Burbank, September 19, 2007 -- The animated comedy series "Phineas and Ferb" Created and executive-produced by Dan Povenmire ("Family Guy") and by Jeff "Swampy" Marsh ("The Simpsons"), will be presented in its second preview episode, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (10:45 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. Its first preview last month delivered Disney Channel's second-largest viewership ever in Total Viewers (10.8 million) and Kids 6-11 (4.2 million) and tied "Hannah Montana" as the second-most watched episode in Tween 9-14 (4.2 million).

The comedic series, from Walt Disney Television Animation, will debut in winter 2008.

It's the hottest day of summer in this showcase episode, "Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror," and ingenious Phineas Flynn and his resourceful stepbrother Ferb Fletcher decide to make a tropical beach paradise in their very own backyard. Soon, all the neighborhood kids come to enjoy it, the boy's dad uses the influx of sand to search for a rare bottle cap and bonds with Baljeet who is also a collector and Isabella and the Wilderness Girls Troop serve as lifeguards. Candace alerts mom that she'd better come home to see what's going on but quickly changes her mind when she becomes the most popular girl on the beach. Meanwhile, Perry the Platypus (aka Agent P) must stop evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz from stealing all the lawn gnomes in the tri-state area, leaving thousands of gardens unprotected.

The voice cast is: Vincent Martella ("Everybody Hates Chris") as Phineas, Thomas Sangster ("Nanny McPhee") as Ferb, Ashley Tisdale ("The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," "High School Musical") as Candace, Caroline Rhea (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch") as Mom, Richard O'Brien (creator of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show") as dad Lawrence, Mitchel Musso ("Hannah Montana") as Jeremy and Dee Baker ("American Dad!") as Perry the Platypus.
