MacKenzie Falls is the number one, award-winning hit tween drama starring Chad Dylan Cooper.

"You know a lot of people would say that it's So Random that we won this award, but it's not So Random, it's NEVER So Random, because MacKenzie Falls Rules! Thank you Tweens!"
------- Chad Dylan Cooper, "West Coast Story"

Summary[]

MacKenzie Falls is a fictional popular prime time soap opera aimed at tweens starring Chad Dylan Cooper who plays the titular character of Mackenzie. The show films in Stage 2, a sound stage adjacent to So Random!. The Guardian describes MacKenzie Falls as "basically every adolescent soap opera from Dawson's Creek to Gossip Girl shoved into a blender." MacKenzie Falls' far-fetched and confusing plots parody those of teen dramas prompted Tawni to ask Chad, "What is your show even about?."

MacKenzie Falls won the Tween Choice Award in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.

According to an interview with Sterling Knight, MacKenzie Falls airs during 8/7c on Wednesdays, right after So Random!. So Random! and MacKenzie Falls have had a long time rivalry.

It can be assumed that the show was cancelled due to the fact that Chad Dylan Cooper became a regular on So Random in season 3 or because Marta Balatico was arrested. However in Tony Hawk, Chad hints that he is still starring on MacKenzie Falls.

Rivalry with So Random![]

A longstanding rivalry exists between the casts of MacKenzie Falls and So Random! The cast of MacKenzie Falls often criticize the cast of So Random! for being on a comedy show, claiming that they're not real actors. MacKenzie Falls cast members all exhibit snobbish behavior, and are afraid that So Random! will become more popular than MacKenzie Falls. Chad Dylan Cooper is the ring leader of the cast, and the other cast members follow his cues without question. The upscale MacKenzie Falls studio includes a chocolate fountain, gourmet snacks, massage room, and a meditation room for its actors. The studio cook enjoys MacKenzie Falls more than So Random! and therefore expresses favoritism for the former cast, demonstrated when she fed the MacKenzie Falls cast dishes such as steak and lobster and the So Random! cast dog food.

The cast members of MacKenzie Falls are all quite superficial and vain. In the episode "Sonny at the Falls", the cast tricks Sonny into leaving the So Random! cast and hanging out with them. Despite the prominent rivalry between shows, it was shown in "Falling for the Falls" that the So Random! cast got hooked to MacKenzie Falls at one point or another.

Selena Gomez comes on "Battle of the Network's Stars" as a guest star (playing herself) and plays Sonny in Chad's movie. Everyone in the So Random! cast is in the movie excluding Sonny. Selena plays Sonny very well but Sonny disagrees. Sonny then gives Selena some pointers on how she thinks she should play the part of Sonny in the movie.

When Chad starts dating Sonny, both MacKenzie Falls and So Random! are not in approval. Though as Sonny and Chad continue dating, the casts seem to be able to, at the very least, tolerate their relationship. The cast of So Random! and Chad even appear to have formed a bond through Sonny. This is best shown in "Sonny With a Secret", when the So Random! cast enlists Chad's help when they believe that Tawni is out to get Sonny. As Sonny and Chad's relationship moves forward, the casts appear to be more civilized with each other for their co-stars' sakes.

In "Chad Without a Chance", Sonny's So Random! co-stars are shown to be completely disgusted by Sonny and Chad's relationship and even after Sonny attempts to bring them closer, it seems that Chad and the Randoms are just too stubborn to be friends.
