Doofenshmirtz is such a good dad. He doesn't pass his trauma onto his kid like we see in most shows, instead he uses his experiences as examples of what not to do, and prevents Vanessa from going through the same pain. It's so heartwarming.

[@oddgirl2813]

Yeah, as I got older, I kinda wish I had a dad like Doofenshmirtz.

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

He is one of the best or probably even the best parent in a kids' show. He's a divorced father who still manages a decent relationship with his ex and cares a lot about his daughter.

[@oddgirl2813]

[@themayhemofmadness7038]

I still love that Doofenshmirtz and Perry are basically best friends that sometimes have to face off against each other. But when it comes down to it, both of them have actually helped the other out when really needed. Doof let Perry borrow Norm. Perry helped Doof look cool to Vanessa’s friends. Doof helped Perry and the boys battle his other evil self. Perry got Balloony back for Doof. And there have been a lot of other things. It is just really fun. And yes, he (Doof) is a really great dad.

[@AA-gi7up]

Not to mention the episode set in the future where carl,MM,perry and doof are friends who get together every week,for golf I think don’t remember it exactly but it does go to show that they are friends and also the episode the nemesis one where perry is “replaced” by the panda its hurts perry and doof both meaning their connection goes deeper than nemesis.❤

This was an amazing show for the messages that it taught kids (and adults, too, if they bothered to listen.) It didn't shy away from mentioning divorce, remarriage, or adults dating again. They expressed the message of going outside and adventuring instead of staying indoors all of the time. And character development showed how different all of the kids were (races, religions, opinions, viewpoints) yet there were no conflicts over them. In fact, they embraced their differences.

[@georgiegal6745]

I always wondered if Doofenshmirtz made a doom machine to create only winter and it accidentally made it always summer but there was an explosion (it's Doof) and he doesn't remember it, and as oblivious as the characters were, they didn't question it.

[@hissignaturestudios6869]

Idk if I'd say that exactly, but in this case, I definitely think it's fine. As long as they waited until he was 18, who cares? A good rule of thumb I follow is devide your age by 2 then add 7. That's the minimum age you can date someone and it not be weird or creepy. For Vanessa that would technically be 19, but since 18 makes it legal I would say eh close enough.😆 Edit: I forgot this rule only applies if both parties are above the age of 18.

Reason 4 and 2 are my personal favourites and have been for a long time. Also, Dan Povermire has said something along the lines that arguably there are only two stories in Phineas and Ferb, Candace’s and Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s + Perry’s, this is because (as he said) Phineas and Ferb don’t learn any lessons during the show and a story revolves around change which the “A story” in Phineas and Ferb doesn’t have, unlike the B and C stories.

I was hoping that Milo Murphy's Law was going to fix the age gap. By making Doof into Professor Time in a crossover episode where P&F could show Doof the time machine in the museum and after he reverse engineered it, Vanessa could take the original to the future and be closer in age to Ferb.
