This is a superb show! It has a wonderful script, a wonderful cast and a fantastic plot! Whilst heading home from a holiday in the Stoneage period, the Diffy's get stranded in the current time frame (a time frame that is 118 years into their past) and must try to fit in as best as they can. This is done extreemely well indeed. In fact I would go so far as to say that they managed to fit in a bit too. well. There are good points and band points to that. It would be nice if more was made of them being out of time and out of place such as having a few more futuristic gadgets around the house that have to be explained away as being normal things used in the current time zone or things that are futuristic but actually COULD be used in the current time. Such as a hover chair that rises and moves the person from one room to another just by speech or thought before lowering itself down and making sure the person sitting in it is comfortable. Or a thing that looks like a telephone on the outside but inside it is all sorts of wizardry that means it could say, make real things appear when a button on it is pressed and the item is spoken into the telephone. The time machine is a bit like that idea in the sense that on the outside it looks like a mobile home but the inside it definitely isn't! More of the supporting cast and a bit less of the main two would be better to. The cast are amazing. They all play their parts superbly well, that's why I want more of the supporting cast on screen. The order of screen time is this: Ricky Ullman and Allyson Michalka get the vast majority of it followed by Amy Bruckner and then Craig Anton and Lise Simms But I would like to see more of the parents and the sister. The screen time in some episodes could be equal so that their characters could bounce off each other more often and Bruckner and especially Simms and Anton could show their characters off more. Thank the lord Disney thought about us adults as well as the children when casting! Michalka is seriously pretty (as is her sister Amanda but her sister isn't on this program and she is younger by a little more than 2 years) Ullman is seriously handsome and both make great pin-ups and for the teens to fawn and drool over and us adults can do the same with the parents! Anton is a handsome looking man but for me (being male) Simms is just SO pretty! What a shame I'm too old to have pin-ups on my wall! Lol. Ah well, such is life. You Must Watch This Programme! OOhh. I almost went without mentioning the last supporting cast member, from the and also directs some of the programmes. He is J-P Manoux and plays the part of Curtis, a stowaway from the Diffy's holiday and the part of the slightly effeminate Vice Principle Hackett (if there is a Vice Principle then surely there is a principle? Why do we not see him or her?) and does both wonderfully. We see a fair bit of Hackett and not enough of Curtis who is even more out of place than the Diffy's are in this time period and I'd like to see more of that explored and for both characters to get in total an equal amount of screen time as everyone else overall. Like I said before, YOU MUST WATCH THIS PROGRAMME as it is Superb! Don't just watch one or two and think oh, I don't like this. If you do that then you must keep watching it as it WILL grow on you! There will be those that like me, will watch just one programme and be instantly hooked! I give this a very deserved 10/10 as unfortunately not everything can be achieved in around half an hour! This program easily has the potential to get turned into a full-length feature film and I for one hope it does!
