Featured review
Cavemen and missing goldfish
'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through my tough periods during its run, which were many. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth bothering with. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best.
Watching "Boyfriend From 27, 000 BC" and "Voyage to the Bottom of Buford" back to back was something of a mixed experience. It was very like my consecutive re-watches of "Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face" and "Tree to Get Ready", in that one is much better than the other. One being terrific and the other being one of the few early season 'Phineas and Ferb' episodes to not do much for me in primarily the main subplot for relatively similar reasoning.
The Perry and Doofenschmirtz subplot in "Boyfriend from 27, 000 BC" had its moments, thanks to their great chemistry and Doofenschmirtz himself (the best character in the episode, with Perry close behind). Do think that other subplots of theirs have been a lot more imaginative and not as silly. The main plot, like that in "Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face", didn't work. The humour is more tasteful and not as juvenile or mean-spirited, but it is not original or that amusing or smart. The premise is not an unfamiliar one and the story here does nothing new with it and is neither interesting or particularly appealing.
"Voyage to the Bottom of Buford" however is terrific and infinitely better than the potentially thin (and also immature-sounding) premise. The premise does sound too thin and faced the possibility of being over-stretched or too silly. Actually found it enormous fun, a lot smarter than it could have been and more creative than expected. It was also interesting to see a different side to Buford (missing pets are difficult situations for those with pets so it was easy to identify without feeling forced to) and Phineas and Ferb being willing to help him. The Perry and Doofenschmirtz subplot is silly again, but is also endearingly strange and is more imaginative.
Can't fault the colourful animation or catchy music in either episode. The writing is well balanced, funny and intelligent in "Voyage to the Bottom of Buford" yet sadly somewhat stale in "Boyfriend From 27, 000 BC". The voice acting is extremely good.
All in all, one episode is terrific and somewhere around a 9. The other is very uneven and only about a 5. An overall low-ish 7/10
