Trivia:

In the original show concept Barbara Diffy was going to have a detachable head and a robotic body which is why the character is wearing chokers and turtle necks throughout the first season to cover up where her head was supposed to come off. However, all scenes of this idea were cut out during the episodes aired, despite clips being included in some of the early advertisements.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Phil becomes a statue, his arms move slightly.

Quotes:

Keely Teslow: [cheerfully] Hey! So I got your message. Where's your racket?
Phil Diffy: My dad says our puddinator project will draw a lot of attention and that people will find out that we're from the future... My family has to move.
Keely Teslow: This is crazy! We had all these plans! We were gonna go fishing this summer and I hate fishing. The only reason I was gonna go was because I thought it'd be fun with you!
[pause]
Keely Teslow: S-so when are you leaving?
Phil Diffy: Tonight.
Keely Teslow: T-tonight? This isn't fair! It just seems like kids should have a say in whether they move or not!
Phil Diffy: [quietly] Tell me about it.
Keely Teslow: So, you wanna play one last game of tennis?
[throws the ball to Phil]

Best Disney Show Ever!

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!!
