I saw your comment regarding how you felt the episodes "iLost My Mind" to "iToe Fat Cakes" were Season 4, but I assure you it's not. Now production-wise it is because those episodes came from the show's fourth season cycle hence why they have the 4xx coding, but they aired as Season 5. I am trying to get people to understand this because the 26-episode order intended for Season 4 to be shot at one time in the show's third season cycle was split. Dan shot the first half and did the second half later, and that became a whole new filming cycle so it was going to air as a new season. That's why the 13 Season 4 episodes ("iGot a Hot Room" to "iParty with Victorious") were even released on DVD as the "Complete 3rd Season". "Complete" meaning the whole airing season, and "3rd" in terms of it being produced out of the show's third season cycle (that's actually the real Season 3). As for the next batch of 13 episodes ("iLost My Mind" to "iToe Fat Cakes"), we Dan saying this was a new season with the next number coding due to being a new filming cycle and not a continuation off the last one. Nick even advertised these as a new season in September 2011 but after "iLost My Mind" aired (due to "iDate Sam & Freddie" being the first produced episode of the season). And since the Season 3 filming cycle aired as Season 4, this was going to air as Season 5. So the next season that's produced as Season 5 will air as Season 6. The labeling of the new season as Season 5 is simply because of it being the show's fifth filming cycle but it's going to air that way. There's some confusion regarding the labeling of the season which had people want to tie up the last 24 episodes together as one airing season as it was meant to be. But it's the use of one label after another due to the situation regarding the Season 2 split. We have sources that use the show's real cycle labels: such as Seasons 2 and 3 as one season (Season 2), Season 4 as Season 3, Season 5 as Season 4 which is why this upcoming season that's airing as Season 6 is being called Season 5 in some places. I just wanted to make this clear with you.
