Episode Summary[]
Dr. Ninja Baljeet in color
Phineas and Ferb introduce Ferb TV. On Channel 2, Baljeet appears to help a woman, who had sprained her ankle. Afterwards, she and all the other people on the beach turn into 'alien zombies'. Baljeet lifts one of the zombies and throws it across the beach. He explains that he is also a ninja, and starts cartwheeling around the beach.
Channel 3 shows the premiere of The Klimpaloon and Giant Floating Baby Head Hour with special guests Dave, Jim, and the Tri-State weensy jugglers, Dexter Thompson with his chocolate harmonica, the musical band of Bicentennial Crab and six of eight original Klimpaloon and Baby Head dancers. The purple curtains open to reveal a giant cake, which then opens to reveal the Klimpaloon and Baby Head.
On Channel 4, Suzy has a tea party with her toys. Suddenly, a giant robot flies from the sky, which Suzy kicks. The robot's armor comes off to reveal Norm. Suzy tells Norm that he can't wander into Jeremy's room, because he may be sent back to space. As Jeremy knocks on the door, Suzy tells Norm to hide. Suzy says she is making a surprise to Jeremy, and shows him a Norm-shaped hole in the wall.
On Channel 5, a narrator tells the viewers some cooking facts about Buford, who is the host of Your Cooking Stinks & So Do You!. His guest is André Guilbaud. On Channel 6, the show is Katt Karr. The main character is Roger, who is hunting down a villain dressed like a mouse, Professor Nibbles. On Channel 7, Ducky Momo begins. The narrator tells the children that Ducky Momo is lost and needs to cross the Dumbledown River. The kids tell Ducky Momo that the bridge is behind him several times, but he doesn't turn around.
Back on Channel 2, Dr. Baljeet, along with a woman, is riding on a motorcycle away from a truck of thugs. A drawbridge in front of them rises, and they go riding up into the air. The thugs then come up to the drawbridge and go riding over the hole, landing on the other side. Baljeet and the woman hang on a helicopter, which then flies away. Back on Channel 3, Dave and Jim have a conversation while the jugglers juggle over them.
Back on Channel 4, Suzy gives Norm a makeup. Jeremy knocks on the door, and Suzy tells Norm to hide. Jeremy asks Suzy if she has seen his baseball bat, and she denies, moving in front of Norm, who is pretending to be a lamp. Jeremy wonders if she's hiding anything and leaves. Norm then takes the lamp shade off. Back on Channel 3, Dave has been knocked out.
Back on Channel 5, André Guilbaud explains that he's ready for Buford's criticism. Buford shouts at him about putting tofu on a lasagna and kicks it off the table. Back on Channel 6, Roger is talking to his car, telling it that there is no sign of Professor Nibbles. Back on Channel 4, Jeremy asks Suzy why she's outside with a lumpy table. She tells Jeremy that it's a lemonade stand, and that she drank all of the lemonade. Jeremy walks away, and Norm comes over holding some lemonade.
Back on Channel 5, Buford explains that he is harsh to improve other's talent. He then walks up to one of Guilbaud's olives and hits it with a spatula. Back on Channel 6, Roger tells Katt Karr that they had almost caught Professor Nibbles, who throws a ball of yarn down a street for Katt Karr to chase. Back on Channel 3, Dexter Thompson eats his harmonica. Back on Channel 7, Ducky Momo is still lost and can't find the bridge.

Back on Channel 2, the commercials are on. There are two hungry kids sitting at a table. Meap flies down in a UFO, and two bowls of 'Meap's Carbonated Goulash' fly down from the UFO, and the kids start eating. Back on Channel 5, there is a commercial about the Fireside Girls. On Channel 12, a show called Dancing with the Bears shows how long two celebrities can dance with a bear. Back again on Channel 2, Baljeet rides away from a yacht in a speedboat. Back again on Channel 3, the Bicentennial Crab play their number.
Back again on Channel 4, Jeremy and Suzy are looking up into the sky after Norm has gone back into space. Suzy tells Jeremy that she's going to stay outside. When Jeremy is gone, Norm pops up over the wall. Back again on Channel 5, André Guilbaud understands what Buford was trying to teach him. On Channel 13, there is a news report about a giant meteor which will hit the Earth.
Back again on Channel 6, Roger finally captures Professor Nibbles for his crimes. Back on Channel 7, Ducky Momo looks at a candy wrapper, thinking it's the bridge, and walks on it. Back again on Channel 2, Baljeet is talking with another woman about the invasion being a big misunderstanding. As Ferb turns off the TV, Candace goes to get Mom. The TV is zapped by a ray of light before Mom can see Ferb TV.
