I really REALLY hate Nick sitcoms, because they have a bunch of dumb jokes and uninteresting plot lines and characters. That's when I was introduced to Sam & Cat. Now, for those who don't know this is a spin-off in the Schneiderverse. Dan Schneider made some of Nick's popular shows like iCarly, Victorious, Henry Danger, Zoey 101, The Amanda Show and more that I can't remember at the top of my head. Which six year old me had NO IDEA in the first place that it was a spin-off. It was just one of those shows that would play in the background but something about it caught my attention so six year old me decided to give it a shot. I faintly remembered this show recently so I decided to re-watch it for the hell of it.
Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it as good as I remember? Yes and no.
But, I found myself liking these characters. Sam & Cat features Sam Puckett from iCarly and Cat Valentine from Victorious, meeting up with each other in Los Angeles and becoming friends. They decide to start a babysitting service to earn some extra cash. Right off the bat, the plot might sound a bit cliché but you can't really judge a show based on that, it has the be the writing that's good. Sam and Cat were just meant to be on-screen together because their dynamic fits so well. And the side characters are interesting too.
Dice J. Corleone is their next door neighbor and is known for trying to make a quick buck by occasionally trying to persuade people to buy something from him, I really liked him a lot more than I thought I was. Nona is Cat's eccentric grandma and is usually the one that helps Sam and Cat. Goomer is your typical dumb optimistic person who tries the make the best out of current situations and really funny at times.
The episodes are sometimes a hit or miss, that's why I gave it a seven rating. You might be wondering why this ended abruptly and it was because of pay disputes, personal issues in Sam's actress McCurdy's life, and feuds between the Co-stars. Which is a damn shame because this show had so much to offer. But give it a shot if you're and iCarly of Victorious fan. I'm not, but I couldn't be anymore happier.
