Summary
The Diffy family left on vacation from the year 2121 but their rented time machine malfunctioned and they were thrown into the year 2004. Now Lloyd, his wife Barbara, and his kids Phil and Pim, are forced to pretend to be a normal family in suburban Pickford.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) This show has the best premise where the Diffy family came from the future and are staying in the present.
 * 2) Memorable characters such as Phil, Keely, Pim, Lloyd, Barbara, and Curtis.
 * 3) Great acting, especially from Raviv Ullman, Aly Michalka, Amy Bruckner Craig Anton Lise Simms.
 * 4) It has some interesting moments, like when Phil tells Keely that he and his family had come from the future.
 * 5) Some guest stars from other Disney Channel shows and movies also made their appearance, such as Orlando Brown (The Proud Family, That's So Raven), Kay Panabaker (Life Is Ruff, Read It and Weep), and Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, The Suite Life on Deck) and Brandon Mychal Smith (Sonny with a Chance).
 * 6) The theme song itself was very catchy.
 * 7) Some great episodes like "Future Jock", "Team Diffy", "Christmas Break", and the series finale, "Back to the Future".
 * 8) Speaking of which, "Back to the Future" was a perfect way to end of the show, where Phil and Keely kiss, before he and his family go back to the future.
