And for me that is saying a lot, seeing as I do not like Hannah Montana or Cory in the House. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody is far from perfect, but I actually like it. I do agree London can be obnoxious(though Brenda Song does perform her well), the laughter track is distracting and there are some predictable moments on the show.

However, I loved the concept and it works well. Apart from London, though she has her moments, both Zack and Cody are very cute and endearing and Maddie is surprisingly likable as well. I also think the writing is funny, and the story lines while on the predictable side are at least interesting. And the acting is not too bad, maybe so to start with but it improved I think. Dylan and Cole Sprouse are great and very natural in the leads, while Ashley Tisdale interacts well with them too and Phil Lewis consistently makes me laugh. The episodes do move briskly and I have never been bored.

Overall, it is a good show, flawed it is but it is funny and I think the leads are likable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

The suite life of Zach and Cody is a pretty funny and nice show, its hilarious at times and sometimes very dull. The first season was good but the second season and later on are great. The acting in the first season is very shaky and Zach and Cody act bad but then they eventually get better. Some characters like London and Carey are very annoying. Most of the "jokes" the characters say aren't funny, they just seem kinda random and weird. Another thing that sort of bugs me is in a lot of episodes, Zach and Cody always try to get girls and go on dates. I know there around 16 in real life but in the show (season 1 and 2) they look really young and its creepy seeing them always trying to hit on girls. Other than that the show is good, the newer episodes are the best.

Pros of this show: 1) Brenda Song as London Tipton. She portraits the role wonderfully. she can play dumb easily and also show that she is a rich and spoilt brat.

2) Ashley Tisdale because she does not need to play foolish to be funny. her witty quotes make me laugh a lot.

3) Mr.Moseby because he really makes me laugh by his one liners on Zack and Cody. his expressions are incomparable.

4) Esteban because he plays a funny man showing his extraordinary acting abilities.

5) Muriel because she makes me fall off my seat even in her minute roles.

6) Arwin as he plays a clumsy but clever man who keeps doing odd experiments and makes us laugh.

7) the plots of the first season are imaginative and do not have the same, boring topics about love for family and friends.

8) Mrs.Ilshashicle- something for playing an evil, rough and tough character who keeps bossing upon everyone and has the look that can scare of small toddlers.

9) Carey Martin for being a good and funny mother.

Cons: 1) Many of the quotes sound repetitive. some of the quotes are said many times and so they get a bit dull and lose its fun.

2) The plot of the episodes of the second season are stupid, repetitive and boring. Many of them are the same. Zack keeps competing with Cody or has a quarrel with him or London and Maddy keep arguing about London being dumb. even Maddy's and London's experiences at their school is almost the same and thus become stupid.

3) The second season is boring with the same lame jokes, stupid plots and cold ends. There is nothing fresh in them.

4) Zack and Cody's acting is mediocre. They have to do something to improve it.

5) Carey Martin's role gets carried away in some of the episodes. She gets greedy, sometimes childish.

6) The episode in which Zack and Cody meet Raven and Hannah Montana is the stupidest thing i have seen. The episode was so boring that i wanted to throw up! Overall, it is a good show that warms the heart and makes us feel to watch it. So I am giving it 7 out of ten.

I am a fully grown man, and I am laughing my behind off watching this show.

I did not grow up in the US, and only saw a few episodes growing up. But I remember liking the episodes I did get a chance to watch. But now that I have a chance to watch them all, I started watching it. And surprisingly, it held up pretty darn well! The show might have been made for kids, but the plots are not bad, and decently put together. So far it has not started to feel forcibly funny, which is more than what can be said for many adult comedy shows. It may not have much re-watch value, but you can at least rent it, or buy it if have kids or plan on having kids. Gather some friends and have a fun afternoon reliving the childhood! Easily recommended.

The first time I saw this show, it seemed like another new 21st century Disney show, like "That's So Raven," which is just horrible because of the plot that isn't thought out well enough, and the cheap laughs and exaggerations. I gave the show some time, and IN time, I began to like the show. If I were to rate the show out of ten, I'd give it an eight because there are some cheap exaggerations and laughs. But, after all, a lot of great shows are like that.

Older Disney shows like Boy Meets World were very good, without the cheap laughs and exaggerations, and I'd like to see more of those. But, for now, Zack & Cody is the best Disney Channel show right now.

This show is awesome. I normally watch nickelodeon(even as bad as its getting), but i change the channel to watch this show. One day i was bored and switching through the channels. i seen a cute girl (Ashly Tisdale) and that it had twins witch caught my attention since there's not a whole lot of shows that have twins.(I'm a twin also). I seen that it was awesome. And now its a show i watch on a consistent basis.

this show is funny witch would interest any1 that likes comedy. Ashly Tisdale is really cute witch would interest guys. This show is different cause it takes place in a hotel.

they chose some young actors and actresses that i think have a good future.

A high-energy, comedic look at twin brothers living in a swanky hotel. Hijinks, pranks, and sibling chaos guaranteed.

A classic Disney Channel sitcom that balances light-hearted humor with family-friendly antics, thanks to its charming cast and zany hotel setting.

🎯 Final Thoughts The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is a charming, fast-paced comedy that captures the fun of childhood mischief and sibling bonds in a unique hotel setting. It's a must-watch for Disney Channel nostalgia and lighthearted family fun.

⭐ 7.0/10. Mischief, laughs, and hotel chaos at its finest.

Zack (Dylan Sprouse) as well as his real life brother Cody (Cole Sprouse) now reside in the prestigious Tipton Hotel, which is held together by Mr. Marion Moseby (Phil Lewis). Each episode sees them run rampant throughout the hotel frustrating patrons all the while attending Middle School; while Cody is shrewd academically, Zack is anything but, and at one point even fakes having dyslexia in a really brilliant episode that is no longer accessible on Disney+.

The show's narrative is uncomplicated; there really is no sophisticated premise, however there are some humorous moments, notably when London Tipton (Brenda Song) and Mr Moseby get involved. One of my favourite quotations is when Mr Moseby is giving London driving lessons.

London: You mean... the prindle?

Mr. Moseby: The what?

London: The PRINDLE!

Mr. Moseby: Are you referring to the shift lever that says P-R-N-D-L?

London: I'm not a child, Moseby, I know how to spell prindle.

Mr. Moseby: It is not something you spell. It is a gear shift. The letters stand for: PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE and LOW!

London: You're making me nervous with all this... technical talk!

Mr. Moseby: Oh! I'm sorry. Why don't we just *relax* and turn on the *radio*? Would you like AHM OR FIM?

The episodes fluctuate from fantastic to leaving me questioning why I began watching this show in the first place.

I was Eighteen when I first saw the programme, early last year, because despite being a child of the 2000s I didn't watch anything on the Disney channel that wasn't Phineas and Ferb

Is suite life a show that I might recommend to you?

Only if you prefer pleasant comedy that periodically, but seldom, turns serious.

At first i was like whoa this is an awesome show but now it's like who are these people. it's not that funny like it was in 2005-2006. Plus i have seen the Sprouse twins in much better things and voice characters like Grace Under Fire and big Daddy which Cole basically rocked it. Anyway this show is not what i expected from such highly qualified actors and actresses. The only thing that kept me from discontinuing to watch this show was when Nia came. When Giovannie Samuels joined the cast it brang back all the laughter and not hiding my face from the humiliation of their bad jokes. They don't add to add jokes in that do not seem original it just takes and sucks up all the comedy. So their luck i even rated them a 7/10.
