Why It's Even

 * 1) One of Disney Channel's best comedy shows.
 * 2) Great acting, especially from Shia LaBeouf and Christy Carlson Romano.
 * 3) Memorable characters such as Ren and Louis, as well as their Stevens family (Donnie, Steve, Eileen) and the others (Alan, Tawny, Tom, Beans).
 * 4) *Louis is a likable and hilarious protagonist, as his mischievous antics and energetic personality make him entertaining to watch. He also gets some character growth, as he learns to take life more seriously on a necessary level in the final season.
 * 5) *Ren is also likable, as she serves as a great foil to her brother Louis. Like Louis, she grows as a character, as she becomes less of a perfectionist and learns to live life to the fullest.
 * 6) Great episodes from every season such as "Swap.com" (the first episode), "Battle of the Bands", "Heck of a Hanukkah" (a Hanukkah episode, see below), "Love and Basketball", "A Very Scary Story", "Influenza: The Musical", "Band on the Roof" and "Leavin' Stevens (the final episode of the show).
 * 7) Some rather heartwarming moments.
 * 8) The intro is memorable, with its claymation and pop-culture references.
 * 9) The television movie, mh:greatestmovies:The Even Stevens Movie was a great way to end the series.
 * 10) It has a Hanukkah episode called "Heck of a Hanukkah", making it one of the few Disney Channel shows to display other religions.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some characters are unlikable sometimes:
 * 2) *Ren's personality can make her unlikeable sometimes.
 * 3) *Louis, while still a likable protagonist, can also be unlikable sometimes whenever he’s greedy, immature, rude, or selfish, especially when his pranks and troublemaking ways land him in trouble sometimes.
 * 4) The characters (including the Stevens family) can get mean-spirited towards Louis. While it is mostly understandable, given how much of a troublemaker Louis can be, it doesn't excuse how badly they hurt him.  As a result, the audience sees Louis in a more sympathetic light.

Trivia

 * In the United States, both this show and Lizzie McGuire were once syndicated on the non-Disney network, Superstation WGN.
