Why It’s Gonna Do It All

1. Awesome theme song.
2. Promotes creativity with all of the interesting creations made in the show.
3. Very likable and relatable characters.
   • Phineas and Ferb themselves are the young inventors; Phineas is the optimistic one and Ferb is the mysterious, quiet one.
   • Candace is the high strung sister who has an obsession with busting the boys, though she shows signs that really does care about them.
   • Isabella is the cute little girl who has a secret crush on Phineas, and her catchphrase "Whatcha doin?" is cute and memorable.
   • Perry the Platypus is an awesome character, and his "Agent P" theme song is incredibly catchy.
   • Doofenshmirtz is a hilarious antagonist, but also has good intentions like caring for his daughter and even has an F in evil.
   • Baljeet is the studious nerd who loves math.
   • Buford is a bully with a surprisingly good heart.
4. The episodes have 2 plots in one (one involving Phineas and Ferb, and the other involving Perry the Platypus).
5. A lot of action going on.
6. Awesome musical numbers.
7. Excellent and great animation that improves with each season.
8. The voice acting is great, especially Vincent Martella, Ashley Tisdale, Alyson Stoner, and Dan Povenmire.
9. There are tons of hilarious and creative running gags.
   1. Doofenshmirtz saying "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" almost every time he’s been defeated.
   2. Candace trying to get her brothers busted and always failing.
   3. Someone saying "Hey, where's Perry?", then cutting to Perry going to his secret spy organization.
   4. Dooofenshmirtz’s "-inators" always failing because of Agent P.
   5. Phineas and Ferb’s activities always disappearing because of Doofenshmirtz and Agent P’s side of the story.
   6. Doofenshmirtz having a back story for each of his "-inators".
   7. A woman saying “Do you think (blank) is just gonna fall from the sky, and then one of their inventions falls from the sky.
10. The show spawned a TV-movie “Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension” and a Disney+ original movie “Phineas and Ferb: Candace Against the Universe”, which are very enjoyable to watch and stay true to the series.
11. There is an upcoming revival with two seasons which will be released, starting in 2024.
12. Unlike another Disney show, this one revolves around a formulaic plot that surprisingly manages to be well executed.
13. Many memorable and great episodes:
    • "Rollercoaster" (which began the series on a high note)
    • "The Fast and the Phineas"
    • "Flop Starz" (the episode that officially introduced the series' musical genre)
    • "Tree to Get Ready"
    • "Got Game?"
    • "Out of Toon" and "Hail Doofania" (both of which finished season 1 on a high note in production order)
    • "Gaming the System"
    • "The Chronicles of Meap"
    • "Hide and Seek"
    • "Isabella and the Temple of Sap"
    • "Summer Belongs to You"
    • "Wizard of Odd"
    • "The Great Indoors" (pretty good way to start season 3 on a high note)
    • "Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama"
    • "Moon Farm"
    • "Ask a Foolish Question"
    • "Happy New Year!" (Which began season 4 on a high note)
    • "Bee Story"
    • "Act Your Age"
    • "Last Day of Summer" and "O.W.C.A. Files"
14. The series even had a crossover with both Marvel and Star Wars. How awesome was that?!
15. The series also had a decent spin-off titled "Take Two with Phineas and Ferb", which had Phineas and Ferb talk to live actors, even though the animation (depending on your opinion) isn’t as great as the original series.

Bad Qualities

1. "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!", "Candace Gets Busted" (which was a sour way to end season 2) and "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Ousbourne" (mostly due to the flash animation) are the worst episodes of the series.
   • Also, "Interview with a Platypus" (depending on your view), "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", "Nerds of a Feather" and "She's the Mayor" can be considered mediocre at best and average or pretty bad at worst.
   • I, Brobot is considered to be a bad episode, due to how scary the Brobots (Phinedroids and Ferbots) look even the Candroid in the credits, Hell it can even give kids nightmares.
2. Suzy and Doofenshmirtz’s parents are the only truly hateable characters in the show.
3. Some of the songs are not good, though fortunately there aren't any terrible or even bad songs in the show, just some that are mediocre.
5. Although the animation is amazing, Season 1’s animation can look uncanny at times due to the amount of freedom it had (especially in The Ballad of Badbeard).
6. The pacing is not the greatest here (each joke and event goes by too fast for you to think).
7. Sometimes Phineas may get mad at people, which is very out of character for him. He yells at Ben Baxter in Flop Starz although, it was part of the plan (his Diva Tantrum thing) He screams at GET ON THE TRIKE!!! Candace in Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You, and he yells at Candace for turning Baljeet into Hulk and throws her outta S.H.E.D..

Trivia

• Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh had previously pitched the idea for the show to Nickelodeon, however, it was rejected by Nickelodeon's top brass.
• This is the longest Disney show that is not on Disney Junior, having run for eight years, a record formerly held by Kim Possible.
• Due to the fact that Mitchel Musso on October 17, 2011, was arrested for driving at high speed and under the influence of alcohol, he received harsh sanctions from Disney, being fired from Pair of Kings, that the PrankStars program where he was a driver was canceled, and that his Phineas and Ferb character, Jeremy had less prominence or appearances from the third season.

• Due to the reception of the first two seasons, from 2010 to 2012 around three DeviantArt users created 5 Phineas and Ferb fanfictions, these comics were also very popular within the Latin American fandom, however many Phineas and Ferb fans, questioned its existence because the comics ignored the story of the third season, fourth season and the movie Across the 2nd Dimension.
  • These comics were:
    • The first is called "La Pajamada" where Phineas and Ferb as teenagers have a pajama party, where Isabela kisses Phineas
    • The second is called "La Boda Imposible" where Phineas becomes Isabela's boyfriend while they prepare Candace's wedding with Jeremy, and they must face Susy who wants to ruin the wedding.
    • The third is called "Chaos in Time" where Phineas and Isabela's daughter named Marie travels back in time, causing a paradox that causes a change in the Future and now with the help of Thomas, the son of Ferb and Vanesa, she must repair the future.

    • Currently, the fanfiction "Chaos in Time" and "Listen to your heart" are unfinished or so far have no end.

    • At the same time, several Ship of Marie and Thomas fans spammed the official Phineas and Ferb pages, as an expression of anger to the episode "Act Your Age", on the other hand, Angelus19 had several problems due to these actions taken by his followers, at the same time they branded him a hypocrite after discovering that he criticized Milo Murphy's Law, or Hamster and Gretel in disgust.
  • There was an incident on twitter in 2021 where an artist was spamming everywhere to promote his oc Miguella, the user has since deleted all his spam tweets.
