Zoey 101

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.

At first when I saw the previews for this show, I figured that it would be another pointless Nickelodeon show that was only made because Jamie has a famous older sister. But when my younger brother was watching it one day and I watched it as well, I found that my first impressions had been dead wrong. The show's humour never ceases to make me crack up because it's subtle, simple, and not the immature bathroom and slapstick humour usually shown in shows. I'm at least 3 years older than the characters in the program and yet I still find it completely funny. Even though the show isn't necessarily revolved around humour, like a sitcom might be, funny situations are constantly occurring. In addition to the fact that this show makes me laugh profusely, the characters are very realistic and don't fall into the typical stereotype. Zoey isn't the typical main adolescent girl, obsessed with boys and full of self-esteem issues, which is a relief in these sorts of shows. In contrast, Zoey is actually depicted as perfect, which is my only complaint with the show. In conclusion, not only is this show down-to-earth and realistic, but hilarious, as well. Not to mention original. I'd recommend it for anyone of any age.

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.

Zoey 101, i don't really like this show but sometimes i just find myself watching it! the main actress can't even act, she only got the part mainly because she Britney S.'s little sis and she can't sing either because she sang the theme tune for the Show.

Zoey 101 is kinda predictable, in like every episode Zoey ends up saving the day and coming up with some idea! its also pretty unrealistic because every one loves Zoey and shes so perfect which is so dumb but what can u expect from a stupid kids show. Also there are a lot of things that happen are just plain unrealistic! but the show has some good qualities, the characters are not the typical characters u find in every TV show, and i love Zoeys room. Well this is just my opinion!!! Foyin 13 UK

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.
