Warning: Spoilers
Okay so I just saw the preview for this show after the KCAs cause I was curious. That and I think Dan Schneider makes good shows...but compared to Drake&Josh, ICarly, and All That, this show isn't too "Victorious" (haha, couldn't resist putting in the joke).

Anywho, the concept for Vitorious is pretty simple. Tori's always been in the background of her show offy sister who goes to a performing arts school, then she's given the opportunity (against her will after her older sister is unable to perform in a showcase) to show her pipes and she gets admitted into said performing arts school where she feels she isn't good enough, and doesn't fit in and blah blah blah.

For starters the concept of the show is FAAAAR too cliché, it's been done time and time again. Not only that but would it kill them if they made Trina (Tori's sister) have some actual talent? The fact that the character's a talentless drama queen who thinks she's the best is just dumb to say the least.

The acting was decent-ish, but the comedy needs some work. The only funny part was when they were forcing Tori into performing, and the kid Andre had some amusing lines as well. The rest of the cast were just okay, it's hard to judge from one episode.

Again, with such a cliché and tired concept they could have done a better job with making the other part of this show better (the comedy chops and blah blah blah).

But we'll see where this show takes us....
