'''''Zoey 101''''' was an [[Emmy Award]]-nominated [[United States|American]] [[live-action]] [[situation comedy]] [[Television series]] that had an original run as a [[TEENick]] show on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] from January 9, 2005 to May 2, 2008. The show still currently airs on [[TEENick]] on Sundays at 8pm EST and Weekdays at 7:30pm EST (check local listings for time). It also airs on [[The N]] at 6:00 PM EST and 10:00 PM EST on Weekdays. Airing at different times on Weekends.
Robert Besley (1794-1876) was the creator of [[clarendon (typeface)]] in 1845 and the [[Lord Mayor of London]] in 1869.


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 Award|Emmy]] in 2005. The theme song "Follow Me" was co-written by songwriter Emily Bob and [[Britney Spears]] and sung by [[Jamie Lynn Spears]].
==Career==


The future of the show came in question after Spears announced she was pregnant,<ref name=news24> {{citeweb|url=http://www.news24.com/News24/Entertainment/Abroad/0,,2-1225-1243_2246073,00.html|title=Jamie Lynn's show 'axed'|date=2008-01-03|publisher=News24.com|accessdate=2008-01-04}}</ref> 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.
Besley joined the Fann Street Foundry in 1838.<br />
The Fann Street Foundry was also home of typographer William Thorowgood, creator of [[Grotesque (typeface)]].<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=FiJ87ixLs0sC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_summary_r&cad=0</ref><sup>1</sup><br />
When Besley created [[clarendon (typeface)]] he had it patented, as England just passed a bill allowing that. The typeface became so popular, though, that the copyright was soon broken by people creating knock-offs. Still known as the first Registered typeface.

==Setting==
[[Image:Clarendon_font.svg|280px]] <br /><br />
''Zoey 101'' is set in the fictional [[boarding school]] known as Pacific Coast Academy, or often abbreviated as PCA. The campus of PCA overlooks the [[Pacific Ocean]]. Formerly an all-boys' school, the series opens as girls are admitted to the newly [[co-educational]] institution, which features a [[high school]] program and another program which seems to be mixed between the [[middle school]] and late [[elementary school]] years, though the show never mentions which grade PCA's curriculum starts at. In the first season, the character Dustin Brooks is in 4th grade and has already been attending PCA for at least a few years, but as the program focuses on pre-teenagers, there are no younger students seen in the series. The campus is laid out in the manner of an open [[college campus]], offering students more freedom than a traditional school program. The students have their own laptops and cellular phones. The campus features a privately owned sushi bar called Sushi Rox, which is frequently patronized by the students, some of whom work there. The campus also has student lounges for both girls and boys.

==Synopsis==
He then went on to become the Lord Mayor of London in 1869.<br />
===Season 1===
A Political cartoon of him and fellow members of the [[Corporation of London]], [http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/collage/app?service=external/FullScreenImage&sp=I18%3ABesley%2C+Robert++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++%3A%3AB&sp=18424&sp=X&sp=2 Here].<br />
He died in 1876.


In the [[television pilot|pilot episode]], we meet the main characters of the show. The episode opens with Zoey ([[Jamie Lynn Spears]] who was recently on [[All That]]), her brother Dustin Brooks ([[Paul Butcher]]) and their father driving them to boarding school. When Zoey arrives at PCA, she meets Chase ([[Sean Flynn-Amir|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 roommate and soon to be best friend, Nicole Bristow ([[Alexa Nikolas]]), who is screaming at the sight of a male toilet. When they walk back to their room, they meet their other roommate, 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===
<sup>1</sup> Alexander Lawson's [http://books.google.com/books?id=FiJ87ixLs0sC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_summary_r&cad=0 Anatomy of a Typeface] on Google Books.
It is a new year at PCA, and Dana has left for the European Exchange Program, so Zoey and Nicole get a new roommate, Lola Martinez ([[Victoria Justice]]). At the beginning of the season, both Zoey and Chase run for Class President (against their will). [[Jennette McCurdy]] makes a special appearance as Dustin's girlfriend, Trisha Kirby. 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.


===Season 3===
<sup>2</sup> Article on Popperfont.com, Fontlove section, by David Ng. Citing a thesis essay from Mitja Miklavcic, 2006. [http://popperfont.com/2008/06/27/fontlove-clarendon/ Can be found here].<br />
Zoey, Chase, Lola, Michael, Quinn, Logan, and Dustin return to PCA. Zoey and her friends are fifteen, and Dustin is 11-12. Nicole was sent to 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 was accidentally assigned to a room that did not exist on PCA campus by the girl's dorm adviser, Coco. Everyone "grows up" in this and the next season, looking older and having more mature personalities. At the end of this season, in the "Goodbye Zoey" TV movie, Zoey moves to a boarding school in England. Due to a webcam malfunction, she finds out that Chase loves 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.{{Fact|date=July 2008}}

===Season 4===
Zoey, hearing how Chase feels about her, returns to PCA, but Chase, knowing he loves Zoey, convinces his parents to transfer him to the London boarding school Zoey goes to, only to find out 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 he made with his parents to allow him to transfer. Chase and Zoey finally admit their love for each other. However, they decide to put their relationship on hold until Chase comes back, due to the logistical difficulties of a long distance relationship.

Logan and Michael get a new roommate, James Garrett ([[Austin Butler]]). James and Zoey become a couple, which lasts almost completely 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 her but, at first, Quinn and Logan keep it a secret, thinking they would not be able to handle the teasing if anyone should find out. They secretly date until the hour-long series finale, "Chasing Zoey," in which they admit their love for each other 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 in, and loses her lisp as a result. Also in this episode, Zoey breaks up with James, and Chase returns to PCA, at which time Zoey kisses him passionately, and they finally become a couple.

Zoey 101 was an Emmy Award-nominated American live-action situation comedy Television series that had an original run as a TEENick show on Nickelodeon from January 9, 2005 to May 2, 2008. The show still currently airs on TEENick on Sundays at 8pm EST and Weekdays at 7:30pm EST (check local listings for time). It also airs on The N at 6:00 PM EST and 10:00 PM EST on Weekdays.

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 songwriter Emily Bob and Britney Spears and sung by Jamie Lynn Spears.

The future of the show came in question after Spears announced she was pregnant,[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.

Setting

Zoey 101 is set in the fictional boarding school known as Pacific Coast Academy, or often abbreviated as PCA. The campus of PCA overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Formerly an all-boys' school, the series opens as girls are admitted to the newly co-educational institution, which features a high school program and another program which seems to be mixed between the middle school and late elementary school years, though the show never mentions which grade PCA's curriculum starts at. In the first season, the character Dustin Brooks is in 4th grade and has already been attending PCA for at least a few years, but as the program focuses on pre-teenagers, there are no younger students seen in the series. The campus is laid out in the manner of an open college campus, offering students more freedom than a traditional school program. The students have their own laptops and cellular phones. The campus features a privately owned sushi bar called Sushi Rox, which is frequently patronized by the students, some of whom work there. The campus also has student lounges for both girls and boys.

Season 1

In the pilot episode, we meet the main characters of the show. The episode opens with Zoey (Jamie Lynn Spears who was recently on All That), her brother Dustin Brooks (Paul Butcher) and their father driving them to boarding school. When Zoey arrives at PCA, she meets Chase (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 roommate and soon to be best friend, Nicole Bristow (Alexa Nikolas), who is screaming at the sight of a male toilet. When they walk back to their room, they meet their other roommate, 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, so Zoey and Nicole get a new roommate, Lola Martinez (Victoria Justice). At the beginning of the season, both Zoey and Chase run for Class President (against their will). Jennette McCurdy makes a special appearance as Dustin's girlfriend, Trisha Kirby. 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.

Season 3

Zoey, Chase, Lola, Michael, Quinn, Logan, and Dustin return to PCA. Zoey and her friends are fifteen, and Dustin is 11-12. Nicole was sent to 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 was accidentally assigned to a room that did not exist on PCA campus by the girl's dorm adviser, Coco. Everyone "grows up" in this and the next season, looking older and having more mature personalities. At the end of this season, in the "Goodbye Zoey" TV movie, Zoey moves to a boarding school in England. Due to a webcam malfunction, she finds out that Chase loves 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.[citation needed]

Season 4

Zoey, hearing how Chase feels about her, returns to PCA, but Chase, knowing he loves Zoey, convinces his parents to transfer him to the London boarding school Zoey goes to, only to find out 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 he made with his parents to allow him to transfer. Chase and Zoey finally admit their love for each other. However, they decide to put their relationship on hold until Chase comes back, due to the logistical difficulties of a long distance relationship.

Logan and Michael get a new roommate, James Garrett (Austin Butler). James and Zoey become a couple, which lasts almost completely 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 her but, at first, Quinn and Logan keep it a secret, thinking they would not be able to handle the teasing if anyone should find out. They secretly date until the hour-long series finale, "Chasing Zoey," in which they admit their love for each other 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 in, and loses her lisp as a result. Also in this episode, Zoey breaks up with James, and Chase returns to PCA, at which time Zoey kisses him passionately, and they finally become a couple.
