The Suite Life on Deck

Just finished watching the premier episode. The show does have a different feel that the original, but is very funny. I won't give away any spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, but so far, the show is off to a very good start. My honest opinion is that the first episode was funnier than most episodes of original and that's saying a lot.

The new characters Woody and Bailey had some very funny moments and fit right in with Zack, Cody, and London. I was afraid Zack, Cody, and London would feel like different characters because Dylan and Cole Sprouse said on Jimmy Kimmel that Disney intended on this being a completely different show. Judging by the first episode, it will be different, but the four returning characters are exactly the same which is great. Returning fans will love this. I know I did!

When they announced the Suite Life was moving on Deck I was skeptical. Fortunately this show blew my expectations out of the water (pun intended) and was even better than the original! The antics were funny as ever, the cast extremely funny, and a pretty emotional ending considering how long Zack and Cody were on our television screens. If you loved the original, you'll like this even more.

Average: 7.746

The Suite Life on Deck is a fun, cheesy, quirky, and feel-good series starring Dylan and Cole Sprouse as the notorious yet lovable twins, Zack and Cody. The show is light-hearted and enjoyable though the premises are a tad bit unrealistic. The twins, and everyone else who join them on this voyage, are on a cruise ship. All the kids are shown to attend their schooling up until graduation in the series finale on the ship.

Throughout the length of the show, the characters build bonds, learn new things about themselves and their close ones, and grow to be better versions of themselves. Towards the second season, most of the character and relationship developments can be observed in depth. Zack has become a gentleman, but that does not stop him from pulling legs. Cody has come far from the asocial boy that he used to be. London has grown a liking for the people around her and has begun to genuinely care about others instead of constantly and selfishly putting herself ahead. Most of the episodes are chill, though some could just possibly irk the viewer badly. Although the set-up isn't exactly realistic, it is entertaining to watch.

The actors have brought the characters forward with such life that one cannot help but grow fond of them all. The episodes are always goofy and do not fail to amuse the viewer all in all. The episodes tread waters of romance, heartbreak, friendships, loyalty, quirky horror, and sci-fi. The last season had a bunch of interesting episodes, though many aspects seemed to be hastened. A lot of happily-ever-afters were forced upon the characters with the arcs making blunt trajectories out of the blue. However, the series finale will remain my favourite episode of all despite being one of the most far-fetched ones.

I, like another member that posted, am not in the targeted age group for this type of show, but I loved it! I feel Suite Life both shows were really funny youthful shows. It was nice watching the boys grow-up on screen. Being that I love useless facts and statistics I love knowing where I have seen faces before. Amazingly enough I realized these were the little boy in Big Daddy. Wow on how old you seem when you remember seeing them as very young kids and now they are entering adulthood. I especially liked the closing; it was one that I enjoyed and felt that was relevant to the entire plot of the show. Few shows have had final episodes that were good and explained the future of the characters.(still mad at Seinfeld's ending)I will miss laughing at the characters antics. It was a wonderful show.

As with all Disney shows produced "The Suite Life on Deck" is a great show for kids and teens. The Sprouse brothers and the whole cast does a great job as well as the casting director by looking for guest stars and co-stars. As I already mentioned in the title - it is a typical Disney show production - so it is very likely that adults won't be tho thrilled with it. If you are not an adult in the entertainment business and watch it for the purpose to keep up with Disney and Nick style you have a real boring life. It is made for kids and teens and it is good. The show also, for adults maybe not so obvious, points out problems and issues of teenagers in our society. As it is with all shows and films it might be a bit overdone ... The show is obviously a bit campy - but in a good way - kids enjoy it watching fun and this is the only way to bring these issues closer to them. By observing the content and the plots we can filter out the issues of growing up teenage boys (also in some ways of girls) and the American issue of masculinity and femininity. Further we see the problems of school and leisure time and how it is supposed to look like in our society. Of course not everything in the show is great. It is not the most expensive production which of course takes away some of the quality. Some of the cast members from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody are not in this show. In some ways that's positive in some it is negative. Ashley Tisdale is missing to play the opposite of Brenda Song. Casting did a good job to find a substitute and therefore a new cast member with Debby Ryan. Still Tisdale is missing.

All in all the show is very well made for KIDS and TEENS and I am pretty sure that they will enjoy watching it. If you are an adult don't complain that it is a bad show - it is not made for you! Great job Disney!
