Phil of the Future (2004–2006)
8/10
A very good Disney show for it's time

At a time when many Disney shows and movies were either average or downright bad, Phil of the Future stood out like a shiny golden tower. This show seems to have a little of the magic I feel when watching Disney shows and movies from the mid-nineties and earlier. It's typical yet original.

The story revolves around Phil, a teenage boy from the future on vacation with his family. They travel to various points of the past, but they're time machine breaks down and they wind up stuck in our time. Phil and his family have to cope with our world until their time machine is fixed. This show has many cliché and typical points, yet it stays original. I love many things on this show. The humor is kind of corny but usually delivered pretty well. The characters are fantastic, the story is interesting, and the acting is good by Disney standards. May favorite thing about this show is the relationship between Phil and Keely. Keely is Phil's naive but fun and kind-hearted best friend, and the only modern person who knows that Phil is from the future.

It can get a little plain at times, and some of the guest stars are annoying, but in the end I really like this show. I'm quite sad that it only lasted two seasons. I wish it could've lasted 3 or 4 seasons. If you like Disney or like sugary family shows, you should check it out.
