Phineas And Ferb Memories.... Creator Letter.

I remember the first time I watched Phineas and Ferb.
This is what I really can fondly remember. It came across to me the other day when I found out that one of my favorite cartoons running for the past 8 years were coming to a close June 12, 2015.
It was February 2008. I was 6/7 years old. I just started to watch Disney Channel on TV.
One day while watching the channel I see these commercials for this new show coming out in February. Disney really showed that they cared about the show, as they promoted that Phineas and Ferb was a new show coming soon. Instead of saying Phineas and Ferb was coming this February, they changed the name of the month on their channel to "Ferburary." They said a new episode was going to air every weekday at 8:00pm for the next 2 weeks. As a 7 year old kid who loved to watch cartoons like "Spongebob" on television, I was interested to learn more.
As I'm writing this, more memories come back to me. I was in my living room, watching the first episode airing. {Rollarcoaster aired back in August, so I think I missed out on that episode until it aired again. before new episodes.} I don't really remember what my first episode was, but it got me hooked. Every weekday for the next 2 weeks I would remember if Phineas And Ferb was on, and I would watch it. I remember my cousin coming over who was a year younger than me.  And I said "Hey its 8! Lets watch this new show on Disney Channel, I really love watching it." He goes, "Whats that." as I guess he hasn't heard of Phineas and Ferb yet. I kept saying how much I loved the show as we watched it together, and he was also hooked.
I can remember the best moments of the show when they aired, Disney Channel always used to marathon the show, and they still do, on Disney XD. I watched the show by myself, with my cousin, with my mom. I got the "Perry Files" Dvd from Best Buy a few years back when it came out. I remember when the soundtrack came out and I wanted to get it from amazon. "Mom, it says theres 3 left in stock! We have to get it now before they run out forever!!!" I remember when the hour-long special, Summer Belongs to You came out. And I remember when the movie came out. Phineas and Ferb Across the Second Dimension.{I forgot it was coming out on the day it aired so I had to watch it the next day!} I watched most episodes when they aired, every Friday at 9, on Disney Channel, or sometimes they would air early on Disney XD. I guess I remember a lot about the show.
Earlier this year I wondered when there was gonna be new episodes of Phineas And Ferb again. I also realized that the show was on its 4th season.
"I wondered if PnF was gonna have a fifth season", as I hoped.
Until recently, I found out, on May 12, 2015, something happened I couldn't believe.
Phineas And Ferb was ending.
I was on the computer during lunch in school.
I researched the show to see if there was gonna be new episodes airing this year.
The news came out. I was expecting the end for a while because of how most disney shows end by there 3rd or 4th season, but somehow, I was just still really surprised.
Jeff Swampy March, and Dan Povenmire wrapped up production, and the show is over.
I said, wow, its actually ending.
And on my way home I remembered all of these flashbacks I wrote about here.
I really wanted to talk about how much this show meant to me.
Back in 2008, I was 6/7. Now I just turned 14 the other day.
I thought about this the other day. I literally grew up from this show. I started watching this show in Kindergarden/First Grade. I'm about to graduate from 8th Grade soon.
I'm glad this show is able to have the finale it deserves, because, PnF made a lot of kids, teens, and even adults happy.
This show felt like it was never gonna end. Summer was going to last forever.
I cant believe it was ending.
I never knew when someone said a piece of there childhood has ended when a show ended. I got upset when a show I liked ended because it was short lived.
Phineas and Ferb ran for 8 years. I loved every episode after the next one. Me growing up as a child and now a teenager is great. Growing up with a show I started from the beginning, to now, ending at 8:00 pm today, June 12.
It was ending.
I don't want to get boring talking about the show.
So I got one thing, just one more thing to say to the creators of Phineas and Ferb, Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh.
Thank you. I love this show. I will keep watching the show on TV and netflex.
I still cant believe the show is ending today.
Im still thinking of memories I can't explain.
Even disney is playing old commericals from 2008 I remember.
Thanks for making characters I love on the show.
I also found out that you guys worked on "Family Guy, the Simpsons...etc.."  Shows I love now. I have the complete series for Rockos I bought a whille ago, I didn't even you worked on the show. I love that show even more now.
I hope to meet you guys at a convention soon, like New York Comic Con.
Thank You.
And goodbye Phineas and Ferb, Perry, Doof, Candace, and all the other great characters that made up this great show.
And to Disney, WE NEED A COMPLETE SERIES DVD SET WITH BONUS FEATURES AND COMMENTARY AND MORE!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

Steven Universe: Say Uncle review. {Uncle Grandpa Crossover}

Its been a while sence I've been on this blog. But I really had to talk about this episode.

My thoughts before this episode was that I hoped Pizza Steve gets eaten by amethyst.
We will get back to that.
But to be honest I thought it was cool that Steven Universe, my all time favorite show on Cartoon Network at this moment in time, and Uncle Grandpa was going to be together in a 11-minute episode.
As long as its not cannon. {wink}
Now, I remember watching UG when it first came out.
I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. But I did think it was a OK show, but I think that's because I  never really hate something. I haven't been wanting the need to watch uncle grandpa save for a few episodes after that experience but, once again, I didn't hate it, it was just different to me.
But Netflix has the show on there now so I can catch up to it!
Steven Universe is a show I LOVE and every episode I watch get me wanting more. Yes, I am up to date with the show and one of my favorite episodes is Jailbreak but besides that, I am dying from cartoon network not putting this show out faster as a season 1 boxset on blu ray with tons of special features and commentaries and subtitles.
If it ever happens.
But my rant about CN never finishing there shows on season dvds will come another time.

But back to the crossover.
SPOILERS AHEAD.

Not seeing a bunch of uncle grandpa, I still knew all the characters.
And having to see all the SU in the world I hoped just like the rest of the fandom that this was not canon.
Cause the description on wikipedia for this episode said:
"Uncle Grandpa comes to town to aid Steven in unlocking the power of his mother's gem".
WHAT.
 Literally the first minute of this episode UG comes to the SU universe dressed as Rose {Stevens Mom} and the funniness ensues.
Stevens upset that he keeps making a bubble instead of a shield with his jem and UG {as he does to other kids he finds} tries to help him out.
AFTER ALL, HES EVERYONE'S UNCLE AND GRANDPA!!!
"Don't worry bro, none of this is canon."
That made me laugh.
"BUT THIS IS!!!'
I haven seen a lot of UG but is the show really all about breaking the forth wall? Its a Chowder pun but overused all over this show!

 But its cool, I enjoy it.
Oh yeah Uncle Grandpa put his head in the CANNON and it hit a ship.
THAT SADIE AND LARS WERE ON!
That's right guys. The Ship is over.
And meanwhile they say its a April fools joke.
But its OK its not cannon. I mean canon.
The best part of this episode is Pearls reaction towards seeing this stranger that she has never seen before. GEE PEARL EVER HEARD OF DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!
But all of the gems hate uncle grandpa, acting like he doesn't deserve to be in this universe and they try to destroy him Steven and UG escape into the UG world.
Amethyst trips over the letter why when there was a word on the ground and says "WHYYYYY!!!"
It makes more sense if you watched the episode.

There we have Gus and the cool as pizza, pizza steve. {Who I do like}.
A funny gag happens between Gus and Pizza Steve which I did enjoy.
Pearl, Garnet and the purple one I don't feel like spelling her name cause its hard gets trapped in the white background tobuscus hangs out in and more funnyness ensues.
My dream of this episode was to have amethyst eat pizza steve. Not that I hate him, but its something she would do.
AND I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN AND IT DID!
Rest in Pieces Steve. You will always be cool to me...
Man, this show is getting hardcore. That's like 3 characters who died today.
Garnet wants the episode to be over, and I think this the first crossover I have watched without thinking it was rushed and it shouldn't be extended into a hour or something.
UG gets Steven to make a shield and reactions by the gems mostly pearl are the funniest reactions I have seen sense last weeks reactions in this episode.
I feel like this turned into a anime with the weird reactions coming from the gems. Its just missing a spinning rainbow behind them.
At the End Uncle Grandpa sees who he has to help out next for pain and suffering and he pulls out a list of CHARACTERS FROM CARTOON NETWORK!
I don't completely remember, but I saw Billy and Mandy [Could of made a throwback to them and Kids Next Door, but oh well} edd edd n eddy,{These are all kids!} Finn {Oh CRAP A MISSING ADVENTURE TIME EPISODE ITS THE NEXT RUDE REMOVAL ASK PEN WARD WHO'S GONNA HELP ME FIND IT!!!} and the last person UG didnt help yet is the innocent Clarence.
OH SNAP CLARENCE CROSSOVER!!! GET READY!!!
I'm looking too much into this. 
Whille were at it, I want more UG crossovers!!! Lets get him into regular show! lets bring back chowder!
Oh boy, you can stop reading now. BUT HEAR MY WORDS. OR READ.  
I feel bad for the people who did say they were gonna miss it and they will read the spoilers online. Its just a FUN EPISODE. Come on, you gotta give some things a chance. Its really sad how even hearing that this was Rebecca Sugars Idea, some of the fan base still looked away from this entertaining episode.
Well they should believe in Steven next time.
But whatever happens. 
UG is still your UNCLE AND YOUR GRANDPA...
And maybe they will cross again in the comics.
