Two brothers build something enormous every summer day, and their sister cannot get the adults to look.

Invention as play, a family that is still in the house. The formula is the limit. Fine in doses.
The joke is that childhood is a construction permit the parents never quite notice. Phineas and Ferb are industrious in the way a cartoon can be: a roller coaster before lunch, no bill, no one hurt. Candace's need to be believed is the more human engine. Perry's double life is a spy sketch attached to a backyard.
A child can take the building. Do not take the lesson that a marvel leaves no mess and no adult has to be told. One episode, then a real project with a parent who is looking.

The eight
Industry
8/10
They design and build. The craft is the show.
Household
6/10
Brothers, a sister, parents home. The parents are pleasant and unseeing.
Piety
2/10
None.
Courage
5/10
The builds are brave only because they are impossible. Nobody bleeds.
Republic
4/10
A backyard, not a town. Doofenshmirtz is a comic tyrant.
Temperance
6/10
Summer excess, reset by dinner. The day does not keep the damage.
Truth
5/10
Candace tells the truth and the evidence folds itself away.
Stewardship
5/10
What they make is gone by sunset. Nothing is kept.
