Even Stevens

It follows the life of the Stevens, a family living in suburban Sacramento, California, mainly focusing on the clashing personalities of its two younger children, Ren and Louis.

In the episode "A Weak First Week" (where the original pilot was repurposed as flashback sequences), Disney had to dub out the name "Spivey" to "Stevens".

In the theme song of the show, clay animations of Louis and Ren turn their remote controls into lightsabers, alluding to Star Wars, several years before Disney would purchase the franchise.

Prior to this, Ren reads a TV guide with live-action photos of Christy Carlson Romano and Shia LaBeouf on the cover.

[3] Brookwell stated that network executives were initially unsure that a musical episode would be successful and were uninterested in the subgenre, but the idea was ultimately approved.

On July 7, 2007, Disney Channel aired eight episodes as part of their "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Louis" marathon, to coincide with the release of Shia LaBeouf's film Transformers.

Region 1 has not released any season of the series, however, the television film, The Even Stevens Movie, was made available on DVD (Full Screen only) and VHS on June 28, 2005.
