Let me start off by saying this is my FAVORITE Disney show! This show is about two twins who move in to the Tipton hotel because their mom got a job there as a lounge singer. The show revolves around all their adventures in the hotel. Almost all the episodes have a good moral to them. Some episodes even bought a tear to my eye, like Christmas at the hotel and A prom story. The actors are pretty good too! Mr. Moesby and Estaban are probably the funniest, not that the others aren't funny either. The only thing I dislike about the show( like mostly all the shows) the show isn't as good towards the last season, but still laughable. I recommend it to anyone who wants a family friendly show.

Zack and Cody Martin (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) are twins who live in a suite on the 23rd floor of the swanky Tipton Hotel in Boston, where their divorced mom Carey (Kim Rhodes) works as the lounge singer.The first season, is by far the best of the series. I'm not saying it's great by any means, just the most watchable. Most of the stories revolve around the twins using the hotel as their personal playground, much to the annoyance of the hotel's manager, Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis). This leads to a lot of really broad, physical comedy, the sheer volume of which overcomes some of this show's very serious shortcomings (such as the rather poor acting of the Sprouse twins. Let's face it: they're just don't have any real acting talent).Aside from the lead actors, the rest of the cast, including Ashley Tisdale and Brenda Song (as spoiled heiress London Tipton) are game. Token adults Lewis and Rhodes are fine, although Rhodes is generally relegated to straight man duty for now (she would become a much wackier character by the third season, but by then, the show is not really worth watching).

This most certainly is NOT the worst thing I've seen from Disney. I mean Hannah Montana, Filmore, Lizzie McGuire and such were all WAY worse. But that doesn't make this show funny.The first few episodes were awful, and I mean AWFUL. But let's give it credit, what show actually starts out good? (Invader Zim, Clannad) But the acting was still awful, the dialogue was pitiful and made no sense, and the plots were not interesting. The episode with the celebrities getting married in the hotel was by far the worst episode in the series, and I'm pretty sure that was the second episode.Over time, show show got a lot less annoying, but still wasn't good. The stories were always unoriginal and were always modernizing classic stories such as Romeo and Juliet, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Princess and the Pea, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and more. Uh, can you make your own stories, please? I must give the show credit, it's one of the few Disney shows that isn't painful to watch. It has a certain appeal, and I can watch it when it's on. When there's nothing else on, sure, I'll watch this show. I did chuckle a few times throughout the series.However, the laugh tracks, still make me cringe. I've heard the same annoying kids laugh the same annoying laughs in a dozen different shows. If you can't get a real audience, don't make a sitcom! You can make like Zoey 101 and make painful jokes without painful laugh tracks.Well, this show may be overshadowed by a MUCH better spin-off, but it's not the worst show ever.

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.
