Indeed. I was mulling over some ideas last week, and they just popped into my head. I would say that, like Steed and Mrs. Peel, they aren't _actually_ those characters, but merely fen that have grabbed ahold of the concept of those characters and run with them. So, probably no Agent P lurking in the background, although I suspect that Blackstone probably has the Doofenschmirtz Evil, Inc. jingle as his ringtone for the Professor.
For those totally missing the reference, the two boys in question are Phineas and Ferb, the titular characters from a Disney cartoon currently being shown on the Disney cable channels. Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb spend each day of their summer vacation coming up with outlandish things to do, many of which approach handwavium-level impossibilities (the first episode involved them builing a giant roller coaster across their hometown of Danville, and it gets wackier from there). Along for the ride are their friends, including Isabella, the leader of the local "Fireside Girls" troop, who has a crush on Phineas; their sister Candace, who constantly tries to rat them out to their mother, generally unsuccessfully; and Perry, their pet platypus, who is also the mysterious Agent P, a secret agent who matches wits with the evil Dr. Doofenschmirtz in every episode (Doof is about as evil as an ingrown toenail, and nowhere near as dangerous, so this isn't terribly difficult for Perry). Every episode generally begins with a setup that has Phineas declaring, "Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!"
The show is funny and very smartly written for something mostly aimed at preteens and teens.
