I know it gets a lot of hate, and I can see why people don’t think it lives up to Zoey 101. It’s definitely not perfect, and there are some cheesy moments ofc but I genuinely enjoy it and always watch it after I finish watching Zoey 101 in its entirety.

One of the things I actually really liked was seeing Zoey more humanized. In Zoey 101, she’s kind of presented as this girl who is pretty, popular, smart, confident, and somehow everything always works out for her. I liked her character then but I thought it was fun seeing her get humbled a little in Zoey 102.
Like Archer telling her, “It’s really gross how much you talk about high school,” or her boss (Thomas Lennon?! Hello!) literally yelling at her from about one inch away from her face. It was fun seeing adult Zoey realize that the world doesn’t necessarily revolve around her anymore and high school popularity doesn’t automatically carry you through adulthood.

I also loved all the little details they gave the other characters.
Mark and Stacey still being together and having a murder podcast was fun to me because there are so many people who do that now. And I loved that they didn’t completely forget Stacey’s speech impediment from the original. They established that she’s still gotten rid of it, but then had her using a ridiculous amount of S-words while recording the podcast.

Quinn being a successful inventor made perfect sense to me, and I loved seeing how much Logan had mellowed out. He’s basically just completely obsessed with his woman now, which I thought was adorable considering how Logan used to be.

I also liked Chase being a school teacher. He does seem like the kind of person who would have a different handshake for every student.

And I liked getting to hear about Michael’s success as a music producer too. It felt nice seeing that these characters actually went on to have lives and careers instead of everything revolving around PCA like it did on the show.

The Dean Rivers reference also caught me completely off guard. The fact that they casually brought up him embezzling everyone’s tuition made me laugh, esp when Mark follows it up with “But those student loans are real 🤪”.

Logan randomly having a sister was probably one of the more questionable additions, although considering Mr. Reese has apparently been married a million times, it makes sense he’d wind up with a step sibling at some point.

Also Lola being MIA was disappointing! I would’ve liked seeing what she’s up to or at least referencing that she couldn’t come bc she was filming a movie etc etc.

But I think people sometimes expect sequels like this to recreate the exact feeling of the original, and I don’t think that’s really possible. Zoey 101 was a product of the 2000s, and we were also watching it as kids. We’re older, the actors are older, and the world is different. Of course Zoey 102 isn’t going to feel 100% the same.

Personally I didn’t need it to be exactly the same. I enjoyed getting to see the characters again, seeing where their lives ended up, and catching all the little references to the original show.
I genuinely had fun watching it.

This may be a dumb question, but I’m not going to risk my car being impounded.

I’m working on paying my tolls to NTTA and I got the notice where if I take a tollway, they’ll tow my car.

There’s a route I can take TO the airport that avoids tolls, but I know there’s a toll at the airport. Is this the same as the NTTA toll?

Like if I avoid to the tolls on the drive there but then pay the airport toll, are they gonna impound my car?

I am a house cleaner and new to it.

I have a client I clean for and there is ALWAYS so much dust each time I come and it resettles SO quickly even while I’m there cleaning. They have air purifiers but what can they do or what can I do to help both of us out and keep the dust more at bay?

It just seems like such an unusual amount of dust to have each and every time I go.

I’m going to the dallas one tomorrow and I have lawn seats. It’s just me. Can I bring a blanket? Can I bring my own water? Are there purse limits?

And most important, will I be allowed to get in if I come at 9pm? I really don’t feel like standing in the heat for two artists I don’t care about.

Are you a bigger fan of season 1 or 2?

Season 1 has some classics but I prefer season 2, personally.

Sorry if it’s been posted a hundred times in here. I looked before posting.

I take a shower each morning and each night. I’m a house cleaner and I take hygiene seriously. It’s summer time now and some clients’ homes are super warm and then I’m sweating my butt off cleaning in general. Lately when I get out of the shower after work for the night, I still…feel…like I have a sweat on me?? I don’t know if it’s a mind thing but I’d like a good recommendation for a soap that has a clean smell vs smelling like a candle or a cupcake and makes my skin feel like it’s been washed.

I can never find cute and whimsical king sized bed sheets. There’s so many adorable colors and patterns up until king size.

I want to find a lake that isn’t disgusting to swim in / a beach to lay out on.

I recently moved to Texas and have been living in this apartment for about 7 months. The building is only around 5 years old, and I haven’t had any issues with the AC until now.

I keep my apartment fairly cold because I have trouble sleeping when it’s warm. For the entire time I’ve lived here, my AC has had no problem maintaining 64°F, even during similar outdoor temperatures. However, today and yesterday, the indoor temperature has been slowly climbing throughout the day. My thermostat is set to 64°F, but it’s currently reading 70°F and it got to 73° at one point then eventually went back down, even though it’s only about 80°F outside. (I know 73° is standard for a lot of people but for me it’s too warm).

I understand that AC systems can struggle during extreme heat, but this seems unusual given that the system was maintaining 64°F just fine recently under similar conditions.

I’ve also noticed moisture/water around the edges of some of the ceiling vents. We have already checked and replaced/cleaned the air filter. Cool air is still coming out of the vents.

Is it worth having someone come look at it or will they just tell me “sorry, but it’s summer”. I’m no maintenance expert, but if I set the temperature to a specific number, shouldn’t it stay there?

Thank you for reading.

I was instantly captivated when I saw Coraline in theaters. I’ve loved it since its premiere.

Anyway. Just wanted to say that this movie genuinely provides me so much comfort. I love all the details, the rain, the colors.

It’s truly a masterpiece and I need to watch it this weekend.

I’m currently binging the show so that’s why I’m posting more regularly in this sub. :)

Personally, I’d pick Joey’s room in the earlier seasons (the basement, post renovation). I like the colors and that it’s private and close to the kitchen.

I also love the bedroom DJ and Stephanie share and love it more after Vicky’s mom redesigns it.

If you were a kid in the Tanner household, who do you think you would’ve been closer to, Jesse or Joey?

What is your favorite season? Mine is season 2.
