Zoé

Every time I watch Zoey 101, I find myself more interested in the subplots than the main plot. Why? Because the subplots are more about the other characters on the show, rather than the queen bee Zoey (Jamie-Lynn). Let's face it- Miss Spears cannot act. The only reason that she is the lead is because of her celebrity connections, not her acting ability. It's really a shame because some of the more supporting characters on the show are my favorites. For example, the characters of Quinn and Logan are very much underused, and it's a shame. Therefore, I would've given this show a three if it weren't for the great supporting cast that are just waiting in Ms.Spears' shadow.

As i said with unfabulous, this show is aimed for teenagers, therefore it isn't exactly going to be realistic is it?! as its showing on a teenage/kids channel its meant for comedy and appeal to kids. and personally i don't mind the show and enjoy watching it. and I'm sure many kids feel the same way. when i watch it i get a few laughs from it and think most of the story lines are actually funny and good. I'm not saying the show is the best series I've ever seen but I'm not saying its the worst either, and just because it has Jamie Lynn spears in doesn't mean its automatically awful and bad acting. it seems to me nobody gives the relatives of actors shows a chance! but i think people and actually the kids who its aims at should. and if the people who give bad reviews hate it so much just don't watch the show and go and watch a documentary instead if you have no sense of humour or imagination.

I can honestly admit that I really enjoyed season one of Zoey 101, I can also admit that the reason I gave the show a chance was because I've been a huge fan of Britney Spears for years, and trying out her little sister's series seemed like a fine idea. I absolutely love the charm and cheesiness of season one, with a cast of very likable characters and a very "Lizzie like" bushy haired sorta dorky kid who tries his hardest to get Zoey to notice him as more of a friend. After season one's end, I really looked forward to season 2, which just premiered, although after watching the first episode, I noticed something was different, the cast went from kids to teenagers, of course it may seem silly that I said that cause all kids grow up, but it really changes the whole mood, where even the bushy haired kid isn't as dorky anymore. I still love it, and I won't stop, despite all the criticism it gets, but I have a feeling season 2 will bring along with it a completely different energy.

I originally watched this show because I'm a Britney Spears fan and wanted to see if Jamie Lynn Spears had any acting talent.

Zoey 101 is about a girl who is in boarding school and dealing with most issues that a young teen comes across.

I think that Zoey 101 is a cute show for the age group it's intended for. It's not offensive and the story lines are decent. While the acting isn't as great as other shows it's still pretty good for the level of acting skills the young cast has.

The show's characters were well casted and viewers will fall in love with the scenery.

Hopefully the acting will improve in future seasons.

I just want to stand up for this show everyone is dumping on. It is not suppose to be a realistic view on life in a boarding school. It's suppose to be fun, and for the most part it delivers the goods. I think the leading lady is rock solid in her role. She's not always perfect, like when she stood up for Dustin against a bully and also when she tried to baby him, sure life in the school is unrealistic, but that is the case for most, if not all? situation comedies of this sort. Examples, High School Musical 1 and two, Hannah Montana ex cetera, so just strap yourself in and enjoy the ride. The last of shows seem to have a lack of focus. The producers seem to be stepping away from the comedy and focusing more on serious stuff. The Haunting of pca by the ghost was very weird like the concept wasn't entirely thought through, if want more drama in the show the characters have to be deeper.
