Fantastic!

This is the BEST show to be made by Disney Channel since Boy Meets World! With great acting, an awesome plot line, and a variety of great actors/actresses and hysterical lines this is the best Disney show. Ever! This show features many many INCREDIBLE actors and actresses such as the greatest 12 year old actors, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the stunningly gorgeous Ashley Tisdale, the aspiring actress, Brenda Song, the awesome actress Kim Rhodes, The HYSTERICAL Phill Lewis and Adrian R'Mante, the infamous, hysterical, awesome Estelle Harris. Every episode has many many hysterical jokes and i often find myself laughing hysterically at some of the lines.

If you have not yet seen this, WATCH IT! I give this show a '10'
