Well the thing is the bigges thsow they were hinting at carrying on well past its welcome is Spongebob, which is Viacom's MIckey Mouse. But guess what, the parent company of PHineas and Ferb already has their own Mickey Mosue...and he is the original, although the newer cartoons are influenced by that yellow kitchen sponge thing that does not resemble a sea sponge, but still, Mickey Mouse is actually fun tow atch.
Swampy saw what happened to SpongeBob and Family Guy, he and Dan knew of the outcome if they kept continuing Phineas and Ferb. Also, views dropped immensly during mid season 4; the early season 4 episodes had millions of viewers, but the mid season 4 episodes and beyond eventually dropped from millions to less than 500,000 viewers. All good things must come to an end.
This is actually the very first series finale to a cartoon I've seen, so it holds a special place in my heart. Sure, it doesn't really feel like a finale for the majority of the episode, but I still love it either way.
I think the brilliance of Phineas and Ferb is that for a kid's show it actually has a pretty intelligent sense of humor. The adults can genuinely enjoy it as much as the kids do without the show getting dirty. I'm 25 now and I still love this show dearly because it continues to make me laugh to this day.
Rewatching the series last year made me realize just how melancholy the finale felt compared to the end of Rollercoaster the Musical in season 2, which was way more lively and epic. Weird
Oh for sure! There were so many Phineas and Ferb episodes that felt like they could be the finale! It makes sense that the actual finale was smaller-scale and character focused
@@MiloMurphysLaw I do think it would fit the concept of a repeating daily routine like in the actual finale. Obviously it would require some changes but I think it COULD work.
When I watched Phineas and Ferb: Candace against the Universe I was so happy that even tho the show ended they were still able to bring a movie 8 years later hope they do it again with another show like Milo Murphy's Law
I'm pretty sure Watterson chose to end the strip at 10 years, and if the execs had their way it'd probably still be running. In other words, you're right.
Fox is stupid it dropped king of the hill a show that was great and needed a good ending for another family guy clone that lasted 5 years compared to a 20 year old run show that was 100x better than those shows
I would love it if Disney made Phineas & Ferb specials every now and then for Disney+. They don't have to be big movies or anything--just nice projects to keep the franchise alive.
@@The2ndDimension I don’t even think we need 1 a year. We just need a few to fully wrap up all the loose ends. Like a special to conclude what happened after the end of Tales From the Resistance, and a special showing Doof (and Perry) working on trying to invent time travel after the end of MML season 2 with Cavendish and Dakota as the B-plot. And I also think it would be kinda cool to see a crossover with The Simpsons for multiple reasons. P&F and The Simpsons have both had crossovers with Marvel and Star Wars, and I think it would make perfect sense for Disney Channel’s longest running cartoon to crossover with Fox’s longest running cartoon. Plus, Dan and Swampy met when they were working on The Simpsons, so it would be really cool for the show that they eventually ended up co-creating to crossover with the the show they were working on when they first met.
That would be my ideal scenario. The series was great in my book right till the end, but you could tell that the gears wanted to shift. For a show that played the formula so masterfully like PnF, I think changing to a new status quo would make it a different show. The Specials however where a real highlight, since they allowed the characters to be put in new situations naturally without breaking the main series. Day of The Living Pharmacist and the Star Wars Special where amazing in particular, and it was fun to see the characters in darker stories than usual.
I would kill for another pass at Doof 101 (you know something small like a carrot). It was such a natural progression of everyone's characters, especially Heinz, to go into a new environment with with new adventures. Also the theme song was a bop. Alas one can only dream
Really, Phineas and Ferb's ending was amazing. But after everything, it's extremely sad. You're right about Act your age being the emotional ending. But in the Last Day Of Summer, I liked reviewing how much the characters have grown, and I think that in Quantum Boogaloo, it's really great that Isabella knows she'll marry Phineas, because it's the ending she always wanted, and the fact that Candace stops obsessing over her brothers means it's a happy ending for everyone. It would be epic if they made an episode that takes place after Act your Age and shows what happens with Phineas And Isabella at TriState State. Also an episode explaining how tf Ferb pulled a girl 6 years older than him lmfao. More Doof 101 would be great. That's just what I think personally.
I agree that Ferb hooking up with Vanessa was just plain odd. I mean at least their relationship is pure and not just him wanting to do the nasty with her but COME ON! 😂
Underrated channel holy! insane quality video for a sub 50k channel I would only expect this quality from a channel of twice your size or even more. Great work man keep at it you're going to make it
Thanks so much for the shoutout, and glad to see my feedback was helpful! It's so fascinating to see how this series continues to live on in unique ways over five years after its official end. Who knows what's next? Excited for us to find out!
This series is unforgettable. It took about sixteen years to get it on the air in the first place, and then it had an amazing run. I believe that it ended in the best way possible (although it can definitely shape up to the Ed, Edd, n Eddy finale),
Phineas and Ferb was lucky it lasted longer as it did. Now all Disney's animated shows last 3 seasons. And mostly all of them are all story driven arc shows.
@@The2ndDimension I’m honestly split, it could make it because Disney is in need of a flag ship show and amphibia and the owl house are closing, but I just don’t think the interest is there, Phineas and Ferb, Kim Possible, and Star vs. to a lesser extent got lots of mouth service, no one at my school or the cartoon community talks about big city greens, great video btw
I would greenlight MML for a 3rd season so it could finish its story, complete with another Phineas and Ferb crossover, and then greenlit the shelved Phineas and Ferb film the crew was working on before CATU as the 3rd movie with the franchise continuing to release more films and specials afterwards every few years or so.
I want a proper sequel to Across The Second Dimension, with an older (after Act Your Age) Phineas And Ferb suddenly remembering the events of the first movie and going on a multiversal adventure. This would fill up the loose ends set up by the Across The Second Dimension sequel episode and could have cameo appearances of the dimensions of other Disney shows such as The Owl House and Amphibia, and setting up a Disney TV Multiverse.
God, this show meant so much to me. I can't even put it into words. I watched *every* episode the day they came out (or the day they leaked). Long after all of my peers had lost interest, I was shamelessly watching it all the way to late middle school when it ended. I'm glad it ended when it did - I think it was definitely running out of steam - but the absolute HYPE from that opening 'Ferbruary' launch has never left my soul and never will.
I'm turning 60 next month and I am a fervent fan. When I was teaching, I would blast the series theme song out of my car as I drove off the lot on the last day of every school year.
The merch issue seems to be what's going on with Owl House and Amphibia [and somehow, Star Vs, despite how I think that's well after 65..]. No merch despite the popularity, no expansions to 65 episodes [especially for Owl House], it's odd.
@@generalobi3669 I'm not familiar with Amphibia but have heard of it but I do feel a bit sad about The Owl House. Feels like they have to rush the story but I feel like we kind of know the outcome. Luz will go home and either she'll be stuck there or she'll have some portal that will let her go back and forth between the realms. I am wondering if Amity will probably the human world at some point as there has been what I am guessing is foreshadowing?
In 20 years time, hope Phineas and Ferb came out again for a speech like Steve from Blue's clues, to talk about how being an adult is great and its okay to be creative That would hit us in the feels so hard
Phineas and ferb helped me through my life. When i stressed, i would always watch it to calm myself down. Phinead and ferb helped me so much and i am so grateful
I wish P&F renewed for Season 5, but I'm really glad they got a new movie called Candace Against the Universe 5 years after the show ended. I'm hoping that a 3rd movie is still in development.
Who started crying when they saw all the characters growing up and the special thanking us for the journey and all we have supported them to the end of the journey. I love Phineas And Ferb.
I think at this point i’ve had my fill on standard 11 minute Phineas and Ferb episodes. As much as I love season 4 by the end to me it felt like the writers were going through burnout in terms of having to keep coming up with imaginative fun stuff for the kids to build. I think movies are the way to go when it comes to continuing Phineas and Ferb (so long as they have better animation consistency). I don’t think the show could really go back to its classic formula (especially when season 4 was a huge deviation from that in its second half) so huge adventures with big action set pieces that also act as an in-depth analysis of the series iconic characters is the way to go. Ideally i’d like to see a new Disney+ original Phineas and Ferb movie every 2-3 years. Maybe also do a 40 minute Christmas special. Just give us a new Phineas and Ferb project every few years that keeps the franchise alive and relevant while not interfering with Dan and Swampy’s other projects. Also obviously bring back Milo Murphy’s Law to give it some sort of ending but that’s gonna be a challenge.
Exactly. Nearing the end of season 4, they just started doing straight up crossovers. There isn't really a need for more of this show since it was running out of ideas when it was still airing.
6:50 also, this is just more proof that Disney would have greenlit the show for season 5 if Dan and Swampy hadn’t decided that they wanted to give the show a proper conclusion. For some reason a lot of people don’t believe me when I tell them that and they still think that Disney canceled the show even though Dan and Swampy wanted to do more. But in reality it was the exact opposite of that.
@@lukebytes5366 or when a show actually is canceled but then people claim that it was because the creators decided to randomly end it *without a conclusion.*
this show was actually my one and only childhood entertainment. when i was kid my mom made a strict rule to only be able watch tv for one hour so we won't binge watching tv. and luckily, every weekdays disney put 2 shows (1 show for 30 minute. this is how it worked in my country) i realllyyy love it and it brings so much sentimental memories because every song had one exact moment that linked to my childhood memory. and when the show ended i was crying like crazy because i feel like my childhood really was over that day. i will never ever ever forget this show
I'm honestly surprised that the show that broke the rule was Kim Possible and not Phineas and Ferb. Now I'm not even surprised people barely supported Wander over Yonder
Actually That's So Raven was the first to break the 65 episode rule, with season 3 having 35 episodes and surpassing 78 episodes. It's sad how people don't acknowledge how it made history
@@Bearsbeets.battlestargalactica it doesn't matter what audience it catered to. As a full show, it accomplished that record in terms of live action. Phineas and Ferb was the first ANIMATED show to do it. Doesn't matter that P&F had a wider audience.
One movie idea I have for them would to make a Ferb movie. Because we’ve gotten episodes where the other characters are the main purpose but never Ferb.
I am so glad I grew up with P&F, because that show sparked my love for engineering and manufacturing, and is a huge part of why I decided to pursue welding as a career.
To be honest, when I rewatched the show recently, I felt like they were really running out of ideas in the final season, and most of the episodes were OK and not funny, which is not close to the bar the show set in seasons 1-3, which were great, with season 2 being my favorite. I did enjoy the finale, and I'm happy it ended before it actually became trash. I haven't watched the specials and movies which came out after the OWCA files, but if they want to get that cash, I think releasing a special episode or movie every few years is better for the series' reputation than a full reboot. It's not too late for Meap Me in St. Louis. By the way, is it just me or every P&F content that came after the finale focused on Candace or Doofenshmirtz?
Those two are the most underappreciated characters that have any sense of relevance in the show, really, so I think that's probably why. Like, there are quite a few background/recurring characters, but if they have any sense of real relevance, it's only for an episode or two, whereas Candace and Doofenshmirtz are commenly appearing, relevant, and yet hardly have any background. We know that for some reason Candace want to 'bust' her brothers, and Doofenshmirtz has an ex and daughter, as well as a very... Strange... Past, but that's about all that we know of them from the show itself, which really isn't enough.
@@Deborah-hc8nf @Deborah I didn't say it doesn't make sense that they are the focus now, I just wonder if it's actually true, because I haven't seen anything past the OWCA files. It actually makes sense that the creators decided to focus on them. Contrary to what you said, Doofenshmirtz, from what I see in comment sections, is the most loved character in the show, to the point that even people who don't like the show say that the Doof/Perry subplot is the only good part of it. I actually think the show gave a lot of information about his motives and why he treats his daughter so well, and that's why he has many fans. I definitely won't call him "underappreciated". About Candace, yeah, her motivation behind busting was never given.
UPDATE: Season 2 of Amphibia is legit the best TV I’ve seen in a long time. The only real thing I’m worried about is that Season 3 may falter because how high the bar was set by its direct predecessor, but if the series has at least two good seasons by the end, then it’ll all be worth it.
The first episode came out on my birthday. I still remember I watched that episode with my friends at my house. Surprisingly today I was talking with my friends about this cartoon and realised we still remember everything. But I was shocked after realizing that there are 4 seasons and I have only watched one season. Disney did us dirty by only showing 2 seasons in my country. 😭
Not only was Phineas and Ferb airing slow as f**k, but season 4 started airing in the Summerween-Boss Mabel hiatus of Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls’s gaps were FAR more infamous. So these were happening simultaneously, and while 2015 had P&F’s final three specials, Gravity Falls aired 12 of the 21 half hours in 2015, and none of them aired in consecutive weeks. There were 4 weeks between Weirdmageddon parts 1 & 2, and then nearly THREE MONTHS between part 2 and the hourlong finale. How the hell did we deal exactly? I think I repressed a lot
The only reason I was able to deal with it was because I didn’t have Disney XD until around the time that Weirdmaggedon was airing. So I was only able to watch new episodes of Phineas and Ferb or Gravity Falls when they would air on Disney Channel. And since I had missed so many episodes of both shows, I didn’t even know about the long hiatuses. Plus I wasn’t in the fandoms at the time, because I feel like that’s part of the reason that the hiatus between seasons of MML felt so long. I was constantly going online to talk about the show and speculate about what was gonna happen in the crossover, so I had tons of hype for that episode and couldn’t wait for it to come out. But with P&F and Gravity Falls, I didn’t have that. And honestly I wish that I had been involved in the Gravity Falls fandom when the show was originally airing because that would’ve been so much more fun. I literally didn’t even find out about the hidden codes in the show until a little while after Weirdmaggedon 3 came out, because I finally decided to go on Google and find out if the Bill Cipher statue from the end of the episode was actually real or not. And then I find out there was a world wide treasure hunt searching for the statue.
Funny because today, Dan Povenmire revealed in a RUclips Short that he would be working on 40 more brand new Phineas and Ferb episodes along with Hamster and Gretel.
The episode when they went to college made me so sad. It was such a fun show to wake up on a summer morning and watch all morning. also, this comment was made days after the new announcement of the new seasons lol.
3:42 This KILLED ME. What would have killed me harder was if Amphibia was also there. But, I'm pretty sure there will be Funko Pops for Amphibia and The Owl House next year! I wasn't part of the P&F fandom back when it was airing (Or a few other of my favorite shows) and going through the pain of crappy scheduling sounds really painful. And for the reason Phineas and Ferb ended..... yeah. That sounds like Disney.
I would've included Amphibia, but from what it seems Amphibia is at least getting to finish its story the way Matt Braly wants it to - which is great! Even if they messed up stuff like the True Colors premiere
@@MiloMurphysLaw Because Disney doesn't like Milo Murphy's Law and barely anyone knows it exsists. And an episode hasn't aired in over two years, so they probably think everyone has forgotten it exsists.
Growing up, i always watched phineas and ferb along with uncle grandpa, takeshi's castle, Clarence and many more. These shows are really nostalgic for me
I remember when the new episodes in the later seasons felt really spaced out. There would be one new episode every 4 months. Similar to how Spongebob in the late 2010s would do like a week of new episodes once a year. Recently they started releasing a bunch of them.
I have a friend that said Summer Belongs To You would've also been a decent ending to the show. While I disagree because of what came after, honestly if they chose to end it with that episode I wouldn't be upset. After all, that's a pretty good special. And the final song of that episode has a good message that applies to both the show and to life in general, so it definitely would've been a good sendoff for the show!
I might have a controversial opinion here, but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did. Honestly, I almost think it could've ended a season earlier. Don't get me wrong, I freaking loved that show for it's whole run, but the later seasons felt a little empty, I guess, compared to the earlier seasons, as if the show was running out of funding and they had to constantly downscale the background characters and what not. I still think the show ended on a relatively high note though.
@@eftbro9963 It's not that the later seasons had less developed background characters, it's that it had less of them. The first couple of seasons saw the entire neighborhood join in on Phineas and Ferb's antics (Rollercoaster, Hip Hip Parade, Beach Party, etc.), while the last episode didn't even have Stacy in it. It slowly narrowed it's scope to the main characters and a handful of supporting characters like Irving and the Fire-side girls. Those characters were well done, but the scope narrowed on the whole, making the show feel less lively to me.
Disney shows don't last long for some reason. They used to have the 65 episode rule. They stuck to it no matter how popular the show is. Kim Possible was one of the first shows to break it. It was brought back because of fan petitions. The 65 episode rule is technically gone they still don't let them last long. It's silly.
This video made me realize that streaming services are going to completely change the nature of television shows. Finally, no more restrictions and burdens imposed from the strict 30-minute schedules of TV programming. It's a whole different world for entertainment now
This was such a delight to watch, nearly brought a tear to my eye with the trip down memory lane. I was pretty much 16 when the show came out, I turn 30 this month, so my memory on the beginning of the series is more fresh than someone who watched it when they were little. I can still remember the day Rollercoaster aired clearly, actually seeing that in the video with Ashley Tisdale talking about P&F hit me in the feels. I remember that night & seeing Disney hyping up the series & strangely enough, I was disgusted by it. I remember them talking more so on the voice cast & all that & I couldn't get a good idea for what to expect from the show so 15 year old me was thinking the show sounded stupid & was hoping my little sister would change the channel when it came on. Actually, the story for me behind P&F's premiere is an interesting one, I love retelling it. My mom, sister, & I were on vacation to go fossil digging & rock hunting in place I had never been to before & never revisited since but I should go back sometime. We were staying at this cruddy motel like it was rundown, in a bad neighborhood, & the staff there were rude. My mom told the front desk worker about our toilet being clogged & he told her to stop flushing feminine products down there. It was clogged because tiny toilet plus big number 2 does not work. The spot specifically we were in was bad but I'm sure there's better places to stay. Down the street was this gas station with a little shop so I figured I'd walk down there to get some candy. It gave me something to do, we weren't going digging that day so I was bored. There's an apartment complex across the street & their mailbox was out at the sidewalk. I walked by it on my way to the gas station & this man was getting his mail & he complimented me, saying I look pretty & whatnot & he asked me where I was heading. I told him that I was just walking & he offered to give me a ride. Uhh yeah, no. This is like one of those scenarios right out of those cheesy stranger danger videos they made us watch in school, I knew that this was a dicey situation, I'm not dumb. I told him no but he tried to convince me & I was trying to hammer in that I was just walking & didn't need a ride anywhere. Eventually he gave up asking & I continued walking down but he was following me, I would look back & one of the times he asked "what?" I didn't give him an answer & just picked up my speed. I got to a crosswalk, pushed the button, then looked back in a panic, worried that he might be there but he was gone. I had decided that I would go hide out at the gas station, maybe tell the clerk at the counter my situation. I didn't want him to know I was staying at the motel so I was too scared to run back there. As soon as it told me I could walk, I started running & flipped open my phone & rapidly started punching in my mom's number so that I could inform her on what was going on. One thing to note, when I was still walking & he was following, I did pass by the entrance to the parking lot for the apartment complex, it was small & only a few cars were there, one to note was this warn down, beat up looking pickup truck. When I got to the gas station, I saw that truck in the parking lot there which was odd because I swear I remembered seeing it at the apartment complex & inside, talking to the clerk, was that same man from before. Thankfully, my mom pulled up & I hopped into her car. Later that night, I was too scared to leave the room so I was stuck watching High School Musical 2 with my mom & little sister. I wanted to watch something different but my mom insisted we watched that. I know many people are fans of the high school musical movies but I was like right at that age where it was cool to make fun of them when they came out. I was apart of the teens group who made fun of Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Justin Bieber, & anything the preteens were into those days pretty much. It's like when you're around 7 & make fun of Barney & other baby shows but for teens in the 2000's. Obviously, I don't feel the same way anymore, I'm grown now but for young me, this was torture. I hated every second of what was going on & Phineas & Ferb was the thing that I thought would make it worse but no, it completely saved that night, that entire day for me. When Rollercoaster started, it was just the absolute best thing, I was laughing & enjoying myself. I remember the very moment we saw Perry sneaking off, I made a crack about him being a secret agent & then as it turns out, he is! Perry was like the very first thing I noticed in this show pretty much because I was a weird kid who thought that platypusses were super cool so seeing one in an animated show brought me such joy. I learned what a platypus was thanks to this Magic School Bus video game I played as a kid but I felt like I was one of the few who knew about them because I stumbled into knowing by complete accident with the animal creator thingy in the back of the bus, I liked trying to make animals that obviously didn't exist so when I made a platypus, I was in shock it was real. Perry is what got me hooked into the series but I think the timing of the show really hammered this one in as being one of my favorite series. It started right around the same time my favorite series of all time ended over on Nickelodeon, Danny Phantom. I was on vacation so I was stuck sharing a TV with my sister, by this point in time I wasn't really watching Disney Channel anymore but still did watch Toon Disney for the childhood shows I grew up with. Almost getting kidnapped was a boost, I was terrified & did not want to leave that room at all, I was so scared that he might of figured out where I was & was just waiting for me to leave so he could follow me. So having something this positive during such a negative day was exactly what I needed. Due to entering in early, I was there for it all pretty much. In 2008, I joined a P&F forum over at the TV website. Yes, hi Roy if you're reading this, this is exactly who you think it is. I was known for my extra long posts. We did discuss things on our minds related to the series, we were wondering if it would abide by the episode limit rule or if it would keep going. We also questioned Phineas' voice potentially changing since his VA was a kid at the time & well, we knew his voice would get deeper so it's relief that he could still sound like Phineas. I remember Tip of the Day being a major troll move & we all loved it for that, that episode is like an injoke or a you had to be there moment. So many memories associated with this series, definitely a positive light & I love that it's been there through the years. Wow, been there for nearly half my life, not quite yet. My birthday is September 27th so I turned 16 one month & ten days after Rollercoaster aired. Kinda trippy I can easily reference the day I was nearly kidnapped due to it being the same one as when P&F aired. Also, was there for Milo Murphy's Law since the beginning. I cosplayed as Dr. Doofenshmirtz to Rose City Comicon in 2015 & when I got Olivia Olson's autograph, she asked me if I knew about the new show from Dan & Swampy. I think it had a different name during that time, I wrote down the name but I doubt I still have the paper, I did so in order to look it up when I got home. I was still using a flip phone in 2015 so I couldn't look it up there. I remember not being able to find out much details on it but there were a few things here & there & it stayed on my radar & when they dropped the first episode on their official youtube channel, probably saw it like 50 times over, I could not wait to get the next episode.
Okay, a few things: 2:28 You have to use that whenever you can. IT’S SO FUNNY Also, I wish a lot of other cartoons had an episode like “Act Your Age” since it is so emotional. And if Milo Murphy’s Law isn’t getting a season 3, there should at least be a special episode that properly concludes the series. Also, when The Ghost and Molly McGee premiers October 1st, maybe you can do a video on that?
LOL thank you I love that bit and definitely have plans for it in the future! I think timeskip episodes are such a cool concept, and I think a lot of shows would do well to take a page out of P&F's book and have one! And also I'm not sure if I'll talk Molly McGee THIS year, as my schedule is pretty full, but perhaps next year!
@@The2ndDimension One more thing. What if an episode of "Phineas and Ferb" used a cold open before the Phineas and Ferb theme? Just like what some episodes of "Milo Murphy's Law" did?
Excellent video! I enjoyed your take on why P&F ended. I actually cried when Phineas waved goodbye because my childhood was officially over. 😞 I do think though that if The Simpsons can go 30 plus seasons, so could Phineas & Ferb! I couldn’t see the show really run out of ideas.
Thanks for checking it out! Though i do think it's good that they weren't making anymore regular episodes. There's only so many things you can invent, for both Doof and P&F
I’m glad that the final was actually really good. I wish there was a rerun for when they go to college. But after the last day of summer I felt my heart break when I heard the door close 😭
The episode where the characters in “Phineas and Ferb” are teenagers, gave me the idea to imagine my other favorite childhood cartoons as adolescents as well.
I was a wreck when the finale came out. A show that I held so close to my heart and grew to be my favorite show ever was ending. But it went out on such a good note. I was happy the show got to have an “end” to it but I was equally excited to see them return on MML and even happier when Candace Against The Universe was announced.
Season 3 and Season 4 are my top favorite seasons for Phineas and Ferb. I also had the 'Across the 2nd Dimension' as a mere child. I don't know what happened to it now.
Phineas and Ferb was and is my favorite animated series, I was devastated when they took it off of Netflix. I watched the whole series around 4 times and never got tired of it. The special episodes were fun to watch along with the regular series.
Personally, I think a revival series on Disney+, taking place the following summer, would be a good way to continue the franchise, similar to what The Proud Family will be doing. Of course that would have to wait, as the movie came out last year, and Dan and Swampy are working on their own separate projects.
If they were going to bring the series back, I feel like it would make more sense for it to just take place during the same summer. Before “Last Day of Summer”, obviously
I think that ending the show eventually was the right move. Unlike Fox or Viacom, Disney has a good track record of managing how long their shows last for.
Personally, here is how I would continue the franchise. Obviously the first thing I would do is make Milo Murphy’s Law season 3 with an hour long series finale. I would have Doof move out in the first few episodes of the season, but then have an hour long stand alone special about Doof (and Perry) trying to invent time travel and they would end up accidentally going on an adventure through a bunch of different time periods or something. And I would also have Cavendish and Dakota as the B-plot of the special, maybe if they end up rehired by BOTT at the end of season 3 (since they’re still working there in the future as shown in A Christmas Peril) then they could be assigned to go and stop Doof from messing around with the past. Then I would have an hour long special that takes place after Tales From the Resistance to wrap up that plot. The general idea I have right now is that Doof-2 would rebuild the Other-Dimension-inator to try to go get help from Doof-1, but since he’s turned good he instead tries to convince Doof-2 to turn good too. And maybe there would be some time travel in that one too because Doof-1 tells Doof-2 about him becoming Professor Time and everything, but then Doof-2 gets the idea to steal his time machine and go back to the events of the movie to help his past self defeat Phineas and Ferb. Another idea I had was that the 3rd Phineas and Ferb movie could focus on time travel, because that way the movies would be like a reverse of Milo Murphy’s Law. MML season 1 had time travel, P&F’s 3rd movie would have time travel. MML season 2 had aliens, P&F’s 2nd movie had aliens. MML season 3 would have robots, P&F’s 1st movie had robots. But if I had already made 2 hour long specials involving time travel, I’m not sure what the plot of the movie would be then. Maybe this time it would focus on Phineas and Ferb having a whole bunch of time travel adventures, since the 2 specials were more focused on Doof. And I would also have an hour long crossover with The Simpsons. So basically, MML season 3, 3 more hour long specials, and a 3rd P&F movie. And maybe even a 3rd show in the franchise (not including Hamster and Gretel) focused entirely on Doof and Perry. I would love to see Doof 101 or OWCA Files become a full series, or since I love time travel a full show about Doof becoming Professor Time and going on time travel adventures. And have Cavendish and Dakota in the B-plot, probably as time travelers again (because like I said they would probably start working at BOTT again at the end of season 3). So how would I continue Phineas and Ferb? Time travel. Because everything that has time travel in it is automatically awesome. Oh, and if you see this comment and want to talk about any of these ideas, maybe we could talk on Discord?

we did it
It ended because it wanted to go out high before being milked to death. Huge respect to them.
TRULY MAD RESPECT!!!
Couldn't of said it better. Truth.
All good things must come to an end.
Well the thing is the bigges thsow they were hinting at carrying on well past its welcome is Spongebob, which is Viacom's MIckey Mouse. But guess what, the parent company of PHineas and Ferb already has their own Mickey Mosue...and he is the original, although the newer cartoons are influenced by that yellow kitchen sponge thing that does not resemble a sea sponge, but still, Mickey Mouse is actually fun tow atch.
Swampy saw what happened to SpongeBob and Family Guy, he and Dan knew of the outcome if they kept continuing Phineas and Ferb. Also, views dropped immensly during mid season 4; the early season 4 episodes had millions of viewers, but the mid season 4 episodes and beyond eventually dropped from millions to less than 500,000 viewers. All good things must come to an end.
This is actually the very first series finale to a cartoon I've seen, so it holds a special place in my heart. Sure, it doesn't really feel like a finale for the majority of the episode, but I still love it either way.
It's such a perfect idea for a finale! The days keep repeating, just like the show itself did!
Kinda coincidental how this video in itself was uploaded on the last day of my summer holiday - it was 115 days long!

I think the brilliance of Phineas and Ferb is that for a kid's show it actually has a pretty intelligent sense of humor. The adults can genuinely enjoy it as much as the kids do without the show getting dirty. I'm 25 now and I still love this show dearly because it continues to make me laugh to this day.

Rewatching the series last year made me realize just how melancholy the finale felt compared to the end of Rollercoaster the Musical in season 2, which was way more lively and epic. Weird
Oh for sure! There were so many Phineas and Ferb episodes that felt like they could be the finale! It makes sense that the actual finale was smaller-scale and character focused
Personally, I feel like Last Day of Summer was a perfect ending for the show. It would be really weird to end with a remake of the first episode.

Yeah! Like, 1 special a year or something, just to keep it alive. That'd be perfect
@@The2ndDimension the Scooby Doo formula! 😂
@@The2ndDimension I don’t even think we need 1 a year. We just need a few to fully wrap up all the loose ends. Like a special to conclude what happened after the end of Tales From the Resistance, and a special showing Doof (and Perry) working on trying to invent time travel after the end of MML season 2 with Cavendish and Dakota as the B-plot. And I also think it would be kinda cool to see a crossover with The Simpsons for multiple reasons. P&F and The Simpsons have both had crossovers with Marvel and Star Wars, and I think it would make perfect sense for Disney Channel’s longest running cartoon to crossover with Fox’s longest running cartoon. Plus, Dan and Swampy met when they were working on The Simpsons, so it would be really cool for the show that they eventually ended up co-creating to crossover with the the show they were working on when they first met.
That would be my ideal scenario. The series was great in my book right till the end, but you could tell that the gears wanted to shift. For a show that played the formula so masterfully like PnF, I think changing to a new status quo would make it a different show.
The Specials however where a real highlight, since they allowed the characters to be put in new situations naturally without breaking the main series. Day of The Living Pharmacist and the Star Wars Special where amazing in particular, and it was fun to see the characters in darker stories than usual.
Yes and have Doofensmirtz be a major focus please
I would kill for another pass at Doof 101 (you know something small like a carrot). It was such a natural progression of everyone's characters, especially Heinz, to go into a new environment with with new adventures. Also the theme song was a bop. Alas one can only dream
Same! Doof 101 was underrated, and I still have a soft spot in my heart for the bug trio
I loved that episode
Yep :)
Really, Phineas and Ferb's ending was amazing. But after everything, it's extremely sad. You're right about Act your age being the emotional ending. But in the Last Day Of Summer, I liked reviewing how much the characters have grown, and I think that in Quantum Boogaloo, it's really great that Isabella knows she'll marry Phineas, because it's the ending she always wanted, and the fact that Candace stops obsessing over her brothers means it's a happy ending for everyone. It would be epic if they made an episode that takes place after Act your Age and shows what happens with Phineas And Isabella at TriState State. Also an episode explaining how tf Ferb pulled a girl 6 years older than him lmfao. More Doof 101 would be great. That's just what I think personally.
I agree that Ferb hooking up with Vanessa was just plain odd. I mean at least their relationship is pure and not just him wanting to do the nasty with her but COME ON! 😂

DAN JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WILL BE 40 NEW EPISODES
This series is unforgettable. It took about sixteen years to get it on the air in the first place, and then it had an amazing run. I believe that it ended in the best way possible (although it can definitely shape up to the Ed, Edd, n Eddy finale),
Phineas and Ferb was lucky it lasted longer as it did. Now all Disney's animated shows last 3 seasons. And mostly all of them are all story driven arc shows.
I know! Big City Greens looks like it MIGHT hit 4 seasons tho....
@@The2ndDimension I’m honestly split, it could make it because Disney is in need of a flag ship show and amphibia and the owl house are closing, but I just don’t think the interest is there, Phineas and Ferb, Kim Possible, and Star vs. to a lesser extent got lots of mouth service, no one at my school or the cartoon community talks about big city greens, great video btw
I would greenlight MML for a 3rd season so it could finish its story, complete with another Phineas and Ferb crossover, and then greenlit the shelved Phineas and Ferb film the crew was working on before
CATU as the 3rd movie with the franchise continuing to release more films and specials afterwards every few years or so.

I want a proper sequel to Across The Second Dimension, with an older (after Act Your Age) Phineas And Ferb suddenly remembering the events of the first movie and going on a multiversal adventure. This would fill up the loose ends set up by the Across The Second Dimension sequel episode and could have cameo appearances of the dimensions of other Disney shows such as The Owl House and Amphibia, and setting up a Disney TV Multiverse.
The kids starting high school! The Milo gang would probably be seniors and there could be slight overlap!

God, this show meant so much to me. I can't even put it into words. I watched *every* episode the day they came out (or the day they leaked). Long after all of my peers had lost interest, I was shamelessly watching it all the way to late middle school when it ended. I'm glad it ended when it did - I think it was definitely running out of steam - but the absolute HYPE from that opening 'Ferbruary' launch has never left my soul and never will.

The merch issue seems to be what's going on with Owl House and Amphibia [and somehow, Star Vs, despite how I think that's well after 65..]. No merch despite the popularity, no expansions to 65 episodes [especially for Owl House], it's odd.

I wish P&F renewed for Season 5, but I'm really glad they got a new movie called Candace Against the Universe 5 years after the show ended. I'm hoping that a 3rd movie is still in development.
Your wish came true.
10:33 Phineas really just leaned against a window that was rolling down. That boi built different.
Who started crying when they saw all the characters growing up and the special thanking us for the journey and all we have supported them to the end of the journey. I love Phineas And Ferb.
I think at this point i’ve had my fill on standard 11 minute Phineas and Ferb episodes. As much as I love season 4 by the end to me it felt like the writers were going through burnout in terms of having to keep coming up with imaginative fun stuff for the kids to build.
I think movies are the way to go when it comes to continuing Phineas and Ferb (so long as they have better animation consistency). I don’t think the show could really go back to its classic formula (especially when season 4 was a huge deviation from that in its second half) so huge adventures with big action set pieces that also act as an in-depth analysis of the series iconic characters is the way to go.
Ideally i’d like to see a new Disney+ original Phineas and Ferb movie every 2-3 years. Maybe also do a 40 minute Christmas special. Just give us a new Phineas and Ferb project every few years that keeps the franchise alive and relevant while not interfering with Dan and Swampy’s other projects.
Also obviously bring back Milo Murphy’s Law to give it some sort of ending but that’s gonna be a challenge.
I agree with every word you said :)
Exactly. Nearing the end of season 4, they just started doing straight up crossovers. There isn't really a need for more of this show since it was running out of ideas when it was still airing.
I'm surprised that Doofensmirtz never made a humaninator for Perry the Platypus.
Season 4 is the best season tho
6:50 also, this is just more proof that Disney would have greenlit the show for season 5 if Dan and Swampy hadn’t decided that they wanted to give the show a proper conclusion. For some reason a lot of people don’t believe me when I tell them that and they still think that Disney canceled the show even though Dan and Swampy wanted to do more. But in reality it was the exact opposite of that.
I really hate when shows end on their own terms and people think they were canceled. It's almost like they want the show to hit seasonal rot.
@@lukebytes5366 or when a show actually is canceled but then people claim that it was because the creators decided to randomly end it *without a conclusion.*

this show was actually my one and only childhood entertainment. when i was kid my mom made a strict rule to only be able watch tv for one hour so we won't binge watching tv. and luckily, every weekdays disney put 2 shows (1 show for 30 minute. this is how it worked in my country) i realllyyy love it and it brings so much sentimental memories because every song had one exact moment that linked to my childhood memory. and when the show ended i was crying like crazy because i feel like my childhood really was over that day. i will never ever ever forget this show

I'm honestly surprised that the show that broke the rule was Kim Possible and not Phineas and Ferb. Now I'm not even surprised people barely supported Wander over Yonder
The first that broke the rule was that's so raven
Not kim possible
Actually That's So Raven was the first to break the 65 episode rule, with season 3 having 35 episodes and surpassing 78 episodes. It's sad how people don't acknowledge how it made history

grow up Josh
Because that’s so raven appealed to one gender more than the other. By far.
@@Bearsbeets.battlestargalactica it doesn't matter what audience it catered to. As a full show, it accomplished that record in terms of live action. Phineas and Ferb was the first ANIMATED show to do it. Doesn't matter that P&F had a wider audience.
One movie idea I have for them would to make a Ferb movie. Because we’ve gotten episodes where the other characters are the main purpose but never Ferb.
Season 3 has tons of ferb episodes but yeah
I am so glad I grew up with P&F, because that show sparked my love for engineering and manufacturing, and is a huge part of why I decided to pursue welding as a career.
Dan just announced 40 more episodes!
To be honest, when I rewatched the show recently, I felt like they were really running out of ideas in the final season, and most of the episodes were OK and not funny, which is not close to the bar the show set in seasons 1-3, which were great, with season 2 being my favorite. I did enjoy the finale, and I'm happy it ended before it actually became trash. I haven't watched the specials and movies which came out after the OWCA files, but if they want to get that cash, I think releasing a special episode or movie every few years is better for the series' reputation than a full reboot. It's not too late for Meap Me in St. Louis.
By the way, is it just me or every P&F content that came after the finale focused on Candace or Doofenshmirtz?
Those two are the most underappreciated characters that have any sense of relevance in the show, really, so I think that's probably why. Like, there are quite a few background/recurring characters, but if they have any sense of real relevance, it's only for an episode or two, whereas Candace and Doofenshmirtz are commenly appearing, relevant, and yet hardly have any background. We know that for some reason Candace want to 'bust' her brothers, and Doofenshmirtz has an ex and daughter, as well as a very... Strange... Past, but that's about all that we know of them from the show itself, which really isn't enough.
@@Deborah-hc8nf @Deborah I didn't say it doesn't make sense that they are the focus now, I just wonder if it's actually true, because I haven't seen anything past the OWCA files.
It actually makes sense that the creators decided to focus on them. Contrary to what you said, Doofenshmirtz, from what I see in comment sections, is the most loved character in the show, to the point that even people who don't like the show say that the Doof/Perry subplot is the only good part of it. I actually think the show gave a lot of information about his motives and why he treats his daughter so well, and that's why he has many fans. I definitely won't call him "underappreciated".
About Candace, yeah, her motivation behind busting was never given.
its because the circumstances that makes the story move is caused by Candace and Doof
Bad opinion. Season 4 is the best and the funniest
That Owl House/Milo Murphy’s Law image and enraged grunt combo combo is me whenever I think about Amphibia’s lack of merchandise
Wasn't Amphibia designed to be only three season long?
@@nathanielmcnamara1604 From what I've heard, yes. (I'm only halfway through S2 and am LOVING it so far)
UPDATE: Season 2 of Amphibia is legit the best TV I’ve seen in a long time. The only real thing I’m worried about is that Season 3 may falter because how high the bar was set by its direct predecessor, but if the series has at least two good seasons by the end, then it’ll all be worth it.

8:28 well that aged well
The first episode came out on my birthday. I still remember I watched that episode with my friends at my house. Surprisingly today I was talking with my friends about this cartoon and realised we still remember everything. But I was shocked after realizing that there are 4 seasons and I have only watched one season. Disney did us dirty by only showing 2 seasons in my country. 😭
Not only was Phineas and Ferb airing slow as f**k, but season 4 started airing in the Summerween-Boss Mabel hiatus of Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls’s gaps were FAR more infamous. So these were happening simultaneously, and while 2015 had P&F’s final three specials, Gravity Falls aired 12 of the 21 half hours in 2015, and none of them aired in consecutive weeks. There were 4 weeks between Weirdmageddon parts 1 & 2, and then nearly THREE MONTHS between part 2 and the hourlong finale. How the hell did we deal exactly? I think I repressed a lot
The only reason I was able to deal with it was because I didn’t have Disney XD until around the time that Weirdmaggedon was airing. So I was only able to watch new episodes of Phineas and Ferb or Gravity Falls when they would air on Disney Channel. And since I had missed so many episodes of both shows, I didn’t even know about the long hiatuses. Plus I wasn’t in the fandoms at the time, because I feel like that’s part of the reason that the hiatus between seasons of MML felt so long. I was constantly going online to talk about the show and speculate about what was gonna happen in the crossover, so I had tons of hype for that episode and couldn’t wait for it to come out. But with P&F and Gravity Falls, I didn’t have that. And honestly I wish that I had been involved in the Gravity Falls fandom when the show was originally airing because that would’ve been so much more fun. I literally didn’t even find out about the hidden codes in the show until a little while after Weirdmaggedon 3 came out, because I finally decided to go on Google and find out if the Bill Cipher statue from the end of the episode was actually real or not. And then I find out there was a world wide treasure hunt searching for the statue.

Growing up, i always watched phineas and ferb along with uncle grandpa, takeshi's castle, Clarence and many more. These shows are really nostalgic for me
I feel like finales are under appreciated a lot, so many shows don’t get to have them so it’s so nice when they do :)
5:41 I completely agree. Season 4 is my favorite season because it has all of my favorite episodes.
I remember when the new episodes in the later seasons felt really spaced out. There would be one new episode every 4 months. Similar to how Spongebob in the late 2010s would do like a week of new episodes once a year. Recently they started releasing a bunch of them.
Still watch the first episode of Phineas and Ferb sometimes I really miss them truly I do
I have a friend that said Summer Belongs To You would've also been a decent ending to the show. While I disagree because of what came after, honestly if they chose to end it with that episode I wouldn't be upset. After all, that's a pretty good special. And the final song of that episode has a good message that applies to both the show and to life in general, so it definitely would've been a good sendoff for the show!
I might have a controversial opinion here, but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did. Honestly, I almost think it could've ended a season earlier. Don't get me wrong, I freaking loved that show for it's whole run, but the later seasons felt a little empty, I guess, compared to the earlier seasons, as if the show was running out of funding and they had to constantly downscale the background characters and what not. I still think the show ended on a relatively high note though.
Dude the later seasons had way more personality of background characters. You are high
@@eftbro9963 It's not that the later seasons had less developed background characters, it's that it had less of them. The first couple of seasons saw the entire neighborhood join in on Phineas and Ferb's antics (Rollercoaster, Hip Hip Parade, Beach Party, etc.), while the last episode didn't even have Stacy in it. It slowly narrowed it's scope to the main characters and a handful of supporting characters like Irving and the Fire-side girls. Those characters were well done, but the scope narrowed on the whole, making the show feel less lively to me.
Disney shows don't last long for some reason. They used to have the 65 episode rule. They stuck to it no matter how popular the show is. Kim Possible was one of the first shows to break it. It was brought back because of fan petitions. The 65 episode rule is technically gone they still don't let them last long. It's silly.
It is! Executives are so out of touch
Now it’s the 4 season rule. Although it seems like most shows get canceled after only 3 seasons (or 75 episodes)
"Everything has to end sometime. Else no one would get anything done."
8 years later in 2023:Oh they really thought we were gone.
This video made me realize that streaming services are going to completely change the nature of television shows. Finally, no more restrictions and burdens imposed from the strict 30-minute schedules of TV programming. It's a whole different world for entertainment now
This was such a delight to watch, nearly brought a tear to my eye with the trip down memory lane. I was pretty much 16 when the show came out, I turn 30 this month, so my memory on the beginning of the series is more fresh than someone who watched it when they were little. I can still remember the day Rollercoaster aired clearly, actually seeing that in the video with Ashley Tisdale talking about P&F hit me in the feels. I remember that night & seeing Disney hyping up the series & strangely enough, I was disgusted by it. I remember them talking more so on the voice cast & all that & I couldn't get a good idea for what to expect from the show so 15 year old me was thinking the show sounded stupid & was hoping my little sister would change the channel when it came on. Actually, the story for me behind P&F's premiere is an interesting one, I love retelling it.
My mom, sister, & I were on vacation to go fossil digging & rock hunting in place I had never been to before & never revisited since but I should go back sometime. We were staying at this cruddy motel like it was rundown, in a bad neighborhood, & the staff there were rude. My mom told the front desk worker about our toilet being clogged & he told her to stop flushing feminine products down there. It was clogged because tiny toilet plus big number 2 does not work. The spot specifically we were in was bad but I'm sure there's better places to stay.
Down the street was this gas station with a little shop so I figured I'd walk down there to get some candy. It gave me something to do, we weren't going digging that day so I was bored. There's an apartment complex across the street & their mailbox was out at the sidewalk. I walked by it on my way to the gas station & this man was getting his mail & he complimented me, saying I look pretty & whatnot & he asked me where I was heading. I told him that I was just walking & he offered to give me a ride. Uhh yeah, no. This is like one of those scenarios right out of those cheesy stranger danger videos they made us watch in school, I knew that this was a dicey situation, I'm not dumb. I told him no but he tried to convince me & I was trying to hammer in that I was just walking & didn't need a ride anywhere. Eventually he gave up asking & I continued walking down but he was following me, I would look back & one of the times he asked "what?" I didn't give him an answer & just picked up my speed.
I got to a crosswalk, pushed the button, then looked back in a panic, worried that he might be there but he was gone. I had decided that I would go hide out at the gas station, maybe tell the clerk at the counter my situation. I didn't want him to know I was staying at the motel so I was too scared to run back there. As soon as it told me I could walk, I started running & flipped open my phone & rapidly started punching in my mom's number so that I could inform her on what was going on.
One thing to note, when I was still walking & he was following, I did pass by the entrance to the parking lot for the apartment complex, it was small & only a few cars were there, one to note was this warn down, beat up looking pickup truck. When I got to the gas station, I saw that truck in the parking lot there which was odd because I swear I remembered seeing it at the apartment complex & inside, talking to the clerk, was that same man from before. Thankfully, my mom pulled up & I hopped into her car.
Later that night, I was too scared to leave the room so I was stuck watching High School Musical 2 with my mom & little sister. I wanted to watch something different but my mom insisted we watched that. I know many people are fans of the high school musical movies but I was like right at that age where it was cool to make fun of them when they came out. I was apart of the teens group who made fun of Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Justin Bieber, & anything the preteens were into those days pretty much. It's like when you're around 7 & make fun of Barney & other baby shows but for teens in the 2000's. Obviously, I don't feel the same way anymore, I'm grown now but for young me, this was torture. I hated every second of what was going on & Phineas & Ferb was the thing that I thought would make it worse but no, it completely saved that night, that entire day for me.
When Rollercoaster started, it was just the absolute best thing, I was laughing & enjoying myself. I remember the very moment we saw Perry sneaking off, I made a crack about him being a secret agent & then as it turns out, he is! Perry was like the very first thing I noticed in this show pretty much because I was a weird kid who thought that platypusses were super cool so seeing one in an animated show brought me such joy. I learned what a platypus was thanks to this Magic School Bus video game I played as a kid but I felt like I was one of the few who knew about them because I stumbled into knowing by complete accident with the animal creator thingy in the back of the bus, I liked trying to make animals that obviously didn't exist so when I made a platypus, I was in shock it was real.
Perry is what got me hooked into the series but I think the timing of the show really hammered this one in as being one of my favorite series. It started right around the same time my favorite series of all time ended over on Nickelodeon, Danny Phantom. I was on vacation so I was stuck sharing a TV with my sister, by this point in time I wasn't really watching Disney Channel anymore but still did watch Toon Disney for the childhood shows I grew up with. Almost getting kidnapped was a boost, I was terrified & did not want to leave that room at all, I was so scared that he might of figured out where I was & was just waiting for me to leave so he could follow me. So having something this positive during such a negative day was exactly what I needed.
Due to entering in early, I was there for it all pretty much. In 2008, I joined a P&F forum over at the TV website. Yes, hi Roy if you're reading this, this is exactly who you think it is. I was known for my extra long posts. We did discuss things on our minds related to the series, we were wondering if it would abide by the episode limit rule or if it would keep going. We also questioned Phineas' voice potentially changing since his VA was a kid at the time & well, we knew his voice would get deeper so it's relief that he could still sound like Phineas. I remember Tip of the Day being a major troll move & we all loved it for that, that episode is like an injoke or a you had to be there moment. So many memories associated with this series, definitely a positive light & I love that it's been there through the years. Wow, been there for nearly half my life, not quite yet. My birthday is September 27th so I turned 16 one month & ten days after Rollercoaster aired. Kinda trippy I can easily reference the day I was nearly kidnapped due to it being the same one as when P&F aired.
Also, was there for Milo Murphy's Law since the beginning. I cosplayed as Dr. Doofenshmirtz to Rose City Comicon in 2015 & when I got Olivia Olson's autograph, she asked me if I knew about the new show from Dan & Swampy. I think it had a different name during that time, I wrote down the name but I doubt I still have the paper, I did so in order to look it up when I got home. I was still using a flip phone in 2015 so I couldn't look it up there. I remember not being able to find out much details on it but there were a few things here & there & it stayed on my radar & when they dropped the first episode on their official youtube channel, probably saw it like 50 times over, I could not wait to get the next episode.
Wow read your whole post. Cool story
How long did it take you to write this
Well good thing I used this as a story of a man who liked tv for school
Okay, a few things:
2:28 You have to use that whenever you can. IT’S SO FUNNY
Also, I wish a lot of other cartoons had an episode like “Act Your Age” since it is so emotional. And if Milo Murphy’s Law isn’t getting a season 3, there should at least be a special episode that properly concludes the series.
Also, when The Ghost and Molly McGee premiers October 1st, maybe you can do a video on that?
LOL thank you I love that bit and definitely have plans for it in the future!
I think timeskip episodes are such a cool concept, and I think a lot of shows would do well to take a page out of P&F's book and have one! And also I'm not sure if I'll talk Molly McGee THIS year, as my schedule is pretty full, but perhaps next year!
@@The2ndDimension One more thing. What if an episode of "Phineas and Ferb" used a cold open before the Phineas and Ferb theme? Just like what some episodes of "Milo Murphy's Law" did?
I actually LOVED Act Your Age, it felt like a more appropriate series finale than Last Day of Summer did
"Ferb, I don't want to do anything today"
Best time to recommend this to me just as Phineas and Ferb are gonna get 2 more seasons on Disney+
Reaper: Your time has come
Phineas: Was I a good show
Reaper: No
Reaper: The best
Ya know tbh when PaF Candace against the universe came out, it really took me back from when I use to watch new episodes from the series.
I was up at THREE AM to watch it. It was so great
Excellent video! I enjoyed your take on why P&F ended. I actually cried when Phineas waved goodbye because my childhood was officially over. 😞
I do think though that if The Simpsons can go 30 plus seasons, so could Phineas & Ferb! I couldn’t see the show really run out of ideas.
Thanks for checking it out! Though i do think it's good that they weren't making anymore regular episodes. There's only so many things you can invent, for both Doof and P&F
There’s also the revival series coming to Disney+ with 2 seasons and 40 episodes.
I’m glad that the final was actually really good. I wish there was a rerun for when they go to college.
But after the last day of summer I felt my heart break when I heard the door close 😭
I am actually glad this show ended on a high note instead of overstaying its welcome like Spongebob and Family Guy did.
The episode where the characters in “Phineas and Ferb” are teenagers, gave me the idea to imagine my other favorite childhood cartoons as adolescents as well.
I was a wreck when the finale came out. A show that I held so close to my heart and grew to be my favorite show ever was ending. But it went out on such a good note. I was happy the show got to have an “end” to it but I was equally excited to see them return on MML and even happier when Candace Against The Universe was announced.
Doofenschmirtz’s “shutuponator” really worked for the show.
We should’ve just expected him winning in the end.
Season 3 and Season 4 are my top favorite seasons for Phineas and Ferb. I also had the 'Across the 2nd Dimension' as a mere child. I don't know what happened to it now.
That's awesome!! Season 2 & Season 4 are my personal favs
@@The2ndDimension season 3 clears season 2. But season 4 is the best
Phineas and Ferb was and is my favorite animated series, I was devastated when they took it off of
Netflix. I watched the whole series around 4 times and never got tired of it. The special episodes were fun to watch along with the regular series.
It was probably pretty difficult for them to keep going after Pinhead Pierre died.
you should've been at the funeral
Your next production should be to give him a proper funeral
@@BrookeAndCoStudios Another 9 months for a 3-hour Pierre funeral? I'm in.
Disney; ‘but we need to make a season 5 if we want in like 10 years-
Well they stuck with their word
When I was little and new episodes weren't coming I asked my mom why new episodes aren't coming
She told me their summer vacation was ended
I would ABSOLUTELY love a 3rd season of MML and a 5th season of P&F!!
Personally, I think a revival series on Disney+, taking place the following summer, would be a good way to continue the franchise, similar to what The Proud Family will be doing. Of course that would have to wait, as the movie came out last year, and Dan and Swampy are working on their own separate projects.
If they were going to bring the series back, I feel like it would make more sense for it to just take place during the same summer. Before “Last Day of Summer”, obviously
I think that ending the show eventually was the right move. Unlike Fox or Viacom, Disney has a good track record of managing how long their shows last for.
It took so long for me to realize that the last day of summer≠summer belongs to you
It's not over there are two more seasons coming
Personally, here is how I would continue the franchise. Obviously the first thing I would do is make Milo Murphy’s Law season 3 with an hour long series finale.
I would have Doof move out in the first few episodes of the season, but then have an hour long stand alone special about Doof (and Perry) trying to invent time travel and they would end up accidentally going on an adventure through a bunch of different time periods or something. And I would also have Cavendish and Dakota as the B-plot of the special, maybe if they end up rehired by BOTT at the end of season 3 (since they’re still working there in the future as shown in A Christmas Peril) then they could be assigned to go and stop Doof from messing around with the past.
Then I would have an hour long special that takes place after Tales From the Resistance to wrap up that plot. The general idea I have right now is that Doof-2 would rebuild the Other-Dimension-inator to try to go get help from Doof-1, but since he’s turned good he instead tries to convince Doof-2 to turn good too. And maybe there would be some time travel in that one too because Doof-1 tells Doof-2 about him becoming Professor Time and everything, but then Doof-2 gets the idea to steal his time machine and go back to the events of the movie to help his past self defeat Phineas and Ferb.
Another idea I had was that the 3rd Phineas and Ferb movie could focus on time travel, because that way the movies would be like a reverse of Milo Murphy’s Law. MML season 1 had time travel, P&F’s 3rd movie would have time travel. MML season 2 had aliens, P&F’s 2nd movie had aliens. MML season 3 would have robots, P&F’s 1st movie had robots. But if I had already made 2 hour long specials involving time travel, I’m not sure what the plot of the movie would be then. Maybe this time it would focus on Phineas and Ferb having a whole bunch of time travel adventures, since the 2 specials were more focused on Doof.
And I would also have an hour long crossover with The Simpsons. So basically, MML season 3, 3 more hour long specials, and a 3rd P&F movie. And maybe even a 3rd show in the franchise (not including Hamster and Gretel) focused entirely on Doof and Perry. I would love to see Doof 101 or OWCA Files become a full series, or since I love time travel a full show about Doof becoming Professor Time and going on time travel adventures. And have Cavendish and Dakota in the B-plot, probably as time travelers again (because like I said they would probably start working at BOTT again at the end of season 3).
So how would I continue Phineas and Ferb? Time travel. Because everything that has time travel in it is automatically awesome.
Oh, and if you see this comment and want to talk about any of these ideas, maybe we could talk on Discord?
Time travel doesn't make everything awesome. Such as the later seasons of Flash, Sonic 06, Sonic Boom: ROL. Etc
