'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through my tough periods during its run, which were many. 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 bothering with. 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.
Neither "Make Play" or "Candace Gets Busted" are among the best of 'Phineas and Ferb'. Both however are very well done, actually thought as a matter of fact that "Make Play" was great and a lot more consistent story-wise. There is a lot to like about "Candace Gets Busted", though it's not particularly original other than the twist on who gets busted and one subplot for my tastes fares better than the other (which has been the case at times with the show).
There are plenty of great things that both have in common. The animation is bright and colourful, with such vibrant colours that literally pop out at you and beautifully detailed backgrounds. The music is in the style that is not usually my style of choice when listening to music, but it is very catchy and pleasant to listen to. The theme song is irresistible with a melody that sticks in the head for days without being an earworm and with very quotable lyrics.
Writing is very smart and manages to not be too juvenile for adults and not too complex for kids. It is particularly good in the main plot for "Make Play". Both stories are lively and nicely executed, again especially "Make Play". Which is more inventive in its main plot, a little more complicated to usual in the boys' plan but very cleverly executed.
As has been reiterated already, "Candace Gets Busted" is good fun and lively, though the main plot is fairly predictable. Personally did find the Doofenschmirtz subplot more memorable, and the Doofenschmirtz subplot in "Make Play" is for me even better than the still entertaining if not quite as inspired one in "Candace Gets Busted".
Character writing and interaction are on point and cannot fault the voice acting either.
In conclusion, very well done though a case of one episode being great and the other being solid. 8/10.
