The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
(Friday - Sunday, 7:00 p.m. ET/PT)
A spirited young cast -- identical twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse ("Big Daddy," "Friends"), Ashley Tisdale ("Still Standing") and Brenda Song (Disney Channel's "Stuck in the Suburbs") -- stars in Disney Channel's hit series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody." The comedy centers on 12-year-old twins whose lives change when their single mom, Carey, gets a job as the headlining singer at The Tipton, Boston's swankiest hotel, and as part of her contract, an upper floor suite in which they all now live.
While their mom works to keep them in line, Zack and Cody are elated with the amenities of their new home, especially room service, a swimming pool, game room and candy counter. Then the hotel's teenage candy counter clerk, Maddie Fitzpatrick, steps in as part-time babysitter and foil to the twins' pranks. To the chagrin of the hotel manager, Mr. Moseby, they try to turn the hotel into their playground, and along the way make friends and foe with the disparate staff, guests and residents including the hotel owner's spoiled daughter London Tipton. Zack and Cody usually have the best interest of those around them in mind, especially their beloved mom, but somehow manage to get themselves into outrageous situations and elaborate schemes. Recurring characters are Murielle, the hotel housekeeper who couldn't care less about her job and Esteban, the earnest bellman.
The series stars Cole Sprouse as Cody and Dylan Sprouse as Zack Martin; Ashley Tisdale as Maddie Fitzpatrick; Brenda Song as London Tipton; Phill Lewis as Mr. Moseby; and Kim Rhodes as Carey Martin. The recurring stars are Estelle Harris ("Seinfeld") as Murielle; and Adrian R'Mante as Esteban.
The creators are Danny Kallis ("Smart Guy," "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper") and Jim Geoghan ("Family Matters"). Kallis and Irene Dreayer ("Sister, Sister," "Smart Guy") are executive producers. Geoghan and Pam Eells are co-executive producers. The series is from It's a Laugh Productions in association with Disney Channel. It carries a TV-G parental guideline and an E/I designation for its educational and/or informational content.
