@Violet144 I don't think you're being rude. I actually kind of agree with you. There's no dispute that iCarly is more popular. I think the reason a lot of people watch Victorious is because they love iCarly and they both are written by Dan. Even though Victorious is piggy backing off iCarly, it's still very clear that How To Rock is using the popularity Victorious has to gain viewer. Plus I think it's worse when they it with How To Rock because How To Rock is not written by Dan. It makes sense for Victorious to use iCarly's popularity (even though it's not ideal) because Dan wrote both. If people like one of Dan's show's it's only natural that they'll want to check out something else he writes. Dan's great job doing iCarly earned those viewers for Victorious. With How To Rock, the writers aren't using something they wrote to boost ratings. They're using Dan's work. Personally, I think shows should stand or fall on their own. Not to mention that Dans' shows share actors. iCarly took off because Miranda was in Drake and Josh, and Drake and Josh were in the Amanda show, and Amanda was in All That. Victoria Justice was in Zoey 101. Jamie Lynn Spears was in All That. The fact that Dan's shows share actors makes it more acceptable to use each other as springboards. But Victorious and How To Rock don't share actors, so it's not as understandable for How To Rock to use Victorious for views. Like I said, I think the failure of Buckett and Skinner caused Nick to use a successful show to get viewers, and Victorious was chosen.
