1. “Victorious” (2010-2013)
Victoria Justice’s Nick show was quite popular during its run, featuring tons of music and an ensemble cast including Avan Jogia, Ariana Grande, Matt Bennett, Leon Thomas III, Daniella Monet, and Elizabeth Gillies. The times at Hollywood Arts High were filled with their ups and downs, relationships, and the growth of a cast that has become quite prominent today.
The show had a decent run for 3 seasons, and the way it ended was the most shocking as compared to how long it lasted. For all the laughs and memories “Victorious” brought, the ending was on a sour note, I felt. The final episode, “Victori-Yes”, did not emanate a goodbye vibe, and it personally left me thinking there was some unfinished business.
It was unfortunate to see the series end on essentially a “regular” episode that was not filled with any major plot twists, character decisions, or resolutions. We as fans never got to see what the end of high school brought for Justice’s character Tori Vega and her friends. However, here’s a clip showcasing one of the good times from the show:
After the abrupt ending, much of the main cast has gone on to succeed in the entertainment industry, as Jogia and Gillies have headlined other shows, while Grande and Justice have had success in the music business.
