User blog comment:The Sam Puckett/I hope this is not a trend for Nickelodeon/@comment-3180503-20110619212434

It's *because* the show is so popular that they feel the need to keep it around as *long* as possible. (Because really, without iCarly, what does Nick have? Victorious? Not *nearly* as popular.) This is why I think the airdates are stretched so far apart.
