The man who produced Victorious, Sam and cat, Icarly and so on. But if you have really been paying attention to Dan Schneider you would know that he has TRAUMATIZED every one of third actors for each show even Jamie Lynn spears has had some horrible things done to her by DAN SCHNEIDER!!! I don’t know why you would let you kid watch a show made by someone who is a groomer

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (30):
Kids say (63):

The Slap.com is heavily promoted on its companion television show Victorious, so tween and teen fans of the show will be eager to log on. Once there, however, there's not a lot to keep their attention. Sure, viewers will enjoy seeing more of Tori and her classmates. Perhaps they'll feel like they're personally connected to their favorite show characters and the Hollywood Arts High School. They may even experience a sense of community among other fans. But there's not much to learn or discover other than some show clips, brief blogs, and a variety of posts. Fans searching for a more meaningful connection to the characters (and the actors who portray them) or substantial insight into the show probably won't leave feeling very victorious.

Online interaction: Registered users are encouraged to comment on posts, blogs, music, and videos. The comments are typically simple and sweet ("oh, ur so funny!").

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
