Oh the shipping on the show was incredibly well done, no doubt about it. Just, when I got older, I thought that Zoey didn't really deseve Chase. I just remember the episode when Zoey and Chase were running for class president, and both of them didn't really want to be class president, and then Logan started pimping out Chase's campaign and Zoey flipped out on Chase (who didn't do anything). And when Chase won, he resigned and gave the position to Zoey so she would forgive him.

I guess I'm the only one who (now) has a problem with Zoey, but I did love Michael, Chase, and Lola. Nicole was cute, and I know the point of her character was that she was the ultimate, "girly-girl" obsessed with boys, so I can't necessarily complain about her being a complete caricature. But I do have to slightly disagree with the fact that the characters weren't caricatures. Michael, Chase, and Lola maybe weren't, but Zoey, Logan, Nicole, Quinn, etc., definitely were, at least partly. Zoey was the Mary Sue, as Dan has for all his shows (Carly for iCarly, Tori for Victorious); Logan was the selfish, vain, rich kid; I talked about Nicole; Quinn was probably the one who grew out of her caricature the most throughout the seasons, but the first season or two she was definitely a caricature of the nerdy girl that people didn't really like.

That doesn't mean I didn't like it. I definitely enjoyed the fact that there was great humor without the need of a laugh track. Zoey 101 was a really good show.
