EspañolEVEN STEVENS
:''For the Latter-day Saint composer and hymnwriter, see Evan Stephens.''
'''Even Stevens''' was an American comedy television program that aired on Disney Channel. It premièred on June 17, 2000 and ended on June 2, 2003. The show was Produced by Brookwell McNamara Entertainment
Set in Sacramento, California, the show focuses on the Stevens family, in particular the harebrained schemes of middle-school student Louis and how he annoys his perfectionist older sister, Ren. Although a sitcom, the show did not use a laugh track. However, one of the main trademark camera shots used on the show were fast-motion transitions between scenes. The title is a pun on the phrase 'even steven', which is often employed to describe a situation, such as a sporting event, in which the scores are even.
The show was originally produced as a show called "Spivey's Kid Brother". A pilot was filmed in late 1997, and shown as the first season finale "A Weak First Week", and was later picked up by Disney Channel as "Even Stevens". In the first episode Disney had to dub out the name "Spivey" to "Stevens". In a possible coincidence, the character Louis Driscoll from the show The Secret World of Alex Mack had a best friend named Louis Spivey in the 1996 episode "Spivey", one year previous to the creation of the ''Even Stevens'' pilot.
In the theme song of the show, Louis and Ren turn their remote controls into lightsabers, alluding to Star Wars. Prior to this, Ren reads a TV Guide with live-action photos of Christy Carlson Romano and Shia LaBeouf on the cover.
Although the show lasted three seasons, the timeline of the show is only one school year, since Louis and his friends remain in the 7th grade and Ren and her friends remain in the 8th grade. They all finally graduate in The Even Stevens Movie.
As of September 2006, ''Even Stevens'' along with ''Lizzie McGuire'' airs exclusively on Superstation WGN. On July 7, 2007, Disney Channel aired eight episodes as part of their "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Louis" marathon to coincide with the July 2, 2007 release of Shia LaBeouf's latest film Transformers.
