‘Phineas and Ferb’ “Last Day of Summer” Series Finale: Creators Talk Crossover with ‘Mikey Murphy’s Law’

You might not know it, but tonight is the last night of summer. That is right, the beloved boys of summer, Phineas and Ferb are saying goodbye tonight. The series finale of the Emmy winning show will air on both The Disney Channel and Disney XD. However, we haven’t seen the last of Phineas and Ferb. The show creators recently hinted at a crossover with their series Mikey Murphy’s Law.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s series finale episode of Phineas and Ferb, titled “Last Day of Summer,” reads:

“The series concludes with the last day of summer vacation. Phineas and Ferb decide to seize the day and make the most of it, but Candace becomes determined to bust her brothers at last.”

Recently, The Huffington Post got Phineas and Ferb creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh on the line to discuss the series finale, where Povenmire opened up about ending the show:

"Look, without naming any names here, we all know that there have been TV shows that overstayed their welcomes, who did themselves a real disservice by hanging in there a season or three too long. And we just didn't want that to be the case with Phineas and Ferb. We didn't want our show to be one of those that wore out its welcome. We really wanted to go out strong. Shut down production while people were still fond of the show and its characters."

However, the end of summer is not necessarily the end of Phineas and Ferb. Povenmire and Marsh are currently working a new series for Disney XD, Mikey Murphy’s Law, and they are right down the street from Danville, as Povenmire adds:

"And what's really cool is that -- in my mind, anyway -- Mikey Murphy just lives a couple of neighborhoods over from Phineas and Ferb. And given that these two animated series will have a similar sort of look and design... Well, who knows? If Mikey Murphy's Law is successful, maybe a few years further on down the line, we could do a crossover episode where the Mikey Murphy characters get to interact with the Phineas and Ferb characters. I'd love to get the chance to do a show like that."
