+395 Phineas and Ferb episodes in a nutshell. Something happens that spurs them to make something. Perry disappears to fight Doofenshmirtz. Phineas and Ferb finish the invention and the Perry subplot ends up destroying said invention. Perry comes back to Phineas and Ferb, amirite?

Don't forget the song! Every episode has a song as far as I'm aware.

Even better recap: "Hey...where's Perry?"

The extremely formulatic episodes is what makes the show so loveable. It's a lot like older cartoons like Ed Edd 'n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog. It stands out without trying too hard.

Agreed! I hate the new shows on channels like Cartoon Network. They try waaay too hard to be funny!

Here's Pokémon: Ash sees a Pokémon. The Pokémon has a problem. Ash helps fix the problem. Team Rocket tries to take the Pokémon and Pikachu. Ash defeats Team Rocket. Everyone is happy.

Except Phineas and Ferb doesn't have an overall plot. It's a 15 minute cartoon. Pokemon has a running storyline throughout all the episodes, so it SHOULDN'T be formulatic.

That's true. Oh, well. Here's Scooby Doo: There's a mystery to solve. The gang goes to a scary setting. They see a monster. They split up. Shaggy and Scooby try to run away from the monster. Shaggy and Scooby accidentally catch the monster. The monster turns out to be some guy that you just saw for a second.

Again, no real overall plot. In most cases. There are too many variations for me to say for sure.

Then Ferb says a single line of dialog and Linda offers snacks.

SHUTUP, IT MAKES ME HAPPY. - Like, it's so predictable and cheesy, but that's the best thing about it.

I'll take your word for it. But it doesn't have anything on old cartoons, like Courage the Cowardly Dog or The Rugrats. I would say Spongebob too, but that show is shit nowadays
