Remember the Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat? The one starring Ariane Grande and Jennette McCurdy? Well, there’s a reason it lasted for less than a season.

Right off the bat, Sam & Cat did extremely well. It featured two of Nick’s biggest stars and had a plot that was set to withstand the test of time. McCurdy and Grande played Sam and Cat, two BFFs who became roommates. Along the way, they found themselves in the midst of some hilarious situations and built a babysitting business together (which they ran after school, of course). The show was initially supposed to have only 20 episodes, but it got increased to 40 because it became one of the network’s highest-rated series.

So… why was it cancelled after only 36 episodes?

After the show’s cancellation, answers were vague. TMZ reported that Ariana was getting paid more than Jennette. Ariana then released a statement saying that this wasn’t true. Jennette didn’t attend the Kid’s Choice Awards (even though she was nominated for Best Female Actress) and explained that Nickelodeon put her in “an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation.” Fans also worried that Grande and McCurdy were feuding, especially since Ariana wrote a note about the end of the series and left Jennette’s name out of it.

To announce the show’s ending, the network simply stated, “Nickelodeon will not be producing any more episodes of ​Sam & Cat.​ We are very proud of the show and its talented cast and we wish them the best.”

Based on Jennette McCurdy’s recent interview with Vulture, it seems that many different factors influenced the show’s cancellation. But, for the most part, this television ending proved that there’s a lot of pressure surrounding teen stars – both on set and off.

Nickelodeon should've NEVER greenlighted Sam and Cat to start with in 2012, pilot filmed in Nov 2012, series actually started in Jun 2013.
Victorious should've gotten season 4 with good ending, maybe 13 episodes instead of cancelling after 3 seasons.
Overall it's all Nickelodeon's fault for this.
