Although I don't watch the show much anymore I did a while ago, and I didn't like what I saw. One of the two main boys in the show said he likes girls "tall, blonde, and curvy" and says other things like that that are not apropriate for him (a 12 or 13 year old) to say. Things that sound like implying bad words like, a girl saying "oh my" paused and looked up and saw a nun and says "goodness" implying that she was about to say "god" but changed it so the nun won't be mad. I would say there is some educational value from one of the two main brothers who is practically a genius and says things that kids can learn from. But the brother who is smart and nice is made fun of by the other and no one stops it. Overall I would say if your child watches this show (or has watched this show in the past) you should have a talk with them. I may seem to be too strict but my main problem is that this show is made for kids, is starring kids, and is on kids tv stations and has these bad things on it.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Parents need to know that most adults will probably find this popular Disney program annoying and flashy. Though kids will love the fantasy aspect that comes with the notion that living in a hotel is the answer to all home-life problems, the twins' popularity among their peers seems to be for the wrong reasons at times, and adult characters' behavior leaves a lot to be desired.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fact that this series is, indeed, a fantasy, and that money doesn't necessarily make life easy. Would your kids want to live in a hotel? What would be the advantages and disadvantages? Is there any part of Zack and Cody's life that real kids can relate to? Do your kids think it would be fun to have be a twin?

Better for kids 10+
I like it alot, but i still think it has a little bit too much kissing and stuff like that. Overall I like it, but my mom and I have agreed that I should wait until I'm around 10 and a half before I should watch it anymore.
