Sam & Cat

It was probably a profit oriented move to choose 2 hit show's (which takes place in the same universe and created by the same people) most beloved side characters to take part in an own seperate show together.

On paper that plan would have worked but in reality it didn't so much. Both Sam and Cat feels like different characters here than what they were in iCarly and Victorious. Their treats are mostly the same but not totally. However the biggest problem is not that. The show can't decide which way it should go, sometimes it falls on the random and brainrot side but other times on the creative and funny side. It's just lands between the 2 main series. If the creators wanted to aim at the fans it clearly didn't happen, I have no idea who would have been the target audience for this. Yes, the cameos are nice but more like a wasted potential.

It's just a very weak and desperate effort to make some money.

This is a nice enjoyable series to watch. Yes, there was room for improvement to make the series even better but it was enough to be fun to watch. The cast was great. They really committed to their respective characters and to the storyline of the whole series. This series played a good part in helping build up the careers of the cast. This series also connected very strongly with the other teenage shows. I enjoyed this series. It revealed to viewers the many aspects of the life of a teenager. Viewers and fans of these teenage shows always learn something and see a real insight of the true reality of growing up and living life.

Sam & Cat is a bit of a disappointment. It looks like every other show running on Nick right now and that's not very good. The Cat character isn't as funny as she was on Victorious and Jenny is just as dour. Together the two don't make for great comedy. The humor seems skewed for 5-8 year olds who have never read a book in their lives and don't want to. There are no original characters and no original jokes. Which doesn't mean it won't do well. It just doesn't have anything of value. The best thing that could happen to this show is lots of visits from the other cast members of iCarly and Victorious. Maybe that would spark the brains of the writers back into writing comedy. This looks like something slapped together to look like every other show on Nick. Ooops, I guess I'm repeating myself but the show looks like a repeat so it's only fitting. Seriously, how could Cat be so funny on Victorious and so boring on this show? Maybe it has to do with the fact that on Victorious the other characters were intelligent and so her "dumb," "literal" humor worked. Here it just fits in with everyone else and isn't funny at all.

Another low-brow, immature offering from the creators at Nickelodeon. The show generates a few laughs but continues to rely on slapstick comedy a little too much. I get it, it is a show for younger children but why must it be so brainless.

The show is watch worthy but the style is nothing new and a little weak. Sam Puckett bores me and although Cat Valentine is adorable there is only so much of her you can take.

Nickelodeon pick up your game. Putting two supporting actors together does not equal a star. Also a weird child grifter and a man who behaves like Forrest Gump does not make a supporting cast.

Sam and Cat is exactly what the title says - two characters from two of Dan Schneider's previous shows put together in one environment and left to have fun together. The two characters haven't changed significantly since their previous appearances on iCarly and Victorious, respectively. There are a few laughs scattered throughout the premiere, but even the laugh track seems aware of how frail the comedy is. Any longtime fan of Schneider's brand of humor will be satisfied by seeing gutsy Sam and ditzy Cat interacting with each other and other folks, but genuine gut- busting comedy of the kind that was more common on iCarly is nowhere to be found. It seems Schneider is simply going through the motions rather than trying to create something original and memorable, but as of the time of this review's writing, only one episode has debuted so far. Thus, it remains to be seen whether or not Sam and Cat can rise above mediocrity and come close to matching iCarly in influence and enjoyment.
