Do you have the ratings for Saturday’s “Victorious” on Nickelodeon?????
Wow, Victorious isn’t even in the top 25! Well they had another really forced filler episode with the plot stolen from an iCarly episode. It’s like the writers are phoning it in with Victorious but keeping iCarly a high priority.
Top Nine is Sports & Jersey Shore–how did Shake It Up make it to #10?
What about Wizards?
@Matt: Wizards was already covered on Friday’s page.
I just saw that. Thanks. So that just leaves Victorious and Power Rangers Samurai.
So Random is getting more viewers every Sunday!
GREAT!
wow! yes! Victorious isn’t even in top 25!..i think they should reflect about it! iCarly rocks!
Disney ruled this week. Happy for Shake it Up and their growing success. Monsters Inc definetly knocked out iCarly and Victorious Saturday. Hopefully more and more Phineas and Ferb will soon knock that yellow sponge off this list. Im guessing So Random is growing into that 7:30 slot. Im a little upset not seeing Fridays Phineas and Ferb up here. With it being at 7:00, did really set it back.
Those asking about Victorious, here:

3.399 million viewers, which honestly can somewhat be blamed on the abundance of sports that night.
