Legendary satirist and Grammy Award-winning recording artist Al Yankovic (professionally known as "Weird Al") voices the title role in "Milo Murphy's Law," a new animated adventure comedy series debuting MONDAY, OCTOBER 3 (8:00 p.m. EDT), on Disney XD. From creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh of the Emmy Award-winning animated series "Phineas and Ferb," the series follows 13-year-old Milo Murphy, the fictional great-great-great-great grandson of the Murphy's Law namesake. Milo is the personification of Murphy's Law, where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
 
Emmy Award-nominated Scott Peterson is story editor, and Joshua Pruett, Dani Vetere, Martin Olson and Jim Bernstein, the Emmy Award-nominated writing team from "Phineas and Ferb," serve as staff writers. "Milo Murphy's Law" is a production of Disney Television Animation and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.

Disney Channel Executives reached out to Scott Peterson to pen multiple scripts for a series of live action shorts featuring the stars of their mega-franchise "The Descendants."   Airing on the channel and online, these fast-paced segments feature the young stars walking the "blue carpet" in preparation for the highly anticipated Neon Lights Ball. 

Hey, a bunch of us Phineas and Ferb types got nominated for an Emmy, myself included. We're being recognized for Outstanding Animated Program for our episode "Last Day of Summer." We're up against Archer, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, and South Park.
