Making the Show: Production Details
Hannah Montana first aired on Friday, March 24, 2006, with the episode "Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?". The first season finished on March 30, 2007, with "Bad Moose Rising". Each episode was about 23 minutes long without commercials. Filming for the season started on November 7, 2005, and finished in September 2006.
Show's Music: Opening and Closing
The main theme song for Hannah Montana is "The Best of Both Worlds". Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil wrote it, and Miley Cyrus sings it as both Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana. The song's words explain the main idea of the show: having a secret identity.
The full song is almost 3 minutes long and is on the show's soundtrack. For the TV show, only a shorter 50-second version is used. Before "Best of Both Worlds" was chosen, "Just Like You" and "The Other Side of Me" were considered as theme songs.
In the opening, each actor's name appears with clips of their character. Then, full-screen clips from early episodes are shown. The show's title logo appears at the start and end of the sequence.
Most first-season episodes end with a short, funny scene that isn't part of the main story. The credits for the crew and guest stars are shown during this time.
