Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb


About:

Phineas and Ferb is an animated show on Disney XD. Phineas and Ferb are smart little guys, always coming up with insane inventions and creations that would get any other child into trouble. Phineas and Ferb are always getting away with their hijinks because despite the fact that their older sister Candace always catches them in the act, Phineas and Ferb somehow are always able to fix things and clean up before their mom or dad catches them. The show is hilarious, with Phineas and Ferb creating time machines and even monster truck racing tracks in their backyard.

Review:

This is a great, wholesome show for tweens. However, I do see it mainly appealing to younger tweens. The show is actually funny enough to where a parent can watch the show with a tween and not feel like jumping off of a tall building (I write from experience). The content of the show is age appropriate and family friendly, which is my favorite thing about it. I think tweens will enjoy the mischief that Phineas and Ferb get into and out of during the show. I see lots of 5th and 6th graders with Phineas and Ferb backpacks and folders, so I'm pretty sure the show is popular with at least some in the tween age group. Disney XD is really marketed towards the tweens, trying to separate itself from regular Disney (and shows like Handy Manny).

Ages:  I can't really think of an age that the show would be inappropriate for. However, interest and/or understanding would probably start at about 7, and the appeal lasting up until late tweens/early teens (maybe longer).
