Cory in the House
Encyclopedia
Cory in the House is an American
television sitcom, which aired on the Disney Channel
from January 12, 2007 to September 12, 2008 and was 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. This is also the only Disney Channel spin-off series to be broadcast in standard definition
for the entire length of the show. Reruns of the series no longer air on Disney Channel
, but occasionally air on Disney XD
.
and 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.
Similar to 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'

and Robbie Nevil
, and performed by Kyle Massey, Maiara Walsh, and Jason Dolley (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
, Sonny with a Chance
and Jonas L.A. also do not include clips
from the show in the opening credits except for the last season of Wizards of Waverly Place. 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 since 2007, 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).

Main characters
- Cory Baxter (Kyle MasseyKyle MasseyKyle Massey , is an American actor, dancer, singer, comedian and rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is perhaps best known for starring in the Disney Channel sitcom That's So Raven, in which he played Cory Baxter, and in the Disney show Cory in the House, a spin-off of That's So Raven...
), is the protagonist of the series. A teenager, Cory lives with his dad Victor Baxter and is best friends with Newt Livingston, and Meena Paroom, on whom he had a crush on. But later admitted that he and Meena were just friends and said "Being friends feels, just right". Cory often is irritated with the President's daughter Sophie Martinez, because of her two-facedness, and also with Candy Smiles, as she keeps calling him "C-Bear". He usually looks to his dad for advice. Cory occasionally cooks up various "get-rich-quick" schemes, all of which end badly. He plays the drums and has a great sense of rhythm, which is why he is part of the band DC3 founded by Newt, Cory, and Meena. His catchphrases in this series are "Coming Daddy!","You Know How I Do.","Dang!” and "Daddy No!". Cory is similar to his big sister Raven Baxter (from That's So RavenThat's So RavenThat's So Raven is an American cable television teen sitcom/fantasy series. The show premiered on the Disney Channel on January 17, 2003, and ended on November 10, 2007. The show spawned Disney Channel's first spin-off series: Cory in the House...
) and they both are always getting into some crazy situation, but in the end they find a way out of it. When he was much younger he played the same role in "That's So Raven", though there is a notable difference in portrayal, as younger Cory was introduced as a minor annoyance and villain, while on his own show Cory is much more like his older sister. He will do anything in order to get money. He also loves Beyonce, who he thinks he will "marry" some day. In some episodes, in a humorous climax, Cory's trousers would fall down, revealing his underwear, usually with dollar-signs on them.
- Newton "Newt" Livingston III (Jason DolleyJason DolleyJason Scott Dolley , is an American actor and musician, best known for his roles on different Disney Channel projects.

, he is the best friend of Meena Paroom and Cory Baxter. He is a bit clueless and he loves rock and roll. He also has some similar characteristics as Raven's friend Chelsea Daniels,(from That's So RavenThat's So RavenThat's So Raven is an American cable television teen sitcom/fantasy series. The show premiered on the Disney Channel on January 17, 2003, and ended on November 10, 2007. The show spawned Disney Channel's first spin-off series: Cory in the House...
) and Cory's friend Larry. He loves to say, "Awesome!" at something that is not really 'awesome', like when the school students were getting flu shots. Somehow, he is not smart enough to figure out obvious things, yet he has the knowledge to solve confusing things. He plays the guitar (his favorite being a SquierSquierSquier is a musical instrument brand name owned by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.-History:Fender, under the ownership of CBS, acquired the Squier brand name in 1965 when it bought a USA based string making firm , but it lay dormant for many years...
Stratocaster), and is part of DC3. He also knows about Cory's crush on Meena. He appears to use jeans and chains whenever he is not in any particular costume. He is funny and immature. Sophie once had a crush on him. He is like Chelsea because he doesn't really notice the obvious and is really friendly. He also hates the idea of running for student body president, as he doesn't think he'll make a good leader, and it would totally throw off his care free life style, despite his parent's wanting him to. Even worse is that if he did run for student body president he says he would win even though he wouldn't try thanks to "the Livingston Curse" a curse meaning that a Livingston will win no matter what(though many people would take that as a blessing). Between his parents, his fear of leadership, and the Livingston Curse, Newt has been forced (though he enjoys it) to make up excuses for his parents as to why he can't run for student body president, naming the day of the year he makes them up "Excuse Day". It didn't work as his father had been attacked by a porcupine, and to Newt's "surprise" the water shooting thing didn't really happen. His guitar is a Cherry Flaming Red Fender that is tuned for rock 'n roll.

. She likes to wear American clothing and to listen to rock music, which her father frowns upon. Jason Stickler, the son of the head of the CIA, is obsessed with her to the point of spying on her constantly. Meena's father is very disapproving of Cory and Newt. In Ain't Miss Bahavian he once banned her from being near them because he believed that they had hypnotized her to disrespect their country. Her father later decided to let them still be friends after Meena came clean about the secrets she had been keeping. It's obvious that Cory has a crush on her, and he thinks she will like him back if he does nice things for her; however Meena sees them as just friends. Cory has been seen now to think of them just as friends as well. She has two different crushes in some different episodes, them being Craig Berkowitz and Nanoosh. Meena is similar to Eddie (from That's So RavenThat's So RavenThat's So Raven is an American cable television teen sitcom/fantasy series.

). They both have a love for music, and are the only gender of their group of three. According to Maiara Walsh, her Bahavian accent is a mix of Brazilian and Arabic. In one episode, it is revealed that she was taught to hate Dubinians because of an 800-year-old misunderstanding, but in the end, she forgave and forgot.
- Sophia "Sophie" Martinez (Madison PettisMadison PettisMadison Michelle Pettis is an American teen actress, best known for playing Sophie Martinez on the Disney Channel sitcom Cory in the House and as Peyton Kelly in the 2007 film The Game Plan.-Life and career:...

) is the President of the United States and Sophie's father. He always gives Cory some advice like in the episode "New Kid In Town". He often does his catchphrase by looking in the camera (thus breaking the fourth wall) and saying "The President of the United States". He also tries to be funny and tells jokes that are often humorless like in the episode "A Rat By Any Other Name" And in the episode "Nappers Delight". He often counts on his assistant Samantha Samuels in some cases like in the episode "Just Desserts" and the episode "I Ain't Got Rhythm". His actions as president are very serious although sometimes he may conduct in some childish behavior. He usually enters the scene whistling Hail to the ChiefHail to the Chief"Hail to the Chief" is a march primarily associated with the President of the United States.

himself. He often challenges Cory, by humility, ways to win her heart, even though it's obvious that Meena has no feelings for him because he hasn't learned that he can't make her love him, it takes time for a friendship to grow. And in the end, he was always bested by Cory. His father is a C.I.A agent, that is why he has many gadgets. His father equips him with all the latest CIA technology. Jason often uses the CIA devices to his own benefit, although his plans usually go wrong. He is also sometimes seen with an 80s-style haircut and is very proficient with the keyboard. His father is 001. He is a fan of Sci-fi movies and films. And much like Sophie, he's sometimes the antagonist and sometimes Cory, Newt, and Meena's friend since he and Cory had dinner together at the Purple Lobster after fighting over Meena on the bathroom ceiling and he helped Cory sneak the President (who was actually Burt Ponsky, the assistant manager of Cheese In A Cup) out of the mall and back into the White House and he helped Newt on his date and he needed Cory and Newt to be his friends since his robot was broken and he has been mentioned going to the movies with Cory, Newt and Meena.
- Samantha Samuels (Lisa Arch) is President Richard Martinez's Personal Assistant. She is very strict and likes things fit to the President's needs. She hates Cory's schemes in which he tries to make money, which end up involving the President. Chef Victor affectionately describes Samantha as "overly stressed". She likes bird calls, and can do them better than the President. Samantha does however have a soft side which she showed to Sophie during her slumber party in "I Ain't Got No Rhythm" as it was her first one and she was ecstatic. Sophie sometimes assigns her to do her homework. It is revealed in The Presidential Seal that Samantha has heterochromiaHeterochromiaIn anatomy, heterochromia refers to a difference in coloration, usually of the iris but also of hair or skin. Heterochromia is a result of the relative excess or lack of melanin...
, when she said that she only had one grey eye.
- Candy Smiles (Jordan Puryear) is a girl who attends Washington Prep and has a 4.0 Grade Point Average. She hates the lack of pep in the school in the in Smell of School Spirit. She went out with Cory a couple of times and in "We Have No Chemistry" they share a kiss. She is also best friends with Meena and has a black belt in karate revealed in We Have No Chemistry. She also tutored Cory in Chemistry because he was about to go to summer school. She went out with a guy named Juan Carlos making Cory jealous in "Macho Libre". She has also been to Mexico and likes Mexican things.
- Tanisha (Zolee Griggs) is a bratty, spoiled 4th grader who is one of Sophie's classmates. As claimed by Sophie, she is the most popular girl in her class. She has a similarity to Muffy's little sister, Buffy from the TV Show, That's So RavenThat's So RavenThat's So Raven is an American cable television teen sitcom/fantasy series. The show premiered on the Disney Channel on January 17, 2003, and ended on November 10, 2007. The show spawned Disney Channel's first spin-off series: Cory in the House...
. She is one of the Sunshine Girls with Sophie. Tanisha cheated her way to being class president by fake crying. She appears in several different episodes. However, in some episodes it can be questioned that Tanisha and Sophie are friends, even though at first she seemed like Sophie's enemy. In "I Ain't Got No Rhythm" she nearly left Sophie's sleepover because she did not like Samantha.
- Haley (Brianne Tju) is one of Sophie's best friends, and somewhat high-strung. She is terrified of school or any kind of work. Haley's mom also taught her that you should talk about people behind their backs when you don't like them (which is shown in the episode 'Making The Braid'). Haley is a Sunshine Girl, like Tanisha and Sophie. She also really likes ice cream, and was part of Sophie's singing group "The Pink Cupcakes" along with Tanisha.
