'''[[Phineas Flynn]]''' ([[Vincent Martella]]): One of the two titular characters, Linda Flynn's son, Candace's brother, Ferb Fletcher's stepbrother and Lawrence Fletcher's stepson. Phineas is an intelligent, creative boy inspired to make the summer as great as it can be by coming up with ideas for unusual, exciting, and sometimes impossible activities (such as building a Rollercoaster in their backyard). His most important traits are oratory skills, creativity and optimism. He is very polite and is never selfish or rude to anyone. His stepbrother Ferb is his best friend and partner in their activities. He also gets along with his stepfather quite well, calling him "Dad." He loves his sister Candace, yet usually upsets her with his schemes. He has a normal relationship with his mom. He often wonders about the whereabouts of his pet platypus Perry. His catch phrases are, "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" and "Anybody seen Perry?"(or "Hey where's Perry?"). A lot of people ask him if he is too young to be working on his current project to which he almost always responds, "Yes, yes I am." |

Phineas and Ferb is a Disney Channel animated television series that centers on two brothers and their adventures in their backyard during summer vacation. The series premiered worldwide on February 1, 2008. It is also the first DCOS to premiere simultaneously worldwide. The show's official US premiere was marketed as Phineas and Ferb-uary, due to new episodes being shown everyday during the month of February. [1] Many of the show's voice actors also appear on other Disney Channel shows, such as Hannah Montana, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Vincent Martella, the voice of Phineas, co-stars on the show Everybody Hates Chris as Greg on the CW Network.
On April 9, 2008, it was announced that Phineas and Ferb would return for a second season in 2008. [2]
Plot
Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (Thomas Sangster) are two open-minded and kindhearted brothers who live with their older sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale), and Phineas and Candace's mom, Linda (Caroline Rhea) and Ferb's dad Laurence (Richard O'Brien) in the town of Disney Channelville. 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, giving a monkey a shower etc.) in order to make summer more exciting. Their sister, Candace, is aware of their activities and tries to tell their mom so it can be put to an end (mostly out of jealously that she wouldn't be able to get away with the same acts). However, their action are always covered up, due to sub-plot of the family's pet platypus Perry being a secret agent (by the name "Agent P!") that fights an evil scientist called Dr. Doofenschmirtz, by coincidence, leaving behind no evidence of their daily activities. This causes their mother to question Candace's sanity when she tries to prove what her brothers are doing. It is possible that the boys don't care about their actions, as they don't cause harm, since they occasionally ask their mother if she saw their handiwork.
Characters
Phineas Flynn (Vincent Martella): One of the two titular characters, Linda Flynn's son, Candace's brother, Ferb Fletcher's stepbrother and Lawrence Fletcher's stepson. Phineas is an intelligent, creative boy inspired to make the summer as great as it can be by coming up with ideas for unusual, exciting, and sometimes impossible activities (such as building a Rollercoaster in their backyard). His most important traits are oratory skills, creativity and optimism. He is very polite and is never selfish or rude to anyone. His stepbrother Ferb is his best friend and partner in their activities. He also gets along with his stepfather quite well, calling him "Dad." He loves his sister Candace, yet usually upsets her with his schemes. He has a normal relationship with his mom. He often wonders about the whereabouts of his pet platypus Perry. His catch phrases are, "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" and "Anybody seen Perry?"(or "Hey where's Perry?"). A lot of people ask him if he is too young to be working on his current project to which he almost always responds, "Yes, yes I am."
Ferb Fletcher (Thomas Sangster): Ferb is a very intelligent old boy who rarely speaks. He usually has at least one line in every episode. When he does speak he reveals his baritone voice and British accent. Ferb is Lawrence's son, Linda's stepson, and Candace and Phineas's stepbrother. He always helps Phineas with his nearly impossible plans. In the episode "I Scream, You Scream", he is shown to like Vanessa Doofenshmirtz by saying to Phineas "I was weak" when he took the wrong blueprints. He's good at playing the guitar, the keyboard, maracas, tambourine, bass, trumpet, bagpipes, harmonica and the drums.
Candace Flynn (Ashley Tisdale): Candace is a 15-year old teenage girl. She is always aware of all of the boys' plans. Usually she attempts to get the boys in trouble with their mom, but when she gets her mother to see what they are doing they always look perfectly innocent and normal. She has a love interest in Jeremy. She often uses her cell phone and acts much like a stereotypical teenager when not trying to stop her brothers' antics. She is allergic to dairy and wild parsnips, which make her face turn red and puffy. Also, it makes her voice deeper and it makes her sing like a blues singer. She is also terribly afraid of heights. She has a teddy bear named "Mr. Miggins". It is also revealed that she has a "Panic Room" for when she goes crazy. While she is constantly angry at her brothers, there are signs that underneath it all she loves them. Her catch phrases are, "You are so busted." and "Hey, Mom! You really need to see what Phineas and Ferb are doing!" Candace is good at singing and playing a number of instruments, all of which, begin with the letter "B". Her birthday is July 11th. She also had a tree house which Phineas and Ferb remodeled.
Isabella Garcia-Shapiro (Alyson Stoner): Best friend of Phineas and Ferb. She is also the leader of the local Fireside Girls troop. She often assists the boys in their plans, enlisting the whole troop of girls in the process, often for badges or other credits. She is also a big fan of the boys and their plots, particularly Phineas, whom she has a crush on and show feelings for him at times. Phineas apparently does not return the feelings and only views her as a friend. It is unclear whether or not he is aware of her crush and most likely is void of it. Isabella makes no efforts to get Phineas to notice her. She is also seen to have a pet chihuahua named Pinky who temporarily spazzes out as shown in "Journey to the Center of Candace". Her catchphrase is, "Whatchya doing?"
Perry the Platypus (Dee Bradley Baker): He is Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, who, unbeknownst to his owners, lives a double life as a secret agent. He has a lair under the Fletcher's house that can be entered through a lot of passages, like a tree in the backyard the "Chimneyvator", (an elevator inside the chimney), or lots of other places that lead to underground tube systems. His nemesis is "Dr." Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and he is always sent to foil the doctor's plans, which he always successfully accomplishes. A running gag in the show, is that his missions always end up covering evidence of Phineas and Ferb's activities by accident, thus Linda never finds out about the boys' schemes.
Linda Flynn (Caroline Rhea): Mother to Phineas and Candace, stepmother to Ferb Fletcher. She is married to Lawrence Fletcher, but she seems not to use his last name as her cooking teacher called her "Miss Flynn", although in "Candace Loses Her Head" Isabella called her Mrs. Fletcher. She is a regular American mother, although she plays in a free form jazz band with Isabella and Jeremy's mothers, and was once a one hit wonder pop star under the name "Lindana" in the '80s. She is generally busy, or trying to relax, while her daughter tries to get her to see that the boys are up to some crazy plan. Linda seems to think that Candace is crazy and needs professional help. Linda can play the keyboard, the triangle, and the guitar. Her favorite band is Love Handel. Her birthday is June 11th and her anniversary with Lawrence Fletcher is June 15th.
Lawrence Fletcher (Richard O'Brien): Father to Ferb, stepfather to Candace and Phineas. He is generally unaware of any of his kids' plans. He once became aware of one of the their plans, but was okay with it because they were trying to help their sister. He also keeps his treasured memories in a toolbox. His anniversary with Linda Flynn is June 15th. Isabella has only once called him "Mr. Flynn
"Dr." Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire): Mad scientist, comic relief and head of "The Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated". His lair appears to be a standard major corporation, and even has its own new theme song. All his plans tend to be thwarted by Perry The Platypus. The Doctor turned to evil because of his unhappy childhood (celebrating his birthday alone, etc). Now he attempts to wreak havoc across "the entire tri-state area." Dr. Doofenshmirtz is divorced and has a teenage daughter named Vanessa. Like Candace, Vanessa is dedicated to exposing her father's evil schemes to her mother. He is not really a doctor as pointed out by his daughter, as his Doctorate Degree has a $15 price tag on it. His catchphrase is "Curse you, Perry The Platypus!" In the episode "It's About Time", Dr. Doofenshmirtz meets Peter the Panda and makes him his new enemy. After going on a parody of Dr. Phil, Dr. Feelbetter, things are worked out and Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz are enemies again.
Jeremy (Mitchel Musso): Jeremy is the love interest of Candace. Whenever activities are going on in the Fletcher-Flynn house, he goes to visit just to enjoy the activity. In an interview with Mitchel Musso, he revealed that Jeremy returns Candace's feelings for him.
Major Monogram (Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh): He is Perry's superior on a huge screen in his secret hideout (which was shown in one episode to be a warehouse with a screen that appears when he talks to Perry, a camera, and his assistant) and tells Perry if he needs to do anything.
Karl (Tyler Alexander Mann): The person who operates the camera for Perry's secret hideout. He is a bit forgetful and sometimes humiliates the Major, ending up with the usual screen gag. It is revealed once that he is actually an intern.
Stacy Hirano (Kelly Hu): Candace's very enthusiastic best friend. She rarely appears in episodes, but is usually with Candace when something very exciting happens; in "The Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror", she appeared telling Hannah that she could be the most popular kid in the neighborhood for having a backyard beach and that Jeremy was there. She also appears in "Ready for the Bettys", joining Candace on a tour bus with a band called "The Bettys".
Vanessa Doofenshmirtz (Olivia Olson): Dr. Doofenshmirtz's 16-year old teenage daughter. Her dad and mom are divorced, yet her mother still has a good relationship with him thinking he is just a bit eccentric, but Vanessa knows about the original fact that he is the evil head of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, and even about Perry The Platypus, so she constantly tries to demonstrate her mother that her former husband is evil. She is very sarcastic and mild mannered. Her character's relation to her father is similar to that of Candace's relation to Phineas and Ferb. Vanessa tries to prove her mom that Doofenschmirtz is evil, and Candace wants to prove her mom about Phineas and Ferb's schemes. In the episode "I Scream, You Scream", it is revealed that Ferb has a crush on Vanessa.
The Fireside Girls Troop 46321: They are the girl scout group who are guided by Isabella. They like music and never have been seen without a smile on their faces. They usually count on Phineas and Ferb to help get their badges. One's name is Gretchen, as heard in "The Fast and the Phineas".
Buford (Bobby Gaylor): The neighborhood bully. He is tough, yet not. He likes tough stuff, but is afraid of the most trivial things, as shown in "Raging Bully," in which ice-cream falls on his pants and he screams, and in "Get that Bigfoot Outa My Face," in which he became afraid when he was told about Bigfoot (by Phineas).
Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy): He is a foreign child (most likely from India's Punjab region, judging by his name) who is often portrayed as weak and scared, especially around Buford. He did do something interesting in the episode "Jerk De Soleil" (creating the second illusion that he had pulled his thumb off of his hand).
Charlene Doofenshmirtz (Allison Janney): Doofenshmirtz's ex-wife although she still seems to like Doofenshmirtz a little. She is in the same cooking class as Linda Flynn. Her daughter, Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, tries to show her that her ex-husband, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, is evil and fights against a secret agent platypus named Agent P. Charlene is friends with Linda. Charlene seems to think that Vanessa is crazy and needs professional help.
Grandma Betty Jo and Grandpa Clyde (Caroline Rhea and Barry Bostwick): The Flynn-Fletcher kids' maternal grandparents (they appear in the episode "Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face!" and "The Ballad of Badbeard"). They are old, evidently, and they invite the Flynn-Fletchers and the neighborhood kids to a lake house every summer. Though they are old, they sometimes like to get the best of the kids. The names come from the creator "Swampy"'s great Aunt & Uncle.

- In the episode "The Fast and the Phineas", Phineas and Ferb race car #42. This is a possible reference to Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and in NASCAR Sprint Cup in 2007, Juan Pablo Montoya driving the #42 car as well, won the Dodge/Save Mart 350 in his rookie year, as Phineas did in the race. Swampy Marsh is a big fan of Juan Pablo Montoya.
- In the episode "Rollercoaster", Candace mentions that Jeremy works at Mr. Slushy Burger, but in later episodes is shown at Mr. Slushy Dawg. Afterwards, it was changed back to Mr. Slushy Burger.
- In the episode "Raging Bully", Ferb beats Buford (the bully) by using the Vulcan nerve pinch from Star Trek
- On February 29, the episode they advertised as the last in the marathon was Journey to the Center of Candace, but when it premiered on Disney Channel East it was "Mom's Birthday" although the credits were those of Journey to the Center of Candace (after the show Journey to the Center of Candace could be seen on Disney XD online). On Disney Channel West it was Journey to the Center of Candace, however.
- In the episode Are You My Mummy, when Candace was in the elevator you can hear the song "I'm Lindonna And I Wanna Have Fun" mentioned in Flop Stars as elevator music.
- In the episode Greece Lightning, the song Phineas and Ferb wrote in Flop Starz was heard inside the theater (which was apparently Doofenshmirtz's hideout for that episode).
- Linda plays in a jazz band with women whose children have crushes on her son and daughter.
- On the episode, It's About Time!, Dr. Feelbetter is an obvious play on Dr. Phil and other daytime talk shows. Also, when Dr. Doofenshmirtz locks all of the secret agents to there seats, one secret agent is not locked up. Also,when they say that Phineas mispelled "Time" to "Tie", he really spelled it right.
- In the episode Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together the drummer from Love Handel was named Swampy after the shows creator. The singer Danny was named after the other shows creator and Bobby was named after Bobby Gaylor, one of the writers and the voice of Buford.
- On the episodes Jerk de Soleil, Candace is laying in bed with her regular clothes on, but when she gets out of bed, she has on pajamas.
- In the episode Dude We're Getting the Band Back Together Lawrence says it is Thursday But when Candace comes out she shows their anniversary on a Tuesday from her calendar.
- In the episode Toy to the World it shows that Ferb is left-handed.
- In "Toy to the World", it is said the Perry the Platypus is a marsupial, but he is actually one of two monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.
- Also note a music video including four songs aired on Disney Channel on March 7, 2008.
- The song 'The Moments When We Didn't Get Along' was originally going to be a bit longer, but the writers cut one of the verses to save time.
- The googolplex mall is named after a large number
- In Dude We're Getting The Band Back Together, you can see Candace hugging Phineas. But yet in the scene directly after that, they're no longer hugging. Another interesting point is when Ferb's playing with the lights, Phineas acts like he doesn't even know who Ferb is....
- In Toy to the World Phineas is also seen left-handed
- In Jerk de Soleil" Phineas and Ferbs parents are recording a soundtrack. When Candace races to them and then comes back to their house they do a close-up on Jermy and her dad is sitting beside him. Then at the and of the episode, he comes back home with Linda.
- In "Candace looses her head" Isabella is seen calling Linda Mrs.Fletcher indicating that that's her title.
- In " Get that Bigfoot Outta my Face", when Dr. Doofenshmirtz's date arrives she rings the doorbell, which is actually the "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!!" jingle.
