Even Stevens is an American comedy television series that aired on Disney Channel with a total of three seasons and 65 episodes from June 17, 2000, to June 2, 2003. It follows the life of the Stevens, a family living in suburban Sacramento, California, mainly focusing on the clashing personalities of its two younger siblings, Ren and Louis.
The series was produced by Brookwell McNamara Entertainment and Fireworks Entertainment. It is often cited as launching Shia LaBeouf's breakout career as an actor. The show also features fast motion photography, which it employs in every episode.
The feature-length Disney Channel Original Movie based on the series, The Even Stevens Movie, premiered on June 13, 2003, and serves as the series finale.
As of August 2016, Even Stevens airs on Freeform for two hours after midnight on Wednesday night. The Even Stevens Movie continues to air on Disney Channel and Teen Nick, and on Family Channel occasionally. However, in the UK, Even Stevens continues to air on CITV. From its launch on June 1, 2011 to late 2012, the series were shown as re-runs on Disney XD in Canada & the US.
The show was originally produced as a show called Spivey's Kid Brother. A pilot was filmed in late 1997, 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 fact, in the gym class scene, a banner is visible in the background reading, "Home of Spivey and the Wild Wombats."
