Zoey 101 is an American live-action, drama and situation comedy television series starring Jamie Lynn Spears. The series originally ran 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 series aired its final episode in 2008, and was shown in reruns on Nickelodeon and TeenNick until 2009. Then the reruns resumed on TeenNick in May 31, 2010.

Synopsis

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.

Season 2

It is a new year at PCA, and Dana has left for the European Exchange Program (in actuality, Nickelodeon thought she looked too old). 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 film takes place, "Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up" and the only film that Nicole appears in. Quinn's alpaca, Otis, also comes to visit PCA at the end of season 2.

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 (in reality, she and Spears fought numerous times off the screen). This causes Quinn to become roommates with Zoey and Lola (who don't really want to live with Quinn), after she's accidentally assigned to a room that doesn't exist by Coco, the girls' dorm adviser. Everyone becomes more mature in this and the next season, looking older and having more adult-like personalities. At the end of the season, in the "Goodbye, Zoey?" TV film, 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.

Season 4

Zoey returns to PCA, but Chase has recently transferred to Covington to be with her. Chase must stay in England for at least one semester. Michael and Logan get a new roommate, James who later becomes Zoey's boyfriend. Quinn and Mark's relationship becomes rocky, and Quinn secretly begins dating Logan, with the two still trying to convince everyone they still hate each other. The school bully, Vince Blake returns as a better person and begins a romantic relationship with Lola. In the TV Movie Zoey 101: Chasing Zoey, the prom approaches, and Zoey questions her feelings for James. Meanwhile, Michael learns how to drive a stickshift with the assistance of a mysterious man, Mr. Takato who claims to be a lower school math teacher. Quinn and Logan try to pick dates for each other to keep their relationship a secret. This is the series finale of Zoey 101, but one more episode, titled "PCA Confidential" was aired, where Zoey, Chase and Stacey answer questions for students thinking of attending PCA, while Coco supervises, though this episode was produced during Season 3 and was meant to be an episode of that season.
