When this show was being promoted, I was really interested when I heard it was coming from the makers of Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire. I loved this show, I thought the 1st season was good, but I got really pulled in by season 2, it was much better, the plots are always something different, and the characters are awesome and funny. The whole cast is really talented, and Phil and Keely's friendship is amazing, I'm so glad they actually became a couple, Pim may be evil, but she's entertaining enough, Phil's parents are interesting and they're a joy to watch on screen, but I've got to give props to JP Manoux, who's job is twice as challenging, because he plays the well-meaning but suspicious Vice Principal Hackett, and the savage, caveman Curtis, he does a really good job that sometimes you even forget that he plays both characters.Now I just gotta say that why did this show have to be cancelled?!?!? It was genius, the thought of being from the future and stuck in the present is a fun idea for a TV show, and it was getting so much more interesting and entertaining by the 2nd season, so out of every Disney Channel show that was cancelled, this one didn't deserve to be, it just happened randomly. JONAS changed it's concept entirely by its 2nd season, so that show was asking for its own cancellation, and Cory in the House well, was a spin-off, so no matter what direction it decided to go in, it was already doomed to be a short-lived series. Anyway, this show could've gone on for another season or 2, and it's obvious that they left a cliffhanger, because they left Curtis the caveman behind, so what would the Diffy's do, go back for him or would their time machine break down again, thus prolonging their time period of being stuck in the present? This show was too good to be cancelled, and I miss it a lot, it definitely has the same essence and humor of Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, and that's because the creators of this show were writers on Lizzie McGuire, so it makes sense. 10/10, MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... View MoreAccording to Phil of the Future we're destined for all kinds of good things in the next century. Time travel will be a regular thing and folks will be able to take family vacations in say, ancient Pompeii. I say established and not perfected. Because when the family camper that doubles as a time machine breaks down in the beginning of the 21st century, that's a bummer.Until repairs are made you just make do. Which is what the Diffy family which includes Craig Anton as Dad, Lise Simms as Mom, Amy Bruckner as the younger sister and the title role played by Disney bubble gum heartthrob Ricky Ullman. Oh and there's also the caveman hitchhiker they picked up, Curtis played by J.P. Manoux. He's had the biggest adjustment problem.It's not the best Disney comedy series from a studio that puts them out like an assembly line. Phil of the Future has completed its run now and it's lasted for three seasons which seems to be the average for a Disney show. The studio seems to yank them in order to keep pushing fresh new faces before the American public and before that public gets tired of the shows.Two people garnered the biggest laughs in this show. The first was Amy Bruckner as Pym Diffy the younger sister. She hates the backward 21st century with a passion. But since she's so far advanced than the other kids she's trying to blend in with, her bids for megalomaniacal control become funny because they were so ludicrous. If she were a bit more serious the girl could be a 21st century Ayatollah.The second is J.P. Manoux who also doubles as the fussy Vice Principal of their school as well as the troglodyte Curtis. He suspects something's not kosher with the Diffys and every week he keeps trying to find out. Some of his material is really funny.Disney has done better and done worse with its television series than Phil of the Future. But they're keeping it together just as best as they can.
... View MoreDisney Channel has been VERY disappointing lately with the quality of their shows. Lizzie Miguire and Even Stevens were great, and thats why i started to watch Disney Channel. Phil of the Future quickly became my favorite show, with great acting, and great cast, and its absolutely hilarious! When Disney started to make these new shows, like Life with Derek, and The Buzz on Maggie, i simply stopped watching Disney Channel except to catch Phil of the Future. Even my mom loves Phil. Shes its one of the only great Disney shows left. Its a real shame that its canceled. I'm fighting to save the show and i hope that other fans will join me. Phil of the Future needs our help!
... View MoreI love "Phil of the Future"! It is such a great Disney Channel Show. At first I was skeptical at the commercials thinking it would be just another dumb show, but I was really surprised. Once I started watching it I liked it more and more. It's pretty funny. I think it throws the jokes in at just the right time and I also think there are so many cute moments in this between Phil and Keely (I know, I'm a Pheely fan!). Pim is a really hilarious character and most of the words from her mouth are big laughs. I think all the acting is well done and that it is a good change from the usual shows because it's a completely different theme from everything else with the Diffy's coming from the future. This show seems to have a pretty good range in fans to. Older and younger kids can like this. Younger kids because it's funny and has all of these cool gadgets and older kids because of the great chemistry between Pheely and also the comedy. I'd definitely recommend this as I think it's the best show Disney Channel has right now (prefer this to Suite Life and Raven).
