I 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).

This show was pretty good!! The acting was ok but the story was on point!! A family wanted to go on an adventure to the prehistoric times. Instead, they had an adventure in today's society. Love the story. It's too bad there wasn't a third season.

This show would have to be one of the best shows on Disney Channel. People who complain about graphics and things don't get the full picture. They're not trying to make something with a bad story-line and fantastic graphics, they're trying to make something with an interesting story-line, and graphics as best as they can do them, it's not like they can spend millions and millions of dollars on a TV show, be more realistic. Also, I don't get why people complain about shows being rubbish, why don't they just not watch them? Anyway, this show is great. It offers humor, romance, conflict, etc. This show isn't supposed to be for people 20 and over, it's for kids and teens, and quite frankly, I wouldn't change anything about it.

Phil Diffy (Raviv Ullman) is trying to be in 9th grade. The problem is that he's from the year 2121. The family's rented time machine broke down while vacationing around history. He befriends sweet cute Keely Teslow (Aly Michalka). His father can't seem to fix the time machine while his mother is eager to fit in. His younger sister Pim (Amy Bruckner) is power mad scheming to take over. Debbie Berwick is her super nice bubbly friendly nemesis. There is also Curtis, the Caveman and Vice Principal Neil Hackett both played by J. P. Manoux.

It's a light wacky Disney kids show. The great thing is the likable characters and the adorable actors. Keely is super nice and that's actually a rarity. Her character sets this show apart. It's really touching when she finds Phil's fake toe and Phil comes clean to her about his secret. It's harmless fun and endearing. The only problem is that they can't seem to keep some of the secondary actors around.

At the age of twelve I was just the right age for this show when it initially came out to really get sucked into it. I thought a lot of the jokes were kind of corny and a lot of the effects were really played down, but what can you expect from a 2000s Disney show? The plot as a kid was entertaining and the show was a lot of fun to watch and a lot of lighthearted humor in there. If you know someone between the ages of eight and thirteen this would be a great show for them to get into, but good luck finding it as a full collection of episodes never got a home release and only a small collection of episodes actually came out on Disney compilation DVDs. My only issue with the show has to be with how open-ended they left the series finale and how they tried to cram so much plot into that one final episode to try and appease fans.

I miss this show. To be honest, it was the last truly good, funny show on Disney Channel. The shows now are getting to be pathetic and unrealistic. No average teen girl leads a double life as a pop star and a normal eighth-grader where GASP! No one knows who she is! And no regular adolescent guy's dad goes to be the White House chef. They think these plot lines are realistic when they're not. Anyway, back to my point...

Phil of the Future didn't TRY to be realistic! The point was the fantasy in it. It was fun and humorous because we knew someone could never come from the future in reality, and we liked to imagine it happening. However, none of us were trying to dress like elementary school sluts and pretend that we could sing like a pop star because Hannah Montana made us think it was possible. That's what's happening to the "Disney Channel" age group right now. When shows like POTF and Lizzie McGuire on, we had both totally fantasy shows and shows about life.

I wish Disney Channel didn't change.

this TV show has been around for a while now. I've seen all the shows back to back. the thing i like about it is that how they made the past setting the present year like right now. if the setting was set back in the dinosaur ages well people would get bored. because this TV show is set in the present some people can relate to the everyday thing they do in the show. i can relate to Phil well except that i am not good at math like he is lol, but I'm a lot like him in a sense. and i think alyson michalka pulled off a good act and really made her first acting gig a good kick off. they say that Phil of the future will end and not have a 3ird season, I'm trying to get them to make a 3ird season and if there is anyone who wants to save Phil of the future e-mail me at asian_sexmechine@hotmail.com and tell me your thoughts on the final season of the show. overall this is a 10+ show for anyone, because maybe you to can relate to a person in the show.

its a pretty good show to watch, there are many great things about Phil of the future. Its very original and kinda funny sometimes. I love how they use all the cool gadgets and devices from the future. The plot is very neat and cool. all the characters fit in their roles well and the season gets better as its goes on. The first season was good then the second season got much better. Phil was more older and the story turned a little but it was still the same. Pim is still a fat little bi*** but that okay.

Its a great show to watch, its a shame the show went very quickly, there should have been more episodes but oh well, it was great while it lasted.

I highly recommend people to watch this show

I only see this show whenever no other show runs on the television. This show is about a family from the future stuck in the present world due to a faulty time machine. Phil is the lead character, Lloyd is his father, Lisse Simms is his mother and Pim is his sister. Phil has some friends but his best friend is Keely. There is also an ape called Curtis.

About the acting, I feel that Phil is a good actor but can improve his acting a lot. I cannot feel his emotions during the show. Keely is a better actress who does show her feelings pretty well but tends to be a bit stupid at times. Lloyd's problem is that he is always shown as a worried man, and does not have much of a role. Lisse does not fulfill her motherly qualities. Curtis has to behave a bit more ancestor type. He is shown too stupid as an ancestor. Now about Pim. She is the world's worst actress who is a rude, snobbish girl who spoils the show. She is shown to be rude to her brother, her teachers, her friends and also tells lies to her parents. This is not at all the way a girl should behave. Her acting is also hopeless. Her friend in the show, Debora or something like that, is a much better actress who is sweet and polite, a perfect girl.

The plots of this show are good and different but the show becomes boring as all the lines spoken in the show are not so memorable or new. Even the characters behave oddly and so do the teachers in the show.

The show is pretty dull and so I rate it a... 5 out of ten.

I think Phil of the Future is the best Disney show I have ever seen! A couple of years ago I used to like watching Lizzie McGuire, that show was funny but Phil of the Future is a lot better. I watch this show all of the time and even my parents like it. All the actors in this show are super funny. Phil and Pim are my favorite since they are always fighting with each other. The way Phil and Pim get along reminds me of the way it is my house with my brother and I. Phil of the Future is not like any other TV show I have seen before, all of the future gadgets make you wish you can live in the future. I don't know of any person who doesn't like this TV show, so I recommend that you watch it too!!

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.

According 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.

My sister and I were watching this show, and we realized why it's so good. You see, the acting's sort of over the top, like stage acting, but it's on TV! Other than that, there's the randomness, which is nice.

PS~other Disney shows suck, but this is awesome, dudes! crazy awesome hott

cool

dudes

man oh man oh man totally awesome we love Ricky Ullman sooo much better than Tracy Ullman or not I dunno are they related? whatever OK bye I'm audi :) ;) seriously I'm leaving now ... ... ... Bye.

Lets get things straight, the plot is way to obviously obvious. The Acting is terrible, worse then The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (but I actually like that show) Ricky Ullman has been praised in the Disney Channel Studio for some reason after that retarded movie Pixel Perfect and started to be loved by the Channel.

Alyson McShacka or however you spell it is the only one who is a kid that can act. She is pretty also, but I don't understand how they try to get Phil and Her together if they are 100 years apart. But she is a good actor and has a career going for her on Disney Channel.

I forgot the name but, Pim, is the worst actor in the entire show, she can not act evil and Ricky Ullman and Pim cannot switch because they can't act in the first place.

The Parents, they are some of my favorite characters. They save the show if it is getting boring. 'Nough said.

Curtis and Mr. Hackett are the funniest characters and no one can change that beside the fact that they stopped making the episode.

Well, it is a bad show, but the last characters make the show better Thank you for your time

I was very impressed with Disney's newest show Phil of the Future. It gave new life to the Disney channel. Plus, it is very different from Lizzie Mcguire, Even Stevens, Thats so Raven Etc. If you think about it this is the only Disney channel show (with real people) that has a different plot than:

"teens trying to find there place in life and survive the brutal life of jr high/high school."

i mean the POTF plot is SO different than that. And i am SO glad its not another Lizzie Mcguire. Aside from the annoying sound effects every 30 seconds and the out of order episodes, this is a well thought out planned Disney channel show. And Ricky Ullmans (Phil) acting is great and he plays the role of Phil perfectly. Amy Bruckner (Pim) brings comedy and life to the show. And Alyson Michalka (Keely) is a great choice for the roll of Keely. All in All, this is a great Disney show and i will continue to watch it.

Phil of the future is adorable. Ricky Ulman and Allison Michalka have GREAT on screen chemistry. The very beginning episodes are not quite as cute but once they get into the groove of the show it is absolutely wonderful. I am so sad that the show was cancelled. I don't like the parts of the show that feature Pim as much but they are sometimes funny. The parts with Phil and Keely are so cute! The plots are generally very cute and fun. The show is clean and funny. I love it! Allison Michalka and Ricky Ullman are both good actors and are very funny. You always root for them to get together. I highly recommend this show!

Disney 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!

For everyone who hates this show and wonders why they don't speak in some sort of futuristic language, remember, IT IS A KID'S SHOW! The acting isn't great, but I do like Phil's character. Ricky Ullman is actually a pretty good actor who will be in a lot of moves in the near future. You always know he's going to do something that will make the situation right. I don't really like when they start talking about Pim a lot, but I guess they have to fill the entire 30 minutes. I don't understand why some people are critiquing this show like it's on primetime network TV, but whatever floats their boat.

Anyway, this is probably my favorite Disney Channel show (without much competition).

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.
