i have try to like this show and i really have and but i can not find a reason why anyone would like it . the story line be weak and the acting be weak and unbelievable . every cast member seem to have be pick up off the street at random . and it seem to me that the whole show be just a vehicle for jamie lynn spear to be able to move on to movie . every episode show zoey a the girl that every girl want to be her best friend and that every boy want to date . she always perfect and no one be like that in real life . how can people relate to a character that be just a barbie doll . jamie lynn acting be fair but she be not a strong enough actress to have the lead role in a series . all the show fan be just young girl who do not know any good . i be sorry if you think my comment be too harsh but if you can find a meaningful and deep moment in this series that isn not quickly direct to a beach party please accept my opinion and find something worthwhile to watch .
