10 Best Phineas And Ferb Episodes

4. Rollercoaster: The Musical!

Phineas Ferb Act Your Age
Disney

It's the first episode but a musical! As many Phineas and Ferb fans know, the series became a musical series because of the episode Flop Starz and how much the Disney executives loved the song Gitchee Gitchee Goo so much they asked for there to be an original song in every succeeding episode. Because of that, the show's pilot episode, Rollercoaster, doesn't contain a single song. So for the second season, the two boys decide to build a rollercoaster again, "but this time with songs and dancing!"

The result is, of course, every bit as fantastic as a Phineas and Ferb fan would expect. Already with the added nostalgia of it being the first episode but a musical, the episode also knocks it out of the park with stellar song after stellar song after stellar song. Songs like Hey Ferb, What'cha Doin'?, and Carpe Diem are among some of the best songs the entire series has to offer.

It's not just the songs, though — the episode also features great writing and funny new gags, making this more than just a repeat of the pilot episode. Only a show as terrific and cleverly written as Phineas and Ferb — both in live-action and animation — could take a concept like this and make it work so incredibly well. Rollercoaster: The Musical! is a must-watch episode for fans of the series, showcasing the best factors of the show such as its great music and infectious optimism.
