Phineas and Ferb
 

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.

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.

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 ****.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

One of the best cartoons ever . :)

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.

hmm, maybe I'll check this show out.

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.

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.

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.:tcool:

A new look at Phineas and Ferb's blockbuster summer marvel crossover special

http://www.usatoday.com/videos/life/2013/06/06/2396089/

I love(d) PandF but honestly lately, like after the movie, it really went down imo.

Its hard to explain but it turned into the same type of humor alot of other shows do...the outrageously random and absurd = funny.

I thought the movie was fantastic but the show has lost alot of its cleverness to me.

Now its the same cliches of this era that just isn't funny anymore. Maybe to kids.

I used to like Phineas and Ferb, but now it's just way too repetitive and boring IMO. I also find the parts with Perry and Doof to be pretty stupid, predictable and really just not that funny. I think they're running out of ideas by now.

I really have to agree. I've heard there's a theatrical movie in the works and I think they're saving all their big creative juices for that one. The 2nd Dimension movie really proved the show had a ridgid status quoe with the reset button being hit. I think some of us were ready for some arc development around then.

These days, I've only tuned in for the Meep episodes.

So um...basically the cast of Avengers Assemble and Ult Spider-Man meet some oddly shaped Disney characters and fight that villain squad that was started in Avengers Assemble. I think I'll root for the villains as I feel sorry for them.

Forgot to mention that on the IMDB board I read Phineas and Ferb was meant to come out in the 90s. It was pitched around, even to Nick I think, but never got picked up. I don't have a link. Someone posted this quite awhile ago.

I bring it up because it really does seem like a 90s cartoon and alot of people think its one of the best of this era.

IMDB? I wouldn't trust them.

^ It was some article I think, not just a user comment.

Besides literally every show, movie, actor, etc has their own dedicated board. Which is quite nice. Obviously not every statement is true but that could be said about the internet as a whole. I think the good out weighs the bad on IMDB.

Ok so this summer (has the ep aired yet?) Phineas and Ferb meet the Avengers. Next summer? Star Wars crossover! *lol* I guess Disney is making Phineas and Ferb the link between the genres they purchase. And the plot of the crossover seems to be set during episode 4.

I could get behind this. Phineas and Ferb is a great show and the writing is always top notch. Plus who doesn't love Perry?

You know what the world needs? More referential Star Wars crossover parodies.

I've loved this show forever, yah after the film does feel like its lost its touch a bit, now I mostly watch for the Phinabella hints as I'm a real big fan of that pairing and am counting down to the days till they get together, which is most likely in the final film, that's always the case with the most popular pairings.

Though, I admit I am looking forward to the film and the Star Wars crossover special, I think the film will be like Rodger Rabbit a bit. Hey, I have a feeling they are going to make a spin off where they can crossover all kinds of shows with Phineas and Ferb, or save the world type since they've been doing that a lot as of late.

ditto from me as well

Just a heads up that the Avengers crossover special will air NEXT Friday (Aug 16th) at 8pm on Disney channel.

i'll have my DVR set

I LOVE P&F! It harks back to Disney's golden days, with Disney Afternoon, I think. Ok, not *quite* the same thing, but it has the action and adventure. It has the wit and adult humour to balance it out. It has fairly decent animation too.
It is pretty consistent, has great music, and actually is mildly educational lol.

I can't wait for the Marvel and Star Wars crossovers either!!! So cool!!

Here's me meeting P&F, and Agent P at Disney :D

so i finally watched the P&F movie last night, and i liked it

That was actually a really good special

This. SW has enough parodies.

I've been trying to get some info on plans for the show past the Star Wars special, and I found, in an article on Toon Zone posted back in February that initially reported it had been 'quietly cancelled', that the show has simply gone on a production hiatus. The theatrical movie has also been shelved
