I'm no kid, in fact my kids are grown and moved out. I miss not having an excuse to see kids movies and TV shows, and I run into a few with adult appeal. The writing on Phil is a level above the other Disney's adolescent comedies. I find this show hilarious, in a Simpsons/Sponge Bob Squarepants sort of way. They like to spoof plot conventions. For example, upset with her teacher Pim says to herself, "She'll learn who she's dealing with!" Then the teacher pops back and corrects her grammar: "With whom she's dealing, Pim!" The characters are very appealing, and the dad is sublimely dorky. (I know, I've been there). The cast seems to be having a lot of fun with the material. I'd like to see other shows from this production team.
