Phineas and Ferb (2007)
Unique show, could be considered one of the best of this generation
While the songs were excellent and the episodes were great, those aren't the qualities that make Phineas and Ferb such an awesome show. What I love about this show is the message. I appreciate that the creators centered this series on the theme of carpe diem, and the kids made the most of every day of the summer that they had. Along with that, I also like the characters, especially the kids, as they are very likable. It's cool to see the kids reach for the stars every day, and set a good message to people watching. You never see the kids being mean, disrespecting their parents or anything.
I truly believe this show stands out based on those qualities alone. There are plenty of funny shows out there, but there aren't many shows, especially cartoons, that are as wholesome as Phineas and Ferb. A lot of cartoons rely on stupid, childish humor to make people laugh, and this show doesn't. It's jokes are funny, to kids and parents alike.
Overall, Phineas and Ferb is a fantastic show, and has that 'Disney Magic'. Definitely will tune in if it's on.
Phineas and Ferb: Last Day of Summer (2015)
Funny storyline, whole episode could've been better
I loved the episode in terms of the storyline, as Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time. This episode was easily the funniest episode of the show for me. However, I kind of expected the creators to go all in for this episode, something along the lines of Summer Belongs to You. I thought the songs in that episode were fantastic, and the plot was great. However, with this episode, the songs were below average. Normally in Phineas and Ferb special episodes, there is one song that is, for lack of a better word, remembered more than other ones, such as the song Summer Belongs to You. In this episode however, a lot of the songs were solid, but not spectacular.
Overall, it was a good episode and I'm glad the creators used the Groundhog Day plot. However, this episode felt like a typical day in the summer for Phineas and Ferb. I thought an episode like Summer Belongs to You would've been a much better series finale due to it being a more complete episode. Other than that, the episode is definitely worth a watch to bid adieu to one of the better shows of this generation.
