The third season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody starts this Saturday, June 23rd (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) on The Disney Channel with the twins' (played by real life twins, Cole and Dylan Sprouse) middle school graduation ceremony.  But the celebration is hampered by Zack learning he will have to attend summer school to get his diploma and Cody realizing that he beat out his own girlfriend for class valedictorian.   The Martin Brothers will be up to their normal shenanigans, that's for sure.  Look for a rare appearance from Zack and Cody's rockstar dad, Kurt (Robert Torti) in this Suite Life episode, called "Graduation."

Zack and Cody will have plenty of chances to get themselves into and out of trouble during this new season, with their first summer jobs, girls and starting high school.   As for your other favorites from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Brenda Song, who plays London Tipton, recently told Disney Adventures Magazine that we can look forward to seeing more of her than usual this season:   "London has to stand on her own.  For a few episodes, Ashley (Tisdale) isn't going to be there - she's going to be shooting High School Musical 2.   So London is going to be in new situations by herself."  That's good news for all the London fans out there, but don't worry, Maddie fans - Ashley's absence won't be for long, and you'll be able to see a lot more of her when High School Musical 2 comes out on August 17th.

Suite Life fans can also see cast members Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Ashley Tisdale and Brenda Song participating in various challenges as part of the Disney Channel Games 2007.  The challenges will air during the programming block from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday nights this summer through August 25th.  The Disney Channel Games are hosted by Phill Lewis (Mr. Moseby) and Brian Stepanek (Arwin).
