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.

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!

I genuinely like this show, even though I'm in middle school and should be over this type of stuff. But the main characters are cute and the storylines are interesting, albeit unrealistic. Watch it.

AWFUL! Any other kid I know could write a show better than this (not sarcastic, seriously they can). It totally realizes on guest stars for views! Why anyone thinks there's anything even remotely entertaining in this I have no idea...Just another Hannah Montana aimed for girls AND boys. Did I mention every plot is unoriginally about dating too? *gags*

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.

Hate it too much attitude for these kids. My daughter ends up imitating them which annoys me to no end

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!

This program is a nightmare. What are they thinking with the TV Y-7 rating? This show is NOT for kids aged 7 to 9, imo. I think it's too sophisticated for children in this age group, mainly because the characters are kids older than 7 to 9 year olds with life situations much different than this age group (i.e.,conversations about having crushes, etc., words like "HOT!', etc) ALSO, where does Disney do its casting, in Utah?? The actors and actresses on its popular shows (except for "That's So Raven" with its African-American lead actress) are all white, beautiful, and in the in crowds. No one is fat, ugly or not dressed fashionably. What does that tell your children? The only way you will be successful is if you are good looking and hang out in crowds w/the beautiful people and behave a certain way. I am cancelling Disney Channel at my house. There are too many other more worthwile things my kids' minds can be fixed on besides this junk-food TV.

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