'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through many tough periods during its run. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth watching. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best.
"Nerdy Dancin" is a very amusing and cute episode, with a relatable and not cheesy situation. And it is always great when Phineas and Ferb show willingness to help others, in this case an unlikely person. For me, the more creative and funnier episode, helped by that the premise has more imagination and fairly different for 'Phineas and Ferb', is "Picture This". Both of them are brilliant in every way and has everything that makes me love the show.
The animation is full of vibrant colour, quirky character designs and meticulous attention to detail in the backgrounds. Especially in "Picture This", though the dancing looks suitably fluid. The music is dynamic with the action and the theme song is insanely catchy with very clever and quotable lyrics that anybody still in school fishing for how to spend their vacation will relate to.
Both episodes are wonderfully written. "Picture This" is particularly clever. They are equally wonderful on this front, very intelligent, never juvenile or confused and often very funny to hilarious. The stories are engaging and have a lively energy, both equally good but "Picture This" scores higher on the imaginative/creativity factor. The show does centre around one basic formula on the whole, but it has nearly always been very successful at having enough variety in the plots and adventures to avoid it from being repetitive. Love Phineas and Ferb's inventions.
Doofenschmirtz's subplots in both episodes are a lot of fun. One including the weirdest way of getting rid of mimes to exist. All the characters are on point as are the interactions (Perry and Doofenschmirtz together are gold and that has always been the case) and the voice acting.
In summary, brilliant. 10/10.
