@ PurpleJerk :

Something has changed.

Up until now, Dan Schneider did not seem to have any control at all over when Nickelodeon would air any particular episode.

He couldn't even stop them from airing episodes out of order (which, as I've often noted, was why he avoided creating storylines that take place over two or more episodes).

But now, somehow, Dan Schneider seems to have obtained some kind of assurance from the network that they will air at least the episodes of his Sam/Freddie relationship story arc in the proper order. At least, I don't think that he would be doing this story arc if he wasn't confident that it would be broadcast properly.

Whether he managed to impress the network with how big and important a production this is, or just finally put his foot down with them (or some third option) ... Somehow, he did it.

The thing is ... Although it's clear that he does have some kind of influence here now, we don't know how far it reaches. I am wondering if Dan Schneider trying to get the network to change the airdate of iLMM would constitute pushing his luck with the network. If so, I don't know if that's really a good idea ... :/

It's just a thought, though, my own speculation. I really don't know what's going on over there.
