[edit] Synopsis
Set in Sacramento, California, the show focuses on the Stevens family, in particular the harebrained schemes of middle-schooler Louis and how he annoys his perfectionist older sister, Ren. Although a sitcom, the show did not use a laugh track. However, one of the main trademark camera shots used on the show were fast-motion transitions between scenes. The title is a pun on the phrase 'even steven', which is often employed to describe a situation, such as a sporting event, in which the scores are even.

Production on the show ceased after 65 episodes due to Disney's 65 episode policy, even though the show was still quite popular. The show concluded with the Disney Channel Original Movie The Even Stevens Movie, which aired on June 13, 2003.

As of September 2006, Even Stevens along with Lizzie McGuire now air on WGN Superstation.
