You can watch it with kids but don’t have to
I have to watch a lot of kid TV and much of it is dreadful. If I ever see Captain Feathersword of the Wiggles in person, I’m going to punch him in the crotch with no hesitation. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Phineas and Ferb has improved my quality of life, and not just because the show features a platypus secret agent. Here are the top five reasons why you should watch it:
The cast:
Phineas is voiced by Vincent Martella, Greg from Everybody Hates Chris.
Candace is voiced by Ashley Tisdale, that chick from a lot of teen stuff. I haven’t really seen her other work, but she can really sing.
Mom is voiced by Caroline Rhea- she’s done lots of cool stuff including Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
There are plenty of other cool people in the cast, but my favorite is the voice of Dad. It’s Richard O’Brien, writer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (he also played Riff Raff in the film adaptation). If that’s not cool as hell, I don’t know what is.
Phineas and Ferb has great music, running jokes and catch phrases. It’s a show you can enjoy alone or with the nearest four-year-old. It’s the kind of animated series that only comes around once a decade. No matter your breeding status, you should check it out.
You have a limited amount of time, so why spend it reading about things that suck or are only kind of okay? Favorite thing EVER is not a review site. We're unrepentant fans, and this is the stuff we love. Hope you like gushing, because we're about to embarrass ourselves.
Yesssss Phineas and Ferb rule! My little sister and her husband bought themselves the first season on DVD and watch it after they put their daughter to bed.
It looks right up our ally! Ah, fun animation – thanks for taking the time to treat children as people!
It’s surprisingly clever and truly entertaining.
Also, that kid’s head is really triangular.
