Okay, I like both shows. And I don't get the point in comparing them.

But I'd like to address those people that are complaining that there's no character development in Victorious and the characters there are rather flat:

I think we've got a little math problem here. iCarly is in the middle of its 4th season, while Victorious has just started its 2nd season. iCarly leads by 2 seasons. iCarly has 3 major characters to focus on, in Victorious there are 6, while episode length is equal on both shows.

These two reasons give iCarly plenty of time to show any depths and shallows of their characters and to develop them accordingly. In Victorious there's just not been enough time to do such things yet. I bet if you would've been asked to compare iCarly to another popular show back then when iCarly was at the end of its first season, you wouldn't have noticed any character development there either. So your conclusion should have been that's it's a bad show. Don't watch it any further.
