The Suite Life of Zack & Cody

“The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” is a U.S. sitcom crafted by Danny Kallis and Jim Geoghan. It debuted on the Disney Channel on March 18, 2005, drawing in 4 million viewers, which marked it as Disney Channel’s most successful premiere that year. It was among the first five shows offered on the iTunes Store. The series received three Emmy Award nominations and three Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award nominations. It was also a key feature of the now-defunct ABC Kids Saturday morning lineup on ABC.

The show takes place in Boston’s Tipton Hotel and follows the antics of mischievous twins Zack and Cody Martin, who reside there. Other central characters include the hotel’s airheaded heiress London Tipton, candy counter employee Maddie Fitzpatrick, the hotel manager Mr. Moseby, and the twins’ single mother Carey, who performs at the hotel’s nightclub. It is the third Disney Channel Original series to exceed 65 episodes, following “That’s So Raven” and “Kim Possible.” Reruns are broadcast on Disney XD.

The success of “The Suite Life” led to a spinoff, “The Suite Life on Deck,” featuring the Sprouse twins, which aired on Disney Channel from 2008 to 2011. Additionally, a TV movie titled “The Suite Life Movie,” based on both series, premiered on Disney in 2011.
