This is definitaly THE "SUITE" LIFE!, July 30 2006
By JK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Suite Life of Zack and Cody V1 (DVD)
INTRO
I'm a 15-year-old boy, and I have to tell you that a lot of Disney shows aren't as good as they used to be. I loved LIZZIE MCGUIRE and EVEN STEVENS. My number one fav was THE JERSEY! Now, the only 2 shows I can stand on Disney are THAT'S SO RAVEN and THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY.
The only reason I actually watched this show was because I was obsessed with the film BIG DADDY (1999) starring Adam Sandler. And if you didn't know, young Julian (the boy Sandler adopts) is played by the Sprouse twins (Zack and Cody). Anyway, my younger brother was watching THE SUITE LIFE, and I saw the credits say "Dylan Sprouse - Cole Sprouse". So I decided to check it out.
REVIEW
I am ADDICTED now! The show is so funny and original it's impossible to not like it! You may have noticed that most Disney shows are extremely similar. In both LIZZIE MCGUIRE and THATS SO RAVEN, the main character has an annoying brother, and two friends (one boy and one girl). THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY isn't like that. Most of the situations on the show are original and funny.
One of my favorite characters is London Tipton, the obvious spoof on Paris Hilton. London's father owns the Tipton hotel chain, and London isn't very bright, and is spoiled rotten! I think they captured Paris pretty well!
THE DVD
Ok, now about the DVD. This is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. These episodes are great, but there are other ones that I wish I had on DVD! I was however excited to see the "never before seen episode" on the DVD. However, DO NOT BUY THE DVD FOR THAT. Because in August, this episode will be aired on Disney. Just get your TiVo's ready instead of buying the DVD!
OVERALL
THE SUITE LIFE is an origial show on DISNEY CHANNEL, and does not disappoint. Even though the episode selection could be better, the show is still full of laughs and excitement! Enjoy these episodes, and if you decide not to buy, don't forget to watch THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY on Disney Channel at 6;30 (5:30 central)!
Thanks for reading my review!

Suite Life with Few Parental Worries, Nov 30 2006
By Mark Ebert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Suite Life of Zack and Cody V1 (DVD)
"Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is a sitcom like the ones I grew up on ("Diff'rent Strokes", "The Facts of Life", "Growing Pains"). However, I would say that--99% of the time--it is even more kid-friendly than those shows (when it comes to young children).
Each episode features a moral lesson; something that is severely lacking in today's television entertainment. The characters are enjoyable and mix well with each other. Unlike many shows of the same genre both adults and children take their turn at wearing egg on their face: proof that we all make mistakes and that "growing up" doesn't stop with physical height.
I hope that Disney will eventually issue a season of this series on DVD and I wish ABC (owned by Disney) would begin showing entertainment like this during the eight o'clock hour (once known as "The Family Hour").
