The series concerns Phineas's attempts to avoid boredom by finding something new to do for each day of his summer vacation. He does this with his less-talkative stepbrother Ferb, and often with many other neighborhood children. The activities they devise usually involve outlandish contraptions, including roller coasters,[2] haunted houses,[3] roller rinks,[4] and a backyard beach[5] etc. which Phineas and Ferb design and build cooperatively. Phineas's sister is Candace Flynn,[6] who tries to reveal their outrageous creations to their mother, but to no avail.
Phineas comes from a blended family. The creators chose this arrangement because they considered it underused in children's programming as well as from creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh's past experiences in one.[7] As a character, Phineas has received positive critical response, with one reviewer describing him and his stepbrother as a "comical pairing."[8] Phineas appears in Phineas and Ferb merchandise, including plush toys,[9] t-shirts,[10] and a video game.[11]
