15	''Phineas and Ferb'' is a Creator/DisneyChannel animated series co-created by Creator/DanPovenmire and Creator/JeffSwampyMarsh. The show premiered on Disney Channel on August 17, 2007. It would also air on Creator/DisneyXD when the network debuted on February 13, 2009.

17	Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher are two open-minded and kind-hearted stepbrothers who live in the town of Danville. Their family consists of their older sister Candace, Linda (Phineas and Candace's mom), Lawrence (Ferb's dad) and their pet platypus Perry. Phineas is ridiculously smart and full of energy; Ferb is equally smart, although he's [[TheSilentBob a little bit more quiet]]. Oh, and Perry is a secret agent for an international organization of animal super spies, but that's neither here nor there.
18
19	The brothers find themselves dissatisfied with just spending their summer vacation outside of school, so they pull off unbelievable and often outlandish stunts (visiting the moon, building a roller coaster, entering a race car competition, rediscovering the dodo bird, [[OpeningShoutOut giving a monkey a shower]], etc.) in order to make summer more exciting. They do a bit of charity whenever they can, and often even manage to make their school's resident bully and his victim work together. But don't worry -- the show never gets preachy. [[AwesomeMusic/PhineasAndFerb It just has really cool songs instead.]]
20
21	Candace hates the fact that her brothers can get away with ''[[KarmaHoudini anything]]''. So OnceAnEpisode, she tries to tell their mom about what the boys have been up to. However, their actions are always covered up just in time, often due to Perry's battles against the local MadScientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz, whose inventions have a tendency by sheer coincidence to erase all evidence of whatever the boys have built. This not only causes their mother to question Candace's sanity every time, but also [[StatusQuoIsGod neatly ensures the continuity of the series]].
22
23	Co-creator Dan Povenmire had been pitching early versions of this show even before joining the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' crew, where he storyboarded and directed the first three "Road to..." episodes. Its fresh take on summer vacation stories, along with its numerous string of {{running gag}}s, clever writing, and at least one new musical number per episode, has made the show Disney Channel's most successful original animated series of all time. It was one of the few Disney animated series to hit the 100-episode mark.
24
25	In May 2015, the creators announced that production on the show had ended, with the {{series finale}}, titled "Last Day of Summer", airing on June 12, 2015 and wrapping up an ''eight''-year run; making it the second longest-running animated series in Disney history.[[note]]Surpassed only by ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' at ten years.[[/note]] A stand-alone special, "The O.W.C.A. Files.", premiered on November 9, later that year. Following this, the crew moved on to work on ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'', which premiered on October 3rd, 2016. ''Milo's'' second season premiere, "[[Recap/MiloMurphysLawS2E01ThePhineasAndFerbEffect The Phineas and Ferb Effect]]", is a crossover episode between the two shows. Dr. Doofenshmirtz would join ''Milo's'' main cast for the remainder of the season, with various other ''Phineas'' characters, especially Perry, making guest appearances.
26
27	On January 13, 2023, [[https://twitter.com/disneybrandtvpr/status/1613955871121510400 Dan Povenmire announced two new seasons]] of the series, consisting of 40 episodes.
28
29	Interestingly enough, the series is connected to the Franchise/DisneyChannelLiveActionUniverse through a series of convoluted crossovers, but was never officially linked to the DCLAU.
