Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana

Featuring the characters of Disney Channel's `Wizards of Waverly Place', `Hannah Montana' and `Suite Life on Deck'
In 2009, the Disney Channel featured a crossover trilogy featuring their top sitcoms "Wizards of Waverly Place", "The Suite Life" on Deck" and "Hannah Montana". Needless to say, this rare crossover was a big ratings winner for Disney as over 9.3 million viewers tuned into the crossover episodes. And now, all three episodes are featured on DVD with "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana".

Here is a listing of the episodes featured on the DVD and brief summary of the episode:

* Wizards of Waverly Place - Episode 25: Part 1 - Cast-Away (To Another Show) - In this episode, Justin wins a contest for a teenage cruise to meet London Tipton. Excited about the contest and excited about meeting London, Justin's sister Alex and Max come along. But with Alex, due to her missing homework, she is expected to study on the ship so Alex comes up with an idea: To bring Harper along and have her pretend she's Alex, while she has fun with Bailey and uses the alias Ashley Olsen...

An Awesome Crossover!!!
These three episodes mixes up the The Russo family, Zack, Cody, Hannah Montana, London Tipton, Lilly, Mr. Moseby, and Robby Ray! Justin Russo wins a trip to the S.S. Tipton and really wants to meet London, but he pretends to be rich so she'll like him. Cody tries getting tickets to a Hannah Montana concert, Zack falls in love with Alex Russo, and much more! I highly recommend WIZARDS ON DECK WITH HANNAH MONTANA!!!

Morey Amsterdam appeared in his "Dick Van Dyke Show" character of Buddy Sorrell on an episode of The Danny Thomas Show. The casts of "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres" often popped up on each other's shows. Rhoda called Mary Richards on her show. It's kind of a TV tradition (or gimmick, depending on whether your glass is half full or empty).

The Disney Channel sitcom characters have been doing this sort of thing for years, but probably never as elaborately in "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana," which are basically three half-hour episodes that connect with each other: a winning essay lands the Russo teens on the S.S. Tipton, where Hannah Montana is having a concert. It all comes together rather well, considering how many behind-the-scenes intrigues and approvals it may have involved (all...
