Production

Opening sequence

For season four, the opening credits from season three were used with some minor revisions. The names (excluding Mitchel Musso as his character has become a recurring character) appear on a scrolling marquee as you would see on a theater, featuring a different font. The sequence then changes to wide-screen episode clips, in which only season 4 episode clips are included. The same version of the song "The Best of Both Worlds" from Season 3 was used; however, a green screened concert version was used with the Season 3 concert stage for the concert scenes. The creators' names appear in the second to last clip. A new version of the switch from Miley to Hannah is featured in the middle of the theme song, as Miley admires a hug between her and her dad in a clip of Hannah Montana Forever. At the end, the versions of Hannah's "shhh" and "laugh" clips were changed to one clip instead of two separate clips.

86 1 "Sweet Home Hannah Montana" Bob Koherr Michael Poryes
Steven Peterman
July 11, 2010 (2010-07-11) 402 5.7[13]

The Stewarts move into their new home when Miley and Lilly realize that Robby has moved Miley's old bedroom furniture, including white bunk beds, pink walls, pink bedding, dolls, a stuffed unicorn and Rainbow Piggy, and they set out to make some changes. Meanwhile Jackson must please his obnoxious neighbor TJ to get close to TJ's cousin, Siena who lives next door.

Absent: Moises Arias as Rico
Guest stars: Angus T. Jones as T.J., Tammin Sursok as Siena, Morgan York as Sarah, Hayley Chase as Joannie Palumbo
Hannah song featured: "Are You Ready (Superstar)"

Notes: Starting with this episode, the series is broadcast in high definition and is the last pre-2009 Disney Channel series to transition to the format; the show now utilizes a filmized appearance, though the show is still shot on videotape (which is standard for Disney Channel multi-camera sitcoms). With the Stewart family having moved into a new house in this episode, the series is now the second Disney Channel series to change its primary setting during the course of the series; JONAS (which was renamed JONAS L.A. for its second season, due to the show's setting being moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles) is the other. Mitchel Musso is no longer a series regular and has been removed from the opening credits, due to him being downgraded to a recurring role on the series on account of Musso landing a starring role in the Disney XD series Pair of Kings and working on his music career.
