Review(s): DVD Phil of the Future - Gadgets & Gizmos
Not too bad but 4 eps is a rip off
This dvd isnt too bad, I'm not really into POTF but I run a fansite on Amy Bruckner [amy-bruckner.net] and so I got the dvd to make caps and will get another DVD if Disney brings it out.
The only problem I have with it is it's only got 4 episodes..why on earth didnt they release all of Season 1? probably because they knew they could get more money for them if they do it bit by bit.
I love this show!
I love the show Phil of the Future, and I'm so glad that they have made a DVD of some of the episodes. Phil is one of my favorite shows ever...it's hilarious! Phil now shows from Monday-Friday at 6:30 PM/5:30 central. This is definitely a good collection of funny, good episodes plus a brand-new bonus episode. I disagree with the voter below that people aren't tuning in to see Curtis the Caveman. Curtis is hilarious, and he's what makes the show really unique. (I do MAINLY tune in to watch Phil and Keely though.) Bloopers would be something good to add, because they always help viewers to get a good laugh. Other than that, this is a great collection of episodes, and Phil of the Future is a great show worth watching at least occasionally.
Easy ways to make it better.
First of all I love the show and any nitpick I have is out of love. That being said this DVD is a good introudction to POTF for any people that haven't seen it. However this DVD is a dissapointment to big fans of POTF. Why?
1.The commentary should have contained Ricky Ullman AND Alyson Michalka? Why? With all due respect to Pim most people watch POTF because they are Pheely shippers. So it's just natural for Ricky and Alyson do the commentary together instead of Ricky by himself.
2.I know Disney isn't big on chronological order but couldn't they at least have thrown in the pilot?
3.Very little extras.
My suggestion is for Disney to go straight to the superb season 2 episodes for the next DVD release. Get a nice cover shot of Keely and Phil. Make sure to have a Alyson Michalka-Ricky Ullman commentary on a very Pheely episode like Virtu-Date or Get Ready to Go-Go. Include a whole bunch of bloopers. This dosen't seem like too much to ask. Know your fanbase Disney Channel, POTF fans aren't tuning in for Curtis the Caveman.

While I do not actually OWN any of the "That's So Raven" DVDs, I am a BIG fan of the show and have seen EVERY EPISODE, including the ones featured on this DVD. They are all FANTABULOUS (especially "The Grill Next Door", which surprisingly aired before the DVD came out, but was advertised as a never-before-seen episode), and I'm sure the BONUS FEATURES are fabulous just the same. The only thing they could have done instead was keep "Country Cousins" together as one episode. But nonetheless, this is SOO GREAT! Can't wait for the FOURTH season, and the THIRD DVD (titled Raven's House Party). Oh, and season box sets for the series are in the works. :) Yay!

Capitalizing on the popularity of the Disney Channel's long-running series Even Stevens, The Even Stevens Movie follows the Stevens family in a rare moment of good fortune. Seems they've won a dream vacation to the tropics, but even a free vacation isn't always a dream. There's the usual bumbling by Louis (Shia LeBeouf), but also the family seems to be getting split up and turned against each other. Sure enough, the Stevens family is actually the unsuspecting victim on a reality show called Family Fakeout, and everyone back home in Sacramento is watching every minute of their frustration and misery. Worst of all, Ren (Christy Carlson Romano) seems to have finally met a nice boy, unaware that he's just an actor hired to romance her. The Even Stevens Movie...
