Victorious

Victorious


About:
Victorious is a show about a group of friends in high school. Victoria is a really good singer, and her sister, Trina, is super annoying. Victoria secretly it would appear has a crush on her friend Beck, but Beck is going out with her other friend Jade. This creates some interesting tension, especially since Jade is a snot. One of the friends carries a ventriloquist dummy around with him and pretends it is a separate person. I watched at least 5 episodes of the show, and can't really figure out why he does this. Actually, one of the episodes I watched chronicled the dummy getting hurt and staying in the hospital, and unfortunately he recovered. I watched an hour long special where Victoria sung her new hit "Freak the Freak Out" in a karaoke bar, and there was some drama. It is like a 90210, but aimed at a much younger audience, throw in some humor, and the dummy, and then you have Victorious.

Review:
My son likes this show, and lots of tween girls were explaining to me how much they love this show. However, I found it really hard to get into the show. I mean, the Beck kid is cute, and I'd kinda like to see him date Tori, but not enough to keep watching. The whole ventriloquist dummy thing? Really weirded me out. I spent 2.5 hours of my life trying to figure out why in the hell this kid is carrying around a dummy. Seriously, why? I guess I get the appeal, but this isn't one of those shows I'd actually watch *with* my tween.
