I wasn't really happy with this episode. It was funny but not as funny as most of the rest of the episodes of the series.

London has a bad shopping habit and Maddie tries to break her of it. I didn't like this part of the episode very much. The other part was about Max kissing Zack and Zack going out on a date with her. He didn't really want to but he did it to take one for the team. When Max finds out about this she gets mad at him but they make up and agree to still be friends. I didn't really like this episode very much. It had some funny moments in it but I just didn't like it as much as I liked most of the other episodes. To me it just didn't seem as funny as most of the other episodes.moreless

This was one of the greater episodes of Season 1 of the Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The first few episodes of the show were great. Then they had a little era between then and now with episodes like Footloser, the Prince and the Plunger, Grounded on the 23rd Floor, where my interest sank. But now for this episode and the past 3-5, the Suite Life of Zack & Cody is back up and running!

The acting was good. I liked the whole Zack & Max plot. It was kinda weird though seeing the excitement going that far with Max pulling Zack's face over, and kissing him without realizing what she was doing. "You had a bug on your face, and I killed it... with my lips!"

Wow, what an excuse. Probably the best excuse on television today. But somehow everyone else didn't fall for it. I wonder why. Hmmm...

The championship game, of course, was won on a last second shot from either Zack or Max. Can't remember. And low scoring! Only thirty points, I think, for each team. Wow. We needed more offense!

And just face it. No one can make a basket with having a basketball bounce off his or her head into the goal for "nothing but net" Thats just so unrealistic.

If we were being realistic here, they wouldn't of won the game. Yeah. Think about that.moreless

After winning a basketball game Max gets too excited and she kissed Zack. London receives a message from her dad telling her to cut her personal spending since she's buying a whole lot of stuff all the time. Maddie helps out deal with her spending addiction. Zack gets a little embarrassed with Max kissing him and everyone else around him makes fun of him. I really loved this episode, there's so much funny stuff in it. The writers came up with a really funny episode, I was cracking up all the way. We see another side of Max, it's really funny.moreless

The Maddie/London plot was hilarious! I didn't like the main plot as much.

Kisses and Basketball was the first new Suite Life episode of 2006. There was a poll and this episode won. I'm glad it won. I voted for it. This episode was very funny, especially the Maddie and London plot. I liked that plot better than the main plot because it was funnier. They used to show this episode a billion times and I'm sorta sick of it, so I gave it a 9. I would have given it a 9.5. In the main plot, Max kisses Zack after a basketball game, and Carey kisses Arwin after they win the championship. In the Maddie and London plot, Mr. Tipton bans London for shopping for a little bit, but London can't do it.moreless

- A part of this episode is in the opening credits (of Season 2), where London grabs Maddies legs saying "help me!". Edit
- When Max finds out that Zack only went out with her as a pity date, she shoves ice cream into his face and a lot of ice cream went onto Zack's suit, but when Max leaves his face is nearly clean and the ice cream on his suit just disappears completely. Zack did not wipe it off. Edit
- You can tell that when Arwin says "Kick some--" and Carey clears her throat, that Arwin is waiting for her to do the line, because he pauses. Edit
