Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane

Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane was a show with a lot of potential. Which is why i was surprised when it only ran for a year. Jane (Azura Skye) and Jack (Michael Rosenbaum) were awesome characters played by fantastic actors and they could have taken the show to new heights. Although when the show started, it tried to be a teenage version of Friends and Will and Grace, it picked up later when the title was changed and Zoe (Selma Blair) and the gang started working. Sadly, the show was destined for only 13 episodes and was taken off air in response to the low ratings. I, for one thought the show had real potential and it could have improved if only the public had given it a chance.

I think that Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane was hysterical. The comedic of the actors was brilliant and the character development never lagged. The situations may have occasionally seemed unrealistic, but 1)they were different from many other shows that use the same old gags over and over, and 2) who wants to watch real life? Real life is monotonous and mundane 99.9% of the time. Even reality shows are not reality. Finally, I loved the fact that not everything in this show was about sex! there are so many shows where the only means of drawing an audience is but using nothing but blatant, tasteless innuendos. Zoe, Duncan, Jack, and Jane does use the gags but approaches it from a much more innocent direction...something that this world needs much more of.

This show is great. The actors who play the four main characters are just marvelous.

Michael Rosenbaum plays as Jack, a suave guy. His jaded twin, Jane is played by Azura Skye. Selma Blair plays as the cheeky Zoe. Zoe has a high school crush on the brother of a wheelchair-bound classmate. Last but not least, of the main characters is Duncan, a geeky teen.

What makes this show so great is that it all takes place in New York. Unlike like Dawson's Creek or Saved By The Bell, ZDJ&J is about gowing up in New York, noy about going through high school. A sure bet.

Some people might not like the wacky humor that is the best part of "Zoe, Duncan, Jack, and Jane," but I, for one, have not seen a show this clever and side-splittingly funny in a long time. I introduced it to my brother, uncle, and two cousins this summer, and they fell in love with it as well. They couldn't get enough of it, and were disappointed that there were only 13 episodes! Zoe (Selma Blair) is quirky and lovable, Jane (Azura Skye) is smart and funny, Jack (Michael Rosenbaum) is the money-loving adorable twin of Jane, and Duncan (David Moscow) is just a cute dimwit that you can't help loving. My favorite character, though, would have to be Breeny (Sara Rue--who's gone on to do the WB's "Popular".) The coolest thing about this show is that although the actors may not be teenagers (except for Azura Skye), they sure can act! These characters are just the best on TV and so is this show.

So Much more could have been done with this cast. The show is the same sort of cookie cutter format as Saved by the Bell, California Dreams etc...

Worth watching for the cast. Selma Blair character is much the same as her character Cecil in Cruel Intentions. In my opinon this show was created because they could get Manchester Prep. passed the censors.
