In kind of the same way as the old movie, Groundhog Day, Cody is stuck reliving in the same day over and over after the ship is struck by lightning. In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray was frustrated stuck reliving the same day over and over again and finally learned that by changing some things about his own behavior he landed up changing his relationship with his love interest, Andie McDowell.

Here, Cody tries to use each day as a chance to let Bailey know how he feels about her, but something gets in the way every time. It’s then up to Cody to divert the ship from the lightning to set them back on the right course.

This is a rare Cody-centered plot that allows the development of more attachment to Bailey by Cody and maybe vice versa? We will see…

Here is something extra- a video courtesy of You Tube and MTV TRL of an appearance on Total Request Live by Cole and Dylan Sprouse- Enjoy!

This episode has two names- one from Disney “Show and Tell” and I’ve seen it called “Showgirls” on other TV listing sites but no matter what it’s called it should be funny.

Zack, ever girl crazy, convinces Cody to sneak out after curfew so they can catch the Starlight Follies show. They manage to make it past the security guards (with great, if not too convincing, mustaches and sailor uniforms) and get into the show and then they see something that surprises them. They think that one of the show girls is their teacher, Miss Tutweiller. Meanwhile, London and Bailey are convinced that Miss Tutweiller and Mr. Moseby are dating and they are trying to prove it.

Last week Bailey tried to cozy up to Cody to win a contest with London over whose animal (her pig vs London’s pampered pooch) was smarter while Zack was attracted to a rich passenger. London was again showcased as a goofy, not too bright, spoiled rich girl, almost a cartoon of herself the way the show’s writers are playing her. I hope she gets more substance as the show goes on. I miss her interactions with Maddie, but hey she (Ashley Tisdale) is busy with HSM3…wonder when we will see her visit the ship?

Meanwhile, Cody referees an intelligence test between London’s dog Ivana and Bailey’s pet pig Porkers. It will be interesting to see what they do with London in upcoming episodes- her role hasn’t been large and when we see her, its to see her complain and act spoiled…well, she always did that in the Suite Life but it may be getting old. Hope they expand her role a bit.

By the way, its official- The Suite Life on Deck is a hit. Its No. 1 in its time slot which is great news for fans.
