Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Phineas and Ferb is an animated series which started in 2007. 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 Perry the Platypus. Phineas is ridiculously smart and full of energy; Ferb is exactly as smart, although he's a little bit more quiet. Oh, and Perry is a secret agent for an international organization of super spies, but that's neither here nor there.

The brothers find themselves dissatisfied with just spending their summer vacation outside of school, so they pull off unbelievable and often outlandish stunts (i.e. visiting the moon, building a roller coaster, entering a race car competition, rediscovering the dodo bird, 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. It just has really cool songs instead.

Candace hates the fact that her brothers can get away with anything. So Once an Episode, 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 fighting an evil scientist named Dr. Doofenshmirtz, whose inventions have a tendency by sheer coincidence always erase whatever the boys built. This not only causes their mother to question Candace's sanity every time, but also neatly ensures the continuity of the series.

Dan Povenmire had been pitching early versions of this show even before joining the Family Guy crew, where he wrote and directed the first Road To episodes. Its fresh take on summer vacation stories, along with its numerous string of running gags, 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.
