One common thing to hear nowadays, especially from people from Generation Y is how kids TV shows aren't as good as they used to be, and how they don't make kids shows like they used to. Many people from Generation Y have early childhood memories of the kids shows that were on TV in the '80s and '90s. Even kids today who weren't alive when those shows aired seem to prefer TV shows back then over what's on today. It's hard to explain why, but a lot of the TV shows for kids nowadays aren't as good or memorable as they were when we were kids. It seems like those shows have gone downhill since the dawn of the 21st Century. However, there are a couple of examples of good kids shows that have been on TV since then. TV shows that we can consider entertaining, well done, and worth our time. The Suite Life Of Zach and Cody is definitely one of them. This is a show on the Disney Channel that started airing in 2005 and continued until 2008. It was later followed by The Suite Life On Deck from 2008-2011. But, of the entirety of the series, I have to say I like Season 1 the best, the episodes that aired in 2005. I also want to say, that I seriously can't believe how long it's been since the year 2005. I mean, a little more than a month from now it will be 2015, so 2005 is almost a decade behind us. Man, time flies I remember that year as if it was yesterday. It was the year I graduated from High School. But, to think of the good TV shows on TV back then, The Suite Life Of Zach And Cody was definitely one of them. I found that show on TV, without even having heard about it, and an episode of the show really entertained me so I continued to watch the show back then. There was even a girl I was friends with during my first semester of college that watched it too. To review the show, I haven't watched that many episodes since back then, as the show seemed to go downhill after Season 1. I also stopped watching that show regularly, as I started to consider the show cheesy and thought that the show was probably mostly meant for prepubescent kids. But, when I watch the episodes today, even if they aired after the first season, it takes me back to when I watched this show back in 2005. It was a pretty well done show. We get to know the hotel the twins live in, The Tipton. I've looked up online to see if there is a real hotel called the Tipton in Boston, and from what I heard, there isn't. But, that hotel will seem real to us as we watch that show, and we'd want to stay there. The characters on that show, seem to take great pride in the Tipton, especially the manager Mr. Moseby. We have the main characters, Zack and Cody played by twins who were in an earlier movie called Big Daddy. We see the funny adventures those kids have at the hotel and in their lives. We see how their single divorced mother Carey tries to raise them, and she seems like a good mother, but a little crazy at times. We also see how they frequently bother Mr. Moseby, but we know while sometimes he acts like he doesn't like them, he cares for them so much and the twins really care for Mr. Moseby. We probably prefer them the most at age 12. How the main characters are 2 boys, this show can also be just as much for girls as there are two other characters, London and Maddie that have about as much screen time as the boys. Maddie is a girl that's smart and works at the hotel. She's a good friend with London. London on the other hand is rich, and an idiot. London does not know what it's like to not be rich. She also is a girl with style. This show is also a funny show with a laughing track that comes on during the funny scenes. The show however has some flaws. Like one, the show is obviously shot on like a stage where they don't show the other side of the room. Frequently scenes take place in the lobby, in the twins suite, ballroom, or hallway. The only episode I can think of that shows the pool in the hotel is the first episode, as they tried to pretend there was some big swimming pool at the top floor which obviously there wasn't. The characters on the show also act more fiction than realistic, probably to entertain a younger audience. Of all the episodes I've seen, my favorite episode was from Season 1, The Ghost In Suite 613. That episode was really good and funny, I've heard it was the twins favorite episode they worked on that season too!! You can watch this show, or show your kids it. It's got good reviews, and was quite popular. I'm sure no matter what projects the cast do in the future, we will always remember them from this show. This show is definitely one of the better shows of the 21st Century, and a good TV show you can watch on the Disney Channel. I give it an 8/10. It still had some flaws, and some of the episodes weren't entertaining. Still, great show!
