Didn't Victorious have a plot with Robbie and Andre (I think?) joining a dance class and then enjoying that it was full of girls? I'm surprised they would use something so similar.

Also, the intro sequence is... so bland. They really just shoved them onto a green screen and told them to dance like they're in a TikTok trend. I kind of imagine that's exactly what they were going for, too, but it's a huge step down from the fun they had in the Victorious intro.

This episode did give me hope that the show is going to find its footing. I just think it needs to find a better balance between "silly and wacky" and serious. Victorious could have some pretty wild plots but somehow it managed to still feel grounded.

The characters yell a lot in this show, too. I suppose the exaggerated acting is a "we need to keep the attention of young viewers" thing, but it can feel a little overstimulating to watch.

So, yeah. A little conflicted. But the fact I'm still willing to watch is a positive sign for me, at least.

For Robbie and Andre, they joined the class and it was full of men who had the same idea. Eventually a girl walks in and they scream GIRL and they swarm her while she screams. Typing out i realise damn we really wouldn't get that today

I knew something similar had went down! Thank you for the reminder. I think a lot of things probably wouldn’t happen today in hindsight. 😅

This episode was genuinely hilarious to me 😭 I can’t join the hate bandwagon I’m actually enjoying it (also I found it random that Paramount exists in this universe lol).
