Finding Mary McGuffin

The point I was making was why I did not like this episode, which I made clear, as well as the reasons why, and won't repeat myself.

And Frag......if you read through my posts, you would better understand where I was coming from, which I made ABUNDANTLY clear in my last two posts with regards to the episode, since I was more elaborate as to my reasons for not liking this episode, more than the reaon that you mentioned, with hopes that the creators do a better job in making episodes that people would WANT to turn on the televsion and watch.

There.......we can now start disussing other important points with regards to this episode.

You know, Roy and all, one would never think that Doofenshmirtz even had a good side, but I did find the part where he actually cared about Vanessa kind of cool. For once, Vanessa was pretty happy, whereas most of the time, she is pretty grumpy, especailly around her dad.

Nice song; Olivia hasn't gotten many turns to sing, and this is the first… yeah, the first that's a solo performance, which was also nice.

Not the first one; "I'm Me" from "Vanessasary Roughness" was the first one, I think.

Yeah, he tried to do the whole birthday party thing in 'Dude We're Getting The Band Back Together'....but obviously that didn't work out as well as this did. I liked this episode overall, especially the parts where they were parodying detective shows. Cracked me up.

You're right Roy, but Ferb wasn't actually singing on that track. That's why I thought it was a solo performance.

So far, this is my favorite of the new episodes. I thought it was awesome.

Well, the ending of the show has someone doing something nasty, in this case, rudely stealing a doll from a girl's hand. I dont think that is something likeable. Sure, it is a departure from the norm, which we need for the show, but that one really got me like "what?".

I didn't read the large argument following this comment, so excuse me if I'm repeating things already said, but the nice thing about that ending was that it didn't try to send some big message about how material things don't really matter and it's the thought that counts and blah blah blah. I was actually surprised Disney let that happen... I thought it was going to end with Vanessa explaining what happened to Candace and Candace deciding to let her have it. I much prefer how it actually ended.

And Vanessa's relationship with her dad in this episode was... aww.

"They printed the words upside down! I mean, what kind of dummkopf would-- ohhh."

Vanessa simply stole the doll to impress her father, as that is what he would've done in the same situation. I'd be surprised if the Disney company started altering episodes just because they're afraid of the audience's reactions.

You mean like Little Shop of Horrors? Except that was a piece of art about someone sacrificing others for his own purposes, and Phineas and Ferb is the exact opposite of all food for thought. Anyways, this was a FUN episode! Doof being proud of Vanessa for upsetting a little girl, "WHAT KIND OF IDIOT MAKES A SWITCH UPSIDE DOWN!", and Phineas and Ferb doing their detective shtick. Gotta love the narration gags. CLASSIC.

"Would you boys like to come in for some apple juice?"
"That would be nice, ma'am."
That was a funny gag, but in today's overly cautious world, I'm surprised that got in.

MY FAVOURATE EPISODE, with two of my favourate P+F jokes:

"Yes, yes we...are." BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---DOOFENMERTZ EVIL INCORPORATED!"

"What kind of a dumbcoif makes a switch upside down? It really... I DID IT!"
