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!!!
