Phil of the Future
A comedy that's ahead of its time!
Created by Tim Maile, Douglas Tuber
A cheerful, family-centered fish-out-of-water sitcom where a futuristic family's time-travel mishap becomes the setup for lighthearted comedy and earnest warmth.
Meet 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 continuum in the year 2004.
