    Zack and Cody meet new friends at school, bu when the cooler kids want them to be their friends, Zack and Cody ditch their true friends, Max and Tapeworm. When their new "friend" takes advantage of them, and invites everyone he knows to the Tipton, Zack and Cody start getting blamed for the accidents they cause. Meanwhile London helps Maddie ask out Lance while Maddie tutors her. I thought this was a superb start for the show called "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody." It was not my favorite episode though. I took off 5 points because I didn't like that Zack and Cody get blamed when they brought their friends. Other than that, it was excellent. While I enjoyed the episode, I didn't laugh that much but some of the dialog were funny. Overall, a superb start for TSL series (unoffically if you count Grounded on the 23rd Floor as the pilot). 9.5/10moreless

    Zack and Cody want to make friends at a new school, and it works. But when word gets out about where they live, at the Tipton Hotel, the "cool" kids want to spend time with them there. Zack and Cody neglect their friends Max and Tapeworm. Will they learn their lesson?

    It was kind of weak for a pilot episode of a show, but it was still great nonetheless. It did not do a good job at introducing the characters but it did have a nicep lot, and because of this, the episode gets an A- from me. Just superbmoreless

  • This episode was pretty good. It wasn't my favorite but it was good. The story with Zack and Cody trying to make new friends was good but I wasn't very interested in the Maddie and London story in the episode.moreless

    This is the episode where Zack and Cody first meet Max and Tapeworm. I never really liked Max and Tapeworm but I have to admit that they had some pretty funny moments when they were on the show. I liked this part of the story and it was interesting to see how things turned out in the end with Max, Tapeworm, and The Drew Crew. But the thing that I didn't really like was the story where Maddie tudors London to make her smarter and London tudors Maddie on how to get a date with Lance. I liked Lance but this part of the episode was actually pretty boring. I mostly liked it for the Zack and Cody, Max and Tapeworm and The Drew Crew story in the episode.moreless

    This episode is not that bad. As the pilot episode 4 the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, this should be really good. But I just wasn't feeling it. As the pilot episode, this wasnt half bad, but it really could have been a lot better. It had a lot of goofs too. Take those out, and this would have been a five star episode. But it was after all, the second episode produced of the whole Suite Life of Zack and Cody series. Also, if they would have kept Tapeworm as a regular character, the series would have been a heck of a lot better. Thats a wrap.moreless

    I Like this Episode but it is time for the new ones instead of this but they could bring Max and Tapeworm back in the series anyway because it will be fun if they were around more because they had crazy episodes with them. For Example.

    Episodes with Max and Tapeworm.

    Hotel Hangout(Both),FootLoser(only Max),Band In Boston(Both)
    Kisses & Basketball(Both),Cody Goes To Camp (only Tapworm).
    They have had Crazy episodes and you could not miss so bring them back into the new Series and the series will have extra fun and laughter with them and i hpoe they make another zack and cody series soon.moreless
