In one of the first episodes I watched with my grandchildren (“Out to Launch”), the boys were trying to build a rocket to fly to a star their dad had named after them. They kept trying to derive the rocket equation and getting it slightly wrong, causing the rocket to blow up. My grandkids just looked at me funny as I was laughing out loud. First, having the rocket equation in the cartoon was geeky goodness and making fun of the whole “pay money to name a star after yourself” stupidity was a bonus.

For any geek who hasn’t seen Phineas and Ferb, you can view entire episodes on YouTube.
