The Suite Life of Zack and Cody was one of my favorite childhood Disney Channel shows, so much so that I've seen every episode multiple times. However, one episode in particular I've only seen a few times because it was banned from ever airing again shortly after its premiere in 2005. That episode was Season 1, Episode 18, "Smart and Smarterer," where Zack faked having dyslexia to get out of doing school work. So, since nobody can see this episode, let's go through it and see if it's still worthy of being banned, or if the reaction was completely overblown.

They banned it then they goofed a few years ago and put it on On Demand. They also banned Doin' Time from season 3 because of Chris Brown (the whole series was On Demand for awhile).

Later they banned Tiptonline, the one with London's Yay Me! web show, and Zack and Moseby's addiction to a video game. Who knows why on that one? And one or two more from season 3.

As far as Smart and Smarterer, there was no reason to ban it. Zack got caught in the end

Me too! I discovered it years ago when I couldn't sleep, and it was on at midnight in reruns.
