My favorite of Dan's shows. I don't think it's the funniest (D&J is imo) but it's just well put together over all. The series ran a good trajectory showing the gang growing up and going through life, and the finale actually put everything together and gave closure. It's also relatable, definitely agree that these characters, although sometimes a bit exaggerated, are far more realistic and not just some obvious character caricature/trope. Even Nicole who's pretty ridiculous was great and I loved her.

I'm way more drawn to these characters and relationships in Zoey 101 because they had good realistic interactions whereas a lot of the other shows sometimes I forget why the characters are friends with each other given how drastically different they are and how shallow the dialogue can be. Plus the characters struggled with love and friendship and loss of family members and school and other issues that people can actually relate to. Also they handled the rotating cast really well, definitely seemed like the writers had actually planned their plots :O

My main complaint would be them keeping the good luck with some people like Zoey and always making others the butt of jokes like Stacey Dillsen and Mark Del Figgalo and sometimes Chase. Although this isn't a problem for Zoey 101 only obviously. Dan did the same in all his shows which is why people hate on Carly/Tori/Zoey. It's unrealistic to me no matter how much some kids may be bullied or unfortunate.
