The Suite Life on Deck

Just finished watching the premier episode. The show does have a different feel that the original, but is very funny. I won't give away any spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but so far, the show is off to a very good start. My honest opinion is that the first episode was funnier than most episodes of original and that's saying a lot.

The new characters Woody and Bailey had some very funny moments and fit right in with Zack, Cody, and London. I was afraid Zack, Cody, and London would feel like different characters because Dylan and Cole Sprouse said on Jimmy Kimmel that Disney intended on this being a completely different show. Judging by the first episode, it will be different, but the four returning characters are exactly the same which is great. Returning fans will love this. I know I did!

the first few shows are painful to watch their so bad. But as the writers find their feet and get use to the characters the middle shows are quite good. Some even in the classic category, where episodes do spoofs on classic movies and TV shows, having Gavin Maccleod on one episode was genius. I've always had a crush on Bailey, her face has very classic lines, speaking of classics. I read in a newspaper that TV shows go through four stages, stone age, classic, byzantine, and I think space age or something, and towards the end that's what happened to this show, they started running out of ideas, and they couldn't figure out what to do next.

While my opinion doesn't affect the show, I will say it anyway. As with almost every show geared towards teens, it could have been a lot better.

The thing that infuriates me most is the characters. Surprisingly Zach annoys me less than what I would have thought, in fact I would say he is the best character and he is only getting better (however, Dylan does get ridiculous story lines like in 'Breakup in Paris'). Cody is frustrating, he whines way too much. Still funny, but a bit extravagant if you ask me. London, while albeit funny as well, her air-headedness is taken to the extreme. She wasn't this bad in the first season of the original Zach and Cody. I also can't stand the way she makes fun of Ms. Tutwiler, her teacher. Erin, who plays Emma Tutwiler is a beautiful woman, and in no way is she ugly! How can her students get off with making fun of her? It shouldn't bother me, but it does.

As for Woody, Kirby, and Marcus – they are unnecessary characters. Zach is already a bit ditzy, and London completely daft. When you put in Woody and Kirby, it is just foolish. They add nothing to the show. We could have had great supporting characters like Esteban (not saying bring him in the show but someone like him). And Marcus, he just popped up out of nowhere and there is nothing special about him.

I like Bailey but I am tired of the excessive talk of home life back in Kettlecorn. She is a less than mediocre replacement of Maddie.

The reason for my high rating is because it is an entertaining show, stupid, but something to laugh at.

This is a great add on. I really liked the show before they made on deck. And even though they took out some of the good actors they got new ones which weren't so bad. Cole and Dylan still do a great job on the show and keep there character as if its not supposed to be new. London is still kinda funny but a little more retarded in my opinion. The new actors are alright, there's bailey who's a pretty good addition kind of funny and pretty much the (hot) girl of the show, and then there's Woody who is pretty crazy and like a wild card. I was a little worried at first that they had said the show was going to be completely different. But its the same old Zack and Cody and the other actors that moved on which really made me happy. I also want to point out that I am sure a majority of kids are watching the episodes on the computer and not the T.V. so there are a lot of viewers. The Beginning theme is pretty catchy, like the suite life. Sometimes the jokes can be corny and the laughing background clip is unnecessary. But the show mostly makes me laugh. KEEP THE EPISODES COMING!!

I, like another member that posted, am not in the targeted age group for this type of show, but I loved it! I feel Suite Life both shows were really funny youthful shows. It was nice watching the boys grow-up on screen. Being that I love useless facts and statistics I love knowing where I have seen faces before. Amazingly enough I realized these were the little boy in Big Daddy. Wow on how old you seem when you remember seeing them as very young kids and now they are entering adulthood. I especially liked the closing; it was one that I enjoyed and felt that was relevant to the entire plot of the show. Few shows have had final episodes that were good and explained the future of the characters.(still mad at Seinfeld's ending)I will miss laughing at the characters antics. It was a wonderful show.
