For the show's 5th anniversary yesterday, there's a You Tuber who's a fan of the show, but he dished out the main points on why the show failed to find an audience. Here are the timestamps below.
2:06 The Disney XD Effect
6:20 What Did Fans Think Of?
8:52 Milo Murphy's Law Has No Stakes
13:15 Milo Is A Passive Protagonist
16:38 Milo Murphy's Law Has Static Characters
21:07 The Art Style Is Bland
23:50 The Humor Is Bland
26:16 The Music Is Bland (he admits it's more a taste thing) (also check out 30:33)
32:45 The Phineas And Ferb Effect (The Influence Of Phineas And Ferb On The Show, Not The Actual Crossover)
40:00 The Phineas And Ferb Effect Again
45:26 Closing Thoughts
The 2nd Dimension created another video about all the Phineas And Ferb references in Milo Murphy's Law.
Season 1: 47
Season 2: 41(crossover) + 69 (first half of season 2) + 37 (second half of season 2) (147 overall)
So that's 194 references for the whole show, with season 2 having more than thrice as many references as season 1.
Now that I have Disney + I finally get to watch this again. Bugger about probs not getting a Season 3 though. I really enjoyed this series.
Everybody's all "Jerry's old and feeble" till they see him run down a skyscraper and hijack a helicopter mid-flight.
