Pacific Coast Academy, a boarding school that used to be just for guys, is allowing girls. Some students, such as Logan reese, think this is a bad move. So when Zoey Brooks challenges Logan to a basketball game, guys vs. girls, he gladly accepts. Who will win?

It was alright. It did a good job at introducing most of the major characters for the rest of the series and it did have a good plot. I'm surprised the girls lost, but oh well. My final grade for this episode would be either a C+ or a B-. Decent series openermoreless

Zoey and Dana are Hot. Dana is the best girl at basketball. I think that Logan is a big jerk. Quinn and Nicole are the worst out of the girls. Dana is cranky and bossy. I do not like Dana or Logan. All of the main characters are in this episode:Zoey, Chase, Michael, Quinn, Dustin, Dana, Nicole, and Logan. We also see Dustin's room mate Jack. Lola and James are not in this yet. This is the only episode we see the basketball coach. Zoey joins the basketball team. The only episodes Nicole and Dana don't fight are this one, Defending Dustin, Backpack, Prank Week, and Little Beach Party.moreless

So this is the first episode of the show and already it's off to a great start. PCA Academy has decided to let girls into it and we meet the characters. But as you guessed some of the boys aren't as welcoming to the girls.moreless

So this is the pilot episode of one of the greatest shows ever. Unlike most shows it has the theme song with the characters in the show so we already get a feel on who's in the show and what some of the episodes are.

The show starts a black car driving to PCA with 2 of the main characters, Zoey and her brother Dustin. Since PCA is now aceepting girls into what used to be an all boys school, Zoey is really excited about it. Dustin being Dustin starts the show off with something random, he has to go to the bathroom. After Dustin makes a attempt at trying to go to the bathroom on a tree and a pep talk to Zoey from her father we finally arrive at the campus. The next scene is the one scene that not only introduces a huge character but a huge plot through out the series. A fuzzy haired kid riding his bike waves at Zoey just before crashing into a pole. Zoey comes over worried and he introduces himself as Chase. After Chase meets Zoey's dad who doesn't seem to like the idea of his daughter's first new friend being a boy Chase takes Zoey to her new dorm. She's pretty excited that she can see the ocean from her room. Chases saved her from a old sandwich in her mini fridge then warns her about how people are mean to people on the first day. Chase leaves to go save his bike from being hung in a tree by some kids. Upon that we her a scream from a girl.

We meet the some what annoying character Nicole in the girl's bathroom who screams because of a urinal. We find out that she's Zoey's room mate. They head off to their room where we meet a very mean character Dana who is their room mate too. After Dana leaves, Zoey fix's Nicole's shirt then they leave to go explore the campus. The girl's stop at the basketball court where the guy's basketball team is playing which Chase is on. Zoey tells a very obnoxious character Logan that she plans to try out for the guys team since there is no girls team. He challenges her to a boy against girls basketball game. Logan being Logan asks her "Want to make out?" The scene changes to a different day where Zoey and a bunch of girls are discussing basketball. We meet the second last character who is a nerd. Quinn makes a remark "I once made a basketball explode" Most of the girls feel that it's stupid and useless to play so the leave which leaves 6 girls. After a practice the girls feel that they are gonna lose and that Zoey is the only good player. Logan almost hurting somebody throws a basketball with a note attached to it threating them that they will lose.

The scene changes to the basketball game where we see the guys practicing and the girls practicing. At this point it's pretty obvious the girls aren't good at all except Zoey. Dustin hiding under the bleachers tells Zoey that he can't cheer for her or else he will get in trouble with some guys he knows but he wishs his sister good luck. It turns out Dana showed up to watch the game.

Chase and Zoey wish each other good luck then the game starts. Let's just say Quinn is not very good at the game and Nicole thinks that dancing is a good idea to win Dana just nods her head at how bad the girls are. Soon in the game Logan injuries Zoey but Zoey tells that she is going to continue to play. Dana comes up to them and offers to help, Quinn leaves to let Dana play. Together Zoey and Dana get most of the points for the team. Dustin finally cheers for the girls and gets everybody too. Dana makes a shot which puts the pressure on if the ball is going to go in the basket or not. Unfortunatly it doesn't and the timer goes off leaving the game at 28 to 27 for the guys. Logan rubs it in that the guys beat the girls but the coach offers for Dana and Zoey to play on the basketball team. The girls celebrate with a party one which some of the guys including Chase and the last main character Micheal come to to apologize. They admit the want cake and pizza and the girls let them hang with them.

Sorry this review was so long but I felt it deserved to be long because it's the first episode. This episode was great and we learned about the chacracters and if you watch future episodes and then watch this episode you may find some hidden stuff you never knew.moreless

This episode was the start of an extremely awesome series! Looking back on it right before the finale, this episode was LOADED with Choey moments. Chase was so great, he has so many awesome lines (like "You know what? I'll bleed, you talk" and other things when he was showing Zoey around). Compared to the rest of the seasons, especially Season 4, this was incredibly well-written and just nice and general.

Ah where it all began! I absolutely loved this episode! Its the episode that started it all!

Chase and Zoeys first meeting! It was so adorable how Chase literally fell for Zoey! and then hi nervous rambling! Thats just classic Chase Matthews!

Ofcourse Nicole being afraid of the boys urinal was priceless! It was hilarious that she didn't know how they 'sit' on it haha. And Dana made a lovely first impression...okay not really but I loved her :)

This episode made me fall in love with all the main characters. I love Logan's jerkness haha call me crazy but he just wouldnt be him if he wasnt cocky and well him!

The episode was awsome sorry i can't write anymore I havent seen it in a whilemoreless
