Phineas and Ferb

*ZariusTwo* · 06-20-2011, 03:46 PM

It was dubbed by New York Times as the "next Spongebob", has a soundtrack that's up there with the classics of The Simpsons, has a feature-length movie coming in August (Across The Second Dimension), it's jokes often go over the kids heads, it's the best Disney ANYTHING airing on the channel, as well as it's most repeated cartoon (at least over here in the UK anyway), its the pure glory that is Phineas and Ferb. It's what happens when you take Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Hey Arnold! and crossed it over with Family Guy's sense of humour, focusing on the adventures of Phineas and Ferb Flynn, out to try and make every day of Summer the best day ever by indulging in delightfully over-the-top experiances and inventions, much to the chagrin of their sister Candace, who's obsessed with busting them. Plus it has a show- within-the show as the boys seemingly useless pet platapus Perry doubles as a secret agent thawarting the ridiculous schemes of Dr. Doofensmirtz

P&F is my sh*t.

Peanut · 06-20-2011, 04:39 PM

Phineas and Ferb is f*cking fantastic. The music is actually the thing that got me to like it so much. I don't really see the connection to SpongeBob, unless they're just talking popularity, which I have no clue about.

*Brodie* · 06-20-2011, 04:43 PM

I love P&F. I have an Agent P figure on my desk, and a Dr Doofensmirtz manning a laser gun on my key rack.

Just started watching this, love it. Perry is the ****.

Bowling for Soup does the theme song. They even made an appearance on an episode.

When I saw them perform @ a bowling tournament last January, they closed the telecast performing the Phineas & Ferb theme. It was the Tournament of Champions that ABC Sports aired January 29.

I've caught it a coupla times when babysitting my niece, and thought it was pretty good, but must admit I sometimes don't pay all that much attention to the telly, what with us drawing, and playing with her toys (in which, Batman was recently introduced, to go quickly to the top of her favourite toys...) I'll start paying a bit more attention now!

*Cure* · 06-21-2011, 11:59 AM

Yeah, this show is a good example of how much people don't know when they complain about today's cartoons.

plasticturtle · 06-21-2011, 04:35 PM

It's probably the only decent show the Disney Channel has right now. I don't watch much TV but when I do I'll always watch this if it happens to be on.

Zog the Equalizer · 07-20-2011, 03:34 PM

I've always appreciated this show for it actually showing kids to be imaginative and encouraging creative play instead of being about mischievous kids, which makes me feel like an old person. But I think it really shines because it's actually a really good show to. It's great to have something I can watch with my 7-year-old sister and still really enjoy myself. Plus the music and humor are awesome

RAM BAM · 07-21-2011, 10:11 PM

I've watched a few episodes and I do find it quite funny, and that's from a bitter old codger like me!

*ZariusTwo* · 08-06-2011, 12:49 PM

Anyone see the movie? I thought it had a lot of cute moments and great songs...also glad/irritated they teased us with Phineas and Isabella's first kiss...only for neither of them to remember it thanks to the amensianator.

*Turo602* · 08-06-2011, 01:11 PM

Yeah, it was such a great movie. I really enjoyed it and it made me laugh my ass off from time to time. The Love Handel part was epic. It paid great tribute to the series. Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension is full of win.

cofi · 08-15-2011, 02:55 PM

One of the best cartoons ever .

*ZariusTwo* · 01-21-2012, 03:34 PM

Apparently a recent contract deal with Disney has guaranteed amongst other things, a fourth season, a spin-off pilot (rumoured to be about Isabella), and a theatrical movie.

The movie is reportedly being written by the guy behind Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3, and the rumoured Sesame Street movie. Interesting. Wikipedia has some info on it being a blend of live action and 2-d animation (hmm...not so keen on that), since it's Wikipedia saying that, I'll take it with a grain of salt until verified through other sources.

There's also a live stage tour on the way.

Jelly Bean · 01-21-2012, 07:43 PM

hmm, maybe I'll check this show out.

*DrSpengler* · 01-25-2012, 06:57 PM

I love this show. It is so smartly written it feels like what a "grown up" animated comedy should be; not all crass and vulgar jokes, but genuinely smart and clever jokes that might go over the heads of younger viewers (while still being accessible to them on different levels).

Just a class all its own.

I pass the Patriot Center every week on my way to my comic shop and the elecronic billboard showed an advert for the stage show. Not... gonna go see it, but I was surprised to see it.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-25-2012, 07:50 PM

I love the show. When something goes bad at work I get on the walkie and say "Curse you Perry the Platypus!"

I'm curious about the live show because the plot is supposed to be about the boys last day of Summer. I personally hope they drop the "summer" theme of the show after a while, there's already been two specials centering on fall months like Christmas and Halloween.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 02-01-2012, 08:10 PM

P&F is one of the only cartoon shows from today that is actually funny in my opinion. Perry is epic. He is what honestly makes the show for me.
