Y'know, we love to rag on Dan for his handling of the ships and his shameless self-insertion into his shows, but we're forgetting about the one ship he did right: Choey.

Ah, Choey. Here was a ship that was perfectly paced and wonderfully executed from beginning to end. Sure, things deterred a little bit once James showed up. But, in fairness to Dan, he had to deal with Sean Flynn leaving unexpectedly and having to extend the series. It's true that Dan totally inserted himself in as Chase and that this was another love/hope, Creddie-like scenario, but this was so much easier to stomach and it was, for the most part, played seriously rather than for laughs.

I know that Zoey 101, as a show, was far from perfect. But considering the drastic changes it had to go through, I'm surprised it managed to stay so solid all the way through. It wasn't until the show was coming to a close that it was starting to lose some of its more matural, down-to-earth feel. Luckily, everything wrapped up before it could really go downhill.

And yes, I'm also a Josh/Mindy fan but this ship better fit the point I was trying to make. Actually, Jindy is a good example of Seddie done right and a bittersweet glimpse of what could have been if Dan had set his mind to do a love/hate pairing from the beginning. :P
