List of Phineas and Ferb episodes

The first season of the popular cartoon show Phineas and Ferb aired on Disney Channel. It started on August 17, 2007, and finished on February 8, 2009. This season introduces two step-brothers, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher. They are on summer vacation and try to make every day amazing. Their older sister, Candace Flynn, always tries to tell their parents about their big projects.

The main characters are Phineas, Ferb, Candace, their secret agent pet Perry the Platypus, and the funny bad guy Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Other characters you will see often include their neighbor Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. There is also the boys' mom Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and their dad Lawrence Fletcher. Perry's boss, Major Monogram, Jeremy Johnson, Baljeet, Buford Van Stomm, and Stacy Hirano also appear.

How the Show Was Made

Writing the Stories

The show's creators used four main writers to come up with ideas. They followed "strict guidelines" for the stories. For example, the boys' inventions never look like magic.

Story ideas were discussed every Monday. Then, the scripts and storyboards were made at the same time. A very basic plan was created first. It had simple scenes and dialogue. After that, the writers would show the storyboard to the whole team. They watched how everyone reacted to the jokes. This helped them decide what to change. The writers also added funny running jokes to almost every episode. These were usually lines that characters said often. Most episodes were split into two short parts, each about eleven minutes long.

Voice Actors

Vincent Martella is the voice of Phineas. Thomas Sangster voices Ferb. Thomas Sangster was one of many actors from Britain in the show. This is because one of the creators, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, lived in the United Kingdom for seven years. He really liked the people there.

Other voice actors include:

The show's creators, Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, also voiced characters. Dan Povenmire was Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh was Major Monogram. They were not listed in the credits for these roles.
