Season 1: 2006-2007

Production

Hannah Montana debuted Friday, March 24, 2006 on Disney Channel with "Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?". The first season completed its run on March 30, 2007 with "Bad Moose Rising". The first season is comprised of 26 colored, full-screen, approx. 23-minute episodes (without ads) recorded on multi-camera.

Opening and closing sequences

Opening sequence

The theme song for Hannah Montana is "The Best of Both Worlds" written by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil, produced by Gerrard and performed by Miley Cyrus (as Hannah Montana). John Carta, who also composes the music cues to signify scene changes and commercial breaks, composed the music for the song. The song's lyrics describe the basic premise of the television series.

The full-length version, which is 2 minutes, 54 seconds in length, was included on the show's soundtrack, released in October 2006. For the TV version of the theme, which lasts only 50 seconds, only the first two stanzas and the last two were used.

"Just Like You" and "The Other Side of Me" were originally tested for the opening theme song, before "Best of Both Worlds" was chosen as the theme. Stage and features episode clips of each cast member when each cast member's name appears. Each cast member's name is "wiped" on the screen in a marquee-light-style. The sequence then switches to full-screen episode clips (most of the clips used in the Season One version of the sequence were of the early produced episodes) with the creator's names appearing in the second-to-last clip. The show's title logo design appears at the beginning, and again at the end, of the sequence (the latter portion as with most other portions of the sequence on the "concert stage" feature Cyrus as her character Hannah Montana).

Closing sequence

Most of the episodes of the first season end with a scene that doesn't have to do with the plot.

Trivia

• The episode Torn Between Two Hannahs is the first episode that acknowledges the song The Best of Both Worlds
• There is a goof in the episode Torn Between Two Hannahs at the very end when Dontzig grabs the bowl of candy on the side table then leaves with it, but in the next scene the bowl is back on the table
