Those who grew up watching Disney Channel likely loved to see the mischief caused by Zack and Cody Martin on the popular show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. The twin brothers were played by Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and they tortured Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) while somewhat befriending Maddie Fitzpatrick (Ashley Tisdale) and London Tipton (Brenda Song). Years later, the show is long gone, and the cast is all grown up.

TV stars can’t always demand the kind of high-paying gigs entertainers receive for movies. This is even more true when it comes to child actors. However, in some cases, breakout stars are able to negotiate paydays that make their peers jealous. Cole and Dylan Sprouse, the titular stars of the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, certainly qualify.
Cole and Dylan Sprouse starred on ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody’ from 2005 to 2008
On the show, the young actors — who broke through on TV’s Grace Under Fire and the 1999 film Big Daddy — play Zack and Cody Martin. The twin brothers live in a suite at Boston’s Tipton Hotel.
With the show primarily set within the hotel, Zack and Cody get into all manner of mischief with other kids, often with the twins going up against hotel manager Mr. Moseby (Phil Lewis). Cole and Dylan Sprouse,...

For most of its nine years on television (eight regular seasons and one semi-spinoff season), "Scrubs" was off-the-wall and surreal. The show, about the journeys of medical interns to full-fledged doctors, could be as nakedly emotional and touching as the best hospital dramas. It could also be incredibly silly. Much like "Ted Lasso," another show from creator Bill Lawrence, "Scrubs" is very sincere and warm-hearted, but it embraced the bizarre with relish, especially as the seasons went on.
The key to the "Scrubs" weirdness came in its main character, J.D. (Zach Braff), who also served as narrator for the show. J.D. is neurotic, constantly wondering in voiceover about whatever plights he and the other characters might be facing. From there, the show would move into J.D.'s fantasy sequences, loaded with elaborate visual gags. Sometimes, the fantasies would speak to the episode's thematic throughline. Other times, they...

The 2022 Emmy ballot for Best Comedy Directing lists 178 episodes, so there will be seven nominees. As a refresher, last year’s winner was “Hacks” (“There Is No Line” by Lucia Aniello) and the other nominees were “The Flight Attendant” (“In Case of Emergency” by Susanna Fogel), “B Positive” (“Pilot” by James Burrows) and “Mom” (“Scooby-Doo Checks and Salisbury Steak” by James Widdoes), plus “Ted Lasso” with three episodes.
With the exception of “Mom,” which ended last year, all of these series are back in the running. “Hacks” once again went with a solo submission (as it did with writing), with Aniello defending her title with the episode “There Will Be Blood.” After getting three slots last year, “Ted Lasso” takes its shot with four episode submissions, including nominees Lowney (“Inventing The Pyramid Of Success”) and Delaney (“No Weddings and a Funeral”), along with Erica Dunton (“Rainbow”) and Sam Jones (“Beard...

The Directors Guild of America has announced its nominations in its television categories, with “Succession” sweeping the drama-series category by landing all five nominations for different episodes.
The last time a single series swept all the nominations in the category was 1983, when “Hill Street Blues” took every slot in a category that at the time only consisted of three nominations. No program, drama or comedy, has ever swept all five nominations in a DGA Awards series category.
In the comedy series category, “Ted Lasso” took three of the five slots, with “Hacks” and “The White Lotus” taking the remaining two.
In the category devoted for TV movies and limited series, the nominees were Barry Jenkins for “The Underground Railroad,” Barry Levinson and Danny Strong for separate episodes of “Dopesick,” Hiro Murai for “Station Eleven” and Craig Zobel for “Mare of Easttown.”

Actor-director Phill Lewis has decades of experience in the sitcom space, primarily focused on live-action comedy. This television season alone he has directed episodes of Netflix’s “Mr. Iglesias,” CBS’ “B Positive,” the “Punky Brewster” and “iCarly” continuation series, and the still-to-be-scheduled “Head of the Class” reboot. But, the Covid-19 pandemic gave this industry veteran a first: directing animation with “One Day at a Time’s” “The Politics Episode.”
How different was your process to prep for “The Politics Episode” than a live-action one?
The most important part was knowing the actors as well as I did. I think that really helped alleviate any stress going from live-action to animation because I knew what their wheelhouse was.

Paramount+ released the trailer for its “iCarly” revival Tuesday, giving fans a first look at what grownup Carly Shay’s (Miranda Cosgrove) life looks like and how she decides to restart her web series. And a big difference between teen Carly’s world and this one is it is sorely lacking in Sam Puckett.
Cosgrove says the absence of Carly’s Bff, Sam — played by Jennette McCurdy, who recently said she has quit acting, on the original series — will be addressed early on in the revival so fans aren’t left hanging with questions about what she’s up to and why she’s not here with Carly, Freddie (Nathan Kress) and Spencer (Jerry Trainor).

Will its move finally produce Emmy nominations in top categories? It now shares a network with “Schitt’s Creek,” which earned a Best Comedy Series bid in 2019 and could win in 2020.

Happy Together tells the story of a famous pop star that ends up living with a suburban couple in an effort to live an ordinary life. It may be just a wacky concept for a sitcom, but for executive producer Ben Winston the story hits close to home…very close to home.
During the CBS session at TCA Sunday, Winston was joined on the stage by sitcom stars Felix Mallard, Damon Wayans Jr., and Amber Stevens West as well as executive producers Tim McAuliffe and Austen Earl. Winston shared his story about how One Direction band member Harry Styles lived in the attic of his London home. Styles was supposed to stay for two weeks but then ended up setting up shop at their abode for 18 months. Winston said that although his experience with Styles wasn’t as eventful as many may think, it would provide for a good story for a sitcom.

CBS has locked down Damon Wayans Jr. and Cedric the Entertainer for the 2018-2019 TV season, granting series orders to a pair of comedy pilots starring the actors.
The “New Girl” alum’s project, a (still) untitled multi-cam series from writers Tim McAuliffe (“The Last Man on Earth”) and Austen Earl (“9JKL”) and singer Harry Styles and “The Late Late Show” exec producer Ben Winston.

CBS has kicked off its pilot-to-series orders with nods to two multi-camera comedies, Welcome to the Neighborhood, starring Cedric the Entertainer, and Untitled Damon Wayans Jr. project (fka Untitled Austen Earl/Tim McAuliffe), Both sitcoms come from CBS sibling CBS TV Studios. And if CBS is sticking to its playbook of picking up fall shows first, these would be the two new comedies the network would introduce next fall, possibly alongside the straight-to-series Murphy Brown revival.

While the One Direction alum was not formally attached in the pilot stage, he will now serve as an executive producer on the series, which is not based on real life experiences or characters.

Ken Park, a doctor pursuing a career in comedy, has been offered a great opportunity: A starring role in Dan Harmon’s new comedy about a group of misfits at a community college.
Park is a bit of a goofball, so ultimately Harmon writes the part of Señor Chang, an eccentric Spanish teacher, for the comedian. Sound familiar?
The Season 2 finale of Ken Jeong’s ABC sitcom “Dr. Ken” rips a page out of real life, sort of. “Community” creator Dan Harmon guest stars as, you guessed it, Dan Harmon (playing a particularly surly version of himself). Also appearing:
Alison Brie – who played Annie on the show, opposite Jeong’s Chang – and a few other familiar faces from the show, including recurring actors Erik Charles Nielsen (Garrett), Danielle Kaplowitz (Vicki), Richard Erdman (Leonard), and Luke Youngblood (Magnitude – pop pop!).
“The word ‘surreal’ was pervasive,” Jeong said of having Harmon on set.

Get excited, Suite Life of Zack and Cody fans! Last week, former co-stars Dylan Sprouse, Cole Sprouse and Phill Lewis reunited while all three actors were in New York City. The longtime friends made sure to snap and epic reunion photo to share with fans of their hit Disney series. "You really have know idea how much @dylansprouse and I miss you. @ThePhillLewis," Cole wrote along with the smiling Twitter pic. In the photo, the trio look like they couldn't be happier to be back together again. All three are bundled up in coats and scarves as they stand on the street. Too cute! In addition to their nostalgic reunion, we can't help but notice how grown up (and handsome) the Sprouse brothers are...

To say that I’m excited for Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here would be a huge understatement. I’ve been following this one literally from day one, when Braff launched the project on Kickstarter, and have been looking forward to it ever since.
Braff brought us a brilliant first teaser trailer last month, and took to The Today Show with Mandy Patinkin this morning to debut this first theatrical trailer.
Wish I Was Here tells the story of Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor, husband and dad who at 35 is still trying to find his true place in life. He and his wife are barely getting by financially, and Aidan passes his time fantasizing about being the futuristic Space Knight he always dreamed he’d be as a little kid.
When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids, and with...
