Considering both appear in most of season 4 (Mark only absent in Anger Management, Coffee Cart Ban, Dinner for Too Many, and Roller Coaster, and Stacey only absent in Quinn Misses the Mark) and certainly more than Dustin that season (who was only in 3 episodes yet still in the opening credits), should Stacey and Mark have been promoted to the intro in season 4?

It is also during this season (as well as some of the later season 3 episodes) where the end credits include scenes of Stacey and Mark too in most episodes (which was initially for main cast members with Zoey and Chase getting two clips most of the time). Granted that might've been to compensate for Chase being gone for most of season 4 and Dustin barely appearing making it so they initially had only 5 main regular cast members at the start of the season (joined by James four episodes in) and having to fill the end credit clips out more (notably, most episodes have Lola and Quinn get two clips in the end credits, some with Michael and James getting two clips, and even Logan got two clips for Vince is Back's end credits, plus Coco, Lisa, and Vince getting end credit clips at least once that season). And episodes like Fake Roommate, Alone at PCA, and the start of Rumor of Love showing Mark hanging out with the main group in even-ing the guy/girl ratio in the time period after Chase left and before James joined.

Do you all think Stacey and Mark should've been promoted to main credits in season 4 with how they're in most of the season?

And whether a fifth season without Jamie—and with a new actress playing Zoey better—might actually be better received by all the viewers.

I know over the years, we've brought up the romance, behind the scenes drama, mean spirited moments, and more, but one thing I'd like to spotlight on are the wholesome moments on the show.

What would you all say are the most wholesome moments on the show? It can be more than one, I encourage it.

Looking back at Nicole's time on the show in the first two seasons, anyone wish she had gotten more interactions with the group that don't involve Zoey?

I know her departure after season 2 definitely impacted things, but even in the first two seasons they didn't do much with her relationship with the group outside Zoey.

At best, her and Dana's friendship is focused on in New Roomies and Jet-X, but those still have Zoey around as an intermediary. She also got a subplot with Quinn in Time Capsule with helping her with her snoring problem and Broadcast Views giving another subplot where Lola and Quinn are paired with her to hypnotize her to help with her boy crazy behavior interfering with her grades but that's about it. And she also didn't get any storylines or moments on her interacting with Chase, Michael, or Logan at all.

Anyone wish Nicole had gotten more of her friendships with the main group explored outside of Zoey?
