This was a thought that came to me while I was watching Disney Channel. Think about it.

Kim Possible has Rufus, a naked mole rat, as a Team Pet.

And Phineas and Ferb has Perry the Platypus (bonus points since he's a secret agent.)

Don't forget Doctor Doof and Drakken, both of which are a Card-Carrying Villain

The plots in both are also completely absurd.

They really aren't very comparable beyond how popular they are with multiple demographics and clever writing. They're very different kinds of shows.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I remember reading that some Kim Possible mobile device experience at Disney World was repurposed into a Phineas & Ferb/Agent P one, giving the Bebe bots to Doofenschmirtz and all.

Fuck. NO.

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

Ok, then. Not the response I was expecting.

That's generally the kind of response you'll get when you suggest that two shows are similar because they share a few elements (if you tilt your head and squint).

They're really nothing alike.

Hey, I actually agree. I feel like while not directly influenced, the kind of troperriffic humor Kim Possible had is reminiscent. Course, there's not a great deal of competition considering the lack of tv animated output in Disney.

I treat all living things equally. That is to say, I eat all living things
