Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb, produced by Walt Disney Company

Plot: Phineas and his stepbrother, Ferb, want to experience the ultimate summer vacation. To accomplish their goal, they plan elaborate adventures and create unbelievable inventions. However, their older sister, Candace, is determined to expose their behavior to their mother. Meanwhile, Perry, the boys' pet platypus, works as a secret agent to stop the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz from causing havoc. The climax of the Dr. and platypus' fights inevitably prevent Candace from busting the boys, leaving her stunned and stuttering at the end of every episode.

Genre: Cartoon

Reading Level: Rated G

Similar Titles: Spongebob Squarepants, Penguins of Madagascar

Personal Thoughts: While some reviewers complain about the show's repetitive nature, most viewers easily understand the cartoon's appeal. It is just a goofy, over-the-top, funny show. It does not try to take itself seriously. It does not discuss the horrors of being a tween or teen. It does not try to teach kids trivia. It simply focuses on entertaining its audience, and it does so very well.

P.S. Dreamworks dragon does not approve of your viewing of Disney Channel shows (you can just barely see him glaring at you over the computer screen).
