Cory in the House is an American television
comedy show, which had premiered on January
12, 2007 on the
Disney Channel and is
a
spin-off from the Disney show
That's So Raven.
The show
focuses on Cory Baxter, who moved from
San Francisco,
California
to Washington, D.C.
, after Victor Baxter
gets a new job in the White
House
as the official head chef. The series marks
a
Disney Channel first, as it is the
channel's first
spin-off.
Production
The first episode on January 12, 2007 was a sneak peek. The show
was created by Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler, who first produced
Full House, then, since 2005,
produced
That's So Raven.
Cory
in the House began filming on July 18, 2006 at Hollywood Center
Studios
(where The Suite Life of Zack &
Cody and That's So
Raven were filmed), and uses a studio audience in some
scenes. Reruns of
Cory in the House still air on
Disney Channel. J-4 teen magazine has
reported that it has been offically confirmed by a Disney Channel
spokesperson that production has wrapped on Cory In The House, but,
"We still have episodes that will air." No new episodes have been
announced as of 2009.
Much like
Hannah Montana,
many of the episode titles are parodies of popular songs. For
example, "We Built This Kitty on Rock and Roll" comes from
"
We Built This City", "Mall of
Confusion" from "
Ball of
Confusion", "Smells Like School Spirit" from "
Smells Like Teen Spirit", and "Ain't
Miss Bahavian" from "
Ain't
Misbehavin'".

Plot
The show
centers upon Cory Baxter (Kyle Massey), who had moved from San Francisco,
California to Washington, D.C., after his father Victor
Baxter (Rondell Sheridan) gets
a new job in the White
House as the official head White House
chef. Cory's best
friends are
Newt Livingston
(
Jason Dolley), the son of the
Chief Justice and a U.S. senator, and
Meena Paroom (Maiara Walsh), daughter to the
Bahavian
Ambassador. Thus, Cory begins a
new life.
He quickly develops a short-phased crush on Meena, created a band
(DC3) and meets the pest of the plot, Jason "Stickler"(
Jake Thomas), the
CIA's top
spy's son who
stalks in the shadow of Meena.
Cory is often irritated by the President's daughter,
Sophie Martinez (
Madison Pettis), and he's also often
disciplined by the President's assistant,
Samantha Samuels (
Lisa
Arch), but he gets along well with the President,
Richard Martinez (
John D'Aquino), while dealing with his
new-found everyday challenges.

Theme song and opening sequence
The theme song to "Cory in the House", was written and produced by
Matthew Gerard and Robbie Nevil, and performed by Kyle Massey and
Maiara Walsh (though the closing credits of the show credit the
performance of the theme song only to Massey). An alternate theme
song "Rollin' to D.C." is also sung by Massey and Walsh and was
used in the music video to promote the series.
Unlike the live-action sitcoms on Disney Channel that were made
from 2003 to 2006, the opening credits of
Cory in the
House did not use clips from the show in the sequence and also
were not updated for the second season, instead keeping the same
credits as those used in the first season.
Lizzie McGuire
and
Even Stevens also used the same opening credit
sequence for both of their series runs, and those series along with
recent series
Wizards of
Waverly Place,
JONAS and
Sonny with a Chance
also do not include clipsfrom the show in the opening credits. It
is also the first Disney Channel sitcom to include the Disney logo
above the series title logo (until 2007, only Disney Channel's
animated series only included the logo above the title logo), which
was added to the title after the first few episodes (however, all
Disney Channel series that do this leave out the "'s" at the end of
the Disney logo, so if the title is read in its entirety it would
be read as
Disney Cory in the House instead of
Disney's Cory in the House).
