Zoey 101 was an American live-action situation comedy television series starring Jamie Lynn Spears. The series was originally run as a TEENick show on Nickelodeon, beginning on January 9, 2005.

The show was initially filmed at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, then at stages in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California beginning Season 3. It was nominated for an "Outstanding Children's Program" Emmy in 2005. The theme song "Follow Me" was co-written by Britney Spears and songwriter Emily Bob and sung by Jamie Lynn Spears.

The future of the show came in question after Jamie Lynn Spears announced her pregnancy at the age of 16,^[1] but Nickelodeon continued to air the series with its fourth and final season, which began on January 27, 2008 and ended on May 2, 2008.

[edit] Synopsis

[edit] Season 1

In the pilot episode, we meet the main characters of the show. The episode opens with Zoey Brooks (Jamie Lynn Spears), her little brother Dustin Brooks (Paul Butcher), and their father driving them to boarding school. When Zoey arrives at PCA, she meets Chase Matthews (Sean Flynn). Chase develops a crush on Zoey when he first sees her, causing him to crash his bike into a pole, and graze his arm. He offers to show her to her dormitory room, #101 (hence the show title, Zoey 101). Soon after she arrives at her dorm, she meets her new roommates and soon to be best friends, Nicole Bristow (Alexa Nikolas) and Dana Cruz (Kristin Herrera). Dana and Nicole fight constantly. Quinn Pensky (Erin Sanders), another character on the show, is a weird but an extremely intelligent girl. Soon afterward, Zoey comes across the boys' basketball team and, when she hears the coach talking about tryouts later that week, she tells him she is going to try out. After that, she says to the boys that she wants to try out. Then a boy named Logan Reese (Matthew Underwood) claims that girls cannot play basketball as well as boys. Angered, Zoey challenges them to a boys vs. girls game. In addition, Chase's best friend, Michael Barret (Christopher Massey), is introduced.

[edit] Season 2

It is a new year at PCA, and Dana has left for the European Exchange Program. Zoey and Nicole are assigned a new roommate, Lola Martinez (Victoria Justice). At the beginning of the season, both Zoey and Chase run for Class President (against their will). Chase and Michael get their own online show. The sushi restaurant burns down after an accident. This is the season in which the first-ever Zoey 101 movie takes place, "Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up" and the only movie that Nicole appears in. Quinn's alpaca, Otis, also comes to visit PCA at the end of season 2.

[edit] Season 3

Zoey, Chase, Lola, Michael, Quinn, Logan, and Dustin return to PCA. Zoey and her friends are 15, and Dustin is 11-12. Nicole has been enrolled in an all-girls' school after being diagnosed with Obsessive Male Gender Disorder (OMGD). This causes Quinn to become roommates with Zoey and Lola, after she's accidentally assigned to a room that doesn't exist by Coco, the girls' dorm adviser. Everyone "grows up" in this and the next season, looking older and having more mature personalities. At the end of the season, in the "Goodbye, Zoey?" TV movie, Zoey transfers to a boarding school in England. Due to a webcam malfunction, she finds out that Chase is in love with her and realizes that she loves him too. This season also features a new main cast. Originally, "Goodbye, Zoey?" could have been the series finale, as the series had not yet been renewed for a fourth season, and thus an alternate ending that wrapped all story lines up was filmed. But the show was renewed, and the open ending was the one used.

[edit] Season 4

Hearing how Chase feels about her, Zoey returns to PCA, but knowing he loves Zoey, Chase convinces his parents to transfer him to the London boarding school Zoey attends, only to discover that she has transferred back to PCA to be with him. Chase must remain in England for one semester before returning to PCA, as part of the agreement with his parents that allowed him to transfer. Chase and Zoey finally admit their love for each other. However, they decide to postpone their relationship until Chase's return, due to the difficulties of a long-distance relationship. Logan and Michael get a new roommate, James Garrett (Austin Butler), who dates Zoey nearly through the season. Lola and Vince Blake who returns to PCA as a better person, become a couple. Logan and Quinn also become a couple, after Mark Del Figgalo breaks up with Quinn, but at first, Quinn and Logan keep their relationship a secret, believing that they wouldn't be able to handle the teasing if anyone should find out. They secretly date until the hour-long series finale, "Chasing Zoey", where in they publicly admit their love at the PCA Prom. Stacey (Logan's date, as selected by Quinn to keep their relationship a secret) gets hit by the car that Mark and Michael are driving, and loses her lisp as a result. Also in this episode, James tells Zoey he loves her, and unable to return his feelings, she breaks up with James, and Chase returns to PCA, at which time Zoey kisses him passionately and they end up together.
