10 Best Phineas And Ferb Episodes
3. Dude, We're Gettin' The Band Back Together!
During the rare instances where Candace actually helps her brothers instead of trying to bust them, they can make for some really wholesome episodes. In this episode, Phineas and Ferb set out to get their parents' favorite band back together for a reunion concert in order to help their dad make up for forgetting his and Linda's wedding anniversary. With a plot like that, it's easy to see why this episode is considered among the favorites of many P&F fans and even the creators.
There is just something so wholesome and endearing about seeing these characters dedicate their day to getting a separated band to reunite in order to play for their parents’ anniversary, especially since the band members themselves are all such likable characters. Danny, Bobbi Fabulous, and Swampy all became instant fan favorites during their appearances in this episode, so much so that the band Love Händel would go on to make appearances and be referenced in numerous succeeding episodes of the series.
Of course, the songs in this episode are fantastic, again among the best the entire series has to offer. Swampy's song, Ain't Got Rhythm, even earned the episode a Primetime Emmy Award nomination in the category "Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics." All in all, Dude, We're Gettin' the Band Back Together! is an absolutely solid episode from the first season of Phineas and Ferb, so much so that it's hard to find a P&F fan that doesn't consider it as one of their favorite episodes.
