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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't say enough about Phil of the Future. It has a perfect mix of comedy, futuristic gadgets, and romance, so that everyone can find what they are looking for. I enjoy it because unlike most other Disney shows that keep romance as the third, fourth, or even fifth storyline, the writers have given the romantic side of this show a lot of emphasis, and it deserves it with an incredible cast of Ricky and Aly, but haven't overplayed it too much. As a result we get an incredibly funny show that almost always leaves us with a bit more to chew on in the Phil-Keely love story.In my opinion the casting is superb, and the main reason why this show has been such a giant success. Unfortunately, as a Disney Channel show, it has expectedly enjoyed a rather short lifespan of two seasons despite its popularity. However, those two seasons and 43 episodes could not have told the story better. With its fantastic writing and its "something-for-everyone" feel, Phil of the Future is destined to go down as one of Disney's most well-loved shows of all time.

I'm no kid, in fact my kids are grown and moved out. I miss not having an excuse to see kids movies and TV shows, and I run into a few with adult appeal. The writing on Phil is a level above the other Disney's adolescent comedies. I find this show hilarious, in a Simpsons/Sponge Bob Squarepants sort of way. They like to spoof plot conventions. For example, upset with her teacher Pim says to herself, "She'll learn who she's dealing with!" Then the teacher pops back and corrects her grammar: "With whom she's dealing, Pim!" The characters are very appealing, and the dad is sublimely dorky. (I know, I've been there). The cast seems to be having a lot of fun with the material. I'd like to see other shows from this production team.

Remember watching the promos didn't think much about it. Seeing the name, thought what the heck is that? Phil doing his introduction talking about "threads", thought now here's a guy trying to be hip when he's obviously a loser. Being it so long ago, I don't remember what exactly my feelings were about the actual show but I'm pretty sure I was thinking it would have too much freaks for my tastes. whatever I was stupid back then, for crying out loud I did NOT even notice how cute Raviv Ullman was. I didn't really give it a chance.One day was bored thought it can't be too bad if shown couple eppys already. Future Jock. I wasn't really into POTF but meh, I get tired of the same stuff, why not watch something different? About 10min in: "I am definitely watching this, it's pretty good." few episodes later, I couldn't tear away then noticed how much of an adorable guy Raviv was. seems I like this show for Raviv but that's not the only reason. as days went by I grew to love the whole bit of POTF.Dunno what attracts me to this (besides Raviv) but IT'S AWESOME AND MY FAVORITE!!! I watch TV just for that. would be less confusing if u see more of promo but it's unnecessary. not what the show is really about. it's about a guy everyone thinks is an alienboy. trying to hide the fact that he's from the future. those of you who said special effects were annoying, they aren't really. If you really pay attention to the plot they won't be a problem. not too over-the-top to be distracting. cool. it shows true potential when a show doesn't rely on big budget effects. a show needs to be focused on the plot and that's exactly what this show does. Honestly, I love many of the characters. couldn't choose. Pim, sure she's annoying but supposed to be that way. she can't be more annoying than the younger siblings you have at home. she's not your typical annoying sister, she's annoyance TO THE HIGHEST and that's what makes her rock!!! so devious. I adore the whole part w/Pim vs. Debbie. so hilarious!!! course Debbie is too nice but it balances out when you have extremes. was sad to see her go but that's why they had new guest stars and they are pretty exciting people. besides it's good they are up to her level. Phil can be a jerk sometimes but inside he's a really good charming person. so lovable and it helps that he's cute. Keely may look ditsy but there's more to her that meets the eye,she's actually pretty smart. shes popular but that makes it all the more touching, her to like the "school freak" and get others to follow her. shows how society can grow. parents not as*flavorful* but what do u expect they're parents. dad funny and it's so nice to watch him mess it up, he thinks he knows it all. Mom bit perky that's cool. Mr Hackett is teacher,biggest loser yet but that's what makes him so hilarious. others don't have much to say about them, they're entertaining and different. Curtis I don't really like but the good thing is he's not shown often. I guess it kinda adds to theme, having a foreign character.All the gadgets are cool too. interesting to see what each thing does and if it messes up. All actors does exceptional playing their roles. Characters & situations excellent. series very original yet typical. I guess you could say it's typical situations and people done in an original way. this is good because you can relate these characters to your own life. You got the mom who always believes in doing the right thing, the goofy dad who thinks himself as "the big man", the sweet charming guy who doesn't fit in, ditzy blonde, snobby fashion diva wannabe, kid sister always thinking of a way to play a trick on someone, mathlete: Seth, guy w/cheesy pickup lines who thinks he's all that: Owen ( a lot of people like that), snobby evil cheerleader type: Candida and the hip kid: Lil' Danny. this show also contains lessons (e.g. get to know someone even though they're different they may be an incredible person {Future Tutor, Keely joining Phil}, put a limit on trust {Your Cheatin' Heart, Tanner}, the time when Pim and Phil help each other out shows you should always stick up for your family, overcome your fears {My Way}, don't get too cocky and try to handle things on your own {Double Trouble} and many more) that are hidden well enough not to focus on educational aspects and take the fun out. >I sure hope all us fans can save the show cuz television would be suffering a great loss! makes me crack up, romantic aspects, cutesy, kool (notice KOOL not cool) and touches my heart like you wouldn't believe. FOR ALL AGES. you want proof? I'm 18 and look how I feel about it. brings out the inner child. even my mom likes watching it w/me.*Yes I know I'm obsessed w/this show but how can you not be. I'm sure if given the chance you'd grow to like it (although maybe not as much as me) take my word for it, check it out. if you see the show in the way I do, it's sure to be a hit.
