''Phineas and Ferb'' is an American animated comedy-musical television series. Originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17, 2007 and again previewed on September 28, 2007, the series officially premiered on February 1, 2008 on Disney Channel, and follows Phineas Flynn and his English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher on summer vacation. Every day, the boys embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who frequently tries to reveal their shenanigans to her and Phineas' mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and less frequently to Ferb's father, Lawrence Fletcher. The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the b-plot almost always features Perry the Platypus working as a spy ("Agent P") for OWCA (the Organization Without a Cool Acronym), to defeat the latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist driven largely by a need to assert his evilness. Sometimes, other villains scoff at his level of evil. The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project just before Candace can show it to their mother. This usually leaves Candace very frustrated. Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh worked together on the Fox series ''The Simpsons'' and Nickelodeon series ''Rocko's Modern Life''. The creators also voice two of the main B-plot characters: Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. ''Phineas and Ferb'' was conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy – the prototype for Phineas – in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the series concept together and pitched it to networks for 16 years before securing a run on Disney Channel.〔 The series is also known for its musical numbers, which have appeared in almost every episode since the first-season "Flop Starz". Disney's managers particularly enjoyed the episode's song, "Gitchee, Gitchee Goo", and requested that a song appear in each subsequent episode. The show's creators write and record each number, and vary musical tempo depending on each song's dramatic use.〔 The music has earned the series a total of four Emmy nominations: in 2008 for the main title theme and for the song "I Ain't Got Rhythm" from the episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together",〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Results for Disney nominations in 2008 )〕 and then in 2010 for the song "Come Home Perry" from the episode "Oh, There You Are, Perry" as well as one for its score. The series has also been popular with adults.〔Similar reviews have emphasized the series' popularity with adults; ''Elastic Pop''s Rebecca Wright wrote, in a review for the volume one DVD, "As an adult, I really enjoyed watching this Phineas and Ferb DVD, and I think it is one that the whole family can enjoy." Wright also called the series' "irreverent style" reminiscent of ''The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle''.〕〔Notable adult celebrities who have openly considered themselves fans of the series include Bob Eubanks, Anthony LaPaglia, Ben Stiller, Chaka Khan, and Jake Gyllenhaal.〕 On August 25, 2011, the show was picked up for a fourth season along with a possible spin-off show and a feature film on the Disney Channel. Disney Channel officially announced on November 9, 2011 that the fourth season was picked up with new episodes rolling out starting December 7, 2012. It is now the longest running Disney Channel Original Series, beating ''Kim Possible''s 5 years and 3 months, and is also the longest running Disney XD Original Series. On February 15, 2014, it was announced that production of the show had been completed and no new episodes had been ordered,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Production is Over On "Phineas and Ferb," Future of Show Up in the Air () )〕 and that the show would go on an indefinite hiatus. However, new episodes started airing on Disney XD in June 2014, and on Disney Channel in the summer of 2014. On May 7, 2015, it was officially announced that the series has wrapped up after four seasons, and the final hour-long episode titled "Phineas and Ferb: Last Day of Summer" would premiere on June 12, 2015 on Disney XD, simulcast on Disney Channel. A 73-hour marathon of the show would begin on Disney XD on June 9, 2015.〔http://tvline.com/2015/05/07/phineas-and-ferb-cancelled-finale-in-june/〕 The series officially ended on June 12, 2015 on Disney Channel and Disney XD. It was also announced that a stand-alone hour-long special titled "O.W.C.A. Files" would be released the following Fall. The special officially premiered on Disney XD on November 9, 2015. ==Plot== The show follows the adventures of stepbrothers Phineas Flynn (Vincent Martella) and Ferb Fletcher (Thomas Sangster), who live in the fictional town of Danville, in a (never specified) Tri-State area, as they seek ways to occupy their time during their summer vacation. Often these adventures involve elaborate, life-sized and ostensibly dangerous construction projects. Phineas's older sister, Candace Flynn (Ashley Tisdale), has two obsessions: "busting" Phineas and Ferb's schemes and ideas, and winning the attention of a boy named Jeremy (Mitchel Musso).〔 Meanwhile, the boys' pet platypus, Perry, acts as a secret agent for an all-animal government organization called the O.W.C.A. ("Organization Without a Cool Acronym"), fighting Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Examiner )〕 Much of the series' humor relies on running gags used in almost every episode, with slight variation. Most episodes follow a pattern: * Some incident gives Phineas an idea for a project, and he announces, "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" * Meanwhile, Perry slips away, using one of many hidden tunnels, to a secret underground base. Phineas (or occasionally another character) remarks, "Hey, where's Perry?" * Major Monogram briefs Perry (whom he calls "Agent P") on his mission; this sometimes amounts to nothing more than "Doctor Doofenshmirtz is up to something; find out what it is, and stop it!" * Candace sees what the boys are doing, and resolves to tell Mom. * Perry breaks into the skyscraper office of Doofenschmirtz Evil Inc. (complete with its own easy listening jingle). Doofenschmirtz traps Perry and explains his current evil plan. Perry escapes the trap and they battle. * Phineas and Ferb complete their project. * Mom gets home and Candace thinks that, at last, Mom will see what the boys have been up to and believe her. But just as Mom is about to step into the back yard, all evidence vanishes, usually as a side effect of Doofenschmirtz's device.〔〔 * Doofenschmirtz, foiled again, cries out, "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" Other running gags: * An adult asks Phineas if he is rather young to be performing some complex activities; he responds, "Yes, yes, I am". This is often parodied. * Doofenshmirtz's names for his contraptions all have the same suffix, "-inator", as in Shrinkinator, Giant Dog Biscuit-inator, "Eradicate Rodney's -Inator", etc.〔 Eventually he starts calling them "inators" as a generic term. * Doofenshmirtz has a daughter, Vanessa, who generally finds his work boring, but sometimes tries to prove to her mother that he is evil. Like Candace, she always fails. * Ferb rarely speaks more than once in an episode. * Isabella, who has a crush on Phineas, comes into the backyard and asks, "Whatcha doin'?" in a distinctive singsong tone. (In "Suddenly Suzy", after both Suzy and Candace speak that line, Isabella grumbles "Do I even need to be here?".) Aspects of the show's humor are aimed at adults,〔 including its frequent pop-cultural references.〔 Co-creator Dan Povenmire, who had previously worked on ''Family Guy'', sought to create a less raunchy show that would make similar use of comic timing, metahumor, humorous blank stares, wordplay and breaking the fourth wall.〔 Povenmire describes the show as a combination of ''Family Guy'' and ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, the other co-creator, said the show was not created ''just'' for kids; he simply did not exclude them as an audience.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phineas and Ferb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
