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.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
sofiacheer Why is everyone giving a bad review?I find Zoey 101 very entertaining. I mean yeah, its a bit unrealistic but isn't that like all kid shows? I always find myself laughing. If you are looking for perfect acting and a realistic show then leave. This is not an adult show so get over it. For a kids show, I give this a 10 stars. It is SO much better than Sam & Cat, Spongebob, and the other shows Nickelodeon produces now. It helps kids learn to help one another. Also, it is not just for kids but it can be for teens too. Chase, Lola, Zoey, Quinn, Michael, Nicole, Dana, and Logan all have a unique personality and I highly recommend to watch this show for a good laugh.Overall, I give this show 9 stars. It is very disappointing that Zoey 101 is over .
proud_piinay_chiic510 I liked this show when it first came up in 2005. Even then, I KNEW that PCA is beyond unrealistic. I've never been to a boarding school before but a boarding school like PCA doesn't exist. No boarding school has a sushi bar, flat screen televisions, and laptops for each students.What I liked about the show is that while it isn't believable, I am able to escape reality. Yes, the show isn't the best but it helps me escape from the harsh reality and enjoy living in a fantasy.The thing that bothered me about this show is Zoey's character, I didn't realize it before but this girl is a big Mary Sue. She is little miss perfect. I couldn't relate to her. In fact, NO ONE could ever relate to her. Who would? She is too perfect-she is smart, pretty, kind, and almost everybody gets along with her. Every boy wants to date her. It is ridiculous because it tends to be exaggerated.I didn't notice it before but people here have pointed out that Zoey is always right and that she is always the leader. Now that people have mentioned it, they're right. They are doing re-runs of the show yesterday and was able to see it in a new light. Wow, this show is so boring. That's because Zoey has no flaws.There are some things that I disagree with, the characters are seen studying, opening their textbooks, and being inside a classroom. BUT they only show them doing these Occasionally. Most of the time, they just hang out in the lounge.I hated the treatment of Quinn and Stacy in this show. They are both weird girls that get treated badly. Sure Stacy is a chatterbox and talks too much but she doesn't deserve to be treated like crap. Quinn's characterization is just awful. They assume that every nerds are weird and such.Anyways, those are my two cents on the show. I enjoyed the show when I was around 13 since that was when the show first came out. I liked it but I did notice a lot of flaws in the show.
TheLittleSongbird Okay, I accept there are those who like this show, and I won't bash anyone for doing so. However, I don't like it, in fact I pretty much hate it.The sets are pretty and colourful at times, however I don't like the music, which I find annoying and forgettable. Then Zoey 101 has very lacklustre, unfunny and juvenile writing and predictable and unrealistic story lines and situations. The characters are not very likable and are rather clichéd, and I dislike the acting. In my opinion, Jamie Lynn Spears can't act if her life depended on it, and her co-stars are no better.In conclusion, this is a show I dislike and one of my least favourites on Nickelodean. 1/10 Bethany Cox
OffTheLeft This was another one of those shows that I watched to root out the positive elements, and because I've been a Nick fan for years. Some of those would be the stage sets, B-plots, guest stars, and a few of the main actors that were good. I dabbled in the show through high school as I quickly grew to despise Jamie Spears, along with the other chicks in the show that can't act. The only characters I seemed to like were Dustin, Quinn, Stacey, Michael & Logan. Quinn is a perfect outcast that eventually started to fit in; Stacey is a complete oddball; Dustin gets put through a bunch of strange, random situations; and Michael is kind of the comic relief right-hand man of Logan. There's a remarkable difference between the execution & acting quality of the B-plots that involve them, and the A-plots that showcased a bunch of screeching girls and an iconic "Miss Perfect," repeating bad lines and obsessing over guys. This show would have been great if the main plots contained the quality of the side plots, but the main plots just don't deliver anything. When it recently came back in reruns, and I tried to watch it again, I was more calloused towards the girls' abysmal acting and had to change the channel. However, I will give the previously listed characters credit because they did make the show more or less worth my time.
