Right now you can watch Phineas and Ferb in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus and fuboTV — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 5-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 1,034 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Vincent Martella — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Phineas and Ferb is worth clearing space for. Phineas and Ferb gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Each day, two kindhearted suburban stepbrothers on summer vacation embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who tries to bust them. Meanwhile, their pet platypus plots against evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Vincent Martella and David Errigo Jr. Lead a cast that never overplays a joke. The series ran for 5 seasons (2007–2026), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Phineas and Ferb earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Phineas and Ferb respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to I Am Groot will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Vincent Martella sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
