Oh okay. That's good, he's never been my favourite character, and I definitely wouldn't watch that series.

not to be rude but the show isn't very funny and the fake laughs are just retarded

Yeah that's kind of what's the craze on the Disney Channel right now. With That's So Raven starting it and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody & Hannah Montana continuing it, there's no slowing down for the unfunny yet still phenomenonly popular DC shows. It's funny that they're so popular while other structured and well built shows like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire and Phil of the Future have a relatively small fanbase, when compared with the other shows.
When I say this, that's not to say that I don't like TSR, TSLoZaC and HM, because I do like them all, but they did take a while to grow on me because of the unsophiscated dialogue and downright franchise feel to them. There's a few moments where they shine, the dialogue is amusing, and the characters are very likeable after a few views of them, so I guess it's whatever floats your boat. I like all of the DC shows, whether TSR, Phil or Kim Possible. They're all good.

Some of the jokes on TSL are actually pretty funny and are unlike a lot of things I've seen/heard on other sitcoms. I actually think TSL is funnier than TSR, HM, and PotF. Also, I like how it isn't very cliche when it comes to stereotypes yet has a wide range of ethnicities.

Having written "some of the jokes on TSL", I thank you.

My favorite stereotype was Ilsa Schikelgrubermeiger. That's not one you see very often in children's television.

I agree that TSL is really enjoyable. There are times when characters (usually Maddie/London or Zach/Cody) exchange quips, and I think, "that was actually pretty good." The only things I don't like are the cheesy lines from Mr. Moseby and Esteban. Esteban and whichever twin plays Cody are the two actors that really get under my skin. Esteban is SO ANNOYING.
Arwin is an interesting subject in my eyes. I think the lines are incredibly cheesy, but the actor, IMO, is the best on the show. The guy is great! I wouldn't watch a show starring him as Arwin, but he should definitely try to look elsewhere. I'm sure he could get on another sitcom.

The Brenda Song interview offers that TSL will go beyond the 65 episodes. That will mean at least about 22 episodes more.
