  • Pilot Your Own Life was a very good episode but I wouldn't say that it was a favorite of mine. It was funny but alot of the other episodes were better.moreless

    Cody sees a guy giving a lecture. He tells people that they are the pilot of their own life and Cody really likes the lecture and he starts to go around and give advice to everyone that they should pilot their own life. He tells this to Carey and Estabon, and Maddie and everything that he tells them to do backfires. I'm not going to waste much time with the review of this episode because to me the only really great part of it was the fight scene between Maddie and London. Poor Moseby gets stuck in the middle of the fight too. This was my favorite part of the episode. The rest of the episode is not that great. It was a good episode but really not great.moreless

    Pilot Your Own Life is an average episode. It may be a little above average though. It was so overplayed the first few months it was on, but it's rarely on anymore, like most of the other Season 1 episodes. This episode was pretty funny, but not that funny. London and Maddie's fighting towards the end of the episode was very funny. That's definitely the funniest part of the episode. It's not that funny now though, cause I've seen it so many times. I think this is Muriel's last appearance but I'm not sure if she's in a Season 3 episode.moreless

    Cody watches a lecture by a motivational speaker similar to the real life motivational speaker Tony Robbins, Cody gets inspired by him and he starts motivating everyone around him, but his effect on people are not so positive. London and Maddie are chosen by a teen fashion magazine to compete in an annual cover shoot. They end up becoming so competitive with each other that they resort to dirty tricks in order to outwit each other. It's really hilarious episode, it's so funny, the stuff that happens are so funny. Each scene had some joke in them, it's so hilarious.moreless

    The best part of this episode was definately the fight scene between London and Maddie and I'm sure lots of people will agree. The plot was definatly thought out and the script was well written. Maddie's kung-fu imitation was hilarious but you could tell it was a voice over. This episode was all about testing the friendship of Maddie and London. Cody definately used his intelligence in this episod too.

    Overall, hilarious episode (ecspecially the fight scene.)moreless

    Ok! I didn't like this episode like i like the others this one was probably the worst episode in the series. It's about Cody seeing a presentation of this guy who thinks you should pilot your own life so Cody goes around the hotel telling every employee in the hotel to pilot their own life and every employee listens to Cody and in the end Mr. Moesby gets mad and then everything turns out really wrong! Meanwhile Maddie and London have a fight of who should win the teen trends trend of the year. It ends up that London spies on Maddie and steals her outfit and both of them win.moreless
