The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (Disney Channel, Disney XD)

Back in the day, I could handle this show. It was fun and the characters were interesting, but as time went on, the show just got worse and worse. Like at the beginning, London was, yes, not the brightest, but she was still smart. Not the mind numbing baffoon she is today, but back then, you can tolerate her and she was funny. Maddie was a little bit sassy, but she was also a very kind hard working girl, that was also friends/enemies with London. The mother was hard working, and actually a very good mother. Mr. Mosby seemed mean at first, but it shows a lighter side. Zach of course was into the ladies, but no where NEAR as bad as he is today, he was the trouble maker, but still remarkibly childish and sweet. Cody was a hard worker and almost always did the right thing without being a total spaz about it. I loved the first season. But as time went on (and they start growing) Zach and Cody put a bigger focus on girls, and they began to drift apart and do their own thing. London became so dumb and sqealish, I kept having to turn the channel back and forth. Maddie kept getting shipped of somewhere like Antartica and camp to make room for new people to take her place (bad move Disney) The episodes became pointless and boring, very pradictable. But I admit I loved the show when it first came out, I'd recomend buying the first season if you want to watch it, maybe even season 2 but I'm begging you not to buy the last season before it became the ULTIMITE train wreck.

This show features two young boys withprepubescent hormonal rages getting into schemes to meet girls and obtain material things like bikes. One boy perpetually teases his brother about being a goody-goody nerd, while the other is both a behavior problem and dislikes school. Can you say stereotype. The hotel owner's daughter is vapid and self-absorbed. But the stereotype that I found most distasteful was a German inspector character named Schickelgruber. Some things shouldn't even be joked about. The world's most notorious mass murderer is one of them.

i dunno wats wrong with the parent and the cms raters...this is a good show...theres nothing to do with sexuality or watever on it...so wat flirting...it happenes all the time in middle school get over it...its a good show and i dont know why the parents are being so overprotective about it!

This show is very popular with 11 and 12 year-old girls who spend hours on the Zack and Cody web site chatting about how cute they are and who knows what else. I am really not comfortable with this level of organized training to make our kids into fanatical, starcrazed consumers. Unlike Lizzie Maquire, or That's So Raven, etc. This show depicts adults and tween agers behaving irresponsibly and unkindly on a daily basis without any character development beyond. I do not recommend this show.

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.

This is probably what I would call my go-to show, when there's nothing else to do, and nothing on TV, I'll watch Suite Life, which is a pretty decent show that makes my sister and I laugh quite a bit. True, some of the adult characters are rude towards the kids, and vice-versa, but if you have confidence that you raised your kids the right way, let them watch this show, they're probably not going to start treating you like that, which is what some people think. It's funny to watch Zack and Cody and London and Maddy getting into trouble and fixing it, a great show for kids, tweens, and teens!

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.

This is ok. I mean it's not so inappropriate, but some of the behavior of the characters isn't good for some kids to see. But the episodes are funny and quirky and ya gotta love the episode Zac Efron was in! And the parallel univerese episode! Overall good show.

this show is great but the two boy flirt way to much.
