@Mobo85: I agree!

During these past 3 years, Phineas and Ferb has taken some amazing strides. The show went from basic 11 minute episodes to several 30 minute episodes, a Christmas special, an hourlong special, and now a movie, not to mention a whole boatload of merchandise.

On another note, where have these 3 years gone? It seems as if the show just came out. To be honest, I never really liked the show when it came out. I actually ended up watching the show on accident (but that's another story). Now I don't know what I would do without it. Phineas and Ferb has cheered me up during my worst moments. I can always count on them for a good laugh or even a good cry, whether I've seen the episode 1 time or 101 times. The plot called "formulaic" by some has been turned on its head and then some, making every episode unique, but still producing the same result: genuine laughter. The original songs, ranging from country to hip hop and including everything in between, have been permanently stuck in my head. I've become extremely attached to the characters, especially to Phineas. His optimism has inspired me to have a more positive outlook on life.

Congratulations to Dan Povenmire, Swampy Marsh, and the rest of the cast and crew on making these 3 years (well, 2 for me, but 3 for others) the best years of my life. Here's hoping we can celebrate "Phineas and Ferb Day" for many more years to come!
