Do you think Nickelodeon should pull "Zoey 101" off the air now that Jamie Lynn Spears is expecting?

    They should definitely pull this show. Jamie Lynn Spears should no longer be viewed as a role model. Little girls are impressionable, and do not need to think that getting pregnant at 16 is okay.

    If Jamie Lynn Spears is a role-model for your child, and Nickelodeon is the example setter in your household, you have bigger problems than Zoey being 16 and pregnant! IMO anyway. I have not stopped my 9 year old daughter from watching Zoey 101, because she is entertained by the show, and doesn't care who Jamie Lynn Spears is. It as been a while since I had Sex-Ed, but I am pretty sure you can't get pregnant from watching TV. Hopefully my daughter's role-models are real people in her life that are worthy of that title. She knows the difference in right and wrong and has learned it from me, her Dad, our family, and her teachers not Jamie Lynn Spears. TV should not be teaching our children life lessons, we should. The day that Nickelodeon becomes a big enough influence in my daughter's life to cause her to choose to have unprotected sex at such an early age, is the day that CPS needs to be called because I have failed her miserably as a Mother! I am not saying that Nickelodeon still airing the show is right or wrong, I am just saying that as parents we need to take the "role-model" status back from all the Jamie Lynn's, Britney's, and Lyndsey's of the world! After all, these people only become influences if we let them. Just my opinion anyway.

    Yes, I think they should. A large amount of preteens watch that show and hold Jamie Lynn as a role-model. If they see her pregnant then messages could be sent out that being Pregnant is okay and cool for a young girl to be.

    But, of course, Jamie Lynn doesn't see this as a bad thing and is tryign to promote it into the show.

  • Zoey 101 is a decent show =)

    But it would be best to now show it anymore.

    Yes, I like JL but it is setting a bad example!

    I dont think that any show should revolve around just one person. I have never really watched the show. Is it possible to recast the part?

    yes because if they don't its going to have a bad influence on all the kids that watch the show.

    I don't think they should cuz there are many kids who like her show and it wouldn't be fair for them
