Storyline

- TriviaThe elevator music is Phinea and the Ferb-tones' one hit wonder featured in the episode "Flop Starz."
- GoofsThe creators seem to have mistaken the term "suckling pig" for "sucking pig". A delivery man carrying a live pig is chastised because it is "barely suckling", and responds by stuffing an apple in its mouth (a la a roast whole pig), which it immediately sucks on. However, a "suckling pig" is not one that is sucking on something, but rather a piglet young enough to still be nursing on its mother's milk, generally less than six weeks old.

Featured review
Renaissance fairs and robot duplicates
When 'Phineas and Ferb' first started to air, Disney Channel was nowhere near as good as it used to be and still isn't. Instead of the likes of the animated Disney shows of the 80s and 90s, most of it was and still is animated shows with childish humour and Disney Channel sitcoms and unfortunately it tended to not be the good ones. This continued throughout the whole of 'Phineas and Ferb's' run to the extent that this became one of the few shows airing on the Channel worth watching.
"A Hard Day's Knight" and "I, Brobot" are good examples of why. Neither are among the best, or at least among my favourite, 'Phineas and Ferb' episodes, but both are very good with lots of great things. "A Hard Day's Knight" really did remind me of the imaginary medieval games my brother used to like doing and "I, Brobot" made the most out of the show's most creative concepts that one can likely relate to.
Both episodes were a touch manic in the pace at times, which was not unusual actually for 'Phineas and Ferb'.
Other episodes also have stronger Perry and Doofenschmirtz subplots, ones that are more imaginative, more wonderfully nuts and more of a storyline rather than more a series of jokes like they were in particularly "I, Brobot".
Not that that is a massively bad thing, as they are still very entertaining and there are some lovely little touches with Perry and Doofenschmirtz's lines always bring a smile to the face. The animation is still wonderfully vibrant with very rich attention to detail. 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.
The writing is sharp, intelligent, very funny and clever, some of the best lines in particularly "I, Brobot" going to Doofenschmirtz. Did like though too the poking fun of Phineas and Ferb themselves in the writing there in "I, Brobot". Once again, the right balance of being easy to understand for children while not being too juvenile for adults is successful. The stories for both episodes are great, that for "A Hard Day's Knight" is very nostalgic and "I, Brobot" as said takes a creative premise and manages to not make it too ordinary. The characters and voice acting are all on point.
All in all, very well done and enjoyable if not 'Phineas and Ferb' at its best. 8/10
