Sam & Cat is in my opinion one of the best new nickelodeon show for Tweens The show follows the life of Sam Puckett a Character from former show ICarly who is Street smart Eats a hell lot of food and can be light-Hearted and cat who Is an Air head innocent and sweet long story short Sam saves cat from getting squashed in a garbage truck they then have an instant connection and start living together. The comedy is a mix of clean PG family fun comedy and a bit of adult comedy the theme song is catchy and fun has guest appearances a mix of snobby characters fun and loving characters and also sleaze ball characters I didn't expect much but I was surprised and anyone considering watching should watch it. The acting is pretty good but the only thing that disappointed me is the lack in main characters.

Sam and Cat is an amazing show. Why? First of all, what is it about? Sam from iCarly and Cat from Victorious meeting each other, becoming roommates and starting a babysitting service. And why is this funny? Their personalities are so different, that they always bounce around and get tied in a knot of humor. The plot never gets old (okay, maybe SOMETIMES), and the kids they babysit are hilarious. But there are some bad things. Sometimes, the kids they babysit can be very annoying and naughty. Secondly, Cat's voice sometimes makes me want to never hear anything again. Yet that barely happens. Go on, watch, enjoy, and bring on season 2, Nick! Please note that this is just an opinion, so it's okay if you like it or not. I give it a 9/10.

I have a confession to make and please don't get me wrong when I say this. The only reason I watch this show is the same reason why I watch victorious in the first place: ariana grande and no one else. I still love cat, she's my most favorites (besides the other characters ariana did after Sam & cat) even though in the later seasons of her first show and coming onto this spinoff show, looks as if cat got way too high and scrambled from all the anti-bipolar meds she's been taken. But still love cat. I was very upset and mad that the show got cancelled on when cat has gone to jail for a week. Still happy that ariana loves & misses being on nickelodeon and I wish she can come back someday soon.

I hate America, I hate Americans

The girl is in a TV series, being paid to do nothing but act. Her lines are supplied to her, she does not create her character, she is being directed to act a certain way, everything is handed to her in this series

People who generally don't have to work for stuff generally despise it

Ariana Grande Quote "I hate America, I hate Americans"

I enjoyed both iCarly and Victorious, which prompted me to check out Sam and Cat.

As with most kids shows nowadays, lots of things don't add up or make sense. This show is one of the worst I've seen of this. Sam somehow ends up in L.A., where Cat lives with her Grandmother (we don't ever find out where her parents are). Sam rescues Cat from being smashed inside a garbage truck, and they become friends and decide to be roommates, because Cat's grandmother is abandoning Cat and moving to a retirement home. This plot has lots of holes, and I have many questions that desperately need answered, although I know they never will.

Where are Cat's parents? Why is Sam doing online school when she is obviously a criminal and destined to be a dropout? How in the world can these two become friends? They have absolutely nothing in common. How can Cat's grandmother just decide to abandon Cat and move away if she is Cat's guardian? Also, you can't pay rent on an apartment that nice with just babysitting money. How do they? Why is Cat so stupid and annoying? And seriously? Babysitting? You can't come up with something better?

The opening credits are (I should say were) the best part of this show. Fun and catchy song. Now they have cut parts out of it to make it shorter and it is no longer good.

What happened, Mr. Schneider? You've lost your keen edge for making quality kids shows like Drake and Josh (my all-time favorite), iCarly, Victorious, and Zoey 101. Sam and Cat is pretty close to what I would call garbage. Not quite, as it does have its moments. There are some laughs, but the plot is so weak, questionable, and unoriginal that it sucks any fun out of what could have been a great show. 4/10

Sam & Cat has gotten off to a good start. There were a couple of sweet moments and both came from Sam and Cat each. Sam is less of that girl that's getting into trouble with the law and a little more in trouble with the kids she and Cat will have to babysit. Towards the end of iCarly, after she and Freddie broke up and was suggested by him to be a little more normal, she's shown to take his advice and there are a few moments where it shows she's getting better as a person but without going 180 to the point where you don't know who this chick is that says she's Sam Puckett. I'm not sure how much Cat's going to develop as a character but considering this WAS originally going to be Jennette McCurdy's show (who is rising to fame gradually due to so much of the work she's done), I feel this show can definitely be watched for Sam. Granted, she's not the best with kids either. iCarly was proof of that in one episode (before the Seddie arc). What happens throughout the show I see will be due to how Sam and Cat are with their personalities or because the kids themselves are out of control. Considering Cat's Nona wanted to move to an elderly home after her last babysitting job, you can really see why babysitting these kids would be crazy, even for Sam & Cat. Towards the very end of the first episode do they actually babysit the kids that were visiting after saving a man's life. And even as a fan, I do admit how they saved him is pretty odd but then again, maybe they were still performing "C-3P0" as Cat said they should and weren't doing CPR like they thought. But the thing is, to not take what happens on the show so seriously. If Sam & Cat were amazing babysitters already, the show wouldn't be the same. It'd be boring actually, not even close to a comedy then. At this point, I have yet to see how good the character Dice is and Nona seems like a sweetheart and I'm glad she's apart of the show. The good part about the show is Sam and Cat, having already been loved in their respective shows and being wished by fans to have their own show, get to shine more as characters, as well as the actors. Unfortunately I've never seen Ariana Grande play another character. Interesting fact is she was on Broadway before television. Jennette McCurdy has had praise for her acting since she was really little, BEFORE iCarly so to see a show of hers (that was originally just hers) where she gets to be the star is a real treat to me. There's going to be a lot of crazy stories/episodes. And I mean crazy for sure. It's definitely far better than most of what's on Nickelodeon now, to me. Really, you'd have to see the first few episodes of the show yourself. With Dan Schneider's shows you see development in characters over time, and it may even be not so noticeable especially if you're really biased towards a show or the character. Kids and Ariana fans may really enjoy Cat, and Sam maybe watched by anyone who may not be fond of Cat's voice. There's nothing really to complain about with this show. It's not like some show I'm thinking of. It had a good beginning, building up the sweet friendship between Sam and Cat already (this is why I'm watching aside from the humour). Sam and Cat and their friendship are why I'll love this show.

I have watched quite a few episodes of Sam & Cat and I can say that I didn't laugh ONCE. NOT ONCE. I thought iCarly and Victorious were bad... Dan Schneider, you've lost it.

Basically this show revolves around Sam Puckett (Jenette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. They start a babysitting service and Sam moves into Nona's (Cat's grandmother's) apartment. Although, as soon as Sam gets there, Nona leaves her granddaughter to live in a retirement home with little to no money. There is no way babysitting money is paying for her lavish apartment's rent every month. I have to stop there. A babysitting service? Really? That's the best idea you came up with? A bit of a lackluster premise if you ask me. The component that's almost as annoying as Cat's nails-on-a-chalkboard voice is the idiotic laugh track that plays after EVERY SENTENCE. Is that supposed to make me laugh? It doesn't. In fact, it makes me want to throw myself at my TV.

The other characters include 12-year-old Dice (Cameron Oscario), who lives in Cat's apartment complex. He adds absolutely nothing to the show except for being an annoying little brat that you want to punch in the face 50 million times. He's pretty much filler and nothing more.

Then there's Goomer (Zoran Korach), an MMA fighter who just so happens to be managed by a TWELVE YEAR OLD. Yeah, that really helps your career. But who cares? Goomer is too stupid to realize that anyway. Apparently the writers think that by adding a dumb 5-year-old to the show that it will make it better when in fact it makes me want to vomit. Stupidity is NOT funny. It's highly irritating and gets old quickly. The only character I can withstand is Nona (Maree Cheatham), but she doesn't get enough air time at all because she left Cat to live a retirement home.

All of the jokes on this show are the same overused bullshit from iCarly and Victorious. Speaking of iCarly, did I neglect to mention that Cat is written exactly like Carly? Her responses and facial expressions match Carly's in every way. If you swapped out Cat with Carly, it wouldn't make a difference (minus the annoying voice). The acting is atrocious, as usual. Is anyone surprised?

The fact of the matter is Sam and Cat were never meant to be main characters. Neither of them have enough depth and, to be frank, neither of them are likable. Sam's stupid pranks she pulls on Cat are just plain mean and not as hilarious as the laugh track and the writers seem to think.

Sam and Cat is one of the worst shows I have ever watched. Dan Schneider, if I were you, I'd stop creating these types of shows. They're not funny and they all wind up being the exact same thing.
