Phineas and Ferb

This is a great show. It's a cartoon about two brothers and what they do over their summer vacation. We aren't talking scouts and basketball here though, these two boys are brilliant engineers in the making and build outrageous creations. Roller coasters, time machines, pet translators are only the tip of the ice burg, a running joke in the show is that the delivery person who delivers the parts they order asks 'Aren't you a little young to be ...' And they always answer, 'Yes, yes I am.'

Phineas and Ferb also have a sister named Candace. All siblings take a perverse pleasure in telling on each other, but Candace takes this to the extreme, especially because her brothers are doing extremely outrageous things. However, she never seems to be quite able to complete this task, because whenever she gets her mother to come see what her brothers have created, it mysteriously disappears.

This brings us to the other portion of the show. Phineas and Ferb have a pet platypus named Perry. Little do they know however, that Perry is a secret agent working for the government! Every day he disappears and gets his mission to go stop the evil Dr. Doofensmirtz from doing... Whatever it is he's doing. As with all evil villains, Doofensmirtz wants to take over the world, or more specifically, the Tri-State area, but he tries to do this in wacky ways, most involving some 'tragic' back story, like how his parents made him be a lawn gnome. He also creates a machine for every episode and ends it with -inator. He also feels it necessary to explain how and why he's doing what he's doing to Perry after he captures him, and if he cannot do that he can't go through with his evil scheme. He's just a really hilarious villain with a chivalrous heart and a burning desire to rule the world because of his past disappointments.

One thing I don't really like about the show is that every episode there is this really bad song scene. I know this is Disney... but that doesn't necessarily mean a requirement for bad music. Other than that however, one of the better shows on tv!
