Why Phineas and Ferb Ended 

Phineas & Ferb has been renewed for 40 more episodes!!! Check out my video on the announcement! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yXWLeSPJ5sI.html

It ended because it wanted to go out high before being milked to death. Huge respect to them.

While I wish it was still airing, I’m still really glad P&F got a proper finale. Milo Murphy’s Law got completely trashed in that regard

"We still need to make season 5 in ten years if we want to." This line aged well.

I think the brilliance of Phineas and Ferb is that for a kid's show it actually has a pretty intelligent sense of humor. The adults can genuinely enjoy it as much as the kids do without the show getting dirty. I'm 25 now and I still love this show dearly because it continues to make me laugh to this day.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried when Phineas popped his head back around the door and waved goodbye

real reason why it ended: Candace got tired of screaming mom too much

8:26 came True almost 10 years later

Really, Phineas and Ferb's ending was amazing. But after everything, it's extremely sad. You're right about Act your age being the emotional ending. But in the Last Day Of Summer, I liked reviewing how much the characters have grown, and I think that in Quantum Boogaloo, it's really great that Isabella knows she'll marry Phineas, because it's the ending she always wanted, and the fact that Candace stops obsessing over her brothers means it's a happy ending for everyone. It would be epic if they made an episode that takes place after Act your Age and shows what happens with Phineas And Isabella at TriState State. Also an episode explaining how tf Ferb pulled a girl 6 years older than him lmfao. More Doof 101 would be great. That's just what I think personally.

This is actually the very first series finale to a cartoon I've seen, so it holds a special place in my heart. Sure, it doesn't really feel like a finale for the majority of the episode, but I still love it either way.

let's be honest, though; it didn't actually end. it loves on forever in our hearts

Looking back at this video on 2023 he was right about the “making another season in 10 years” joke

The whole coming back in 10 years aged like a fine wine considering that it's coming back

Rewatching the series last year made me realize just how melancholy the finale felt compared to the end of Rollercoaster the Musical in season 2, which was way more lively and epic. Weird

Comic strips seem to have the most job security. Peanuts lasted 50 years. Garfield has been around for over 40 years. Calvin and Hobbes lasted 10.

DAN JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THERE WILL BE 40 NEW EPISODES

11:44 was insane with the breaking of the fourth wall... it really made that less episode even more sad

When I watched Phineas and Ferb: Candace against the Universe I was so happy that even tho the show ended they were still able to bring a movie 8 years later hope they do it again with another show like Milo Murphy's Law

I would love it if Disney made Phineas & Ferb specials every now and then for Disney+. They don't have to be big movies or anything--just nice projects to keep the franchise alive.

Dan just announced 40 more episodes!

Underrated channel holy! insane quality video for a sub 50k channel I would only expect this quality from a channel of twice your size or even more. Great work man keep at it you're going to make it

Dan and Swampy made the right call in ending the show when they did. Meanwhile Fox just can't seem to let go of the Simpsons lol

This show is just pure entertainment. You can rewatch every episode just for fun. Even the special ones.

This series is unforgettable. It took about sixteen years to get it on the air in the first place, and then it had an amazing run. I believe that it ended in the best way possible (although it can definitely shape up to the Ed, Edd, n Eddy finale),

8:28 well that aged well

I’m really glad Nickelodeon didn’t pick up this show, because if they did, the show would have like 10 SEASONS

I would kill for another pass at Doof 101 (you know something small like a carrot). It was such a natural progression of everyone's characters, especially Heinz, to go into a new environment with with new adventures. Also the theme song was a bop. Alas one can only dream

11:25 thanks for putting this part, always makes me emotional I haven't enjoyed stuff past Last Day of Summer I know you can just place them back into the summer. But I don't like seeing them in new things. The golden age for me was 2007-2015 Super bias I know, I put Phineas and Ferb behind me so hard as a coping mechanism. I will still watch the new stuff but it won't ever be the same.

The first episode came out on my birthday. I still remember I watched that episode with my friends at my house. Surprisingly today I was talking with my friends about this cartoon and realised we still remember everything. But I was shocked after realizing that there are 4 seasons and I have only watched one season. Disney did us dirty by only showing 2 seasons in my country. 😭

Phineas and Ferb was lucky it lasted longer as it did. Now all Disney's animated shows last 3 seasons. And mostly all of them are all story driven arc shows.

Was rewatching Across The Second Dimension and it made me want to rewatch the whole show cause I know they’ll never be another show like this.

Phineas and ferb helped me through my life. When i stressed, i would always watch it to calm myself down. Phinead and ferb helped me so much and i am so grateful

I would greenlight MML for a 3rd season so it could finish its story, complete with another Phineas and Ferb crossover, and then greenlit the shelved Phineas and Ferb film the crew was working on before CATU as the 3rd movie with the franchise continuing to release more films and specials afterwards every few years or so.

The merch issue seems to be what's going on with Owl House and Amphibia [and somehow, Star Vs, despite how I think that's well after 65..]. No merch despite the popularity, no expansions to 65 episodes [especially for Owl House], it's odd.

I am so glad I grew up with P&F, because that show sparked my love for engineering and manufacturing, and is a huge part of why I decided to pursue welding as a career.

In 20 years time, hope Phineas and Ferb came out again for a speech like Steve from Blue's clues, to talk about how being an adult is great and its okay to be creative That would hit us in the feels so hard

God, this show meant so much to me. I can't even put it into words. I watched *every* episode the day they came out (or the day they leaked). Long after all of my peers had lost interest, I was shamelessly watching it all the way to late middle school when it ended. I'm glad it ended when it did - I think it was definitely running out of steam - but the absolute HYPE from that opening 'Ferbruary' launch has never left my soul and never will.

Phineas and Ferb didn’t end, it just got pregnant and decided to make a family.

this show was actually my one and only childhood entertainment. when i was kid my mom made a strict rule to only be able watch tv for one hour so we won't binge watching tv. and luckily, every weekdays disney put 2 shows (1 show for 30 minute. this is how it worked in my country) i realllyyy love it and it brings so much sentimental memories because every song had one exact moment that linked to my childhood memory. and when the show ended i was crying like crazy because i feel like my childhood really was over that day. i will never ever ever forget this show

I rewatched the whole show last year cuz I forgot so many episodes from when I was a kid but remembered a few and they were still legendary, when I saw the finale it felt like a huge chunk of my heart just chipped off because this show is amazing and I’m glad we got to see it

I wish P&F renewed for Season 5, but I'm really glad they got a new movie called Candace Against the Universe 5 years after the show ended. I'm hoping that a 3rd movie is still in development.

I think at this point i’ve had my fill on standard 11 minute Phineas and Ferb episodes. As much as I love season 4 by the end to me it felt like the writers were going through burnout in terms of having to keep coming up with imaginative fun stuff for the kids to build. I think movies are the way to go when it comes to continuing Phineas and Ferb (so long as they have better animation consistency). I don’t think the show could really go back to its classic formula (especially when season 4 was a huge deviation from that in its second half) so huge adventures with big action set pieces that also act as an in-depth analysis of the series iconic characters is the way to go. Ideally i’d like to see a new Disney+ original Phineas and Ferb movie every 2-3 years. Maybe also do a 40 minute Christmas special. Just give us a new Phineas and Ferb project every few years that keeps the franchise alive and relevant while not interfering with Dan and Swampy’s other projects. Also obviously bring back Milo Murphy’s Law to give it some sort of ending but that’s gonna be a challenge.

The episode when they went to college made me so sad. It was such a fun show to wake up on a summer morning and watch all morning. also, this comment was made days after the new announcement of the new seasons lol.

I’m glad that the final was actually really good. I wish there was a rerun for when they go to college. But after the last day of summer I felt my heart break when I heard the door close 😭

"Why did if end as soon as it did?" Me laughing knowing it lasted an entire generation of kids by lasting nine years

Thanks so much for the shoutout, and glad to see my feedback was helpful! It's so fascinating to see how this series continues to live on in unique ways over five years after its official end. Who knows what's next? Excited for us to find out!

Who started crying when they saw all the characters growing up and the special thanking us for the journey and all we have supported them to the end of the journey. I love Phineas And Ferb.

Thanks a lot for this, this is really informative.

Not only was Phineas and Ferb airing slow as f**k, but season 4 started airing in the Summerween-Boss Mabel hiatus of Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls’s gaps were FAR more infamous. So these were happening simultaneously, and while 2015 had P&F’s final three specials, Gravity Falls aired 12 of the 21 half hours in 2015, and none of them aired in consecutive weeks. There were 4 weeks between Weirdmageddon parts 1 & 2, and then nearly THREE MONTHS between part 2 and the hourlong finale. How the hell did we deal exactly? I think I repressed a lot

Actually That's So Raven was the first to break the 65 episode rule, with season 3 having 35 episodes and surpassing 78 episodes. It's sad how people don't acknowledge how it made history

I love your video so much the second dimension keep up the good work man

Still watch the first episode of Phineas and Ferb sometimes I really miss them truly I do

One movie idea I have for them would to make a Ferb movie. Because we’ve gotten episodes where the other characters are the main purpose but never Ferb.

That Owl House/Milo Murphy’s Law image and enraged grunt combo combo is me whenever I think about Amphibia’s lack of merchandise

I remember when dog with a blog with air immediately after Phineas and Ferb, or the other way around. Two of my favorite shows at the time airing back to back was the best way I could have thought of to air those two shows.

“plenty of episodes to rerun” except i’ve watched them all so many times and i must have more 😭😭😭😭😭

6:50 also, this is just more proof that Disney would have greenlit the show for season 5 if Dan and Swampy hadn’t decided that they wanted to give the show a proper conclusion. For some reason a lot of people don’t believe me when I tell them that and they still think that Disney canceled the show even though Dan and Swampy wanted to do more. But in reality it was the exact opposite of that.

If Phineas and Ferb started up again, I would 100% watch it. That was my childhood. I am sad it is over.

I have a friend that said Summer Belongs To You would've also been a decent ending to the show. While I disagree because of what came after, honestly if they chose to end it with that episode I wouldn't be upset. After all, that's a pretty good special. And the final song of that episode has a good message that applies to both the show and to life in general, so it definitely would've been a good sendoff for the show!

Growing up, i always watched phineas and ferb along with uncle grandpa, takeshi's castle, Clarence and many more. These shows are really nostalgic for me

Phineas: waves goodbye Me: cries

How would you like to see Phineas and Ferb continue?

Dan is such a fun dude, I haven’t seen the other creator of P&F, but Dan is one of my favorite tv directors, producers, etc.

Seeing why Phineas and Ferb ended and looking back at some old clips makes sad and crying abt how much I missed it 😢 😔 😭 😪

Well it's still living through Milo series and Dan's Tiktoks lol

To be honest, when I rewatched the show recently, I felt like they were really running out of ideas in the final season, and most of the episodes were OK and not funny, which is not close to the bar the show set in seasons 1-3, which were great, with season 2 being my favorite. I did enjoy the finale, and I'm happy it ended before it actually became trash. I haven't watched the specials and movies which came out after the OWCA files, but if they want to get that cash, I think releasing a special episode or movie every few years is better for the series' reputation than a full reboot. It's not too late for Meap Me in St. Louis. By the way, is it just me or every P&F content that came after the finale focused on Candace or Doofenshmirtz?

Are you making a sequel called “Why Phineas And Ferb Came Back”?

8:26 this aged perfectly

I'm honestly surprised that the show that broke the rule was Kim Possible and not Phineas and Ferb. Now I'm not even surprised people barely supported Wander over Yonder

3:42 This KILLED ME. What would have killed me harder was if Amphibia was also there. But, I'm pretty sure there will be Funko Pops for Amphibia and The Owl House next year! I wasn't part of the P&F fandom back when it was airing (Or a few other of my favorite shows) and going through the pain of crappy scheduling sounds really painful. And for the reason Phineas and Ferb ended..... yeah. That sounds like Disney.

I remember the last day of summer like it was yesterday. I also remember shedding a tear as one of the shows i had been watching every morning since the start of secondary school was ending (the other's were lab rats and mighty med).

People act like the 65 episode rule is bad... but frankly, it also guarantees that the shows will be able to focus on quality rather than being dragged out and ruined. Endings bring closure... it's better for a show to end than for it to be cut...

I would just love to see a 3rd season of Milo Murphy's Law.

Okay, a few things: 2:28 You have to use that whenever you can. IT’S SO FUNNY Also, I wish a lot of other cartoons had an episode like “Act Your Age” since it is so emotional. And if Milo Murphy’s Law isn’t getting a season 3, there should at least be a special episode that properly concludes the series. Also, when The Ghost and Molly McGee premiers October 1st, maybe you can do a video on that?

I was a child when this series started and and a teenager when it ended in 2015 I remembered it has the summer special of 100 episodes I never watched the last episode of until today because I never wanted it to be over and to be this one of the last childhood shows that I had once my Disney channel was done and the next generations started.

"We're still able to make season 5 if we want to in like 10 years" That aged like fine wine

Every show's worst nightmares "Corporate expectations"

5:41 I completely agree. Season 4 is my favorite season because it has all of my favorite episodes.

This video made me realize that streaming services are going to completely change the nature of television shows. Finally, no more restrictions and burdens imposed from the strict 30-minute schedules of TV programming. It's a whole different world for entertainment now

The fact RU-vid suggests this video the same day I found out Phineas and Ferb is getting more episodes lol

This was such a delight to watch, nearly brought a tear to my eye with the trip down memory lane. I was pretty much 16 when the show came out, I turn 30 this month, so my memory on the beginning of the series is more fresh than someone who watched it when they were little. I can still remember the day Rollercoaster aired clearly, actually seeing that in the video with Ashley Tisdale talking about P&F hit me in the feels. I remember that night & seeing Disney hyping up the series & strangely enough, I was disgusted by it. I remember them talking more so on the voice cast & all that & I couldn't get a good idea for what to expect from the show so 15 year old me was thinking the show sounded stupid & was hoping my little sister would change the channel when it came on. Actually, the story for me behind P&F's premiere is an interesting one, I love retelling it. My mom, sister, & I were on vacation to go fossil digging & rock hunting in place I had never been to before & never revisited since but I should go back sometime. We were staying at this cruddy motel like it was rundown, in a bad neighborhood, & the staff there were rude. My mom told the front desk worker about our toilet being clogged & he told her to stop flushing feminine products down there. It was clogged because tiny toilet plus big number 2 does not work. The spot specifically we were in was bad but I'm sure there's better places to stay. Down the street was this gas station with a little shop so I figured I'd walk down there to get some candy. It gave me something to do, we weren't going digging that day so I was bored. There's an apartment complex across the street & their mailbox was out at the sidewalk. I walked by it on my way to the gas station & this man was getting his mail & he complimented me, saying I look pretty & whatnot & he asked me where I was heading. I told him that I was just walking & he offered to give me a ride. Uhh yeah, no. This is like one of those scenarios right out of those cheesy stranger danger videos they made us watch in school, I knew that this was a dicey situation, I'm not dumb. I told him no but he tried to convince me & I was trying to hammer in that I was just walking & didn't need a ride anywhere. Eventually he gave up asking & I continued walking down but he was following me, I would look back & one of the times he asked "what?" I didn't give him an answer & just picked up my speed. I got to a crosswalk, pushed the button, then looked back in a panic, worried that he might be there but he was gone. I had decided that I would go hide out at the gas station, maybe tell the clerk at the counter my situation. I didn't want him to know I was staying at the motel so I was too scared to run back there. As soon as it told me I could walk, I started running & flipped open my phone & rapidly started punching in my mom's number so that I could inform her on what was going on. One thing to note, when I was still walking & he was following, I did pass by the entrance to the parking lot for the apartment complex, it was small & only a few cars were there, one to note was this warn down, beat up looking pickup truck. When I got to the gas station, I saw that truck in the parking lot there which was odd because I swear I remembered seeing it at the apartment complex & inside, talking to the clerk, was that same man from before. Thankfully, my mom pulled up & I hopped into her car. Later that night, I was too scared to leave the room so I was stuck watching High School Musical 2 with my mom & little sister. I wanted to watch something different but my mom insisted we watched that. I know many people are fans of the high school musical movies but I was like right at that age where it was cool to make fun of them when they came out. I was apart of the teens group who made fun of Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Justin Bieber, & anything the preteens were into those days pretty much. It's like when you're around 7 & make fun of Barney & other baby shows but for teens in the 2000's. Obviously, I don't feel the same way anymore, I'm grown now but for young me, this was torture. I hated every second of what was going on & Phineas & Ferb was the thing that I thought would make it worse but no, it completely saved that night, that entire day for me. When Rollercoaster started, it was just the absolute best thing, I was laughing & enjoying myself. I remember the very moment we saw Perry sneaking off, I made a crack about him being a secret agent & then as it turns out, he is! Perry was like the very first thing I noticed in this show pretty much because I was a weird kid who thought that platypusses were super cool so seeing one in an animated show brought me such joy. I learned what a platypus was thanks to this Magic School Bus video game I played as a kid but I felt like I was one of the few who knew about them because I stumbled into knowing by complete accident with the animal creator thingy in the back of the bus, I liked trying to make animals that obviously didn't exist so when I made a platypus, I was in shock it was real. Perry is what got me hooked into the series but I think the timing of the show really hammered this one in as being one of my favorite series. It started right around the same time my favorite series of all time ended over on Nickelodeon, Danny Phantom. I was on vacation so I was stuck sharing a TV with my sister, by this point in time I wasn't really watching Disney Channel anymore but still did watch Toon Disney for the childhood shows I grew up with. Almost getting kidnapped was a boost, I was terrified & did not want to leave that room at all, I was so scared that he might of figured out where I was & was just waiting for me to leave so he could follow me. So having something this positive during such a negative day was exactly what I needed. Due to entering in early, I was there for it all pretty much. In 2008, I joined a P&F forum over at the TV website. Yes, hi Roy if you're reading this, this is exactly who you think it is. I was known for my extra long posts. We did discuss things on our minds related to the series, we were wondering if it would abide by the episode limit rule or if it would keep going. We also questioned Phineas' voice potentially changing since his VA was a kid at the time & well, we knew his voice would get deeper so it's relief that he could still sound like Phineas. I remember Tip of the Day being a major troll move & we all loved it for that, that episode is like an injoke or a you had to be there moment. So many memories associated with this series, definitely a positive light & I love that it's been there through the years. Wow, been there for nearly half my life, not quite yet. My birthday is September 27th so I turned 16 one month & ten days after Rollercoaster aired. Kinda trippy I can easily reference the day I was nearly kidnapped due to it being the same one as when P&F aired. Also, was there for Milo Murphy's Law since the beginning. I cosplayed as Dr. Doofenshmirtz to Rose City Comicon in 2015 & when I got Olivia Olson's autograph, she asked me if I knew about the new show from Dan & Swampy. I think it had a different name during that time, I wrote down the name but I doubt I still have the paper, I did so in order to look it up when I got home. I was still using a flip phone in 2015 so I couldn't look it up there. I remember not being able to find out much details on it but there were a few things here & there & it stayed on my radar & when they dropped the first episode on their official youtube channel, probably saw it like 50 times over, I could not wait to get the next episode.

I remember when the new episodes in the later seasons felt really spaced out. There would be one new episode every 4 months. Similar to how Spongebob in the late 2010s would do like a week of new episodes once a year. Recently they started releasing a bunch of them.

I move to the USA before the last season started and I didn’t understand the last season on English tv. I just watched the whole show with my lil siblings and I had so much nostalgia and fun.

8:26 its so funny to me that that is exactly what’s happening

I might have a controversial opinion here, but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did. Honestly, I almost think it could've ended a season earlier. Don't get me wrong, I freaking loved that show for it's whole run, but the later seasons felt a little empty, I guess, compared to the earlier seasons, as if the show was running out of funding and they had to constantly downscale the background characters and what not. I still think the show ended on a relatively high note though.

I’v watched this show since I was a kid and it’s never gotten old; Always brings nostalgia feelings to our modern world. Never forget this show!

Dude that ending makes me cry every time. I loved this show growing up and still do. Can't wait for the next two seasons

It’s so weird because I still remember when Phineas and Ferb first came out. It got to a point where I stopped watching it as much simply because of how much it played plus I had greater interest in Cartoon Network at the time. That’s why it hit a lil different when it stopped playing that much on Disney. U don’t realize what u had until it’s gone💯

I feel like finales are under appreciated a lot, so many shows don’t get to have them so it’s so nice when they do :)

"Everything has to end sometime. Else no one would get anything done."

I didnt get to see the last episode, but phineas and ferb was my fav show i do miss coming home from school and watching it.

When you said So The Drama was such a big hit it kept the show alive, I feel proud now. I saw it on premiere day and didn't think too much of it then. It was just another part of the show for me at the time.

Ya know tbh when PaF Candace against the universe came out, it really took me back from when I use to watch new episodes from the series.

I actually LOVED Act Your Age, it felt like a more appropriate series finale than Last Day of Summer did

I wish I watched Phineas and Ferb more when I was younger. Looking back, it was amazing. I miss it 🥺

The Last Summer special was so emotional for me and it still gives me goose bumps when the finale song ends

Disney shows don't last long for some reason. They used to have the 65 episode rule. They stuck to it no matter how popular the show is. Kim Possible was one of the first shows to break it. It was brought back because of fan petitions. The 65 episode rule is technically gone they still don't let them last long. It's silly.

I was a wreck when the finale came out. A show that I held so close to my heart and grew to be my favorite show ever was ending. But it went out on such a good note. I was happy the show got to have an “end” to it but I was equally excited to see them return on MML and even happier when Candace Against The Universe was announced.

Funny because today, Dan Povenmire revealed in a RU-vid Short that he would be working on 40 more brand new Phineas and Ferb episodes along with Hamster and Gretel.

THIS VIDEO IS AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY 😭😭. I love how you put the timeline together and explained everything!!!! (and you described the pre-act your age hype/frustration at leaks so well, that part took me back🥲)
