Phineas and Ferb

''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. The series originally aired on the networks for four seasons between 2007 and 2015, and returned for the first of two additional seasons in 2025. The series follows stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, who construct a grand project or embark on an adventure each day to make the most of their time on summer vacation, to the annoyance of Phineas' older sister Candace Flynn. Candace's attempts to expose their schemes to her mother always fail due to the fights between local evil scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and the boys' secret agent pet Perry the Platypus inadvertently removing all evidence of their work. The series follows a standard plot system, with several running gags occurring each episode.

Povenmire and Marsh conceived the characters while working together on animated programs ''The Simpsons'' and ''Rocko's Modern Life'' in the 1990s, and were inspired by the summers of their own childhoods. They developed the series together and pitched it to networks for 16 years before successfully selling it to The Walt Disney Company. ''Phineas and Ferb'' is produced by Disney Television Animation, and was originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17, 2007, following the premiere of the made-for-television film ''High School Musical 2''. It again previewed on September 28, 2007, and officially premiered on Disney Channel on February 1, 2008. The series originally concluded on June 12, 2015, before two new seasons were ordered in January 2023, with the fifth season premiering on Disney Channel on June 5, 2025, and on Disney+ the following day.

''Phineas and Ferb'' is one of Disney Channel's most successful animated franchises.
