The Diffys are your everyday family of tommorrow stuck in today! It all started when Lloyd (Craig Anton) planned a family vacation for the family in the year 2121, but who said it was all going to go right. Something went wrong with the machine and now Phil and family are stuck in the wrong mystery with the wrong clues.

50 Funniest moments in music is on VH1 today and they just showed Debra Wilson doing a Destiny's Child song parody "Beyoncelicious". They are only halfway through the countdown so who knows, there might be some more MADtv music video moments on there

I think I mention that item on the forum less than a year ago d_dumgirl.

[cartman2002]

That's O.K. d_dumgirl

Well if this is the one with the contestants who are African American Woman, and blue-collar white man, then I saw this a couple of months ago and though it was interesting to see how low key Michael really is, and how GOOD he is at the game!

IMHO,

Well starting next week, The series "Celebrity BlackJack" will premiere on GSN (formaly the Game Show Network) next friday.

I am not sure about the time however. But My guess is that it will air at 10 p.m. but check local listings for channel and time in your area.

Well anyway, One of the commentators is unless you have heard already is none other than MADtv alum Alex Bornstein. My guess is that she knows and plays the game of blackjack and will plug in her role in the upcoming movie "Catwoman" a few hundred times durning the series.

Well, hopefully everyone who loves Ms. Bornstein will watch next on GSN.

P.S. Tcha You Know What was a MADtv skit not a Game Show
Network Series.

Disney Channel Picks Up Futuristic Comedy "Phil of the Future" for Second Season

The Disney Channel has ordered a second season of its hit comedy "Phil of the Future," starring Ricky Ullman as Phil Diffy whose futuristic family becomes stuck in present day. While waiting to return home to the year 2121, the Diffys struggle to keep their secret as Phil and his incorrigible little sister Pim adjust to a new home in the suburban town of Pickford. Phil finds a trusted friend in neighbor Keely and together they navigate their school campus, grappling with the same thing that teenagers of all time must face - fitting in.

Gary Marsh, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, Disney Channel announced that as it moves into its second season, Michael Curtis ("Friends") and Roger S.H. Schulman ("The Jungle Book 2," "Shrek") will join the series as executive producers and Ivan Menchell ("The Nanny") will serve as new co-executive producer.

While episodes from its first season continue to premiere on Disney Channel, production on season two is slated to resume in Hollywood this month with Ullman and rising stars Alyson Michalka and Amy Bruckner. Rounding out the cast are Lise Simms and Craig Anton.

"Phil of the Future" premiered in June 2004, and to date, its fans have sent more than 1.7 million email messages to DisneyChannel.com.

Marsh said, "In just four months, our viewer response to the series, and especially its rising young stars, has been enormous. As we enter a second season with Michael and Roger at the helm, it's rewarding to our cast, production and programming team to witness 'Phil' following in the footsteps of 'Raven' and 'Lizzie."

In October 2004, "Phil of the Future" (Friday-Sunday, 7:00 p.m.) ranked #1 in its time period with Tweens 9-14 (3.6) and #2 with Kids 6-11 (4.2) versus all basic cable competition.*

In addition to Disney Channel (Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 p.m. ET/PT), Phil of the Future airs on the ABC Television Network as part of the Saturday morning line-up (11:00 a.m. ET/10:00 a.m. PT).
