Perhaps we should ask someone about this Murphy. Why don’t we ask Murphy about Murphy? ‘Cause that’s just what he would be expecting. That’s what anybody would be expecting.

I miss Milo Murphy's Law :(( did you have any Season 3 ideas?
jsbfksjflls I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS ANON YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE-
of course milo and zack getting chased by something big and round in the first episode (maybe some topiary thing because it would be spring)
milo and his new telepathy!! chad feels kinda down and milo gives him a hug and tells him he hopes he feels better soon. joni is uncomfortable in class because it's way too cold and milo gives her a spare jacket. bradley is nervous about not doing well on his math test and milo wishes him good luck and tells him he'll do great. amanda forgets her eraser at home and panics for a second before milo, from across the room, tosses one onto her desk.
(and all the whole everyone's just like ".........how'd you know when I didn't even SAY anything" and milo's all "well, what doesn't kill you on an alien planet only gives you telepathy!" and no one can tell if he's joking or not)
oh and speaking of bradley: an episode where he and milo get trapped in a classroom or just have to spend the entire day together and within the span of 11 minutes of one-on-one interaction with milo he kinda has a "huh. you're not so bad" kinda moment. he even lets milo hug him for an entire 2 seconds at the end!!!!
for the sake of continuity some recurring character/s have their "a big round thing is rolling through the school and it may or may not be caused by my own actions so I need to stop it before things get destroyed!!! also 'just roll with it' is magically playing in the background idk how that happened" subplot
an episode with the kiddos (the entire mid-afternoon snack club group + chad pls) spying on mr drako (chad insisted) to determine whether he really is a vampire. in the end there is still no definitive answer and everyone but chad is tired
i need dakavendish follow-up i need them to be the biggest losers in existence with each other
they absolutely have to call each other "balthazar"and "vinnie" at least once
joshua pruett mentioned that they were playing around with dakavendish being promoted and actually getting opportunities to save the world but they (particularly cavendish) end up hating it. I need that to happen. I NEED IT. the angst potential has entered the room
ZALISSA FOLLOW UP!!!! a bit of awkwardness perhaps bc they are dorks. romantic directness on the same level as S2 milanda please
also more milanda more milanda more milanda im-
another school dance episode!!
zack has to take care of his twin siblings for the day and they want to meet the other two members of the infamous trust triangle so he goes and invites milo and melissa over. chaos ensues and by the the time milo and melissa leave the house the front section of zack's lawn has been burnt to a crisp and the twins have fallen fast asleep even though it's barely 7 in the evening
MEETING YOUR SECOND DIMENSION COUNTERPARTS???? since season 3 was supposed to be directed towards interdimensional stuff??
bonus points if dakavendish is canon in the second dimension
milo goes over to amanda's house to work on a project at one point and amanda already warned her parents about murphy's law and told them to baby proof their most prized possessions. they both end up taking a liking to milo and his positivity while also being slightly terrified of him. by some miracle the project does get finished but not without the typical dose of chaos and fires
an episode dedicated to bradley, mort, chad, and amanda and what they do all day when they're not actually part of the main plot
and more bradley mort chad and amanda in general I just love of all of them
more saneal!! I need them and milo to go to a dr. zone comic con together and dress up and be the gigantic loveable dorks that they are together
doofenshmirtz still needs to continue his professor time arc so he's still gotta be there ofc but give him less screen time than s2 pleaseeee. it's milo murphy's law and at the end of the day the focus should always be coming back to milo, zack, and melissa as well as dakota and cavendish
MORE JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
dakavendish finally gets that trip to hawaii
the murphys go on vacation for spring break and yet again total chaos ensues
more school field trips to the museum
for the sake of middle school shenanigans and continuity another sports-academics thing. I'm coining the term cherography (chess-marathon running-geography) but literally anything would be fine by me
the kids go to a public middle school so the inevitable standardized testing episode must be done
I'd love to see a school talent show or a school play episode (run by amanda and assisted by milo of course)
episode/s where melissa is just trying to go about her day with milo and zack when she suddenly disappears after getting caught up in the newest Time Travel Related plot of the week. zack and milo are confused until suddenly she and savannah reappear out of nowhere to deliver an out of context warning ("DONT GO NEAR THE DUMPSTER" or "GO BUY COTTON CANDY NOT ICE CREAM") before disappearing again to fix things
just more melissa and BOTT shenanigans in general honestly i love to see it
an episode focusing on the mml gals!! it could be brigette and sara it could be amanda and melissa and lydia it could be all of them it could be other characters but just an episode like that!
there's a mandatory science fair thing and milo and zack are partners so they decide to go with the most convenient option possible which happens to be a potato-powered lightbulb. somehow they literally flood the school gym with their potato-powered lightbulbs but as it turns out half the class didn't bother to or forgot to do their projects so they just take the lightbulbs and use those as their projects. by the end mrs. murasaki gives everyone a 'C' for functioning but unoriginal projects apart from melissa and bradley as well as amanda and joni
yeah that's all from me but first and foremost I wish mml would get renewed!!!!! for s3!!! usvfkajnfkajmfmalmdlanfms

I've got Milo's World on the brain. I know I'm not alone in saying its such a good episode of Milo. It brilliantly highlights our main cast and how they perceive Milo and handle Murphy's Law. If there is any episode that I'd say gets across who the character's are its that one.
Neal is someone who doesn't know Milo very well yet, but wants to learn more. Milo's the little brother of the girl he likes, and him and his condition are important to Sara (and informs who she is). Neal's a nice guy, if a little unaccustomed to it like everyone else is (not unlike Zack in the first few episodes), whose finding out about Murphy's Law as someone who wants to get used to it being in his life. He's going into this knowing full well it's possible to deal with, has seen what it's capable of, but whose first experience with it was largely positive.
So it's fitting that as the second newest to all this Zack shares his perspective. All things considered Zack answers the question directly just with a little embellishment. How does Milo handle Murphy's Law? He handle's it with the power of his backpack. Zack's assessment of Milo as a Wizard is pretty accurate all things considered. He says he's a Wizard "without all the wizardy stuff" and when describing him, basically just focuses on that he's got a backpack that holds everything. And by all accounts, cartoon logic is fully in play and he holds stuff that shouldn't be held in there. It is literally a bag of holding. He's not wrong. He also uses Wizardy in the sense of someone who takes a wide variety of mundane supplies to work wonders. Melissa, asserts that a Wizard without the wizard stuff, isn't really a wizard it literally is just Milo, which I think demonstrates how literal and close to reality Zack's interpretation is. Zack's just describing Milo but he's using particularly flowery language (which matches his character mind you). Sara also backs him up later on the wizardy thing, without even known about what Zack had said. While first she just shares her assessment that Milo is just a person, he's just got a condition, and a particular personality type. She finishes it up with the potential of him being magic. It's clear she's not saying that to be taken seriously. But she does acknowledge him as impressive. But Milo describes her with that same language, for doing the same kind of thing that he's doing. And she accepts the descriptor and returns it. Showing that the use of that sort of supernatural descriptions applied to him, at least coming from his family and friends, is not very othering, but rather a form of praise. He's impressive, because he does that as he is. Not because he has any sort of power.
Melissa's assessment of Milo being a robot, while untrue, does demonstrate an understanding, if exaggerated, about how Milo lives. He's familiar with things due to experience, and is able to come up with solutions due to experience (the very first episode highlights how Milo's experiences inform his solutions, when he has the route memorized because it has happened before. I also think the Llama incident). He is a bit more physically capable than the average person, due to all the near death experiences, and due to those experiences is quick to notice problems and act, which could make him seem more like a robot. But even if she thought Milo might be a robot, she doesn't seem to have every dehumanized him for that (which tracks considering she and all the kids see CIDD as a person). It's another piece of Melissa's story, from cautiously curious about Milo, to thinking he's the coolest, to wanting to help him deal with Murphy's Law, to understanding its a part of who he is… and maybe taking advantage of it as it. But despite her understanding being relatively close to reality to begin with all things considered, by the present, she immediately agrees with Bradley that thinking he was a robot was ridiculous, (and in the next episode vehemently emphasizes that he isn't a robot to Doof). She may have started with a viewpoint of seeing him as something other, but cool and worthy of friendship, but has grown to recognize him as her best friend, a kid just like her whose just as worthy as teasing too. Even her wildest ideas of who Milo is aren't far off, and she knows that understanding is wrong. She contentiously emphasizes how ridiculous everyone's stories are and tries to shut them down. Not that far off from Sara, whose brief description of Milo focused on him being like everyone else. Highlighting how well Melissa knows Milo, and understanding that rivals his family.
Bradley is the perfect character to counter Neal's genuine desire to understand Milo with a misleading story about who Milo is, describing him as a villain. I reiterates the perspective Bradley has on Milo and his role as Milo's psuedo-foil. Bradley believes that Milo's an attention hog who takes all the attention away from him. He describes Milo with the worst possible language. Villain instead of show off or attention hog. And it's not that he's wrong… technically in the sense that all Milo does is clean up the messes he caused (even if it's more complicated than that), and doesn't get punished and even gets praised for it some times. That said, I do want to be clear that it still kind sucks to be Milo to have to clean up the messes that he doesn't directly cause. And people are rude to him about it. It's just Bradley who mostly sees him at school surrounded by generally accommodating classmates and staff (and also refuses to acknowledge truth's unless it fits his viewpoint) doesn't see that. But ultimately he doesn't describe Milo to be doing anything he isn't he just phrases it in a way that makes Milo seem bad. It foils Zack's (and later Sara's) description of Milo as a wizard, not in the sense they believe him to be more than what he is but that they apply positive language to him because they see him in a positive light. It's only fitting that Sara shows up around this time to mildly put Bradley in his place. Sara who knows Murphy's Law as a force, not something tied only to Milo and whose probably spent her life causally shutting down people needlessly rude to her family. Side note: Sara knows Bradley and his personal Milo beef, but generally speaking, she along with everyone else doesn't care enough about Bradley to really take his beef with Milo seriously just, calling him petty and ignoring his feelings. Which ironically the dismissal of his importance is exactly the beef that he has with Milo being the center of attention. (Even if they're dumb… like Carla… probably says something that he got that attached to something that literally couldn't reciprocate his attention.)
Anyway too much Bradley. Mort's Mort (has his head in the clouds and is big into spirituality), who does generally like Milo. But also doesn't really have a lot to say about how he thinks he lives his life. (Though we do see him dismissing Murphy's Law to blame for things going wrong blaming a blocked chakra instead... self centered but in a positive way?) And Chad's Chad. Dramatic, easily manipulated a fan of conspiracies who does. We see Chad spend a lot of time conspiring about Mr. Drako, more than anyone in class. So it does reason that he thinks about Milo too. But, it does show that rather than actually getting to know Milo, he comes up with conspiracies and explanations not based in truth. It is especially egregious. While Chad doesn't dislike Milo, and generally sees him as a person, he's the only one to straight up get facts about how Milo lives wrong, the only one to deny the existence of Murphy's Law instead of simply taking Milo's word for it. He comes up with a conspiracy about Milo's backpack with exactly NO evidence. Something that Zack and Melissa never really questioned, and that they (and we the audience) actually do know the real story behind. Chad is like Bradley in focusing on what information fits what he wants to be true, rather than actually getting to know Milo. (Also bigfoot continues to be of dubious canonicity, never actually appears despite things like Klimpaloon and Santa existing, has an episode dedicated to him. Apparently has a cousin who lives in the tri-state area (but that's dubious for a couple reasons).
Sara doesn't really have a story about Milo. She commentates on Bradley's, dismissing him and providing some insight into Milo's genuine perspective (the idea of cleaning down). Clarifies that Milo is just an ordinary kid (like how Melissa's been shutting down all the unusual stories), and backs up Zack's description of him as a Wizard. She also demonstrates an understanding of Murphy's Law by helping him out with it herself, even if he was supposed to be helping her. To her, Milo isn't "Milo the great" or "Milo the villain" or "Milo who sees dead people", but Milo her "little bro". They're siblings who are alike where it counts. They're both wizardy. Murphy's Law, while manifesting differently in their lives, colors both of them and isn't what makes him unique, so much as how he handles it. Milo is a whole person, and at no point in her life would she have mentally broken him down into such a box, no matter how fancy the box.
It's also interesting how NONE of the stories account for the fact Murphy's Law is a genetic condition, passed from father to son, despite all of them having met Martin (except Neal). None of them account for the fact that Milo isn't alone in this. Chad doesn't bring up how Martin might also see dead people. Bradley doesn't take any time to villainize Martin, or view Martin as an example of someone who has Murphy's Law but isn't a villain. Because he doesn't deal with him. Milo's life beyond what they see, beyond what effects them, might as well not exist to them. Melissa's robot thing wouldn't make any sense but she admitted as such. And Sara just brushed of the question, and Zack was just being dramatic in answering Neal's question by likening how Milo handle's Murphy's Law to an RPG but wasn't literal.
Milo showing up in the end. Just doing his thing same as always, not as a Wizard, or Robot, or a schemer, or a exorcist. Just being himself, and impressive for who is is, not what the coolest explanation is.
Also the last viewpoint shows the most important thing that Milo is. Diogee's treat dispenser/go home orderer.

I have this headcanon that after Amanda meets Basil Bravo she stops baking her daily cupcake for him, but literally the next day she realises that she misses the routine and now has too much free time in the morning, so instead she bakes cupcakes for Milo now. 
But with Murphy’s Law there’s only so many times he can even eat the cupcake, so instead she makes cupcakes for ALL her friends. One day she’ll give Melissa a spunky strawberry one, the next day she’ll give Zack a sweet chocolate one. Mort and Chad split Chad’s cupcake even though she told them she’d make the Mort a cupcake the next day. She’s PRETTY sure Bradley teared up a bit when she brought him a cupcake with swirly pink icing covered in sprinkles. She even made one for Sara! She’s trying to find a way to fit a Doctor Zone reference onto it. And then the next week she starts with Milo again.

A Cyclone of Calamity: "Milo Murphy's Law" is An Exciting Sci-Fi Comedy
Tumblr media
Zack, Milo, and Melissa
What if someone creates a cyclone of calamity wherever they go? Milo Murphy's Law answers that question, with Milo always prepared for the unexpected and turning any disaster into an adventure!
Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the twenty-sixth article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on January 12, 2022.
Milo Murphy's Law is an animated comedic action-adventure animated series by Jeff "Swampy" Marsh and Dan Povenmire. Both also created the acclaimed musical comedy series, Phineas and Ferb, which ran for four seasons. Milo Murphy's Law is much more than a simple television series where anything that can go wrong will go wrong, i.e. murphy's law. It is Milo's world in more ways than one.
As a warning, this recommendation discusses some spoilers for Milo Murphy's Law.
Tumblr media
Milo Murphy's Law centers around three characters: Milo Murphy (voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic), Melissa Chase (voiced by Sabrina Carpenter), and Zack Underwood (voiced by Mekai Curtis). It follows adventures of Milo and his best friends as misfortune follows him wherever they go. But, he remains upbeat, carrying a backpack which always has what he needs for any eventuality. We later meet his mom Brigette (voiced by Pamela Adlon), an architect, and his dad, Martin, who is a safety inspector.
The story is from Milo's perspective as he faces obstacles. This includes an arrogant student named Bradley (voiced by Vincent Martella) and a self-described safety czar named Elliot (voiced by Christian Slater). He gives himself the mission to stop Milo no matter what, although often he is far from successful.
The series begins as a comedy almost from the get-go with physical slapstick humor. Zack, a new kid who once was part of a boy band known as the Lumberzacks, soon becomes Milo's best friend. He joins Melissa, a long-time friend of Milo, whose father, Richard, works as a firefighter. He later learns just roll with it and be for Milo when he needs help.
This differentiates it from Phineas and Ferb, which set in the same town. In that show, Phineas and Ferb engage in a grand new project every day of the summer. Milo, on the other hand, causes calamities everywhere he goes, using a backpack his babysitter, Veronica, gave him.
Milo's dog, Diogee (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) plays an important part in his adventures. Although Milo tells him to go home, a running gag throughout the show, he helps Milo when he or his friends are in a tight spot.
A funny plotline is continual speculation whether or not a teacher with a Romanian accent, Kyle Drako (voiced by Michael Culross) is a vampire. One of Milo's classmates, Chad Van Coff (voiced by Django Marsh) is completely convinced that Drako is a vampire, but it is never said whether Chad is right. It is up the audience to decide it for themselves. There are also funny jokes about plot holes and flashbacks throughout the show.
The show divides itself between Milo's time at Middleton Middle School, the town of Danville (above ground and underground), and the wider world. This includes adventures through time itself! This isn't immediately evident from the beginning of season 1. It becomes more of a plot point when four agents from the Bureau of Time (Vinnie Dakota, Balthazar Cavendish, Savannah, and Brick) become recurring characters in the series.
The first two, voiced by Dan and Marsh, are time travelers tasked with stopping the pistachio from becoming extinct. The latter two, voiced by Ming-Na Wen and Brett Dalton, are secret agents also from the future who travel in a time-traveling limousine. Mark Hamill plays the annoyed superior of Dakota and Cavendish, Mr. Block. Time travel plays an important part in this series, often as a subplot, so much that both agents are later banned from time travel altogether.
Other agents consider the two bumbling agents, Dakota and Cavendish, a joke. They prove themselves when they end up saving the world from mutant pistachios, known as Pistachions, with Milo's help. Of course, they don't get credit for this, as their boss doesn't remember this due to the altering of the timeline and still talks down to them.
As a person who likes time travel in fiction, and a long-time fan of Futurama, this pulled me further into the series. Dakota and Cavendish are both from "the 70s". Dakota dresses in a 1970s track suit while Cavendish dresses like a person from the 1870s. Some fans have even shipped both characters together based on their interactions during the show, as they act as best buds in the show itself.
Unfortunately, the series doesn't include any outward LGBTQ characters. Even so, Swampy said that "some characters" in Milo Murphy's Law and Phineas and Ferb are part of the LGBTQ community but he did not specify which characters. This inspired some to make fan art. Additionally, there are over 380 fics on Archive of Our Own which ship Cavendish and Dakota together as "Dakavendish."
Fans of Doctor Who would love this series. There is a whole sub-story focused around a sci-fi franchise known as Dr. Zone, based on Doctor Who. Milo and his sister Sara (voiced by Kate Micucci) are big fans. The creator of the franchise, Orton Mahlson (voiced by Jemaine Clement) is even inspired by Dakota and Cavendish. His sidekick, in the episodes is a Time Ape voiced by Sophie Winkleman.
Milo Murphy's Law has some diversity in its cast. This includes Zack, Nolan Mitchell, and Marcus Underwood, characters voiced by Black men. A Black woman also voices Eileen Underwood.
A Cuban-American actress named Chrissie Fit voices Amanda Lopez. She was originally planned to be a white character, but was changed at Disney's urging. The executives told Dan and Swampy to make the show more diverse. The show also includes actors of Malaysian, Chinese, and Jamaican descent, specifically Wen and Olivia Olson.
Amanda is perfectionist like Pearl in Steven Universe. She unexpectedly falls in love with Milo, who also likes her back. While they are never directly shown as in a romantic relationship, there are romantic feelings between the two of them. This is curious since Amanda likes order and Milo causes chaos everywhere he goes. They especially show how they feel about one another in the second season, with Amanda even getting jealous when other girls are nice to him, and giving him a kiss on the cheek in another episode.
The same is the case for Milo's dad, Martin (voiced by Diedrich Bader). He is a safety inspector but is affected by murphy's law as much as his son. It's as much an oxymoron as Homer Simpson being the safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in The Simpsons. In the latter case, the building becomes unsafe the second he leaves the building.
Tumblr media
Milo responds to Amanda's request to dance
Milo and Amanda are the not the only ones to express romantic feelings toward each other. There is a slow-burn romance between Melissa and Zack, and Sara has a crush on Neal, who works at a comic shop. Maulik Pancholy, an actor of Indian descent, voices the latter character.
Pancholy also voices a recurring character in Phineas and Ferb, Baljeet. Both shows merge together at the beginning of season 2 after a crossover episode, where characters from each show work to defeat the Pistachions. Prof. Doofenshmirtz, Perry the Platypus (i.e. "Agent P"), Major Monogram, and Carl appear as recurring characters in Milo Murphy's Law. As a result of the crossover, Doof crashes at Milo's house until he gets kicked out for being a nuisance.
Even Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, voiced by Olivia Olson, reappears in one episode. Voicing Vanessa was Olson's first major animated role before she voiced Marceline the Vampire Queen in Adventure Time. In fact, this role was one of the reasons that Pendleton Ward, the Adventure Time creator, brought her in to voice Marceline in the first place! If there had been no Vanessa, there wouldn't have been no Marceline, at least not as we know her today.
Events in Milo Murphy's Law and Phineas and Ferb also connect them together. For instance, Melissa is afraid of rollercoasters because of scheme by Phineas and Ferb. There are many other background details and events similar to both series.
By the show's second season, Swampy and Dan voice at least seven characters together. Other characters are voiced by talented actors like Greg Cipes, Alyson Stoner, Mackenzie Phillips, Sarah Chalke, and Larine Newman.
In the last half Milo Murphy's Law's second season new villains appear: a group of aliens known as Octalians. Milo's negative probability ions interest them and they try to capture him, hoping to save their planet from destruction. Joanna Hausmann, Odessa Adlon (Pamela Adlon's daughter), Brock Powell, John Ross Bowie, Cedric Yarbrough, and many others, voice these aliens.
Like many Disney shows aimed at children, music fills the episodes of Milo Murphy's Law. There are over 60 songs in seasons 1 and 2, along with 25 songlets. This pales in comparison to Phineas and Ferb, which almost has a musical number in every single episode. Even so, its catchy opening theme gets you in the mood to watch every episode.
The music accompanies the wonderful animation and background art of the series. It's not as detailed as a series like Arcane, but it is strong enough to move the story forward. It keeps you inside of Milo's world for each 22 minute episode, usually divided into two segments. The show also doesn't try to take itself too seriously, poking at the construction of animated shows throughout its run.
Some episodes criticize Silicon Valley tycoons and brainless consumers. Others have futuristic devices and robots. There are more fundamental themes in the series, such as the importance of family, self-acceptance, and identity. Some focus on the weight of adult responsibilities, which Prof. Doofenshmirtz called "adulting," while others focus on themes such as historic preservation, environmental protection, and automation.
While the last episode of Milo Murphy's Law aired on May 18, 2019, strong viewings of the show raise the possibility of the third season. There is a strong audience demand for the series and Dan has said that the show's success might "justify a couple of specials."
In the end, if you want to watch a show that will make you laugh with its absurdity and wacky storylines, then give Milo Murphy's Law a watch on Disney+. While you are at it, you can watch Swampy and Dan's first series, Phineas and Ferb, on the same streaming platform.
