Another piece of the puzzle: regarding the re-boot. You know I've always thought the episodes which were more "gimmicky" were the worst ones. The ones which deal with them and their ordinary high school problems are better. The gimmicks increased in Season 4, but the latter half of Season 3 had many, like the Bigfoot one or the spaceship one. (I also have observed that the show kind of went downhill in quality after isyl). Well, hear me out. If you look at the episodes in the order they were produced (not how they aired), none of the ones in the remainder of Season 3 (after I enrage Gibby) have a scene set at the high school. Weird. Then Season 4 begins with a brand new set, and only two episodes which take place at school, and the rest a lot of gimmicks. (A sweatshop, a wedding, a psychiatrists office, web icon, etc.). Could it be: the school set WAS THE SAME ONE USED FOR VICTORIOUS, which began airing at the same time as those late Season 3 episodes? And the lack of use of the school set forced them to go further afield for ideas, because not every episode could take place entirely in the apartment? So it's not so much that they decided to take the stories out of the school setting, but rather they were forced to? Or am I nuts? I do blame Victorious for the decline in quality after isyl, but could this be another reason for that?
