My Guilty Pleasure
Categories: television, humor,
I have a confession to make, and in case you did not notice the picture above it is going to be a doozie.
Every Friday I come home from work and change before going out for an early dinner with my roommates. This is about 4:30pm to 5:30pm EST. Typically my first move is to go up to my room, change shoes or clothes and just lay on my bed and relax. Each night I fall asleep in my room watching the 11pm reruns of Family Guy on "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network, channel 36. So about a month ago I came home on Friday, turned the TV on and sat down to relax, and began flipping up the ladder towards ESPN. I didn't get very far. Channel 37 is Disney, where I saw this mildly interesting show about twins living in a hotel/condo building in New York. The two main characters are played by twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who combined their half zygotes to play Julian McGrath (the kid) in the movie Big Daddy. So I have been secretly watching "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" every Friday on the Disney channel for the last four or five weeks. Worse than that, I have recently discovered they also show it a few times during the week in the 10:30pm time slot.
I don't know what it is, but for some reason that show just has a black hole effect on me. Once I flip past the channel and see it is on, I just can't not watch it. It sucks me in! So far every episode I have seen involves some kind of badly performed dance contest or talent show and a cat fight. It also features a few staples of oddly entertaining, bad family sitcoms: the single parent (Full House), twins playing twins (Sister, Sister), the kind, advice giving random adult (Full House), the mean, plot-thwarting adult (Boy Meets World) and the noticeable lack of parenting for the main character's friends (every show on TGIF).
"The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is like a club sandwich made of the best parts of the shows I used to watch when I was fifteen...check that, eleven, and I love it. So there I said it.
Screw you for judging me.

That's pretty funny. I have seen a few eps of Zack and Cody but it never stuck. I secretly watched Lizzie McGuire way back when. Thanks for visiting and giving me the insight on the Bubble release. I didn't think of it from that standpoint, coming from a metropolis like Houston. And thanks for the link too!
