Zoey's Extraordinary Boss
Prismark105 April 2020
An element of Quantum Leap. Is Zoey's new found ability something she can use as a force for good?

When Zoey imagines her boss Joan suddenly breaking out with the Rolling Stones 'I can't get no satisfaction.' Zoey has no idea what it means. Are the team's work efforts not good enough?

In fact it points to Joan's marriage problems and Zoey begrudgingly intervenes.

It was nice to see Joan move from being the hard headed and sarcastic boss to being a bit looser.

I think this is the first time a reference has been made about Mo's gender.

Personally when I go shopping if I could not find lemonade in one store, I would go to another shop to get it. Not get involved in a fight about it as Zoey's mother did.

Surely no satisfaction for the audience with this one

Warning: Spoilers
"Zoey's Extraordinary Boss" is the third episode from season one (and thus also from the entire series) of "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist". With the episode title they are apparently still going for the next episodes with the focus on one extraordinary aspect or person from the title character's life, but don't be fooled here at all. There is nothing extraordinary in these over 40 minutes. On the contrary, this was a really, really weak episode and a contender for worst episode from the entire show I would say and I am not only saying this because I strongly dislike Lauren Graham and her character is at the center of it all, but the writing has been so poor here from every perspective. It's also during these small moments when it sucks. Take for example the Uber mention. Yeah right, Graham's character's man was in charge of this as well. The entire idea with the watch did almost nothing for me. But it was not just the focus on Graham's character's story here that turned this episode into an abomination, even if it took a special kind of absence of talent to turn Katy Perry's "Roar" into something that could help a baby fall asleep. The solution at the end with alleged girl power and independence from men could also not have been handled more stereotypically uninspired. No surprise Emmy nominee Justin Kirk did not return later on during the series. The way how he was introduced was already highly gimmicky with some Jesus comparison and all the other programmers in the room admiring him so much. I know this was meant in a comedy way using exaggerations for comedic delight, but it just wasn't working at all.

As for the other stories here, Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen gets material that gives her a first chance to shine too, so this was about the older actresses this time with Graham too. Unfortunately, the protagonist's mother's plot here was just as terrible as the boss story and the lemonade elaboration was simply not working at all as a key plot point. The solution that mother needs more time for herself and the kids are willing to help to give it to her felt just as generic and forced. I mean it could have been okay if they had managed to lead us there in a more convincing manner, but the entire idea of Steenburgen's character so baffled because of her husband's desire for fresh lemonade did not feel credible and please don't tell me this was just because I am not in this really challenging situation that Steenburgen's character has been in for years. Simply not working. As for Zoey herself, her romance issues were a bit of a thing again too and the previous episode was all about her being unhappy with her best friend crushing on her and now that said best friend (also pretty rushed) has somebody else, all of a sudden we are led to believe there is some actual competition between said friend and Zoey's actual (engaged) crush. Not working. They are just spitting on the decent developments from episode 2. By the way, the crush got a bit of a story line linked to his unwillingness to dance. Well, this also felt like something they just included for the sake of it, so they could give him something, just something at all, no matter what. Another disappointing thing with this episode was that it felt that in the face of these garbage twists, they already moved too far away from the key idea that Zoey is able to hear these people sing. Here it was really all about the famous Rolling Stones number that I made a reference to in the title and even I as somebody who has never been big on the Stones must say that they deserve better than this terrible episode being a tribute to their music. So yeah, I genuinely hope that the next Zoey episodes are better again. This one here was really failure from beginning to end to be honest. A lot to improve and a gigantic step down quality-wise from the first two episodes. Highly not recommended.

Zoey is stupid
korpake7 January 2021
I like the show, but it's like they write Zoey as being a complete idiot sometimes. Like seriously stupid. She is supposed to be an intelligent woman, but then she repeatedly does really stupid stuff that make no sense. It's really annoying, really lazy writing, ruins the show and just puts me off.
