What Parents Need to Know
This review of Phineas and Ferb was written by Emily Ashby
Parents need to know that there's little cause for concern in this fun-filled -- if slightly exaggerated -- cartoon for grade-schoolers. Kids will certainly enjoy the characters' over-the-top antics and adventures, and (aside from said antics possibly inspiring grandiose ideas), there's no reason to worry about iffy messages. Mild peril is played for humor, and allusions are made to youthful crushes, but little of this content will be new to kids, and most are likely to overlook it when there's so much other fun stuff going on.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the role that exaggeration plays in comedy. Do storylines seem funnier when they're taken to extremes -- as in the case of Phineas and Ferb's many oversized schemes?
- Do you think plots based on exaggeration can ever impact viewers (particularly young ones) in a negative way? If so, how?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Add to that the unlikely plot twists -- which ensure that the boys' work remains under wraps -- and Perry's continued ability to outwit the humans around him, and it's easy to like this fast-paced cartoon. Parents can rest assured that while there's little attempt to teach obvious lessons here, the content is as innocuous as the premise is fun, making it a fine choice for grade-school viewers.

I am obsessed with this show! It is so cool! And it is definitely a perfect show for your kids, because they teach about imagination and excitement and its hilarious! And they have awesome music! The characters are excellent role models-except for Dr. Doofensmirtz LOL-and it sends very good messages to your kids.

Great for younger kids: Ages 6-12
I think that Phineas and Ferb is one of the best cartoon shows on TV. Its mixture of hilarity, action, and great characters is phenomenal. Though the basic storyline is repeated in most episodes, there is always something new going on. The messages are great, showing kids that having fun outside and spending time with their friends is a great idea. Also, an active imagination is greatly encouraged throughout the show. One of the best aspects of the show is the characters and their respective voices. The voice-overs bring a new dimension of fun and excitement to each episode. Overall, its a great show. Don't miss out!

Perfect!
I really love this show! Although it isn't educational, it is a very fun show for children of all ages. It is funny and smart and everyone in my family (including my 15 year old sister) agree that it is awesome! Phineas and Ferb is a show that is way different from other Disney shows. It is good for young kids and parents, and shows children that creativity and playing outside is good! Watch it!
