List of episodes
"Flop Starz" is the third broadcast episode of the American animated television series Phineas and Ferb.1 The episode was originally broadcast on Disney Channel on February 1, 2008 (as the official series premiere). In the episode, Phineas and Ferb become one-hit wonders in a morning, much to the disappointment of their sister Candace, who is trying out for the talent show The Next American Pop Teen Idol Star! Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz converts his building into a giant robot to aid him in his attempt to conquer the Tri-State Area.
The episode's storyboard was written by Sherm Cohen and Antoine Guilbaud, though the story was conceived by the co-creators of the series. The episode included "Gitchee Gitchee Goo," the first song included in the series; it was so popular with Disney executives that they asked for a song in every episode. The episode was broadcast to premiere the series, so a majority of the series' standard humor and plot devices had yet to be established.
"Flop Starz" carried several references to the music industry (the title is a spoof of the phrase "pop stars"), as well as to the talent show American Idol. The episode was well received by critics and fans alike, gaining 4.0 million viewers when it premiered. "Flop Starz" has been featured in several pieces of merchandise, including a junior novelization by Lara Bergen in 2009.
