    we need responsible media

    I don't agree with teaching 8 year old that they should be kissing each other. We need to teach our children some moral values. Disney doesn't care about this at all it seems. Just do what's popular regardless of the societal consequences I guess is their motto.

    Boring Central

    Yeah, I thought these kids were 10 in the first season 2 episode. but no, they're 15! Disney never wants them to grow up and this show is a bit irritating. I hope this review helped!

    Another great clean Disney show!

    Just for the record, "Suite Life" is actually rated TV-G on Disney Channel and TV-Y7 on ABC. There is really nothing to worry about on this show at all; most parents would find this show appropriate for little kids.

    harmless, i guess, but not real

    my main issue is with the genre of this type of series (harkens back to silver spoons or different strokes). but the kids seem nice enough, and there does not appear to be a lot of social cruelty, and indeed sometimes some valuable life lessons are learned. just not sure how this reflects the socio-economic reality most kids live. (perhaps that is the point -- it is a TV show, for crying out loud).

    I can't stand this show

    I used to let my 6 year old watch The Suite Life because she seemed to enjoy it so much. Within a few weeks I noticed her behavior changed - she wouldn't listen to me, she was disrespectful, and I always found her doing stuff she knew she shouldn't be doing. I realized her attitude was worse after watching an episode of Zack and Cody. When I sat down to watch an entire show I found that the boys and the adults were very rude and disrespectful to each other. I no longer allow her to watch the show and her demeanor has changed for the better. I do not recommend this program to anyone.

    The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

    Sexual Content (Pause): Some kisses and heavy flirting. Lots of innuendo, especially in the first season. Violence (Not an Issue): Some slapstick and pratfalls with rare - but comedic - injuries. Language (Not an Issue): None. Social Behavior (Pause): Adults and children are rude to one another. Commercialism (Pause): Money and material wealth are celebrated. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (None): None.

    I have to admit this silly show is very funny. It does seem a bit sophisticated on family relationships. The twin actors don't pull any punches on issues of sibling rivalry. It's as far beyond 'Dennis the Menace' as 'Roseanne' was beyond 'Donna Reed'. But it does show a loving, imperfect family and the plots usually revolve around the rowdy twins helping out a friend. One problem I see is the 'streetsmart' twin getting the better of the 'bookworm' twin. True, adult life takes a combination of book smarts and street smarts, but this show seems to favor street smarts. That's not the right message for kids this young. So maybe a better balance, showing the advantages of both street and book smarts, would improve the show. I have to take issue with one comment about Disney's casting all being from 'Utah'. The cast includes an Asian woman, an African-American and a Hispanic. And besides Raven Simone, Disney also features a young African-American lead in 'Corey In The House'.

    i think that this tv show is horrible. Dylan and Cole are horrible actors, HORRIBLE, and they need to cut their hair. It's gotten to the point where it just looks shaggy, misshapen and just plain unattractive.

    Great show, my kids (6, 11, 15) love it! I do talk with my 6-year-old son, though how about cruising girls like this is not acceptable. The boys do get into a lot of mischeif, but really, who lives in a hotel? This show is grat for kids, just make sure you talk to younger ones first before watching!

    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Negative message

    • My highlights are:
    • Educational

    A bad role model for kids

    Although I don't watch the show much anymore I did a while ago, and I didn't like what I saw. One of the two main boys in the show said he likes girls "tall, blonde, and curvy" and says other things like that that are not apropriate for him (a 12 or 13 year old) to say. Things that sound like implying bad words like, a girl saying "oh my" paused and looked up and saw a nun and says "goodness" implying that she was about to say "god" but changed it so the nun won't be mad. I would say there is some educational value from one of the two main brothers who is practically a genius and says things that kids can learn from. But the brother who is smart and nice is made fun of by the other and no one stops it. Overall I would say if your child watches this show (or has watched this show in the past) you should have a talk with them. I may seem to be too strict but my main problem is that this show is made for kids, is starring kids, and is on kids tv stations and has these bad things on it.

    I like it alot, but i still think it has a little bit too much kissing and stuff like that. Overall I like it, but my mom and I have agreed that I should wait until I'm around 10 and a half before I should watch it anymore.

    This how is soo hilarious!!! I watch it all the time, and even if I see the same one twice in one day I laugh at it anyway!! Bue the only bad thing is that girls kiss boys that are practically complete strangers. I would reccomend it to anyone 7 and up, and give it an A+!

    A surprizingly suggestive show, SL is not for kids under 10. With too much teen romance and rude behavior, its not surprizing to blame much of America's youth demeanour problems on such shows.

    This website doesn't know about TV ratings

    This is one of my favorite websites, but it can be pretty brainless sometimes. "The suit life of Zack and Cody" is rated TV-G, not TV-Y7-FV. It doesn't even have any violence in it!!!

    Very good but rated too low.

    It`s my favourite show. It`s very funny. However, I think it should be for ages 11+ due to a LOT of romance, quite a bit of kissing, and very small references to sex. Also, it`s little sexist as it tends to favour girls i.e. girls being luckier, more boys carrying girls than vice-verca, etc. Still, it`s a good show that i reccomend to anyone 11+

    Not Apropriate Themes

    The themes are not exceptable. Disney has also been finding the time to add adult humor into this show and many others. They say innapropriate words and phrases. i give this show one thumb down.

  16. I rate this title iffy for age 8 and give it 4.0

    Good, but not for younger ones!

    Here's what I thought: Sexual Content: Mild Flirting Language: None at all Message: Very commercialized, though there are no brand names mentioned. Violence: Shoving and pushing between the twins is the highest level of violence in this show, although in one episode there is a burgalar stealing London's purse that may scare younger kids. Overall: Good show, but in one episode they do take a crack at a certain fairy. The episode name was "Election". Watch out for that one! The boys's are often misbehaving and though they do get grounded, they aren't the best role models you would want your kids to start copying.

    Good, great, good

    I love this show because I have a twin brother (I am a girl) and it resembles us. We always fight. But then again, we are occasionally nice to each other and hang out with each other. But we are both the same. We are both fairly popular and nice, etc. And that it the same with Zack and Cody. So I believe this show is really great for kids that have a twin! (And other kids that like it! Duh!)

    This is a really funny show!

    This show is really funny. It is pretty harmless to younger children. Some parents have to watch a couple episodes and see if it's appropiate and if there child will react to some of the stuff. This show would be for 8 years and up maybe?

    Lame Show,

    Alittle bit of talk about relationships and girlfriends and some bad behavior but that is about as bad as it gets. This show is NOT the best disney show it is about 2 twins who are always getting in trouble. Sometimes there is a good message at the end but overall this show is dumb because they use old jokes alot.

    Disney's mistake

    Honestly, I think this show started out pretty good, pretty good and funny at times. Then, DUN DUN DUN, the show went from a 4 to a 2 in the 2nd season. Dylan and Cole Sprouse are good actors, but I dont think comedy is their style if you know what i mean. They're 15 years old, but yet they still look 10. I dont think its they're faults, I dont blame them, but disney NEVER wants you to grow up! Well back to the show rating, I give it a 2 out of 5. This is what I think they should improve. First of all, I think they should change some plots and storys around, they need to make it more realistic is what im saying. Like that episode where they had a robot and they kept it? That is unbelievable (in a bad way) Hope this review helped =)
