The show has some content that goes to TV-PG Like Chase beating up the police and implied nudity like when Micheal was showering and the horse came in. Overall it's TV-Y7 Content

What Parents Need to Know
About Zoey 101
Parents need to know that this series is about kids let loose in a peer-dominated world, where privilege is a way of life. Tween viewers are going to love the California coastline, the sunny days, and easy life. Parents might cringe for the same reason.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether these kids are growing up too quickly in certain ways. They are expected to problem-solve like adults and even to work (sushi-delivery boys), on top of dealing with homework and normal hormonal challenges. Is this pure fantasy, or do kids in boarding school really have it this sweet?

Lives in FloridaI rate this title iffy for age 6 and give itGood Message, But some Iffy stuff
Lives inI rate this title on for age 2 and give iti guess! PLEASE READ!
ok i am alot youger than the people who are saying other stuff but i was hoping for atleast someone to say that Hannah Montana is worse and that zoey actually is quite a polite and mannered girl who loves her little brother which at least keeps the younger viewers think of how to treat their older siblings and of coarse there is kissing scenes and flirting but its more of lola (zoey's roommate) that does the flirting which means that the veiwers don't care that much about lola but always look up to the main character i am not a fan but i think you should watch Hannah Monatana before watchig this because then your mind will change and be thinking about writing a review about miley/hannah....also my school friends are all like how this program acts because when i go on msn there are things like " when is joe taking me to the prom" or "single" and that is definatley true! thanks and i hope i got you thinking!

I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!
I LOVED THIS SHOW BUT IT ONLY COMES ON ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. I USED TO WATCH THIS SHOW ALL THE TIME. I WATCH THE MOVIE. CHASE LIKED ZOEY. WHEN I SEEN THE MOVIE AND THE PART WHERE CHASE CAME BACK AND ZOEY DIDN'T GO TO THE PROM CAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE NO ONE TO GO TO THE PROM WITH AND CHASE AND ZOEY KISSED. I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO CUTE I KNEW BY THE END OF THE SHOW ZOEY AND CHASE WOULD END UP GETTING TOGETHER. BUT YEAH IT WAS A GOOD SHOW.

Sigh...
I absolutely despise shows about girls that would rather put on a bunch of makeup than have good grades. And just look at the SCREENSHOTS--all of that uppity rich gear that turns your sweet little baby into a spoiled brat! All in ONE ROOM! I do recall the pilot, in which there was a scene that a girl that originally didn't want to go around campus because of the shirt she was wearing (and she was the absolutely boy-obsessed character. Shock and awe). Well, if you didn't like the shirt, why did you wear it? I do so remember and treasure the days when shows told our generation that perfect didn't exist. But now, these kind of shows are making our children (and the people I have class with) spoiled beyond the rotting point!

Ugh...
This so focuses WAY too much on boys, kissing, and romance. There was one scene with Lola, Zoey's roomate, passionately kissing another boy while making "mmm" noises. Also, I think that the show shows too much kissing and romance. There are even scenes where characters ask one another if they want to go make out in the car and things like that. This show is just sending a bad message to little kids.
