If you're looking for a little silly fun, tune into Phineas and Ferb. Did I mention that just about every episode includes some sort of musical number? There are lots of laughs along the way, with some bizarrely funny lines ("How big was the monster, grandpa?" "Larger than a refrigerator, but not as large as a really big refrigerator") and the sort of wild creations that certainly appeal to kids. Almost every episode follows the same formula (and even has several lines repeated all the time), and the animation style is very simple. Heinz Doofenschmirtz (Dan Povenmire), who's usually out to either get rid of what he hates or conquer "the entire tri-state area!" And somehow in the process of stopping Doofenschmirtz, Perry manages to get rid of whatever Phineas and Ferb had done. When no one's looking, Perry puts on a hat and becomes Agent P, a secret agent always assigned to stop mad scientist Dr. The boys have a pet platypus named Perry, who doesn't do much except occasionally chatter his teeth - while they're watching. However, no matter what Phineas and Ferb come up with, it's always gone before Mom shows up - because of a platypus. Their teenage sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale, of High School Musical fame) is obsessed with busting her brothers (when not swooning over Jeremy (Mitchel Musso), a teenage boy) to Mom (Caroline Rhea). Red-haired, pointy-nosed Phineas (Vincent Martella) and his tall, mostly silent stepbrother Ferb (Thomas Sangster) spend each summer day coming up with new things to do, from forming a one-hit-wonder band to making the coolest roller coaster ever. This is the world of Phineas and Ferb, a cute cartoon directly aimed at kids. Ah, lazy summer days, when two kids can create cold fusion machines, travel through time, and build massive inventions in an afternoon.
