** The ''Dr. Zone's Files'' was homage to ''Doctor Who'', created because of writer [[Joshua Pruett]]'s love for the latter series. In [[2022 (releases)|2022]], Joshua Pruett wrote the [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]] audio drama ''[[The Tides of the Moon (audio story)|The Tides of the Moon]]'', after having met and bonded with the producer, [[Jacqueline Rayner]], on Twitter, who coincidentally had a profile picture of {{w|Vanessa Doofenshmirtz}} from {{wi|Phineas and Ferb}}, a previous show that Joshua Pruett worked on. After the story's release, co-creator of ''Phineas and Ferb'' and ''Milo Murphy's Law'', {{w|Dan Povenmire}}, released a YouTube Short wherein he recommended any fans of ''Doctor Who'', ''Phineas and Ferb'', and ''Milo Murphy's Law'' to listen to the audio drama.<ref>[https://youtube.com/shorts/u73NI_91Y_E Josh Wrote A Doctor Who Story!!!]</ref> | |||
