Most TV revivals are not good. They exist only for the cynical purpose of exploiting a familiar title, not because there is some new story in a particular world. A good TV show is a product of a specific time in the life of a character in the show, the people who perform and the people who watch it at home. Changing one or more of them usually does not work.
Of course there are exceptions. The passage of time has strengthened in some ways Roseanne/Conners and At the partyas they showcase people who meet the terrible financial strait and revisit them in a worse economy, making comic bets clearer. and Twin Peaks: Reward It became a masterpiece because traditional storytelling rules have never been applied to David Lynch.
It's Disney now Phineas and Ferbreturn in the first new season in a decade. The Family TV Classics are animated because the characters don't have to age (although they're very slight), which is helpful. More importantly, it's a show that is both timeless and formulaic, so it can return in any era, like it always acts, and nothing seems to be wrong.
As the infectious bowling of the soup theme song has long explained, the title character – a step brother in a mixed family (speaked by Vincent Martella and Vincent Brodie-Sangster, respectively, who live in a tri-state area that wants to be named – has 104 days of summer, fills 104 days of summer, and has unlimited imagination skills, what they want, what they want. In the various plots of the original series, they travel through time and space, build the world’s largest roller coaster, and design an airplane that allows them to bypass the earth on an incredibly long summer day, always staying under the sunset. Their sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale) is fascinated by their mother Linda (Caroline) Rhea's boys' wild and dangerous works fascinate them. Each plot has a sub-picture, the family's pet Plato, who secretly works as a spy, has been working hard to prevent the "evil" (actually, annoying) plan of poor mad scientist Heinz doofenshmirtz (played by the show's co-creator Dan Povenmire). Inevitably, Doof's latest gadget (always with the suffix "-intor") somehow eliminates Linda's intersecting evidence of the boy's latest plan.
That's it: the same idea, with two story repetitions per episode, airing nearly 140 episodes that have been aired over the past eight years. But Povenmire, the genius of co-creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and what the company has done in these eight years is that they gradually transform this rigid formula into their own strengths. Once the audience learns that no matter how different the invention is, the same story beats are played every week in the same rough order, the more fun the show is. Sometimes it involves characters becoming aware of those recurring metaphors, such as Candace ultimately decides that there is some general force to stop Linda from seeing what the boy is doing, or Doofenshmirtz notices when Perry is late or otherwise not following his usual routine. In other shows, the show found ways to subvert its own formula while sticking to it somehow. in one classic episode, Candace and Doof's teenage daughter Vanessa (Olivia Olson) swap outfits after a dry cleaner mix-up, and as a result, the usual A-story/B-story structure gets flipped, so that it's Doof with a big idea (trying to build his own floating island nation), while the boys build an -inator (albeit one with a benign purpose, to show a friend what they think will be her first rainbow).
The only part is the fact that the show ended in 2015 is certain, and it was the last day of a wonderful summer vacation. When the team reunited briefly in 2020 movie Canders against the universethis story was earlier that summer. In fact, even a 104-day summer, there are much more personal stories. At some point, the story needs to move forward, even a little bit

There is another episode of 2015, "ACT Your Age", which is set for 10 years in the future, and the boy and his friends prepare to go to college. But there is nothing in it that can severely limit the stories of children’s lives today.
This is basically what this fifth season does. We started on the last day of the school year, as Phineas just finished all his adventures, Ferb, Alyson Stoner), Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy) and Buford (Bobby Gaylor) all last summer. The bell rang, there was a music number - because there was always an optimistic music number in each episode - and then a new summer began. When we finally let the bowling open episode 2, the lyrics of the theme song now state: "104 days left for summer vacation" and everything else is the same. The show is correct. Theoretically, the kids are a little older, but the only way is that some actors are getting deeper and deeper. (Martella is now in her thirties and he re-recorded some lines in the opening honors, so they are more consistent with the voice of Phineas today; Jr. Ferb now has Javid Errigo Jr.'s voice, but he rarely speaks, you hardly notice it.) The show is self-aware without verbalizing. When Perry bumped into Doofenshmirtz Evil, Inc. When the headquarters, as usual, to learn about his enemies’ latest plans in the first episode, Duff admitted: “I know, today’s Inator is a bit basic. But I deliberately started to slow down.” That classroom music numbers include Phineas acknowledged that they set up the premium bar last summer, while insisting: “I’m confident we can join ourselves somehow.”In fact, the bars are very tall. The original run is one of the greatest kids/family/animated comedy ever. With one exception, there is nothing in the five episodes I've seen that can violate the best of the 2000s/2010s batch. However, the series is able to return after ten years (give or participate)
Canders against the universe ), still feels that I am an amazing achievement. From the last season or so, these new episodes are more like the last season when the creative team is increasingly struggling to lean on the boundaries of formulas and focus more on supporting the characters. There are several stories this time, and there aren't even Phineas and Ferb, including Candace's best friend Stacy (Kelly Hu) who knows that Perry is indeed a secret agent's idea. . The best in this group (belongs to the original stratosphere) is a bigger experiment, with the kids building a huge Zoetrope, Buford dubbed "Tropey McTropeface" as "Tropey McTropeface" and going on a delightful series of adventures, including a romance running with the local, a company lover accompanied by an unexpected professional musical patron. It would be the weirdest new work if it weren't for a joke to change from the old plot - for some reason, for some reason, the life-size of all other characters, for the purpose unknown - this in some way makes Buford wear both Candace Skin Suit and Linda Skina suit throughout the plot.
