Sleepover at Sikowitz's




Sleepover At Sikowitz's


    I was initially looking forward to this episode. I was longing for a plot that takes place outside of the school and can branch out it's jokes and themes while also centering in on the main group.

   It's not great. Sikowitz- thinking his class is composed of garbage actors, invites the 6 most attractive and trendy ones into his house to sleep there overnight. I assume this is something that happens in private schools.
        
                Each member of the group gets a "silly role" they have to act out, with breaking character meaning they get kicked out of the house. That's about it. The entire episode leans on the premise of "silly characters" and therefore doesn't have any meaningful or witty conversation.

   The B-Plot is all the 'losers' (Starting with Robbie) barging into Tori's house while her parents try to rail. 

    I don't know. I don't want to say it's badly thought out. It's just not for me. This entire show isn't, but in particular this episode. A lot of 'well-renown' nick/teen nick shows (Spongebob, Drake and Josh, etc) are so popular because they appeal to nearly anyone aged 5-23~. This episode seems like it's targeting the lower half of the spectrum.

8/10
