REVIEW: PHINEAS AND FERB “FERB TV”

Phineas and Ferb create their own TV shows and commercials.

Spoilers Below

Phineas and Ferb create a cable called Ferb TV which features many TV shows that parody real shows. Baljeet stars in a show called Doctor Ninja Baljeet which is sort of like a House/9th Grade Ninja thing, Buford stars in a cooking show called Your Food Stinks and So Do You and Suzy that fans of Hell’s Kitchen will enjoy, Jeremy and Norm appear in a sitcom named That’s the Norm which acts as your typical buddy comedy. Meap stars in a commercial for Meap’s Carbonated Goulash which looks gross. Finally, Roger Doofenshmirtz appears in a show called Katt-Karr which is kind of a take on Knight Rider but not only can the car talk, but it acts like a cat which makes crime-fighting all that more difficult.

Overall, I loved the concept. If you have ever seen Seth MacFarlane’s Calvalcade of Cartoon Comedy you have a pretty good idea what you are getting into except “Ferb TV” has all your favorite characters minus Dr. Doof. John Viener as Norm is always a winner providing probably the funniest of all the skits. The great Ray Liotta resurfaces as Roger in an awesome short called Katt-Kar that sees the car chasing after mouse cars and coughing up fur balls! However, a few of the bits like Doctor Ninja and Meap’s Goulash didn’t do much for me. That said, you have to appreciate the change of pace and this was a really good one.
