User:Croissaint Boi/sandbox/Nickelodeon Series Universe (NSU)

= The Nickelodeon Series Universe (NSU) = The Nickelodeon Series Universe (NSU) is the catch-all term for the loosely defined collection of several Multiverses that exist within the singular cannon of the Nickelodeon universe across many different shows that aired on the Nickelodeon network.

Sectioned into several different universes (Such as NSU Prime, and the NSU "Fools Verse"), the collective NSU cannon is difficult to chart, seeing how within every show that is contained within it seems to exist in quantum-state with every other show in it. For Example, in the Season 2, Episode 20 episode of the original Run of ICarly (season 2) (aired September 27, 2008), the actor Victoria Justice makes an appearance as "Shelby Marx", but then, in the crossover double-length-episode "IParty with Victorious" (aired June 7th of 2011), Victorious makes an appearance as the titular Victoria Justice from the Victorious show. For reasons like this, among others, it can be quite difficult to chart out what does and does not exist relative to each show, because these things happen consistently; in the IParty with Victorious special, a line even makes reference to the character of Shelby Marx, suggesting, at least partially, that the confusing nature of the NSU is somewhat purposeful.

The Quantum-Superposition of Nickelodeon Cannon
The NSU is host to many shows, including (this list has significant potential to be updated or revised for a host of reasons) :


 * Victorious
 * ICarly
 * Drake & Josh
 * Saved by the Bell
 * Sam & Cat
 * The Amanda Show

Because of the fact that several shows as they exist on Nickelodeon, as well as their real-life counterpart actors seem to exist simultaneously for multiple shows, one of the only widely accepted possibilities for this is that they exist in quantum superposition to each other.

List of Examples

 * 1) As previously mentioned, in the Season 2, Episode 20 episode of the original Run of ICarly (season 2) (aired September 27, 2008), the actor Victoria Justice makes an appearance as "Shelby Marx", but then, in the crossover double-length-episode "IParty with Victorious" (aired June 7th of 2011), Victorious makes an appearance as the titular Victoria Justice from the Victorious show.

Christopher Kane
Christopher Kane is the name for a character within Nickelodeon Programming, that is about the existing Victorious show; hosted by Christopher Kane: a living, speaking, possibly breathing puppet, who is implied to be the In-Program actor for the Character Rex on Victorious.

The topic of whether or not the Character of Rex is supposed to be alive in Victorious, or if he's being played by Robbie, but Christopher Kane (while not outright said to have been) is heavily implied to be his own conscious entity.

iCarly & Victorious "Behind the Scenes" scenes
Throughout the seasons of both iCarly and Victorious, there are scenes and episodes where the main characters are depicted on screen as dramatized versions of their own actors; Miranda Cosgrove in iCarly being shown as

NSU "Foolsverse"
In Victorious, there was an aired episode on April Fools Day which was not likely to be considered Cannon, as it featured several visual hallucinogenic effects, odd references such as Drake Bell running into the classroom, seeing the camera, and running out, and several scenes which appear to either imply what we are seeing is non-literal, or the existence of magic in the Victorious Universe, as well as references to other media such as the Wizard of Oz. There is also a scene in this episode where a PA comes in from the set and informs an actor in the scene that they are late for the next scene, to which the story simply continues, and the character is then in said scene.

Non-Canonical Episodes & Universes
While the Cannon-Status of the Foolsverse remains up for debate, there are several entries we can semi-confidently say are non-cannon.

Christopher Kane
While it has been well established that Christopher Kane is an entirely separate entity from Rex the Puppet, it has not been outright stated that Christopher Kane's show doesn't also exist in the Victorious universe, so though not impossible, we can certainly say there is no suggestive evidence to say that this is the case.

The Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch episode of Victorious is an episode that is a direct parody of The Breakfast Club that seemingly takes place in an entirely different reality from the normal episodes of the show. This episode also takes place within the context of Christopher Kane's previously mentioned talk show.
