So much potential wasted



This show started out really funny like a teenage version of Seinfeld with everything revolving around Zoe but the other main characters had seperate storylines.

The second season was rubbish. why did they change everything and make them older? No wonder it got cancelled.

I thought this show was a hell of a lot funnier than Friends.

I think almost everything is a hell of a lot funnier than Friends. That show is *so* overrated.

I never saw what the big deal was. If an episode of Friends can make me laugh twice in an episode, then it's exceptionally funny.

Zoe, Duncan, Jack And Jane is a sitcom that tried to be a teen version of Seinfeld but didn't quite pull it off. Seinfeld was co-created by Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and comedian Jerry Seinfeld and debuted on NBC in 1989. Seinfeld played a fictionalized version of himself and the "show about nothing" followed him and his strange group of friends. The series would be acclaimed for its comedy writing and performances and is considered one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

The late 1990s were defined by several shows, including Friends, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek. The latter two were both produced by The WB and featured hip, cool teenage characters spouting quotable dialogue. The network tried to reach this youth demographic once again with sitcom Zoe, Duncan, Jack And Jane, which followed four high school friends in New York. The show began life as Zoe Bean but was later retitled to emphasize the ensemble cast - with character traits that were pretty close to Seinfeld.

The first season of Zoe, Duncan, Jack And Jane followed the titular friends, with Zoe (Selma Blair, Hellboy) being the shy but intelligent lead. Duncan (David Moscow) is an insecure nerd, Jack (Michael Rosenbaum) is a handsome, super confident jock and his twin Jane (Azura Skye) is basically the spacey Phoebe of the group. Given the talent of the young cast involved its no surprise everybody is pretty good, even if the material itself feels warmed over. The show never really found its groove, and the Seinfeld influence saw the characters act way too self-aware to convincingly pass as teens.
