It’s 2010. With silly bands on her wrist and a McDonald’s Kids Bop CD in her hand, freshman Reya Yeddula turns on the TV to fnd Tori Vega on her screen dancing on stage at Hollywood Arts. Now, it is Nov. 2019 and Yeddula opens her phone and fnds Victorious on her Netfix home page. Suddenly, Webkinz and happy meals do not seem so far away.

On Nov. 4, 2019, three seasons of Nickelodeon’s hit TV series “Victorious” debuted on Netfix. All of the episodes of the show were not available prior to Netfix’s reboot of the show. It immediately struck the interest of viewers in over 190 countries.

“Victorious” stars 16-year-old Tori Vega (Victoria Justice). She has been invited to attend a performing arts school, Hollywood Arts. While the invitation came as a surprise, Tori needs to adjust to her new environment through unnaturally choreographed dances and upbeat bops.

“There was no work in the show, it was just all performances, but in real life, there is a lot of work and homework and tests,” Yeddula said.

Yeddula reminisces about her days of watching the show. But, she realizes Hollywood Arts is not an accurate representation of high school. High school is not improv classes taught by barefooted hippie teachers.

“It’s nothing like high school,” Yeddula said. “Everyone in the show sings and dances, but in reality, it’s not like that.”

REGULAR SHOW “I remember when Pops died and that kind of scarred me. But other than that I loved Mordecai, and Rigby and that was pretty cool.”

JESSIE “I watched it with friends and we laughed, I liked the plot and it was funny. Luke was my childhood crush.”

“It taught me a lot of math and I like the color yellow. I thought The Man in the Yellow Hat was cute. I mean cute personality, what else were you thinking?”
