tumblrforgreta This show has truly broken all stereotypes! Asian girl was stupid, blonde girl was smart, black guy had a formal job, white guy was a goofy plumber, fat kid gets the girls. Furthermore, the story-line of the show was simply magnificent. I highly recommend to watch this if you want to have a good laugh. Also, this is a comedy about identical twins, so you'll have a good time trying to figure out who's who. Another thing - one of the two creators of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is Jim Geoghan, who was nominated for 2 Primetime Emmys and is also the creator of "Family Matters", a popular show as well. And, of course, this is a Disney show, which makes us remember all those fantastic times that we have had while watching Disney movies (Mulan, Lion king, etc.) and Disney shows (Hannah Montana, That's so Raven, etc.). But, nonetheless, this show is just really awesome. Go watch it, like, NOW!
junkmailstuff456 I don't know why this show got so many bad reviews. It's very funny, the characters are hilarious, and the plots are also hilarious. The sets look so real on this show too! Suite Life of Zack and Cody is also very educational in my opinion. I love how Maddie and London go to a Catholic School. Disney usually tries to keep away from anything that has to do with Religion. This show talks about Religion every once in a while, which I think is a good thing. You shouldn't shelter kids from the real world. Most of the shows on Disney Channel are boring, and have the same plots but just change the location and characters. This show stands out a lot to me. One thing that I love is that adults will find the show funny too. They have a lot of adult humor that kids also will find funny. Overall, it's a fantastic show. It's a little stupid, but it's very funny. This show NEVER gets old. You can watch an episode a million times, and it will still be funny!
techkid1990 Once upon a time, the Disney Channel used to air programs that were actually watchable and even some of the best shows of any kids network. Shows Like "Even Stevens" and "That's So Raven" were big hits and made anyone's day. Boys and girls both watched these shows because they related to a lot of people, even adults. Then one day, that era came to a sudden end when a show about two annoying brothers, played by the most untalented twins since Marie Kate and Ashley, who live in a hotel. since then, the Disney Channel has become a black hole that sucks out any good show and only leaves the bad ones to air. I seriously do not see what people see in this show. I go to the message board and most of the posters are people in their late teens and early twenties (or so they claim) and they talk all day about how they like this show. Anyone who criticizes the show and a whole crap storm erupts. Not that I care what a bunch of overly sensitive fan babies say, but it goes to show what type of people are into this garbage. The show revolves around two boys, Zack and Cody, who live with their divorced mother in a hotel (yes this is the premise of the show), owned by some character not seen on screen whose daughter, London is a super spoiled senseless, moronic piece of human skin. I truly believe this character was just created to annoy the hell out of people. Also on the cast is a counter girl, Maddie (played by the not so talented red head turned blonde Ashley Tisdale) whom one of the boys has a crush on (you know, a kids show!). There is also Esteban, a insultingly stereotypical Mexican immigrant who works as the hotel's delivery boy. Then their is Moseby, a British black guy who is annoyed by everyone in the show, especially the boys (Can't blame him). Each episode involves the boys and the girls getting involved in some scheme that goes horribly wrong and they have to fix it which they usually don't and get into trouble anyway (Gee, that sounds like Kenan and Kel, except that show was... Good). The low point of this show is Zach and Cody's one dimensional characters and the flat performance the actors put into those characters. Anything remotely funny is crush by their dry dialog and wooden acting. Then there is London, whom represents all that is now vile of the Disney Channel. How people are not lining up to strangle this girl is a mystery. The rest of the cast are more tolerable but no less entertaining. In fact the only characters worth any redeemable quality is Moseby, because to me he seems to be the one who is aware of the insanity that is "The suite Life of Zack and Cody." And Maddie seems to have everything good in her life sucked out by the demonic entities that are Zack, Cody, and London. The show teaches no real morals and is really not relating to the viewers. In fact, this show is devoid of any human sensitivity. One episode I recall is the Christmas special where the twins think this will be the year their parents reunite but the lovely Mother says no, sucking the holiday spirit from the show like a black hole. From that day on, I avoided this show like the plague. Fortunately this show ended after three seasons, but only to continue in a spin off, where everything in that show is the same except it takes place on a boat. No, I'm not joking about that, I wish I was.
jmanchak6 Well maybe it wasn't awesome, but season 1 was pretty good. It was a nice way to wake up on a Saturday morning. The jokes were innocent and funny. Sure, it had a few of those slow, sad scenes that you usually find in any family sitcom (take "Two of a Kind", "8 Simple Rules" etc.) but those times were actually pretty sweet. One thing that I liked about "Seinfeld" is that there were no sad scenes. But I forgive "Suite Life", it was funny the other 95% of the time.Then, the long-awaited season 2 came out. The kids' hair was longer, and their voices got deeper. They had hit puberty. Uh-oh. All of a sudden, the kids became obsessed with the opposite sex. Most of the episodes in season 2 have something to do with their attempts to get a girl. The other episodes in season 2 had plain out bad writing.My least favourite episode was called "Birdman of Boston". This has to be the worst episode in this series. Cody adopts a bird, and when he realizes that it has to go and be free, he starts crying. Now, this scene could've been a real tear jerker, if it had been directed by someone who worked on "Scrubs". But because it wasn't a good dramedy director that was running the show, also that Cole Sprouse can't act that well (sorry Cole), it just wasn't a great episode.The third season wasn't bad, the writers were obviously not giving their 100% effort, but it was still okay. I haven't seen much of it, because season 2 didn't get me very excited for the next season. It was a good thing that Disney canned the show, giving them a chance to hire fresher writers for more horrible Disney sitcoms to come.The character development just got out of hand after season 1. Cody (Cole Sprouse) just got so annoying with his smart-ass comments. He was a funny nerd in season 1, he just got annoying after that. "The Big Bang Theory" has shown how to make nerds funny. Disney should take this as a lesson. London Tipton (Brenda Song) was funny as the stupid girl in season 1. One of the great, original turns that this show made was having the Asian girl be the dumb girl, and the blonde being the smart one. After season 1, the jokes got old and London became WAY too stupid. In season 1, those two were my favourite characters, in seasons 2-3, they were the most annoying.I plan to have my next review be on the spin off show. It ain't artwork, but its still not terrible.If this show ended after season 1, and left us wanting more, or better yet, kept the tone of the first season throughout the series, I think I would've liked it more.6/10: not terrible, not great, just okay.
