I'm glad someone besides me feels the way I do about this. I thought I was the only one who saw How To Rock as a symptom of Nick not being what it used to be. It looks like I'm not the only one that sees that How To Rock is using Victorious as a crutch. Nick knows that garbage won't take off without the help of a good show. I guess Victorious was their choice since the looming end of iCarly means they will want to stretch out the episodes to keep the money coming in.

@RosalieTheBrave is right. Not only is the show terrible, but the only real way forward for Nick is to bring back the writers they had from 1996 to 2004. I think when Craig Bartlett (the creator of Hey Arnold) left Nick in 2004, it was the begiining of the decline. How To Rock is just latest example of that trend that started back in 2004. I think if Nick wants to be great again, they need to make sure that Dan's shows form a major part of their programing, as well as bring back the writers that made Nick great 10-15 years ago. As well as bring back Craig Barlett, they need to bring back Klasky-Csupo, the company that wrote many of the shows that were on Nick from 1998-2004. I don't see any of this happening, unfortunately. I don't know what happened with Klasky-Csupo, but I do know that Nick picked a fight with Craig Barlett, causing him to leave. Nick and their stupid pride and their stupid executives will be the downfall of that channel.
