There are questions about the theme song with Drake Bell, Dan Schneider's scrapped original idea, the episode-title 'i', the record ratings, the iParty with Victorious crossover, and the cast's lives since, from Miranda Cosgrove's Despicable Me role to Jennette McCurdy's memoir and Nathan Kress voicing a Star Wars pilot.

Every answer has been checked against the show's documented history and carries a linked source, so it holds up for a nostalgic sleepover, a trivia night or a group chat argument about Creddie versus Seddie.
