I will admit that I was a little skeptical when the Disney channel came out with the show Phineas and Ferb. When it first started airing my girls begged to watch it, they had seen it advertised on another show. So, I gave in and let them watch. Each time I watched the show I enjoyed it more and more. Until I can now say that I am fan.

Phineas and Ferb can be seen on both Disney Channel and Disney XD. Check your local listings for days and times it is showing in your area.

Phineas and Ferb is an animated show that features the adventures of two stepbrothers as they try and fill their summer vacation with fun adventures. The two geniuses can often be found building one huge thing and then another. In one episode they built a roller coater in their backyard, other episodes features them making a movie, a race car, turning their backyard into a beach, and many more.

The show also features a subplot involving the brothers older sister, Candace. Candace spends each episode trying to get her brothers busted by revealing their plots to their mother. She inevitably fails each and every time, as her mother is always a second too late to catch the boys in the middle of their adventures.

The show also features another plot line consisting of the boys' pet platypus named Perry. Perry is really secret “Agent P” that has to foil the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plans to take over teh "tri-state area.
While foiling Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plans something usually happens that will then help erase all traces of what Phineas and Ferb have been up to.

While Phineas and Ferb is not an educational show you can do as we do sometimes, and look up whatever project Phineas and Ferb have created online. We then find out how those things are actually created and learn about the entire process. Some times we take a few days while other times it's less than an hour.

All in all Phineas and Ferb is a cute show that gets kids using their imaginations.
