Normally I just wing these reviews, but I've been a bit fuzzy-headed tonight for some reason, so I'm working from notes. I never do this, so forgive me if I'm a bit scattershot.

Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m in a bad mood tonight, maybe I’m just accentuating the negative, but all the shows we cover this evening have felt kinda’ sub-par to me for some reason. Witness this episode, which really makes no sense: Ben gets approached by a videogame designer to do a game with him as the star. He puts on a Motion Capture leotard, and transforms for a few hours, then is sent on his way. Later on, a big spider-bot - and by the way, I am so totally sick of spiderbots - attacks him really effectively, countering all of his attacks, then runs off.

This is from "Phineus and Ferb," which is far and away my favorite Disney Channel cartoon at the moment, possibly ever. It really could eclipse Kim Possible in my heart, if I'm honest. If you've not seen the show, it's worth a look, and there's two entirely gratuitous songs in each episode, several of which we've featured on here before. Anyway, it's only a minute long, it's catchy and funny, so check it out under the jump. You know, unless you're a jerk...

Kevin: “This is like one of those dreams where everyone you know is in it, and they’re all trying to hurt you.”
Gwen: “I don’t have dreams like that.”
Kevin: “Uh…no, neither do I.”

And on that note, we find yet another episode in fine form, possibly the best, and certainly the funniest episode of the year.
