…..because it introduced us to Blair, et al. Opening the show with Jo arriving at Eastland and the girls getting into trouble right off wouldn’t have worked. Season 0 set up a lot of backstory.

Jo came in Season 2.

I know. What I am saying is that a lot of people don’t like Season 01, but it had to happen because it provided the backstory to Blair, etc. The series just couldn’t have opened with the first episode being Jo arriving at Eastland and getting Blair and the rest of the girls in trouble.

This place used to be the place for Season 1 fans not long ago. Jo was hardly talked about at all.

Season 1 made Eastland feel like a real school with lots of students.

My least fav character is Jo. She had too much screen time.

I didn't like her constant victim mentality.

I thought Jo's character grew more as anyone else in the series.

She had some of the funniest lines too.
