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 turtlenecks throughout the first season - to cover up where her head was supposed to detach. However, all scenes of this idea were cut out once the episodes began airing, despite clips being included in some of the early advertisements. This was because, at the time, Iraqi beheading videos were being circulated on the internet and Disney did not want to appear insensitive or mocking.

Goofs
When Phil and Keely's teacher is handing out a test, it can be seen that some of the tests are already marked with an "F".

Quotes
Phil Diffy: I don't wanna be your girlfriend. I wanna be your *boy*friend.
[stops startled and off Keely's equally surprised look]
Phil Diffy: I mean, your friend... who's a boy. A guy. A guy friend.
Keely Teslow: Why didn't you tell me?
Phil Diffy: I didn't know how.
Keely Teslow: Phil, you can tell me anything.
[takes him by his shoulders]
Keely Teslow: I'm your girlfriend. I, I, I mean... your friend who's a girl. A gal. A gal friend.

First of all, for those who are dissin' Phil Of The Future, please learn to spell *rolls eyes*.

Now. Phil of the Future has its good points and bad points. Ricky and Alyson are great actors and actresses, and just because Alyson is blonde and skinny, doesn't mean you need to diss her. The girl that plays Pim is a rising star, and keeps the rivalry between her and Debby fresh. Although the plot lines could be better, and the special effects are so so, you can really see that the actors and actresses are dealing with the lines they have been given as best as possible. My comments for Disney? Liven up the plots, make them a bit more original, and put in some of those superb special effects you know you can do, and this could be a great show! PS: *alot* of the actors and actresses on Disney are older than who they play. Deal with it. It just makes them more mature. Raven is 19. So what? The girl that played Christine in Phantom Of The Opera is 18, and your not complaining about that.
