On September 18, 2005, Zoey 101 episode Time Capsule (S2 E2) premiered on Nickelodeon. At the end of the episode, Zoey promised Chase he'd know what she said in 10 years, though it was originally 20 years. Now it's September 18, 2015, and Dan Schneider never breaks a promise. This was a clip TeenNick played earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4&v=U0YBNsRTtQI
I really hate to be that guy...but this just rubbed me the wrong way. I watched the show while it aired, liked some bits, but had no attachment to it. For one thing, it could just be my problem with Dan Schneider's brand of comedy. That VCR joke is the perfect representation of what his humor is like, and how zero sense it makes (why would someone be carrying around a VCR at a restaurant, they didn't ask for a VCR player so why say you have one anyway, etc). The set up is that Chase was going to ask a girl to marry him, and doing it slightly differently than normal conventions. This shows that he is in a stable relationship. Plus, many have said that him and Zoey were dating at the end of the show. This would lead me to guess that they dated, broke up, and he's moved on. But from his reaction, he hasn't moved on, and it's really sad to watch. Just by the way he treats his girlfriend, it shows that he isn't mature. It's been ten years guy. You had your chance and it didn't work out. Move on. They literally could've done anything else, but they had to do this. Why did he need to seem like he was going to propose to someone if he's just going to dump her because he's in love with the idea of a girl he knew a long time ago. That's not funny. That's just really sad.
