Phineas and Ferb

My kids recently started watching "Phineas and Ferb" on the Disney Channel. Now, normally I wouldn't blog about a kids show on Disney, but this is no ordinary kids show...it's HILARIOUS!!! I look forward to it almost as much as my kids.

The premise is two brothers, Phineas and Ferb, set out to do something new and unique every day during summer vacation. They do everything in their backyard. From building a monster truck rally to help their sister Candace learn to drive, to a giant car wash as a fund raiser to save the Star Nose mole, the boys really do it all.

Adding to the show is the secondary story of their pet Platypus, Perry. Perry is also Secret Agent P, who battles the evil, yet laugh out loud funny, Dr. Doofenshmirtz every episode. Perry disappears and defeats Doofenshmirtz's evil plan of the day, then returns to the boys.

Other characters are Candace, their big sister, who is the only one who knows what Phineas and Ferb really do every day, and she tries to get them in trouble for it. Their extremely busy mom, and their British dad...which leads to lots of funny jokes as well.

This video is from an episode where the boys set out to get a #1 song...and they manage it by noon. Warning!!! This song will be stuck in your head after you hear it. Now you've been warned.

I had an opportunity to watch this show with my kids on vacation. What a riot! It ranks up there with Curious George, The Backyardigans and Wishbone. All shows that make you think.

This is a hilarious show. The creators of this show are geniuses.

"Mom, Dad's watching Phineas and Ferb again!!!" (You'll get that if you've watched the show enough times.)

I had to laugh when I read this. Dave is always disappointed when it comes on and Madeleine has no interest in watching it at all.
