It doesn't dumb things down just because the main audience is children, it had a lot of self-referential humor, and does actually have some pretty strong character development as well.
Like Tom and Jerry cartoons, even if some aspects are dated, people are going to be able to sit down and watch these cartoons decades from now and still get something out of them. A lot of shows that are popular right now won't age nearly as well as Phineas and Ferb will.
