That seems like a pretty complicated reason. xD

Honestly, as much as Dan irks me, I don't think he had anything to do with the cancellation. The official reason is that Nick only ordered 60 episodes for the entire series and since the screwballs at the network didn't promote it enough, it didn't get the ratings it deserved and met an early demise. 60 episodes seems extremely low to me, though. If I'm not mistaken, most shows order at least 65 eps. It doesn't seem fair at all that iCarly got 109 eps (and half of the eps were abysmal xP).

Besides, think about it. Dan 'loved' Victorious. He was borderline obsessed with it. He never missed an opportunity to talk about it. He loved the whole cast greatly (as well as the public). Plus, he seemed to take a special liking towards Victoria so it doesn't really make sense that he would be the one to pull the plug. Not to mention these recent episodes appeared to indicate that there was tons of character development on the way.

In other words, I think this came as a shock to all of us and it was mainly the boneheads at Nick screwing us over. And they have been known to make senseless decisions like this in the past by greenlighting crappy shows and cancelling amazing ones. All I can say is, it's curtains for Nickelodeon; it's as simple as that. :P

On the other hand, it is a bit suspicious that we got the news of Gibby and Sam and Cat merely days before the news of the cancellation. I always thought it would've been a bit hard and tedious for Ariana to do both shows but the thought of Victorious ending never crossed my mind because well, like I said, it was at its prime.

I don't really know how to end this but even though I'm not quite as upset as I was when I first heard the news, I'm still a bit bewildered and in denial. For a lot of people (myself included), they were just starting to get into Victorious. Many felt the need to start watching it more often once they knew iCarly was ending. You and I even made plans to swich to the Victorious wiki once iCarly was over but now it looks as though it will be soon be just as dead as this one and that deeply saddens me. :/

So, in summary, Nick is unfathomably stupid and not even Dan could control or help it. Sam and Cat better be a freaking fantastic show since it is now all we have to gamble all our money on. >.>
