The first time I saw the main characters from Phineas & Ferb I thought they looked strange. One has a head shaped like a triangle and the other has pants pulled up practically to his armpits. These guys seemed…off. Then I watched an episode of the animated series (because I sat in the same room as my kids and the show was on) and I fell in love with this show. It’s funny, smart, and quirky. The music is outstanding, and I have a hard time choosing my favorite character.
