In a wild turn of events, the official Instagram account of Disney Channel acknowledged The Jersey - a Zoog Disney original - for its 25th anniversary.
Agis Capital Moves From the Back Bay to the South End
Boston – CBRE/New England announced that a long-term lease totaling 5,000 SF of office space was executed with AgIS Capital—a private equity firm that invests in farmland—at 46 Plympton Street in Boston’s South End. AgIS Capital’s relocation from 745 Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay will allow for growth within the company.
CBRE/NE’s Patrick Buckley and Jeff Landers represented the landlord, Legacy Real Estate Ventures, and Cushman & Wakefield’s Rebecca Galeota represented the tenant.
“We are pleased to welcome AgIS Capital to 46 Plympton Street,” stated Legacy Real Estate Ventures’ Michael Price. “The building’s location, proximity to public transit and amenities make it an outstanding opportunity for today’s tenants.”
46 Plympton Street
“A distinctive building with charm and character, 46 Plympton Street has brick & beam construction that is typical of Boston’s South End,” said Buckley. “As lease rates continue to climb in areas like the Seaport District, Back Bay and Financial District, we’re seeing an increase in interest for other locations within the city, particularly from start-up and early stage companies.”
46 Plympton Street, a five-story building encompassing 25,000 SF of office space, is located near the South End’s Ink Block apartments and the future development of Exchange South End, the former Boston Flower Exchange site. The five-story building offers 13’ clear height, hardwood floors, an abundance of natural light, bicycle storage and shower facilities.
46 Plympton Street is situated off of Interstates 90 and 93, and is walking distance from the MBTA Silver, Red and Orange Lines. The property is located within proximity to numerous restaurants, hotels, fitness centers, retail and coffee shops. Currently, there is only 5,000 SF still available at 46 Plympton Street.

#RIP Michael James Galeota (August 28, 1984 – January 10, 2016). Age 31. Born in Smithtown, New York. Died in Glendale, California. American actor. Best known as Nick Lighter in the Disney Channel Series The Jersey.
The Ringer's piece about the Disney channel’s early 2000s rebrand with Express Yourself and Wand IDs had a lot of interesting details that I’ve continued to think about.
Mainly this part stood out to me:
BASICALLY A CHANNEL FOR 6 YEAR OLD GIRLS
We knew Disney needed to appeal to a broader audience when it stopped being part of premium cable (that’s mentioned in the piece), but 6 is far younger than the 8-14ish age group the channel seemed geared towards with Bug Juice, The Famous Jett Jackson, and DCOMs.
Though that does explain the Lizzie McGuire phenomenon and the slapstick humor and physical comedy that is still on the channel.
Then this:
Navy blue and dark red was a Zoog era staple. Apparently, it was OLD even in the early 2000s!
Meanwhile, these brighter colors are NOT old:
Yes, they are less appealing to us senior citizens watching pre-Even Stevens content but to first and second graders they are fash 👏 en 👏 uh 👏 bull.
On a positive note, this made me laugh:
We miss you, Michael Galeota.
And learning that Boomers boycotted Disney and petitioned against the cancellation of Vault Disney made me realize our own work to keep So Weird alive has not been the first.
We’ve just been more fortunate to have been successful with it. To be in this fandom with our old people aesthetic means we have a lot to be grateful for.

Jermaine Williams was a guest on Prime Nostalgia a while ago.
He talked about his first role (Bulworth), working with Denzel Washington (The Great Debaters), Lee Thompson Young, meeting Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan and Kel), being in and out of the industry, and returning to Disney in Secrets of Sulphur Springs.
Around 17:40 he’s questioned about The Jersey. They discussed if that concept could work nowadays, co-star Michael Galeota, and Williams dropped that he is working on writing a reboot.
