The "No. Dummy." Practical in the newsletter reminds me immediately of the Disney cartoon "Phineas and Ferb". We watch it *a lot* in our household because it's one of the few shows that my kids love that don't make me want to stab my ears with a pencil, and part of the brilliance of the show is the predictable structure--the "Hey, where's Perry?" question, Isabella's "Whatcha doin'?", Doofenschmirtz' crazy schemes to take over the Tri-State Area, and Perry's anti-Doof work combine with Phineas and Ferb's awesome inventions to get rid of all the evidence Candace needs to bust her brothers. Predictable AF, and absolutely hilarious!

Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh are brilliant, enough that all I need is to see their names on a show and I'll try it without hesitation.
