Phil of the Future



First Aired in 2004

Disney Channel's hit series, Phil of the Future, tells the story of the Diffy family, a futuristic family from
the year 2121. When the eccentric dad, Lloyd, rents a time machine for their family vacation, everyone is excited.
But then something goes wrong. Their time machine malfunctions and they are thrown out of the space/time continuim in the year 2004. The time machine has broken, and Lloyd is having trouble fixing it, so he, his part-robotic wife Barbara, and his kids: fifteen-year-old Phil Diffy (Ricky Ullman) and his thirteen-year-old daughter Pim, the little menace of the family, are forced to live in the past and pretend to be a normal family in the suburban town of Pickford. The only person who knows their secret is Keely Teslow, Phil's best friend. Together they deal with the things that every teenager in 2004 must deal with: school, bullies, significant others, crushes, homework...and then add the Diffys' habit of getting into trouble by using their futuristic gadgets, such as the Wizrd, the Insta-Morph, Skyaks, the DNA Scramber, and much more.

Phil of the Future has quickly become one of Disney Channel's most popular new shows, and is quickly following
in the footsteps of their hit shows Lizzie McGuire and That's So Raven. As of October 2004, the show was #1 in its slot among tweens and kids, with roughly four million viewers total per episode.

Ricky Ullman, (Pixel Perfect) Plays Phil Diffy, And Amy Bruckner, (American Dragon: Jake Long) Plays Pim Diffy. Douglas Tuber (Lizzie McGuire) is creator and executive producer of the series. Tom Burkhard and Matt Dearborn (Even Stevens) and Tim O'Donnell (Clueless) are executive producers.

Broadcast Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, all broadcast times are 6:30PM Weekends with repeats at 11:00PM. Check your local listing for "ABC Kids" broadcast times in your area since many stations show Phil at different times. (All times Eastern Daylight.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What were the original plans for Phil of the Future?

A. Phil of the Future was originally supposed to center around a boy at the age of 12 under the title The Out of Timersbut was later changed into a 15 year old teenager. The title changed with it of course.

Q. How old is Phil? Some sites say 16 and some say 15. Which is true?


A. He is 15 and in the 10th Grade in the show. Ricky Ullman is truly 19 and has now graduated high school.

Q. Is Ricky single?

A. Unknown[b]

Q. How many Seasons will Phil of the Future have?

A. When a show is signed onto Disney Channel it (if it is renewed for episodes) only gets a total of 65 episodes then Disney ends the series. the only two Disney Channel shows to go over the limit were That's So Raven(finished the very last episode in March 2005), and Honey I Shrunk the Kids the Tv Series. But the difference between Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Raven is that Raven was renewed out of popularity, Honey.... was out of goof when Disney renewed the third season. We can only hope that Philreaches over the limit and a possible movie!


Q. How can Pim and Phil go to the same school?

A. The same way many other people do. Not all schools sit in one grade range. Their school is both a middle school and high school combined. It starts at 7th grade and ends with 12th grade.



Biographies of Main Characters

Phil Diffy: Phil is the main character of the show. He has to deal with a brilliant sister, his mechanic illiterate father, his slightly funky mom, and a caveman older than his great grandparents. Did I forget to mention being stuck in the past without a clue! But thanks to Keely, he might be able to handle it.

Pim Diffy: Phil's strong willed, tough on the outside and sweet on the inside little sister. She is very bright and very full of mischievousness and pranks. While Pim may appear to have some rough edges, she is always there to help in a pinch.

Lloyd Diffy: Phil's mad scientist father who seems very creeped out about the move. He might be a little crazy but that's why they love him.

Barbara Diffy: The artificial-body mother of the family. She seems to take into the past very easily, but now she has to make the rest feel the same way...(for United States viewers the role of Barbara being a robot has been thrown out. In the second season worldwide Barbara will no longer have a robotic body.)

Keely Teslow: Phil's best friend. She is probably the reason why Phil survived the dangers of High School in this century. She's sweet, kind, beautiful, and a little joyful, everything you need in a friend!

Debbie Berwick: is a punctual and peppy 7th grader who's friends with Pim Diffy. She can be a pain to Pim, but is very useful at times. She is also a Teacher's Pet, she sweet & also can be goofy. She also always sneeks up on Pim when Pim try to say something underneath her breath.

Phil of the Future Theme Song

Meet a boy named Phil and his family
On vacation from the 22nd century
They got a rented time-machine and they're on their way
To a time way, way, way back in the day

CHORUS
So now he's Phil , Phil, Phil of the Future
*Keeping it together just as best as he can
Phil, Phil, Phil of the Future
He's a 22nd century man
A 22nd century man...

...On a holiday through history,
But the final destination was a mystery
But something on the time-machine had blown
So they ended up right here in our time-zone

So now he's Phil, Phil, Phil of the Future,
Never knew in history just where he would land
Phil, Phil, Phil of the Future
He's a 22nd century man
A 22nd century man
Phil, Phil, Phil of the Future
He's a 22nd century man
A 22nd century man
