What a great show!!!

This is my favorite show.The acting is great and the jokes are funny! See I never really liked That's so Raven and when I heard about this I was just gonna check it out. I was so glad I did!! I think it's the best Disney Channel Show ever.

To all those who hate it I can't see why. The acting is not horrible at all!! The Sprouse twins did a great job and Brenda Song and Ashley Tisdale were remarkable. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody RULES!!! And I hope it goes on for a long time like Full House and Boy Meets World. Keep up the good work!! Take a look at the Suite Life. Trust me...You won't regret it.
