Episodes
The show currently comprises two seasons with 20 episodes each. When asked about the odds of a third season in May 2020, Povenmire stated they are still at a low and the odds all hinge on the uptick in views on Disney+ which had yet to happen. ==Crossovers==
Crossovers
The second-season premiere episode was a crossover with the series creators' previous show, Phineas and Ferb. The entire Phineas and Ferb cast reprised their roles for the special, with the exception of Thomas Sangster, the original voice of Ferb, due to scheduling conflicts. Ferb was instead voiced by David Errigo Jr. Following the crossover, the Phineas and Ferb characters Doofenshmirtz, Perry the Platypus, Major Monogram and Carl joined the cast of ''Milo Murphy's Law'' in a recurring capacity, following the destruction of Doofenshmirtz's penthouse building. ''Milo Murphy's Law character Trucker Ted appeared in the Disney+ film Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe'', with Bob Bowen reprising his role. "Weird Al" Yankovic was also slated to return as Milo Murphy in the film, but his scenes were cut from the final release. ==Reception==
Reception
Common Sense Media rated the show 4 out of 5 stars, stating: "Parents need to know that ''Milo Murphy's Law is a hilarious animated series from the creators of Phineas and Ferb''. It suggests that the fabled Murphy's Law (whatever can go wrong will go wrong) is a real condition that afflicts its titular character and puts him through all sorts of unpredictable trials. As a result, there are lots of scary and potentially painful accidents (falling off a cliff, being chased by wolves, getting caught in a subway turnstile), but Milo always approaches them with a can-do attitude that positively influences his friends as well. As for his friends, they prove their worth by sticking with him regardless of what that exposes them to, so there are lots of good messages there". Common Sense Media rated the crossover episode, titled "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", 4 out of 5 stars, stating, "Expect a lot of action involving oversized plantlike monsters who don human identities and turn some people into plants themselves, but no real violence. If this is your kids' introduction to any of these characters, know that this fun mix of personalities will encourage them to seek out more of their separate escapades". Parrot Analytics reported in May 2021 that "the audience demand for ''Milo Murphy's Law'' is 4 times the demand of the average TV series...", and it was also ranked as No. 77 of the top 100 series on Disney+. On February 23, Marsh stated that although Disney had apologized to him and Povenmire for promoting the show poorly in the past, "... the show is doing well on Disney+, and that maybe its success will possibly justify a couple of specials".
