HAPPY SUPER BOWL WEEKEND KLICKNETTARS! No matter how difficult things have gotten since the year 2025 began, you can always turn to sports to take your mind off of things. Tomorrow is Super Bowl 59 taking place at 6:30PM on Fox with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are looking to win their second Super Bowl since 2018 while the Chiefs look to win their third straight Super Bowl, completely the three-peat. Here at KlicKNet, we are very excited about the big game because for the fourth straight year, we will premiere a brand new episode of FakeTV Box immediately after the first half of the Super Bowl and hopefully it will end just before the start of the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show performed by Kendrick Lamar. We will see right now that this new episode is our reaction to the official teaser trailer of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, so please do not miss it when it premieres live. If you’re looking for something interesting right now, then take a look at this week’s 5-Day Rounder which simply says…

Since we're on the subject of Super Bowl LIX, you can bet there's going to be tons of Super Bowl Commercials and Trailers to look out all throughout the game. Some thought that the trailers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps And Jurassic World: Rebirth could easily debut during tomorrow’s Super Bowl, but Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures seemed to have other ideas, and chose to show previews of their biggest summer blockbusters just days before the big game. I’m not saying that it’s a bad idea, on the contrary it’s more a good idea because their are other movies that can get some screen time on Sunday, like the Thunderbolts and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. Jurassic World: Rebirth looks like a really dope movie, and while we won’t be able to do a FakeTV Box trailer reaction episode on it, we can just show you the official trailer in our Sneak Peek of the Week

Our Inside Scoop this week concerns television, which has been responsible for broadcasting the Super Bowl for over sixty years as apart from Tubi who be will streaming the game on its service for the first time in its five-year history. I wanna point out that for next week's Inside Scoop, we're gonna be talking about Saturday Night LIVE celebrating its 50th Anniversary, but for this week, it's all about a story that kids of the late 2000s and early 2010s are going to love. Most of you know that I'm a really big fan of Nickelodeon, you can see it in the logos I've created for KlicKNet, FakeTV Box, and Wkly Hit List. The network is hugely responsible for inspiring me to become an actor, filmmaker and content creator, I rook NickCam from a private story created in high school and turned it into a 10–minute comedy short film in 2023, and here at KlicKNet, we wish to do another another short film based on the story of RhodeyNY with our independent production banner: KlicKNet Productions. Three shows on Nickelodeon that inspired to me to create NickCam and RhodeyNY were All That, iCarly, and Victorious.

Well it was first reported on Thursday by Deadline Hollywood that Nickelodeon’s Victorious could be making a comeback in the form of spinoff, but not like Sam & Cat. The working title of this spinoff is "Hollywood Arts," and according to Deadline: The series will star "Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway. Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school." Furthermore, Daniella Monet will serve as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious and was also a writer-producer on both Victorious and Sam & Cat — and Samantha Martin — who worked on Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder. The moment I read the title of this project, I almost knew what it was going to be about, and for those who may not know what Victorious is about, here's a quick summary.

Victorious premiered on Nickelodeon right after the 2010 Kids Choice Awards hosted by Kevin James,  it revolves around aspiring singer Tori Vega (played by Victoria Justice) who attends Hollywood Arts High School alongside her older sister Trina, who was a senior there, as well as Andre Harris (Leon Thomas III), Robbie Shapiro (Matt Bennett), Jade West (Elizabeth Gillies), Cat Valentine (Grande) and Beck Oliver (Avan Jogia). The comedy ran for four seasons on Nickelodeon before ended in 2013, during that time it earned two Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Children’s Program. Let's not forget that before announcing Victorious' second spinoff, Nickelodeon teamed up with Paramount+ to revived iCarly, which for three seasons from 2021–2023, though that series was canceled following a major cliffhanger in the season three finale, but Miranda Cosgrove has teased that a movie could be in the works to act as a season four. Even more so, Zoey 101 starring Jamie Lynn Spears was revived in a Paramount+ Original Movie titled Zoey 102 in 2023, and All That was revived by Nickelodeon from 2019–2020, now it looks like its Victorious' turn to make a comeback for the all kids who grew up in the '90s, 2000s, and 2010s.

A couple more things to bring up, the creator of Victorious, iCarly and Zoey 101: Dan Schneider — who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff "Hollywood Arts," though if you look at how well received the revivals for iCarly, Zoey 101 and All That, they don't really need him anyway. I think it's because those who worked alongside Dan Schneider for so many years have been able to learn from him and work in TV production from a "behind-the-scenes standpoint." Of course, the real reason most of all that Dan Schneider is not involved in any of these revivals is because his tenure with Nickelodeon has been under scrutiny for the past few years, and especially in the Investigation Discovery docu-series from last year: Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. As for "Hollywood Arts," it's too early to know whether or not any original cast members from Victorious will appear in the new spinoff, though I think they'd all be crazy not to appear, especially, singer and actress Ariana Grande who received an Oscar nomination last month. It's more than possible for Victoria Justice, whose title character on Victorious is Trina’s younger sister, to appear in "Hollywood arts," and according to Deadline Hollywood – it "would certainly make sense." We'll just have to wait and see what happens next, but this could be a sign that things are looking up for the kids network, Nickelodeon.
