that show was not funny all they did was play off of jessicas ditziness and they put nick as the supporting role i think even nick knew he got short-changed a little message to jessica: OVEREXPOSURE i know you dont know what it means so ill tell you- youre everywhere every commercial every show, you cant sing nor act
thank you and i know that sounds harsh but thats just IMO
