On August 8, 2008, the Disney Channel aired a two-hour long event called Phineas and Ferb: Spot the Diff where four episodes were each played twice in a row. The episodes featured in this special were “The Fast and The Phineas”, “Toy to the World”, “Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror”, and “It’s a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World”.

History

The original version of an episode would air first, and an altered version would air second. In the altered version, minor things would be changed from the original, such as a character’s hairstyle for a shot, or an object changing appearance.

Viewers were encouraged to disneychannel.com to view the rules of this event and print off a score card to keep track of the differences between the original and the altered version of each episode.

Afterwards, viewers could go online and take four quizzes about the differences between each episode. If they correctly answered the questions on each of the quizzes, they would be shown two Phineas and Ferb episodes that had yet to air at the time, those being “Put That Putter Away” and “Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?”

Availability

The altered versions of the episodes were originally uploaded to vid.me by a user named The Zapster, but this account was later terminated. However, another user downloaded the videos before they were deleted and uploaded them to archive.org, where they are still available to watch at the time of writing.
