This series original title was simply The Suite Life. The show's logo references this as it has a black sign reading "The Suite Life" with a paper sign reading "of Zack & Cody" taped on to it. The adjective suite has the same pronunciation of "sweet" in English, a clear reference to the twins' "sweet life" in a hotel, or "suite" as in a hotel room. Zack and Cody Martin (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) are identical twins whose single mother, Carey, (Kim Rhodes) has a gig as headlining singer at the Tipton Hotel. And being the swankiest hotel in Boston, as part of her contract, an upper floor suite in the hotel is where they all live. The Martin twins were 12-years-old (mentioned in numerous episodes in the first season) at the beginning of the series and they are now 13 (mentioned in Moseby's Big Brother). The sitcom is the second highest rated show on the Disney Channel, right behind That's So Raven. As of December 2005, the show was rated #336 on the Nielsen TV Ratings Best Shows of 2005.

Max picks up a cherry and puts it on Zack's nose. When they zoom up on Zack's face the pie cream is gone. In the episode Forever Plaid, Cody says "You're right, the penthouse does have the best TV" however later on in the episode, they're shown looking through the wall into the next room, but if it was the penthouse it would take up the whole top floor. In Forever Plaid, before the girls soccer team poked the boys eyes, in Bob's place when he was peeping you saw an eye looking back. In Kept Man, when Zack was at Theo's and had to give back the jumpsuit, you see that he has blue knee socks on; but when he walks into the Tipton, he doesn’t have any socks on. In Commercial Breaks, Arwin picked up a bowling ball to juggle as a part of his audition. But in Bowling, he said that he swore he will never pick up a bowling ball again. In Odd Couples, when Zack rings the doorbell on Cody's closet there is a mailbox but when Zack comes out the mailbox is no longer there. In Commercial Breaks, when Zack, Cody, and Carey got out of the elevator and wait in the line, you can see that Esteban and Maddie are way before them since they went to the back of the line later. But during the auditon, Maddie was just behind them. In Commercial Breaks, when Esteban pointed to the end of the line, you can see that Maddie is still in her work outfit, but later during the audition she's no longer in it anymore.(It's possible that she had changed) In Boston Holiday, in Mr. Moseby's attempt to plug the Tipton, he starts to state the number 1-800-555- (he doesn't get to finish it). However in Commercial Breaks, we see the number as 1-800-654-2192. Trivia The Suite Life of Zack and Cody was one of the first five television shows available for purchase in the iTunes Music Store.
