First, it was revealed that the ht Nickelodeon show "iCarly" wouldn't be returning next season, and now the network has announced the cancellation of the popular "Victorious," starring Victoria Justice and a gaggle of teens. 

The final 15 episodes of "Victorious" will air this fall.

“Nickelodeon will not be moving forward with production on a fourth season of 'Victorious' following the final season that will premiere this fall,” the network said in a press release. “We are very proud of the show, its very talented cast, and our audience will continue to see many of them in upcoming new Nickelodeon projects.”

Meanwhile, Nick recently announced that they've ordered two new "iCarly" spin-offs,  "Sam & Cat" and "Gibby," both produced by "Victorious" creator Dan Schneider.

Schneider took to twitter to address fans of the show."By now, a lot of you have heard that 'Victorious' will not be returning for a 4th season. That is true. This was the network’s decision – not mine. It’s not unusual for a Nick show to do a run of just 60 episodes. I would love to have made more than 60 of 'Victorious,' but that’s how it usually goes."

He added, "I know that some of you are upset and angry – and while I feel terrible about that, I’m also flattered by it. I really appreciate that you care so much. It means you love the show, which makes me feel very proud."

      Smith I don't know if you're "supposed" to know, but it does say right in the article that he's the creator & producer of the show.

      But keep trying the snarky thing. It's working great for you.

    HOORAYNOMOREVICTORIOUS

    HOORAY! Every time my nephew would turn it to this show I would cringe. The the bad acting, the desperate attempts at show boating the casts singing, then token nincompoop who is so stupid you wonder how the heck they got to high school in the first place, and the fact that the teenagers get away with smarting off to adults annoyed me so much. To make a long story short one stinky show down several more to go!

      Keyshla The part about the teenagers getting away with outsmarting their parents is very true but it was one of the shows of this generation on nick that was cool

    I always thought iCarly was a great show, good humor and acting, no sappy morality lessons at all, just comedy.
    Then I watched Victorious and I can't believe the same guy made that too. Boring, unconvincing unrealistical characters, lame stories, too much drama and bad jokes, and the need to do songs is cringeworthy.

    I loved both the shows! Those were the only two good shows on nickelodeon! This schneider guy can't seem to keep shows..iCarly was the only one that was on for a good period of time. Please bring atleast Victorious back!!! I know Amanda Cosgrove is going to college so no hope for iCarly..I'm seriously going to miss these shows!! :(
