I'll seriously be pissed if Victorious is getting canceled because of Sam & Cat. I'll refuse to watch that show.

This fall’s “Sam & Cat” stars Ariana Grande and Jeanette McCurdy, who will reprise their characters from “Victorious” and “iCarly.” The show faced a backlash, though, after fans learned that “Victorious” would not be renewed for a fourth season.
if Victorious is being cancelled for Sam & Cat, Nickelodeon needs to rethink what they're doing with their channel.—

98% sure Dan canceled Victorious because he has to work on "Sam & Cat" and "Gibby"—

Dear Dan Schneider, have fun with "Sam & Cat" but don't cancel Victorious!—

Now Sam & Cat will forever be known as the show that Victorious got cancelled for. Congrats, @DanWarp, you're off to a good start.—

“Victorious” and “Sam & Cat” star Ariana Grande took to Twitter to explain the situation directly to fans.
Victorious not being renewed has NOTHING 2 do with Sam & Cat. I was planning on going back next year to shoot both shows. I was so excited!—

@ArianaGrande Oh my gosh! Thank you for clearing that up. People have blamed even you and Jennette

Dan Schneider, who created all of the shows involved, rushed out a blog post to explain the situation and asked viewers to “please not be angry with … ANY of the Victorious cast members or staff.”
Guys, I don't make the decisions on many episodes we make of ANY show. AND… a WHOLE NEW SEASON of Victorious is coming soon!—

Hey! I'm about to post a blog that will (hopefully) clear some stuff up! Coming in a few….
