Mazes and popstars
'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through many tough periods during its run. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth watching. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best.
"We Call It Maze" is incredibly entertaining and has a lot of energy and charm, Phineas and Ferb helping out another character is always great to see too. For me, the better episode, or at least the one that gets the edge, is "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem", with it being funnier, more imaginative (as "We Call It Maze" is on the formulaic side whereas it didn't feel that way with "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem") and with more of an emotional core.
The animation is full of vibrant colour, quirky character designs and meticulous attention to detail in the backgrounds. The music is dynamic with the action and the theme song is insanely catchy with very clever and quotable lyrics that are so easy to relate to.
Both episodes are wonderfully written and fare equally. Very intelligent, never juvenile or confused and often very funny to hilarious. With the exception of the not particularly inspired Doofenschmirtz subplot in "We Call it Maze" ("Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem's" is a lot more fun and inventive), the stories are lively in pace and are engaging. The main plot in "We Call it Maze" is charming and sweet, without being too much so, and the one for "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem" was nostalgic and brought a lump to the throat. It also clearly had a lot of fun with the unknown singer aspect of the plot.
Also loved the character writing, Lawrence's development in "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem" was just lovely and Doofenschmirtz is hilarious in that episode's subplot of his. The character interaction in both is great as is the voice acting.
In conclusion, great and even more so in the case of "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem". 9/10.
