  • not a good episode...

    "Poor"

    Carey gets a secreat admirerer and the twins try to set her up with someone. But, of course, they set her up with the wrong person. Arwen was the one with a crush on her. I really don't like Arwan. He is one of the most unrealistic characters I have seen on tv. He's the matenence man but he breaks everything. Anyways, the story in this episode was unorigonal and it was also unrealistic. In real life, how many kids actually try to mess with their parent's dates? None, it just happens on tv...a lot...so this story is overdone and boring.moreless

  • This was the first episode where we get to see Arwin. Arwin was a very funny character but I don't think that this was one of his best episodes.

    When Carey gets a secret admirer she thinks that it is Serge. Zack and Cody find out that it is Arwin. They try to prove to Carey that Arwin is her secret admirer and Serge is a liar. I liked the episode and I like Arwin but this really wasn't my favorite Arwin episode. I think the character got alot better and alot funnier in his later appearances on the show. But still, the episode did have plenty of funny moments. Like when Cody called Serge and pretended to be Prince Bopalapashamalamadingdong and asked him to get goat milk for his wifes bath. Then in the end Serge ended up wearing the milk when Carey found out that he really did lie about being her secret admirer and Zack and Cody poured the milk on his head. A very funny episode. Not my favorite, but very funny.moreless

    Cute episode. It's funny how Zack and Cody try to find out Carey's secret admirer is. They think it is Serge, but really it is Arwin. So they try to uncover the truth about everything. Meanwhile, Mr.Tipton says he is coming to escort London to the father-daughter dance. But London thinks Mr.Tipton isn't coming because everytime he promises something he ends up having to un-promise because of something.

    I wonder when the driver of the airplane came in to the Tipton Hotel, I wonder if the audience watching it thought that guy was Mr.Tipton. Otherwise, it was avery funny episode and I recommend it too all.moreless

    This episode is not one of my favorites but it was fair enough for me to enjoy watching it...nothing really great happened...i think they play this one to much on tv. but that's just me.....i like it a little bit but not that much to where i wanna or have to watch it all the time...and i do agree it is hysterically funny! that i agree with,but i think it's just the story line did not thrill me too much..I watch it but i dont love it...so all in all it's a nice episode. ive seen better though. its okay.moreless

    Carey receives a flower from a secret admirer. Zack and Cody looks around the hotel and finds a guy who they think is the secret admirer. They set up the guy with their mom. But as soon as they do this, they realize that they set up their mom with the wrong guy. Zack and Cody do their usual trouble making. This episode shows a lot of funny stuff, the jokes are really funny. The pacing is done right, the actors really do look funny when they act out their parts. I enjoyed this episode, I'm looking forward for more.moreless
