Phineas and Ferb is an American animated musical comedy television
series created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh for Disney
Channel and Disney XD. Produced by Disney Television Animation, the
series was originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17,
2007, and again previewed on September 28, 2007, the series officially
premiered on February 1, 2008, on Disney Channel, running until June
12, 2015. The program follows Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb
Fletcher on summer vacation. Every day, the boys embark on some grand
new project; these are usually unrealistic given the protagonists'
ages (and are sometimes downright physically impossible), which annoys
their controlling older sister, Candace, who frequently tries to
reveal their shenanigans to her and Phineas' mother, Linda
Flynn-Fletcher, and less frequently to Ferb's father, Lawrence
Fletcher. The series follows a standard plot system: running gags
occur every episode, and the b-plot almost always features Phineas and
Ferb's pet platypus Perry the Platypus working as a spy (named "Agent
P") for OWCA (the Organization Without a Cool Acronym), to defeat the
latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist driven
largely by a need to assert his evilness (although he is not
especially evil and has a good heart in some situations). The two
plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project
just before Candace can show it to their mother. This usually leaves
Candace very frustrated.Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
had previously worked together on Fox's The Simpsons and Nickelodeon's
Rocko's Modern Life. The creators also voice two of the main B-plot
characters: Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Phineas and Ferb was
conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy â€" the prototype
for Phineas â€" in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the
series concept together and pitched it to networks for 16 years before
securing a run on Disney Channel.The show follows the adventures of
stepbrothers Phineas Flynn (Vincent Martella) and Ferb Fletcher
(Thomas Sangster), who live in the fictional city of Danville, in a
(never specified) tri-state area, as they seek ways to occupy their
time during their summer vacation. Often these adventures involve
elaborate, life-sized and ostensibly dangerous construction projects.
Phineas's older sister, Candace Flynn (Ashley Tisdale), has two
obsessions: "busting" Phineas and Ferb's schemes and ideas, and
winning the attention of a boy named Jeremy (Mitchel Musso).
Meanwhile, the boys' pet platypus, Perry, acts as a secret agent for
an all-animal government organization called the O.W.C.A.
("Organization Without a Cool Acronym"), fighting Dr. Heinz
Doofenshmirtz.
