After we lost Wander over Yonder and Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil was the only thing keeping me coming back to Disney XD. I'm happy to say that Milo Murphy's Law gave me the constant smile of Wander Over Yonder while simultaneously giving me the childlike thrill of something on the lines of Phineas and Ferb. I think Weird Al is an excellent addition to an "easy on the ears" voice cast and he suits the role fittingly. The plot gives some excellent storytelling potential. Of course, it's not even needed when the entire concept of Murphy's Law could be used for fun. I love how absolutely careless Milo is on his adventures. It really shows how he's grown to his chaotic lifestyle. I'm definitely looking forward to the direction this show takes! This is the kind of animation we need to keep pushing out to the young and old alike.
Hell, in my opinion, this is BETTER than Phineas and Ferb. Even though I still love Phineas And Ferb, Milo Murphy's Law is a far superior show with more jokes, interesting plots, a few clichés that aren't that bad to be honest, and TONS of Phineas And Ferb references and jokes (Not even counting the recent crossover). The story stars Milo Murphy, a descendant from the man whom Murphy's law (the law that states that anything that can go wrong will) is named after, navigating through his normal life and school life as Murphy's law causes pure chaos to happen around him and everyone around him. His two friends, Melissa and Zack, also have to navigate through the utter chaos that happens around Milo whilst simultaneously hanging out with him and looking out for him. Each character in the show is full of life and personality and general likability. I love Milo's care-free and can-do attitude whilst everything goes wrong behind him. He seems to have something to help stop the calamity that happens at all times so he doesn't show much concern when something awful happens. He sees everything as a fun adventure and that's why he's the only main character I've liked more than the others in any form of media for a LONG time. Zack is slightly cowardly but likes hanging around Milo, and Melissa is very supportive of Milo and Zack and also has her share of funny lines. Not only does the show reference and sometimes even make fun of Phineas And Ferb but it's also set in the same universe, allowing the recent Phineas And Ferb crossover to actually be a logical thing to happen unlike most crossovers. The shows jokes come from either clever word play, cutaway jokes that Family Guy WISHES it could have, making fun of Phineas And Ferb, ridiculous misunderstandings, slapstick (which isn't used as much as the shows predecessor), and the constant foiling of the plans set up by these two guys who own a Pistachio selling business, who basically act as butt monkey characters who never really are actually hurt but rather just have their missions ruined, so they aren't really sent through a living hell but rather a slight misfortune which is something that Spongebob should take note of. Overall, really good show. It takes Murphy's law and turns it into an entertaining cartoon that has sort of put Disney XD back on the map after Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder ended (not counting how Star vs. the Forces Of Evil has turned from a good show into an amazing one in the span of 2 years). The characters are likable, the jokes constantly punch, and it's just in general a very enjoyable show. Hope it goes just as long, if not longer than Phineas And Ferb, and since they can do anything with the Murphy's law concept, that means it won't get as stale as Phineas And Ferb after 4 seasons. Rock on Dan and Jeff!
I have to say, I did not expect to enjoy this show THIS much. After rewatching Phineas & Ferb, I had no idea what cartoon could be as enjoyable to get into. That's when I heard of Milo Murphy's Law. I had no idea that the series existed. I had no idea that the characters are fantastic. I had no idea that actual important plot points from Phineas & Ferb were being continued in this.
Admittedly, I had little idea what was going on in the first couple of episodes. Especially with the pistachio people. I thought they would be some weird comic relief serving characters who'd appear in each episode to protect some nuts. Oh, how wrong I was! I was blown away by their overlapping story arc and the chemistry between those two characters became more and more fantastic.
And then there's Milo Murphy himself. I know of one rule to create the perfect character: have bad luck put them in trouble, and have them use their own wit to get out of it. A perfect example of a character that does the exact opposite is Jar Jar Binks: he gets in trouble because of his own stupidity, but gets out by pure luck. And what a coincidence it is that Jar Jar Binks is the most hated character of all time! But I don't like making too many comparisons, which is why I'll just say this: Milo is a great, optimistic boy who is a lot of fun to watch. And so are the incredibly daring, yet human side characters.
And of course, then there's season two, which had me completely hooked. It's not a secret that Doofenshmirtz is my favorite character from Phineas & Ferb, but I didn't expect he would STILL be as enjoyable to watch in a different series. I mean, he has perfect chemistry with almost every character. Milo's sister even has a more interesting sibling-rivalry with Doofenshmirtz, a random old guy who just showed up one day, than with her actual brother! It's crazy how Dr. D after all this time, all his SCREEN time, still manages to be so much fun to watch.
I really hope this show will continue on Disney+. I don't think it's really a kid's show, though. I'm in my twenties and I enjoyed Phineas & Ferb more at my age now than I did when I was twelve, and Milo Murphy's Law seems to be even more mature, for the most part. I know there's a Phineas & Ferb movie coming out soon as well, but honestly? I'd rather have a next season of this gem.
(That doesn't mean I'm not excited about the movie, though. Keep up the good work!)

While Phineas and Ferb was about positive things everywhere and running the same formula every episode, Milo Murphy's Law is different! It's about slice of life, how the life throws eggs at you. Murphy's Law is an adventure, and that's the "deep" lesson the show gave to you. Milo Murphy's Law not only has well-done episode, free-plot instead of a similar plot like P&F, simple but humorous story, has its own story plot on the 1st season, but the characters here are also well-building. I even find myself in the show. 'Bad things' may happen, but you'll just stay positive! There are not enough of kind words to describe the show. I rate this 10/10 and encourage people to give this show a chance, to prove itself more in the future!
Great show for family entertainment. I also highly recommendable this show to anyone who love cartoons shows
