Synopsis

Zoey 101 is an American television series which originally aired on Nickelodeon from January 9, 2005 until May 2, 2008. It focuses on the lives of teenager Zoey Brooks and her friends as they attend Pacific Coast Academy, a fictional boarding school in Southern California. It was created by Dan Schneider. It was initially filmed at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, then at stages in Valencia, California beginning in season 3. It was nominated for an "Outstanding Children's Program" Emmy in 2005. Zoey 101 was the most expensive production ever for Nickelodeon series, as it was shot completely on location in Malibu. It was also Nickelodeon's best performance for a series premiere in almost eight years. Despite this, many critics have made negative comments about the show, its setting, and its characters.

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
SnoopyStyle The Pacific Coast Academy was an all boys boarding school. Zoey Brooks (Jamie Lynn Spears) is one of the first girls attending joining her little brother Dustin. The bushy-haired Chase Matthews is immediately taken with the new girl. Her room 101 is shared with Dana Cruz and boy-crazy Nicole Bristow. In the second season, Lola Martinez (Victoria Justice) is Zoey and Nicole's new roommate. Quinn Pensky is the brainy girl. Logan Reese is the rich arrogant jerk. Michael Barret is Logan and Chase's nice roommate.This is one of those sunny, bright, wacky Nickelodeon kids TV shows created by Dan Schneider. For little kids, there is nothing particularly offensive. It's got a nice group of young photogenic friends. There is nothing real or substantive. These kids are mostly good child actor types. The biggest question is Spears. She is probably the least child actor of the group. She's a little stiff. I can only surmise that she got the lead for being Britney's little sister. She's able to grow into the lead role. The friendships and the support cast are the best parts of this show.
Priscilla Golden 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.
iheveryone123 i don't know. sometimes i think people throw a bunch of cr@ppy ideas together to make a quick buck. this goes for a lot of the tween/teen series. you know what gets me annoyed? how everyone brown noses Zoey. I know i am ranting, but the other day i was watching it with my brother who is 15, and i am 14. me and him got mad when everyone was like "oh, let's make Zoey captain" for a team that was entirely someone else's idea. it got to the point where my brother shouted "they are all riding Zoey except that Logan guy" In other words, they were all sucking up to Zoey and everybody wanted to be apart of some aspect of her life. Okay, i know it is fun to THINK THESE TYPES OF THING, but sometimes they go a little too far. like here is just a few reasons: -boys in girl dorms: um, no. if i went there and my dad knew that boys can go in girl dorms, he'd be P|$$3D!!! the rule is, guys can't be in there after eight o clock. so basically, you have until 8 to get knocked up. Let's not forget one of the reasons why the show WAS canceled...(little miss perfect got herself knocked-up) -sushi bar: yeah "okay" lets just assume that everyone has rich daddies to get them SUSHI whenever they want. in Pennsylvania, (in the Poconos anyway...) for maybe like 15 rolls of sushi is like 60$ NO LIE!!!! Remember what assuming makes... (@$$ out of you and me) - I like the way everyone just about flew in from some other state just to go to PCA. then again, they claim they have no money or only get $15 a week. Puh-lease. some people flew in from north eastern states just to go to the so-called expensive school - I like the way throughout the whole series, maybe only like 2 people EVER hated her guts. Everybody came to her like she is some advice column. - nobody had their own thoughts. Zoey was the only person who ever came up with ideas that weren't "dumb". as soon as zoey opened her mouth, everybody was all-ears. like she was able to control the mass student body. and zoey was always voted to be a leader. how about the kids grows some and take charge for once. -every guy drools over her. almost all the guys want to go out with her. why can't someone else get a chance at love other than her? and i mean getting a guy who is popular, not like Quinn's first boyfriend. i really have like five other things, but i don't have the time. but lastly, the acting sucked then got better. like, when zoey finds out her brother is getting bullied, they talk and that scene bothers me because it is rehearsed and you can see it. it is supposed to look natural and life like. as soon as zoey said something, Dustin said his line immediately and vice-versa. rating */********** (would've given .5 a star but no, it doesn't go lower and the plots are weak and dumb) sorry for my misspellings.
Correctomundo Is there really anything more to say about this show? Jamie Lynn Spears being the lead actress in the show proves that nepotism is alive and well. I'm not going to complain about Zoey Brooks being portrayed as the perfect girl at a completely unrealistic boarding school in California, because that would be too easy. Instead, I'm just going to say that every episode is unfathomably predictable. I guess I shouldn't complain about that EITHER considering that Dan Schneider is the writer for this show. This show really fell into a vat of diarrhea in the third season, though. Every other episode from then on was about Logan doing something stupid, and then Zoey, Quinn, Lola, Chase, and the token black kid do something totally unrealistic so that Logan can get his comeuppance. Are you serious? Opening up a shower curtain to reveal Logan's micropenis is considered child pornography, and all students involved would probably be expelled. Plus, when Austin Butler's character was introduced, I wanted to shoot my Plasma screen with a .44 Magnum. It's his first day there, and he has about fifty girls playing with themselves outside his window. Also, that one repulsive girl, Stacy, who always has the bad luck and likes to churn her butter to Logan and build stuff with Q-tips— NO. Okay? She was such a filler character, and when she got hit by a car in the last episode, I jumped for joy, but then cried because she survived. I'd say that Dan Schneider has passed his prime and needs to find a new line of work. I'm sorry, but reusing the same jokes in every single TV show he writes for, and coming up with alternative titles for popular products to avoid copyright infringement isn't funny. Perhaps it was in 1999, but not as of 2008. Just go die, Dan Schneider, PLEASE.
