This is the only show on TV right now where I often both laugh and cry in the same episode. ZEP takes everything I loved about _Glee_ and _Smash_ and pulls those things into areas that resonate with me (I lost my father--in an emotional sense--years ago when he left the family for someone else. I, like Zoey, am a clumsy nerdy/whip-smart woman who can barely handle my own emotions and relationships let alone other peoples and who is also a little bit too open about sharing with others and it often gets me into trouble. ZEP also hits the harder human issues without preaching, and it's rare to find a show that can touch on issues without trying to tell its audience what to do or trying to influence them or guilt us into reaction. It doesn't hurt that the ZoeyXMax relationship is the kind I've dreamed of all my life and wish I had. I honestly hate the rating on this show isn't higher because this is a show that deserves many, many seasons (at least as many as Glee or more).
