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.

You have an essay to write on "The plumage of television over the last few decades" and you think "Zoey 101" is the perfect subject. 7. You want to be able to look back and remember where Jamie Lynn Spears went wrong in her already pathetic career. 6. You hope Britney will guest star. 5. You want to find a new term to describe "crap" but aren't too sure how to spell "Jamie Lynn Spears." 4. You want to punish you little bro or sis. 3. You want to ante up the conversation when your friends are talking about "Gigli." 2. Your options were: "Snail Colony" or "Zoey 101." 1. You want to make sure you spell "Zoey 101" right when you submit it for worst show on basic cable at next year's Teen Choice Awards.

Everybody is basically bashing this show for the same reason. The show is not supposed to be realistic! If you want a 'realistic' show then make one yourself, because even reality shows are scripted. In reality we work, go to school and do stupid things, or watch Netflix all day. Do you really want to watch a show like that? They made it unrealistic because that's what kids and teens like and that's what makes the show exciting. Who cares if you don't like the show? The show is actually really popular so your opinion doesn't matter, people are still gonna watch the show regardless.. I know I do. Sure, zoey 101 gives us high expectations and all but then again, it's a show. it's made up. You all want realistic but what's the point of 'acting'if it's realistic? Acting is supposed to be fun, not boring. The show is awesome.

As somebody who grew up on Pete and Pete, Clarissa, Salute Your Shorts, and all the other classic Nick shows, I hold a fond place in my heart for Nickelodeon. But that place has, generally, been reserved for anything before All That appeared. In my (not-so) humble opinion, that's the moment at which the network started to go downhill.

Okay, so Zoey 101 isn't exactly on a level with Pete and Pete. It's got elements of The O.C. in that it's based on upper-class lifestyles. But I'm not going to discriminate against it based on that. Any given show is going to be about a very small slice of society. This one just happens to be an upscale slice.

It's a decent show. It's shot well, so it's visually entertaining -- something I can't say for most Disney and Nick shows. And, though it's classic preteen content, it's spun in a way that stops me from vomiting, as I do watching most other crap being peddled on children these days.

That's saying something. I'm 19 and I can tolerate this show. That's near-glowing praise.

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.
