Wow, lots of angry ranting.

I'm also kinda disappointed Dan didn't bother to write new characters. Personally, I think his good times are over. Things started going down for him in iCarly season 4 / Victorious season 2.

Gibby became a main, and him being forced into the plots made some episodes (like iDo and iStart a Fan War [although there are tons of things wrong with an episode that has the only purpose of making one part of the fandom look ridiculous]) pretty boring. Gibby isn't a character you can center a plot around, and I don't really expect anything from his show.

The arc was pure fanservice (just watch iLost My Mind, the final scene doesn't make sense given the Cam friendship and Sam's free-spirited character; I consider it an admission of fanservice).

Victorious started getting weak in season 2 when Cat's IQ dropped 100 points and any previous development between Jade and Tori was pretty much reverted. In season 1, Cat was adorable and slightly ditzy, in season 2 and much of season 3, she's just plain stupid.

The recent episodes didn't really make sense either.

There were Wanko's Warehouse, an okay random episode, The Hambone King, a Robbie-centric episode that put Tori in the spotlight in the last moment (WHY??? Let someone else have it just ONCE!!!), Opposite Date, which reset shipping to zero although everyone knows Beck and Jade will get back together soon, and Three Girls and a Moose, where EVERYONE goes crazy over Beck's Canadian friend, which doesn't make sense especially for Jade because she a) hates Canadians and b) has never shown any interest in any guy but Beck.

I don't expect Sam & Cat to be very good. I'll watch a few episodes (the first few not live though unless they air right after Victorious), but my expectations are low.

The only way I could imagine it to work would be if Cat reverts to her season 1 self, if she stays the way she is now, Sam would kill her after three episodes max if it was in any way realistic.
