Disney is getting serious about ?Phineas & Ferb,? the animated TV show about a couple of brilliantly outlandish school kids.
The show, on both the Disney Channel and Disney XD, not only got picked up for a third season, but a Christmas special and a music CD is in the works.
Disney ordered 35 more episodes, which will take the show to 100 total episodes.
 
The thing that confuses me about this is that the theme song outright says "104 days of summer vacation", which I've always assumed meant 104 segments (AKA 52 episodes).

So, if it goes up to 100 episodes...the series takes place over the course of TWO summers?
 
I didn't know they were past their first... heh, a year ago I would have been totally peeved and protested that American Dragon deserved it more but I'm a little passed AD:JL (still care about it, but just not enough to fight a pretty slim-chance fight to get it back). I actually watch Phineas and Ferb frequently and think it's a very nice little show. No one is really mean-spirited, and the plots are tied interestingly together to with sub-plots.

Normally on a show subplots don't always link together, but they do a nice (and I don't use this word often) handy job at constructing a decent show. ;)
 
Not surprising. The show gets better all the time. Congratulations to the cast and crew. It's good to see a show with wit and heart receive the success it deserves.
 
Well this is great news indeed. Phineas and Ferb is my favorite Disney cartoon since Kim Possible and i rank it up with my favorite 90s cartoons like Recess. 100 full half hour episodes is definitely a great thing to hear, for as much as i was aware of how great the show was and knew it must be fairly popular, i'd heard a lot about the 65 episode limit with Disney and i too was convinced by the theme song's 104 days thing that that would be how many episodes they'd make. So yes good news that.
 
On Disney Channel, no, they had a mandatory 65 episode limit up until Eisner left.

But in terms of any Disney TV cartoon, the only other one that's reached the fabled 100 episode mark is DuckTales (though, Gummi Bears and Darkwing Duck got EXTREMELY close).
 
I confess I like the show, mostly because of how implausible everything that happens is, and it pokes fun at that fact(much of which I attest to Family Guy alum Dan Povenmire.)
 
I don't even think you have to confess here. I think everybody likes this show. Or at least I haven't heard a lot of bad comments about it.
