Now it wouldn't be a Revisited if I didn't discuss something from my childhood that had such a huge impact on me. I grew up on shows like Ben 10, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, Ned's Declassified, Imaginary Friends, CodeName Kids Next Door, and you get the idea. I hit a time where all around me, whether that be on Nick, Cartoon Network or Disney, there were great shows to be watch and one of my favorites was none other than a show about twins living the sweet life in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. The show had everything that I wanted at the time with it's colorful characters, interesting and fun plot, and the jokes were great even to this day. The show made me excited for each episode that came out that I couldn't wait to get out of school to watch it. Because of that, the show has forever had a special place in my heart since than and now It has been a show that I couldn't wait to revisit.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is an American teen sitcom created by Danny Kallis and Jim Geoghan. The series aired on Disney Channel from March 18, 2005, to September 1, 2008. The series was nominated for an Emmy Award three times and was also nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award three times.The series is set in the Tipton Hotel in Boston and centers on Zack and Cody Martin (Dylan and Cole Sprouse), a set of twins who live at the Tipton Hotel.[1] The series' other main characters include the Tipton hotel's heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song), the hotel's candy counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick (Ashley Tisdale), the manager, Mr. Marion Moseby (Phill Lewis), and the boys' single mother who is also the Hotel's lounge singer, Carey Martin (Kim Rhodes). The series is the third Disney Channel Original to have more than 65 episodes, after That's So Raven and Kim Possible. Reruns aired on Disney XD until 2014. Reruns of the show aired on Disney Channel until April 14, 2017. The Suite Life spawned a sequel series, also starring the Sprouse twins in their respective roles as Zack and Cody, called The Suite Life on Deck, which aired on the Disney Channel from 2008 to 2011. A TV movie based on both series, The Suite Life Movie, premiered on Disney Channel on March 25, 2011.

The show went on to of course impact many kids worldwide and even spawned a sequel series and a couple movies which I of course adored just as much as the original run. I was very fortunate to be born when shows like this was all around me as compared to nowadays it's kind of rare to find a great show that just hits right. The Regular Show and The Amazing World of Gumball do a great job though but they are only two compared to the dozens of shows across multiple platforms that were available back in the day to enjoy whether you were a kid or an adult. I will forever remember this show in a fondly memory as it as now become a memory of the past but it still lives on within me as it impacted me so much as a kid so to say the very least, go back and watch this show for the sake of nostalgia or for a sake of a good kid's show that's rather rare nowadays. Whichever you choose, your going to enjoy it for sure. Ricardo Signing Off
