1) Sam and Cat

So then, Drake and Josh coming from the Amanda Show didn't bother you, nor did Miranda coming from Drake and Josh to iCarly, and neither did Leon Thomas coming from iCarly to Victorious?

Sam and Cat are the only two characters confirmed in the show - you say he's "reusing the same characters" but carrying two characters is not a big deal. Spin-offs reuse characters all the time; they're spin-offs, they take place in the same universe which allows for that sort of thing.

2) Too talented?

Good actresses will seek out and land glorious roles. Miranda was doing commercials before she got to Drake and Josh, and she balanced her Nick career with a music tour for a little while.

3) 2 Broke Girls

Never heard of the show, but you're sounding like because ONE show did something no other show can. Since you haven't seen it, you can't say the shows are all that similar. Yes, it's about them babysitting - iCarly is a show about teenagers, there are a LOT of shows about teenagers getting into hijinks.

And on that note, iCarly took inspiration from The Amanda Show, while Victorious took inspiration from Zoey 101. Are those shows bad for having similar concepts?

4) Season 3

And maybe this is just me rubbing salt in the wound, but Season 3 is where I stopped watching iCarly. Season 3 was enough. I already didn't like Seasons 1 and 2 as a kid, and now I was getting older and the show just wasn't funny to me anymore. I started paying more attention in Season 4 when I noticed Jennette was getting bustier and somehow getting away with it. I stopped without paying much attention to Seasons 5 or 6, and I didn't seriously start watching again until I learned that Season 7 would be the final season.

So yeah, there's that.
