My review on Phineas and Ferb:

Ugh.... What a terrible show? How can people like this show or more importantly, why hasn't it been cancelled?

This is a terrible show...

I understand the plot but don't understand why the writers of this catashrophe of this horrid crap (that should have never seen daylight in the first place.) haven't been fired yet.

First off, the theme song is terrible... This theme song is so random and effortless that it is worst than The Mighty B theme! Then, there are the characters... How I hate them so much. I hate them all but which one should I choose to go first...

Phineas (never could spell that name right..) is too friggin happy and upbeat! It's annoying... No one in the reality or even in animation should be happy. He never gets angry or sad or frustrated. He is not real enough for even the most joyful person in the world to relate.

Then the Ferb, my favorite because he doesn't talk...like at all. He barely talks or express any other emotion. Just that big-eyed impassive stare. Does he ever blink?

Oh, there's Candice... How is she? 16? So, why does she act like she's 9 or 10. They could've made her a control freak while at the exact time, she focuses on other things (besides her crush.) like her social calendar or other things. Does she? No.... her entire life focus is to catch her little brothers doing something bad....whoa

And let's not forget that Dr. Smizzioforf (and no, I am not going to take the time to spell that right..) and that platypuss. I hate them both...so much....so friggin much. The platypuss talks less than Ferb does and yet, the evil but pitiful villian is still able to understand it. All that platypuss ever do is that anger stare and purrs. One more thing....I never did like that theme song for the evil villian trying to be funny..."Dr. Smizzoforf Inc.". It's wasn't funny the first time and repeating it only gets more annoying.

I'm not going into the extras but I can safely say that I hate the characters so much that I can't get into the story. Every single character on that sad and mediocre excuse for a show has such a monotonous personality. They only express one emotion and that's it! You aren't going to see Candice being nice or generous just bratty or Phenias crying (I would love to see that..)

Moving towards the plot.... I agree that they use the same script for every episode! This show is worse than Pokemon. It's the same plot and it doesn't have room to grow nor will it allows it.

In conclusion, Pheinas and Ferb is a mediocre that truly deserves an appalling rating. (oh, how I miss those days.). I never expect this review to go on so long or this show will last longer than what I expect. I hope that Disney will cancel it but knowing them...that probably won't happen...

I really regret not watching Avatar earlier.....

I should have watched Avatar but I just couldn't get into the series...

Kind of like....Will and Grace....8 years pass and the series finale didn't mean a thing to me until I watched the earlier episodes. Luckily, Avatar doesn't have as many episodes or 8 22-episode seasons..... So catching up should be simple.....

I think Avatar reminds much like 24.... a it's the writing style but it just does..... The season premiere of Avatar begins tonight...... I can wait because I wish it was a little bit longer like in September.....I should have watched it eariler...STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.....

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Original92.
Original92 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Original92 possibly have for not rating a single film?
