I love how this show has so many inside jokes it gets better the more you watch it. Like when they were stranded on an island and built an amazing treehouse, and their sister came to see it and said "You're giving a monkey a shower?!" and they replied "It had to be done." Good times.

Several years ago when we first got cable, my wife discovered Lifetime — Television for Women, and then suddenly my Sunday night visit to the Simpsons house ended.

Having first to recover from her indifference to cartoons in general (Shock!), I attempted to find a show for her to like so that she could understand my love of cartoons, and relinquish the remote (we call it 'The Power' in our house) for a bit on Sunday nights.

During commercials with 'The Power' in hand, I'd skim into cartoons on DC, NIk or CN to see if there was something that might be interesting to her. I found a show on DC called Kim Possible — a strong female lead and that had the 'humor at many levels' that I'm reading of P&F featuring a teenage, crime fighter cheerleader doing good deeds around world.

Sound corny? Yeah… it is, but it works.

But, the plan backfired… sort of. I became the BIG fan and my wife kept 'the power' on Sunday nights. (I know almost all the characters on Army Wives.)

It airs daily at 1:30 AM….. too late for the kiddies, but not so for me.

Good grief, whoever recommended Fairly Odd Parents has to be out of his mind! That's the most mean spirited, obnoxious cartoon on television with the loudest, most grating voices. Its sense of humor faded long ago and was replaced with cruelty and sexist humor (word to Wanda: D-I-V-O-R-C-E!) I won't let my daughters watch it.

Phineas and Ferb, on the other hand, are a true oasis in the midst of stupid obliviously cruel characters. It has heart in the best sense of the word. While the art doesn't exactly say Disney, its sensibility does. I enjoy it as much as my kids do. Phineas and Ferb and Spongebob pretty much rule the roost in my household. Thanks for giving Phineas and Ferb the boost its deserves.

My mother always loved to watch some of the Disney Saturday morning cartoons more than I did. She particularly loved the series based off of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear character (then again, it had a pretty stellar cast of comedic actors like Larry Miller, Ryan Stiles, Dedrich Bader, John O'Hurley and Brad Garrett, as well as sci-fi actors like Bill Mumy, Jonathan Harris and Linda Hamilton.) My mom and I always enjoyed watching cartoons with each other, but I think she was a little more into them than I was. Well, she was a former drug addict and had a wickedly-warped sense of humor, but that's what I always loved about her.
