Sam and Cat sounds almost like a tween version of 2 Broke Girls
(which, I guess, makes Gibby the tween version of Community). I'm
totally and utterly unsure if this is a good or bad thing.

Ugh. It sounds awful. I was really looking forward to Jennette being a
new character, even though I love Sam. I was hoping that Jennette
would headline her own show. Also, Cat is so grating. I cannot stand
her on Victorious, so to have a show with even more focus on her
doesn't bode well for me.


That. A hundred times that.

Had it been Sam & Daniella Monet's Trina, I would have been game. But
unless Schneider seriously revamps Cat, and Ariana upgrades her
acting, I probably won't be watching, as much as I like Jennette.

I would only be down with this if Jennette and Ariana played different
characters. I'm not sure why Dan's taking her away from Victorious but
I guess at this point she's kinda adding nothing to that show, as
oppose to the other characters. Also, not down with the Gibby spinoff
either, I don't want spin-offs. I'm fine with them in the same
universe.

I agree. That would be the only way it would work for me is if they
played different characters. I do not think I can see Sam and Cat
being friends. Please let Sam hit Cat with the butter sock repeatedly.

I cannot believe they are doing a Gibby spin-off. Really?

Sam Puckett with the no brain Cat? This is worse that NCIS Los
Angeles. Schneider is getting crazier by the minute. Sam (Jennette)
own show ok but this pairing is going to be terrible.

Unless Puckett gets to sing
