help keep Candace in check. There may be some positive messages like about using your imagination for kids, but that just may not be enough. Can't be quite sure what the target audience could be now, as I read it started out what some may perceive as being for kids exclusively by nature, but then there were changes made to appeal to an older audience as well. I guess it depends on the viewer, really. I presume that's the thing about some programs. When it's one that becomes overkill, it's a missed opportunity on how it could've been executed differently and what could've been the better time to come to an end, once it seemingly reaches the point of exhaustion. I'm ambivalent about this show and if I gave it a higher rating, it would've been no higher than a 6 at the most, which i thought about giving. I may be a little too generous than others giving their ratings, but I think it's an appropriate and fitting rating for me anyway for the reason I just mentioned.moreless

    I dont like Phineas and Ferb that much, its boring and the writers are coming out of ideas. I think its cool that they invent stuff, i think the characters Phineas and Ferb are cool, but Candance annoys the living heck out me! All she does is trying to bust her brothers and talk about Jeremy. Like i said the writers are coming out of ideas, like the only think i look forward into an episode is the Dr. Doofensmetz/ Perry plot. I think the best season is season 1, now season 2 is pretty good, but season 3 is just OK/ bad. i don't there has ever been a perfect season 3 episode (only maybe like once or twice.) Well this show isn't that good. Overall 5/10.moreless

    Phineas and Ferb is the best cartoon ever. Better then Fish Hooks. Kick Buttuski. Other crappy shows. Every invention is diffrent. It shows creativity. I hope this show stays on for a long time :)

    This show is seriously lame. I's the same thing all the time. Phineas and Ferb build something amazing and Candace tries to bust them, and then the invention always vanishes because their pet Perry the Platypus is secretly a secret agent and always defeats Dr. Doofenshmirtz and then his lame evil invention (which always ends -inator by the way talk about lame) always makes the boys' invention vanish. Then Candace drags her mom there's no invention and she looks like an idiot. It's the same thing every time. The characters are also annoying too.moreless
