Victorious

I'll start off by admitting that I'm almost 19 and I look forward to watching this show whenever it comes on YTV. I understand that Victorious is designed for a younger audience, but let's be honest, it's easily one of the most quirky and just flat-out enjoyable nic shows out there. Yes it's a touch over-dramatic and can be pretty corny, but that's all part of the show's charm. It's like the love-child of Community, Glee, and one of the other nic shows like, I dunno, iCarly - and that, as it turns out, is a pretty killer combination. All of the cast members are so talented. From musicality to comedic timing, they've got it all. All of the characters are unique and interesting - particularly Cat and Sikowitz.

Okay, I guess I'll stop ranting. To sum up, Victorious is the only live action kids show that I've ever thoroughly enjoyed, and unlike my love of Spongebob Squarepants, I'm not afraid to admit it.

Dan Schneider you've done it again! this show is awesome, good cast, acting, jokes. like everything of this show is awesome! its good for teens, children, adult...like everyone. it doesn't have cheesy jokes and stuff. if your someone who loves drake & josh, icarly etc...well then your gonna LOVE and i do mean LOVE this show. everyone is talented in this show! you can see that its a typical Dan Schneider show. my rate for this show is 10/10,i got no flaws or nothing bad 2 tell about. its just to good! and plus they have some really good songs and amazing singers. like Ariana Grande(Kat) she has this AMAZING Christina Aguilera voice! but this show, OFF THE HOOK! hope it last long!

I'll admit I have a lot of nostalgia for this show. However, after rewatching it now that I'm older plenty of aspects of it still hold up. The writing is surprisingly funny in a weird sort of way(one of the main character is literally a "urban" puppet.) The acting from the kids is fine and obviously it includes a lot of breakout stars like Ariana Grande. Obviously it is a kids sitcom so it has a lot of cheesiness but as far as this genre goes I'll still say it gets a pass from me.

I was 15 when this show came out. I watched some episodes here & there and found it enjoyable enough, but didn't love it....it wasn't "mature" enough for my "discerning palette" (I mainly watched Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, etc. hahaha). In fact, most of my exposure to this show came from babysitting a little girl who was obsessed with it, so that probably also made me feel "too old" for it (gotta love teenager logic!). Zoom forward to 2020 and the craziness of this year, and out of boredom (and possibly psychological regression) I've revisited this show on Netflix. Only....I'm amazed at how much I am genuinely enjoying it! True, parts of this show haven't aged well....at all. But, it has some truly funny moments, catchy songs, and the cast had great chemistry overall. And of course it's fascinating to see Ariana Grande shine as Cat Valentine in the days before her mega stardom/success. Victorious didn't take itself too seriously, and as long as you don't either, you might just find yourself watching all 4 seasons in an alarmingly quick span like I did.

I consider "Victorious" - creator/producer Dan Schneider's post-iCarly effort - to have great re-watch potential, alongside "Drake & Josh". I loved this show as a teen, and I'm not afraid to admit that I still like it (though don't LOVE it like I used to).

"Victorious" features entertaining-if-a-little-corny storylines, and a great cast, including the supremely-talented Liz Gillies and Ariana Grande who has turned mainly to singing, now. While Ariana Grande's character Cat comes off as grating, Liz Gillies totally steals the show as Jade West, a cynical and sarcastic, goth-like student who becomes frenemies with Tori (Victoria Justice).

"Victorious" is essentially very similar to previous Schneider's Bakery productions - with a healthy dose of sarcasm, wordplay, and slapstick humor. The performing arts element is pretty interesting too!
