This is an awesome show for tweens and teens, and I think I've seen every episode, especially because it seems it's on in the after-school time slot, which is when I usually tend to turn on the tube. It's pretty realistic, but no one seems to have to work to have an amazing room, clothes, or generally stuff, and characters like Nicole (In earlier episodes) and Logan make things funnier. If you're going to watch online, or buy on DVD, I'd definetly reccomend the first couple of seasons, it seems they're less romance and love triangles, and more girls power and funny stuff!
Personally i love the show and think it is great! Only they stopped making more episodes so you have to watch the same ones over and over again which gets kind of boring. Other then that i Love the show!
Funny, enjoyable, and original but I have a problem with how the show treats "nerds", "weirdos", and people with disabilities. It seems to me that all nick shows do this. There's always one or more girls who the "nerds" like and they're so desperate too. The girls always shut them down and go on to their amazing lives.
This show does sometimes revolve around relationships, and there's a lot of kissing. Also, the kids are pretty spoiled and sometimes their world is a little unrealistics.
However, I think it provides many positive messages to balance out the bad ones, such as sexism being wrong. The two main characters, Zoey and Chase, are good role models, being bright and very good problem solvers. The others are a little iffy, though. Some characters to look out for are Quinn, who's very smart but sometimes goes a little far with her "experiments", Logan, who's very shallow and mean, and Nicole, who's flirtatious to the point where it's rediculas. However, the show makes it obvious that all three of these characters' habits aren't normal, so I wouldn't worry about it.
I rated this on for ages 10+, mostly because anyone younger will probably get bored from all the teenage drama.
It was one of my favorite shows, it was funny and the set was beautiful. Zoey was a good role model, good grades, nice to her friends and brother, she never got too bad at all! Quin wasn't afraid to be herself, she loves science, though people judge her for being really weird. The boys are pretty tame, kinda into 'chicks' but respectful and not too over board. Although Logan is really into himself (for comedy) There was one girl who was obsessed with boys, and her friends always thought she had something wrong (she didnt' go over-board) and in the second or third season she couldn't come to PCA anymore because she had some disorder that got her obsessed with males (weird, but true) It never over did anything, the friends fought, but not anything serious. Chase has a crush on Zoey (they date in the very end) but I'm glad their relationship didn't start in the middle of the show because that junk irritates me. The only thing that bugs me is that they say "oh my God!" all the time, they shouldn't do that, and it sometimes shows people kissing. Otherwise its pretty tame for your kids to see.
yes, yes, okay, jamie lynn spears got pregnant. WHOA!!!! but let me ask you this: why are we talking about some flimsy star doing something wrong when we are supposed to be reviewing the show??? i personally think that zoey 101 is pretty funny, certainly one of the better nick shows. i liked the first few seasons, but then i admit it got a bit boring. nicole and dana were the best characters, and quinn falling in love with logan? that's just wrong. should've had a better ending. good try, nick.
Used to be fine. Now Jamie lynn is pregnant so it's awkward
Used to be a good show until she got knocked up at 16. Making-out is brief. Nothin too bad in this. But now jamie, as quoted by several people, has "shattered the innocence" of little kids who watch this. Good for 10+. Just a LOT of dating. It's barely funny either. More of a tween-drama than a comedy.
This show is so unrealistic, it's not even funny. Let's start out with the fact that it's a BOY and GIRL boarding school. If this wasn't rated Y7/G, and it was rated TV14+, they'd be having s*x constantly. How this made through, I don't know. The acting is terrible and monotonous, the situations are completely unrealistic and even predictable. Each episode seems to get more boring than the previous. It's... it's just not funny. The characters are spazzes. Watching the show, it takes all I have to keep from throwing me T.V across the room in pure fury. Horrible show. But hey, seven year olds might like it. It still comes on TeenNick.... but I wouldn't advice 7-10 year olds to go on TeenNick.
I thought that this was a\ mystry drama but it turned out to be the most terrible thing ive ever seen.honestly youd thing the script was wriiten by pigs and all the chracters are snobs and brats
I love this show! However, that being said, I think "Oh, my God" is used way too much. Zoey Brooks is seen saying it on almost every episode. I also think there is a lot of kissing, and some episodes revolve around relationships. Sometimes the show involves revenge and the girls (or guys) getting back at each other, which I don't think is an appropriate message for kids under 10 probably. As the site said, the kids seem to be very privelaged and rarely are seen learning at school, and always seem to have a large amount of free time to goof off.
I used to watch it when I was younger, but now I now that it was really bad. It's lame and sexist. Of course, Zoey is just so perfect and good at everything. In reality, she is just a snotty brat. This time, Shneider fails.
Probably the most forgettable of all the Nick shows, really.
It's really surprising that the same creator of hilarious shows and movies like Good Burger and Drake & Josh made this. Zoey 101 is very boring and drab. The only character on this show I actually ever thought to be funny was the girl with the lisp, who is a very minor character anyway. It's quite unrealistic-- they go to a fancy boarding school where they are free to do pretty much anything they want, which isn't really something a lot of teens can relate to-- and just a smidge stupid. I don't think Zoey 101 was very inappropriate exactly, but I remember that when it was on my dad usually wouldn't let us watch it (and that was even before the whole scandal about Jamie Lynn Spears and everything).
I don't believe this show is no longer acceptable to tweens. Jaime Lynn Spears is pregnant and yet nobody seems to give a hoot or a holler about how many tweens look up to her. Her personal life is really souring the show. I think Jaime Lynn being pregnant sends a bad message to tweens still trying to figure out puberty and social situations.
Kids get to live a dream, away from parents in a vacation at school. Although not really intended to educate, many positive role models in the main cast.. (discluding self absorbed, pampered, sexist main character Logan, even though he is clearly portrayed as wrong in his ways,) No violence, some kissing among teens, and calling teens hot, boys admiring girl's cheerleader outfits on the television, One main character is in love with the lead character and doesn't tell her towards the end of the series where she finds out on accident.. One character lies to her roommates in her first appearance, practicing for her dream and goal: becoming an actress. no bad language, no product placement, and no drinking..
What is all of this talk about it being unrealistic? Do people go 2 boarding school in real life? Yes. And about the kids being rich stuck-up jerks? Only Logan. And about commercialism? It is a television show. Of corse the people in the show are going to own something. None of the brands are brands in real life except for the Apple computers. And about your kids wanting the stuff in this show? Kids are going to want that stuff anyway, and they are going to see it in any show or movie that they can possibly watch. Sexual content? Only flirting and kissing. Kids are going to see that anywhere, too. This is a great show. It is funny, cute, sweet, and fun all in one pacage! I recomend this show to anyone ages 7 and up!
