Cory in the House is an American children's television series, which debuted January 12, 2007 on Disney Channel. The series focuses on Cory Baxter, who had moved from San Francisco, California to Washington, D.C., after Victor Baxter gets a new job in the White House as the official head White House chef.

Production

The first spin-off show produced by Disney, Cory in the House was originally set to premiere on November 10, 2006; however, it was delayed to air on January 12, 2007, a week before the fourth anniversary of its parent show, That's So Raven and directly following the movie Jump In!.

The pilot episode, The New Kid in Town, was released on iTunes for free on the week of January 2, 2007. Disney Channel UK showed the first episode on January 26, 2007 as a sneak peek. The theme song "Cory in the House" is sung by Kyle Massey and Maiara Walsh. An alternate theme song "Rollin' to D.C." is also sung by Massey and Walsh and is used in the music video for the series.

The show was created by Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler, who 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.[1]

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'. Rondell Sheridan and John D'Aquino were off for one episode. Madison Pettis had to miss a few episodes to work on The Game Plan with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Because of this, Johnson was a special guest on Cory In The House.

Unlike other shows on disney channel the opening credits of the show were not changed for the second season but instead kept the same credits as season one but it is not the first time this has been done on disney channel, both Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens also used the same opening credits for the entire series.
