When 'Phineas and Ferb' first started to air, Disney Channel was nowhere near as good as it used to be and still isn't. Instead of the likes of the animated Disney shows of the 80s and 90s, most of it was and still is animated shows with childish humour and Disney Channel sitcoms and unfortunately it tended to not be the good ones. This continued throughout the whole of 'Phineas and Ferb's' run to the extent that this became one of the few shows airing on the Channel worth watching.
Really liked both "Quietest Day Ever" and "Bully Bromance Break Up", with the better of the two being surprisingly the latter. Buford and Baljeet are not among the most interesting 'Phineas and Ferb' characters, but both show different sides to them and the episode had some refreshing character dynamics. "Quietest Day Ever" is a lot of fun, but is more conventional and with not the same amount of freshness in the material.
The animation is still wonderfully vibrant with very rich attention to detail, particularly in the latter stages of "Bully Bromance Break Up" and the ninja outfits. The music is dynamic with the action and the theme song is insanely catchy with very clever and quotable lyrics that anybody still in school fishing for how to spend their vacation will relate to. The voice acting is great, Dan Povenmire always sounds like he's having so much fun.
Writing is very funny and intelligent. Once again, the right balance of being easy to understand for children while not being too juvenile for adults is successful. Both stories are entertaining and energy filled without being too manic, Buford with Doofenschmirtz was an original character dynamic for the show and despite the two being very different they amuse together. The characters are very well done in both episodes.
Phineas and Ferb are both likeable (love their plan in "Quietest Day Ever"), Perry is adorable and resourceful (especially in "Bully Bromance Break Up") and Doofenschmirtz is typically wonderfully goofy. Baljeet's character writing saw a stronger personality for him and it was great to see.
Only the rather predictable Doofenschmirtz subplot in "Quietest Day Ever" disappoints a little.
Summing up, great. 9/10.
