Okay, I have to agree with Starlit when she told me that Zoey 101 was a Lizzie McGuire knock-off...because it is. I catched an episode last night and let me tell ya... First off, where does Zoey 101 think they can get off stealing Lizzie McGuire characters! You've got the ordinary yet extraordinary girl around whom the show revolves, the quirky guy best friend who ultimately wants to get with her, the boy-crazy wild child girl best friend who is always there for moral support, the annoying little brother who can't keep himself out of trouble, the mandatory geeky kid, and a slue of others who look like they were plucked out of the LM writers' character reject bucket. Now I don't mean to give this show such a scathing review..but ya know what..it deserves one. It just gets on my nerves! I don't have anything against Jamie Lynn personally (except the fact that she sings the theme song...do we really need another mini-Britney?). What I'm most angry about is Sean Flynn Amir's character Chase. Can someone say Gordo rip-off? Not only is the basic character idea stolen, but the execution is all wrong, and quite frankly Sean Flynn looks more like a mini-Dustin Diamond who seems rather out of place in Zoey's world, than an actually cute believable boy bud (originally portrayed by the wonderfully wonderful Mr. Adam Lamberg). Now I have no problem with Lizzie and Gordo becoming an item. But I caught an episode of Zoey 101 yesterday...and Zoey and Chase were about as awkward together as mayonnaise and peanut butter..don't ask me who is which, but seriously..would you eat anything containing that combination?? ...No. So why should you watch it? Zoey and Chase that is..not the mayonnaise and peanut butter... *coughs* In conclusion, Zoey 101 should be burned for trying to emmulate Lizzie's style. 'That's So Raven' has already covered that, but has kinda gotten away with it because Eddie has cornrows instead of a fro. I mean come on, what's next? Is Zoey going to start having a little cartoon alter-ego who pops up at opportune moments to make jokes and whatnot?? Are we gonna be subjected to Zoey and Chase kissing on a hotel balcony in Paris or something? Ew.
