Until that point, Nickelodeon USA always aired the 1-hour version, while the 2-part version was used internationally. So it's not the air date of iStill Psycho itself, but the correct premiere date of the 2-part version! More info on the 2-part version: thepearsource.wordpress.com/shows/icarly/v…

Paramount+ has a weird air date for #iCarly - iStill Psycho, but it's technically correct! In 2021, iCarly briefly returned to Nickelodeon to promote the revival, and that was the very first time the 2-part version of iStill Psycho aired in the USA.

Well here’s a script that never saw the light of day: Exactly 20 years ago, as Drake & Josh was just weeks away from wrapping for good, Dan Schneider and Steve Molaro came in with a draft of a feature film for the boys to play completely different characters. I don’t know much about the plot, but the characters were named Robert and Fleck, and from what I gather—this would’ve been a non–Nickelodeon project. Dan really seemed to like the name Fleck. It was a nickname for someone in his writers’ room, and he later reused it years later as a major character name in iCarly’s “iQuit iCarly.”

In the season 2 episode of #Victorious, Terror on Cupcake Street, during one of the transitions, there's a quick shot from Friday The 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan. Though the footage used in the Victorious episode looks to be an unused take (presumably archival footage).

'Note: the male/female divider fence has been removed for this performance.' Am I the only one who never noticed it was filmed on the same location as the other prison scenes, and was also supposed to be the same location in-universe?

17 years to the day since Michael Jackson died. “I might not dance like MJ R.I.P, but I will give the best of me.” Such an iconic line and episode tribute to the King of Pop. Where were you when you heard the news? I was a kid watching it on the TV in my Las Vegas hotel room.

It'd at least have been a good reason to bring Henry back. Because other than the obvious 'fun to see them reunite again' (for both viewers amd crew), the episodes with Henry weren't that special IMO.

lol remember when people were heavily speculating Henry and/or Jasper were evil now? Like Jasper being Blackout and Henry’s suspicious behavior in Returning of the Kid. Honestly wouldn’t have been mad would’ve been a cool twist youtu.be/t-EmG1bw17w?is…

About 30 minutes ago, during the rerun of #HenryDanger - The Fate of Danger: Part II, the episode wasn't moved to a smaller screen to show a huge banner, because Nickelodeon USA thought of an even more annoying way to show the #DangerForce logo for a few seconds.

Nickelodeon USA really wants to let us know when #DangerForce is airing. This happened about an hour ago, during the repeat of #HenryDanger - The Fate of Danger: Part I. The episode moved to a smaller screen for a few seconds to show this gigantic banner.

@GermanGem_YT Any idea why they didn't use the audio from a TV recording for later airings/releases? It's pretty cool they made the effort of making a completely new dub, but they could've saved a lot of time and money...

Interesting piece of lost media: the German audio track of #DrakeAndJosh - Mean Teacher. After years of not having aired in German, the episode became available on Paramount+ a few years ago, but had to be completely redubbed! Here's a comparison: youtube.com/watch?v=n9Xg-j…

I understand there's a recording because otherwise there wouldn't be that comparison video, but Nickelodeon clearly didn't have it. And redubbing just one episode nearly 20 years later with many of the original voice actors is pretty special!

@ThePearSource It's actually not Lost Media, there's a recording archived. An issue that is way worse is this: Drake's german voice actor, Clemens Ostermann passed away on April 30th 2007. But even though the Season was wrapped, he didn't finished recording audio for every episode.

It was during the “Driver’s License” episode that the production team borrowed the line producer’s car for filming—and the last time they ever did. While Drake & Josh improvised a fight in the front seat, they damaged the interior roof of the car and a rig the grips department had built for the scene. After this episode, production learned its lesson and rented a car for every future shoot.

He can’t help. I don’t know anything about widescreen episodes, I’m sorry. Unfortunately, if a petition isn’t started for @Nickelodeon to release it themselves, I doubt we’re ever getting it.

@childhoodsource Glad that Dan finally uploaded something! Hope he knows about the Drake & Josh Widescreen hunt

New video on Dan's YouTube channel, for the first time since March 2024. Interestingly, his reaction to Quiet on Set was recently set to private. youtube.com/watch?v=CBz_de…

TheSlap was called BlabDaddy at some point, probably a reference to GoDaddy. Back in April 2009, Dan posted a long list of names they were considering on his blog, before they came up with TheSlap. #Victorious

From the original #Victorious pilot! Some different actors (female Hollywood Arts principal!), clothes and graphics. For the final version of the pilot, the scenes at the big showcase were re-shot nearly a year later. (No, I don't have the full pilot)

The hate Tori Vega (& Victoria Justice herself) gets is absurd. People have shifted their ‘critique’ of the character to the actress in real life which is inexcusable. They will justify their hatred for the character because ‘she wasn’t the most talented’ — was that not the premise of the show? A ‘normal girl’ joins Hollywood Arts, a school filled with extraordinary talented kids? The fact she was the lead of the show yet not ‘the most talented’ has gotten people too comfortable to insult the actress in real life in favor of her cast mates. All of this over interview clips from 15-16 years ago where she tried to not exclude any of her co-stars when answering questions. I’ll never be OK with people hating on her just to hate on her.

If actor Michael Miranda had nailed this Drake & Josh scene during run through, we might never have gotten Jerry Trainor as Crazy Steve—and later, Spencer. Michael was originally cast as Crazy Steve, but after he ended up being the wrong fit for the role, Jerry stepped in at the 11th hour, and the rest is history. What still blows my mind is that years later, Michael and Jerry ended up sharing a scene together on Wendell & Vinnie.
