"O.W.C.A. Files" episode was extremely disappointing (minor spoilers)


The episode was way too long, too anticlimactic, and didn't have enough funny moments. It felt so forced, especially after the spectacular "Last Day of Summer." Doofenschmirtz just doesn't have the same humorous vibe in him when he's not trying to be evil, and I didn't actually realize how much of the humor of the other characters tied into that concept so well until I saw this episode. Even the end credits and Phineas and Ferb's last line were rather drab; part of that issue was the inclusion of the other Flynn-Fletcher household members who were just there as background and didn't say anything. If you're going to use the humor of just those two, then only those two should be in the scene. I also thought the bugs were completely unnecessary to the whole plot, their humor mostly just fell flat and didn't add anything...heck, they don't even get what they want at the end, and this is supposed to be a Disney show!

I'm going to really miss this show as a whole, but as a final say, I think the producers would have been much better off running this episode mid-season, because "Last Day of Summer" was so darned good, it would have been much better to leave it at that point instead.

Even though we're getting the follow up series "Mikey Murphy's Law", it really feels like this was made as a potential pilot of a spin-off.

I agree that it's just so... ho-hum, but I still enjoyed it though.

Besides, if Doof does become an "animal" agent, then whose nemesis will he be? Imagine the look on his face if it's Rodney.

I'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.
