Trivia:

This show was originally called "Spivey's Kid Brother" and have the Stevens be the Spiveys. The show was suppose to start on Louis's first day as shown in episode A Weak First Week. In the show you can see the characters saying Spivey but hearing Stevens.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the first episode, whenever a character says the name "Stevens", the audio doesn't match up with the visual because the original name was Spivey.

Quotes:

Louis Stevens: I am making a quality cucumber shake here.
Ren Stevens: Not on my time.

One of the funniest shows ever made

Even Stevens is one of my top 10 shows of all time. The characters are great. A lot of people don't like Beans, but I think he can be hilarious. The supporting cast is excellent, but the show belongs to Shia. He's a superb actor (everyone on the show is, in my opinion). The writing is witty, clever, and original, and some episodes literally have me laughing for over half an hour (and most shows are unable to elicit more than a chuckle from me). It's too bad there's a 65-episode limit, 'cause I'd definitely like to see some new episodes (although most of 'em I haven't seen). Anyway, if you have Disney Channel, give it a try. You'll probably enjoy it.
