Season 1
Phil Diffy, his sister Pim, his mother Barbara, and his father Lloyd, are from the year 2121. One day they rent a time machine for vacation and due to an accident are stuck in the year 2004. The family must adjust to life in the early 21st century while making sure that no one finds out they're from the future, hoping one day Lloyd will find all the missing parts to the time machine and they can go back home to the year 2121. Phil has a best friend named Keely Teslow who is the only person who knows his secret.
A typical episode revolves around Phil and usually Keely. A secondary plot involving Pim is also shown in the episode.
