Personally I don't consider Heather the protagonist until the final 3 episodes where she became an antihero. But that's not my point. Sure I agree all the protagonists did share the "straight man" approach, based on their portrayal making the audience see things from their perspective, but I don't think goths and dorky circus girls are "common". I know, Mike and Zoey was done terribly, but I'm saying that wasn't the original intention. That's just stupidity on whoever the part of whoever decided to put them in. What I think they wanted to do (not what they actually ended up doing), was to have protagonists who were of a more "common" stereotype, less unusual quirks. - Don't bring up MPD Mike, I know he's offensive and it was a mistake to make him that way.
