 * A other i had this could be nothing more than a play or movie giving the title act your ageCtgrumpybear (talk) 15:24, June 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Act Your Age could have a very simple meaning, knowing that the episode focuses on Phineas and Isabella: Phineas and Ferb and company are kids. Is it not common for boys and girls of their age to think of each other as ˝icky˝ or ˝yuck˝, and not to be friends and hang out with each other- thus separating Phineas and Isabella by making them act their age?93.137.51.99 12:22, June 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * My guess: it could be something that Candace tell them, like "Why don't you just act your age?" (meaning not to do their usual inventions) so they try to do ordinary things like go tothe park, to the swimming-pool.. and Isabella would be very excited about it, because Phineas wouldn't be so focussed on his inventions, but he is not enjoying the day with her (we saw how he feels about not inventing something in Bully Bromance Breakup) and Isabella gets upset with him or something like that. (Coudecrayon)


 * My guess is someone will ask Dan & Swampy about this episode at Comic Con in just a couple of weeks. I don't expect them to reveal much, if anything, but then again a couple of years ago when a kid asked if Phineas & Isabella would kiss, they came out and bluntly said one would be coming "real soon" and that turned out to be Across The 2nd Dimension Black Spiderman (talk) 00:20, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * :Not to mention the relation advice ep as well. Yay! I think we've found our loophole. Literally! Wop! Wop! 01:22, July 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * The relationship advice episode was first mentioned way back in 2011, so I'm surprised we have heard nothing about it since. Unless they scrapped the idea altogether (which I find highly unlikely) I would have assumed we would've learned more about it by now. Perhaps something else to ask. Black Spiderman (talk) 22:20, July 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that this ep could be  like the saying "You don't know what you have till you lose it" Maybe Phineas somehow losing Isabella and it get to him what he is missingCtgrumpybear (talk) 15:03, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * relationship advice part may not be a ep it may just be a small part of a epCtgrumpybear (talk) 15:00, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Well, this is supposed to be a very emotional episode. Not to mention it's called Act Your Age so I'm thinking something along the lines of Candace or someone telling Phineas and Ferb to "act their age", implying that they need to (saying it in a nicer way however) "grow up" and sort of move on from building stuff. But by the end of the episode, Candace will probably realize she misses the old them (Sort of like in Phineas and Ferb Get Busted how she misses them building inventions while they are at reform school and she tries to bust them out.) and convinces them that they need to go back to their old selves. However, throughout this maybe Isabella will realize that since Phineas is no longer wrapped up in his inventions (Like in Isabella and the Temple of Sap, when Isabella was in "Phineas Land", he said that he was so wrapped up in his inventions that he had no time to focus on what he really cared about. Of course, that was just Isabella's imagination, so we really don't know if that's even the case...), she will have a chance to admit her feelings for him. Then Phineas will be like "Whoa! Wait, what?". And then that could be when the song kicks in. Y'know, the Phineas and Isabella song. I just sort of thought of this as I was writing it but you know, it's just and idea, I'm not saying that's what's going to happen (But that would be pretty cool!) so DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! :) This was just a little something that I thought up. :) Ajoy44 (talk) 03:20, August 3, 2013 (UTC)ajoy44

"Relationship Advice" tie-in?
So I've been asking Dan, Swampy & Aliki lately on Twitter about the "relationship advice" episode. It struck me as odd that Dan & Swampy first teased this episode over 2 years ago in their interview promoting Across the 2nd Dimension. So I asked them if the episode was still on. Because, really, why would they tease something like that if they were never gonna go through with it? So I asked and Aliki has been the only one so far to even answer. Here are two links as to her responses

https://twitter.com/alikigreeky/status/367794624149987331

https://twitter.com/alikigreeky/status/367794776101232640

So this raises the possibility that "Act Your Age" is the elusive Relationship Advice episode we've been curious about. It wasn't a definitive answer like I was hoping for but it was more than I got from Dan & Swampy. All Swampy did was favorite my Tweet. Black Spiderman (talk) 00:21, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

I would guess that the favorite Swampy gave you means yes. जय गुरुदेव 06:59, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

I would agree, though favoriting a tweet isn't exactly giving a finite answer. Black Spiderman (talk) 14:05, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

I think people have been looking the relationship advice" episode the wrong way relationship advice part may just be a little part of a bigger epCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:58, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

In fairness, up until now I always expected that it would be, as you said, merely a small part of the episode. But if it were, and it lasted a mere twoTalk:Act Your Age minutes as compared to an entire subplot, why hasn't it aired by now? Surely a tease in 2011 would mean it would've aired by now, right? Black Spiderman (talk) 20:26, August 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe like the song only trying to help the reason why they haven't say more about relationship advice is because it part of a spicialCtgrumpybear (talk) 14:41, August 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Get you thinking if this could be one of four specials in season four we had mission marvel,got the star war crossover next year and maybe the other one will be save summerCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:43, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I had one idea that could happen but rember this is just guessing game right now because nothing is know. It go like this  Isabella go to Candance for relationship advice because  she been trying everything to show Phineas but nothing work Candance tell Isabella to just tell phineas what she feel. When Isabella tell Phineas about her feelings he dosn't return them because he more shock about it. That upset Isabella so in the ep isabella is sad andPhineas is trying put his mind to it.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 17:46, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

Possible Episode Name Change
Just a heads up -- Dan gave a little "teaser" (if you want to consider that) of sorts on Twitter that the episode will probably have its name changed before it airs. https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/338021762656784384 Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 15:33, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * that was going to be a givingCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:38, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I kinda figured. I just thought to mention it so that none of the administrators are like, WOAH! The title changed! (in some way of sorts) Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 01:07, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

Character centered episode of sorts? (Example: Sidetracked, Road to Danville)
What do you guys think? Will this be a "character centered" episode, much like Sidetracked which only focused on the Agent P storyline, or Road to Danville (same storyline)? In my opinion, I would absolutely love if the entire episode just focused on the Phineas/Isabella storyline rather than the other two usual storylines (Perry, Candace). But, considering they have 22 minutes to play with, who knows? Then again...Sidetracked was 22 minutes also...gosh, it gets confusing. Ah, well, they've really never done a episode that focused entirely on the kids, so I'm expecting it to be like that. What do you guys think? What do you want to see? Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 16:16, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just thought of something. Since this is the *last* season for a while (or at least, the show is confirmed to be going on a long hiatus after the final episode of Season 4), do you think this episode is some sort of "closure" on the Phinabella relationship? By "closure", I mean wrapping everything up so people don't have questions by the time the season ends -- finalizing whether or not the relationship will actually happen, or simply getting rid of any idea of a relationship by the time the episode completes. Ah, that thought is scary. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 17:38, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * First of all, I like the idea that this episode could bring some "closure" to the relationship, though knowing Dan & Swampy, they'll find a way to do that but continue building on it so it never feels like one of those cliche shows that always ends in a firm relationship. Second of all, where was it confirmed that this show was going into hiatus? I do not recall reading or hearing anything of such! Black Spiderman (talk) 17:53, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen anything about it either. And with 39 episodes, they could have ep #139 in November, since S2 went 2 years and also had 39 eps as well. Ah, the pool! A sparkling oasis of summer enchantment! 21:56, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * From Aliki https://twitter.com/alikigreeky/status/349434510875697154 Apparently, it's long enough that they'll need to find new work in between the gap. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 23:29, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd guess this season could be faster and end in Summer 2014, though eps haven't told us that yet. Gravity Falls had a 4 month break between eps so who knows. othwise, possibly plans for a spin-off. Ah, the pool! A sparkling oasis of summer enchantment! 23:50, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * It doesn't appear, though, that Disney plans on canceling this show anytime soon, as it shouldn't, seeing as it has basically put Disney Channel back on the map and is only getting more popular by the day.. So this could just be a typical in-between season break for the crew. Hey, even the best need a break. It just seems like it's bad because someone actually told us this would happen. The way I see it, if Star Wars is the last episode of Season 4 (which, keep in mind, we still don't know) then they could perhaps take a break months ahead of its airdate and then resume production when it gets closer to its airdate. We don't know everything, so let's not get too upset yet. While the notion of a cancellation would be disappointing, I don't see that to be the case here. But again, we just don't know. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:56, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * For some notion, I'd find it that Star Wars being the final episode being very disappointing. I'd rather not close everything up for the season with a parallel universe. "Save Summer" sounds very much like a final episode title, or even something similar to Summer Belongs To You! or something like that. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 00:00, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Anyways, back to the original topic. "Character centered episode" ideas? Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 23:59, August 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing as Robert Hughes has labelled this episode as "unique," I'd have to assume that it won't follow the traditional pattern of the show, so realistically I could see it deviating and focusing mostly on Phineas and Isabella. Now if only we had a rough estimate of when we could expect this episode. Black Spiderman (talk) 00:10, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Before Star Wars but after about 4 episode releases from the beginning of 2014...so maybe March or April, or May. I think that we have to take into account that they've never done a centered episode on just the kids (only on the Perry and Candace storylines, but correct me if I'm wrong here), so this is probably their only chance to do that considering the dreadful hiatus to come up. They said that this will be a very emotional episode, so AYA will probably be the only "emotional" episode (in a sense) also. Heck, this episode could be the only gateway into a couple of unexplored themes for the series for a while! Just remember that they have to appease a primarly younger audience for the episode, but at the same time, they're so awesome that they also make sure that the older audience has a great time too.


 * In writing this, I just remembered something. There has to be a SECOND SONG in there somewhere, because it's a 22 minute long episode. Woah! Mindflipppp....(reference) Ah, that makes me excited. So we get a Phinabella duet that seems to have the word "Phinabella" in it AND ANOTHER SONG? :D


 * But anyways. Some closure would be nice, considering the hiatus. I don't think they'll make it into a Canderemy plot...but then again with the fact that Stacy now knows Perry's secret (which was something no one saw coming) these writers are ready to do anything. I just guess we'll have to wait about 7 more months for the premiere. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 00:57, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have read the reason why they are going on hiatus is to take a break and they have many eps done for the shows.For a secord song they may just use something like alone or city of love to fill in that paryCtgrumpybear (talk) 14:49, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm sure all shows go on hiatus for a little while as far as producing episodes once their existing production cycle concludes. So, I doubt this is something we need to be concerned about. We aren't even halfway through the season yet so let's not all go into a state of panic over whether the show is going to be canned. I highly doubt it will and it wouldn't come as a surprise to me if Disney made a renewal announcement soon enough. Black Spiderman (talk) 15:02, August 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't think it'll be put into the dumpster yet. (and if it is, I'll be recuperating in the corner for about 3 weeks) Just like a production break, except a bit longer than normal. Wacky3zaybxc (talk) 16:39, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

The speculation here is overblown and insane. We know the tittle and that phinebella is in it. That’s it. You guys are assuming the most insane things even though we know as much as we always do for a upcoming episode. (We know as much as we do about it’s no picnic or whatever)

It’s unlikely we’ll get info before it is finished and the advertising. But it’s exactly like this for any “unknown” upcoming episode. So this isn’t too different. Let’s no guess at this level until we actually have something to go off of. who wants to put on some blindfolds and get into my car?

You're right. We have basically nothing on this episode except the tiny bits and pieces Dan & Swampy have been teasing, so until we know more we should all just calm down, myself included. Perhaps the hypes is as high as it is because it is such a wonderful and beloved relationship in the show, and most of us do want to see some progress. But we should relax and just let the chips fall where they may. For all we know, it could be a full year before this episode actually hits the airwaves. I doubt it; I expect it to be sooner than that, but we don't know. Black Spiderman (talk) 20:16, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

 * I just wish that the episode airs before June 2014. Mircea.robert.ionescu (talk) 11:37, October 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * The way I figure it is this: Dan said on the Spreecast interview that each episode takes "at least 10 months" to make. Since the interview was in March that would put the episode at around January of 2014. Then his tweet that said the episode would make us "burst a blood vessel" would take about a year to come out. So I'd estimate it comes out somewhere around March of next year. But that's just an estimation. I could be dead wrong, and it could come out earlier or later than that. Black Spiderman (talk) 03:17, October 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * It look like the ep is done so it could be airing in the next couple of mthsCtgrumpybear (talk) 19:07, December 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think Aliki T only said the animation is back but that it still needed to go into postproduction. Still, the next couple of months sounds realistic. Black Spiderman (talk) 22:23, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

https://twitter.com/alikigreeky/status/412831209572413440

It was late Monday night; she said that she had seen the animations the week before, and when I asked if it was in postproduction now she responded "Yeppers." Which means Valentine's Day - which I still find unlikely - is still a possibility. Black Spiderman (talk) 05:11, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show this episode since I already check the calender at 2014 February and they show new episodes on Friday, yep that would be a good time to show it. Patrickau 26 (talk) 15:29, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

It would certainly fit with the theme. But we don't know how long postproduction lasts for animated episodes, or for that matter, how long networks waits to air them after they're completed. It's possible, but I think it's unlikely. Black Spiderman (talk) 15:51, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * I hate to say this but I just say it anyway. After seeing the recent info about the episode that they are doing the voices, there is no way that this will appear on February at Valentine Day in time since like last year like "Cheers for Fears" did some counting on the day it aired, it will take a couple of month before this one is out. You are right about what you said, Black Spiderman. Patrickau 26 (talk) 14:34, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I could see it coming out in February. They still have a month to finish, it just probably won't be on Valentines Day. If any thing, those pictures could have been taken a while ago and there messing with us.Schwamifan13 (talk) 16:44, January 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, it MIGHT come out in February, possibly Valentine's Day. But you are right, it's probably unlikely. In the pics posted, Dan said they were watching and recording the episode. He didn't say they were doing it that day. That's the assumption, though, since it would probably be implied anyway. But it is an interesting point you bring up, Schwamifan. Black Spiderman (talk) 16:55, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think March or April might be the most realistic time to expect this to come out, simply because I know networks generally don't air recently completed episodes right away. They might make an exception for this episode, but I doubt it. Black Spiderman (talk) 02:52, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Second Song?
So earlier today I decided to tweet to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the day Rob Hughes tweeted a pic first teasing the "Unnamed Phineas/Isabella Song". He actually tweeted me back saying that the wait would be worth it. He also said that there would be a second song, a "great Doof song that everyone's dad will like." I'm probably just overreaching here, but I'm wondering if, given that kind of context, the song he's referring to is "All the Convoluted Reasons We Pretend To Be Divorced?"

Here's a link to his tweet: https://twitter.com/hellofathead/status/401369409454747649 Black Spiderman (talk) 23:11, November 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * I guess that means this episode will have a perry and doof sub-plot? I can't tell if I'm happy or upset about this. (90% upset) जय गुरुदेव 07:59, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm actually OK with this. I always love the Doof/Perry subplots, and even if that's the case, just the fact that the Phineas/Ferb subplot is going to be a Phineas/Isabella subplot instead still gets me excited. Black Spiderman (talk) 13:39, November 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think I should just be happy that this episode is even being made at all, however I'm too spoiled to do so. जय गुरुदेव 00:21, November 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * So We going have a doof didestory that great because we can't have ep without one but back to this topic I have to think it not a doof/perry but a doof/Vanessabecause of the line dads will love the song. Also if the song "All the Convoluted Reasons We Pretend To Be Divorced?" it would make it a doof/Charlene story if so that would be great because we never seen that before.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 17:20, November 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe the whole episode might be about relationships, like Phinbella and Doof and Charlene. Who knows?
 * PercabethFan 10:13, November 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Possible. It would be the first episode of the series to focus completely on relationships, and it would be a nice change of pace. Black Spiderman (talk) 23:03, November 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that same thing but I ope they can stay away or cut down on any of the Candace and Jeremy for act your ageCtgrumpybear (talk) 18:19, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we got too many Candace/Jeremy thing now, I guess now they would show some other relationships. Patrickau 26 (talk) 15:29, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * yea,Agress with that the good sign for there will be no Candace/Jeremy in this ep is the fact they are hyping it up for the phinabella fan base. I was thinking if the 2nd story a doof one maybe with charlene what could the 3nd story be about.. If not anything to do with candace maybe if  this is relationships but it could be a couple never get any time like baljeet and ginger or maybe ferb fall for a new girl like adyson or gretchen.Ctgrumpybear (talk) 16:37, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
