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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
