Is Zoey 101 All Done?

It seems that the controvertial media blitz regarding 16 year old Jamie-Lynn Spears, younger sister of nut-job Britney, has sparked a bit of a fire under the butts of many would-be bloggers who could easily be writing about more important topics than the current antics of the Spears family.

The story of Jamie-Lynn’s unplanned pregnancy was “leaked” to the media…by her mother…for the bargain price of $1 million.

Jamie-Lynn appears on the hit Nickelodeon television series, “Zoey 101″, as the lead character who is a bit to perfect, sweet and goodie-goodie for me. The show has very little humor and isn’t something that I watch with my daughter. I actually leave the roon completely.

The last episode was actually a “Zoey 101 movie” in which our lead character’s parents move to England or some other country far away, leaving Zoey to make up her mind as to whether she wants to accompany them on their move to Europe or stay at PCA- a boarding school on the California coast.

My 12-year-old daughter watched said movie and later informed me that Zoey did in fact go to London (or wherever) and stay with her parents abroad. She also told me that Zoey looked “chubby”, as any pregnant female would. This means that the pregnancy was well hidden from the media, that is, until the mom decided that she needed to cash in.

In my opinion, Nickelodeon did the right thing- just leaving it alone. My guess was that there were several intended endings to this movie, and Nickelodeon waited to see how the story played out in the media before making the final edits. If the world didn’t care, maybe Zoey would have stayed in the US. Maybe the movie left the show with the possibility of making a return after the baby is born- I mean, it’s not like there was a helicopter that was shot down over Japan and all passengers, including Zoey, perished in the disaster. Who knows, for such stories can be held under wraps if they really want to be…without the unconditional love of a mother selling out her daughters.
