I've already mentioned the series Sam & Cat in both early enteries for iCarly and Victorious, saying it was my least favourite of the three, S&C if you didn't already know is the rare thing of a spin-off of not one but two shows (which is the two shows already mentioned) taking the tough Sam (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and the dumb Cat (Arianda Grande) from Victorious.
Both of there previous shows did at one point have a big extended cross over but apparently neither met at the party at Kenan Thompson's house (I should be ashamed for knowing that) if the pilot has you believe, well Sam has found her way to L.A. since iCarly ended since Carly moved to Italy with her Dad and Cat is living with her Grandmother (which was actually covered in Victorious) and still attends Hollywood Arts (though she doesn't socialize with them anymore after school apparently save when Robbie and Jade showed up for a two-parter with iCarly's Freddie), anyway after saving Cat's life, Sam is invited to stay over the night and it turns out her Grandmother (or Nona) babysits the neighbourhood kids and is keen to move into Elderly Acres, yadda yadda Sam ends up movin in and the pair take over and start a babysitting business.
#MagicAtm (every episode title started with a #) was the 21st episode of the shows only (35 episode) season, the cause of only one season is up for debate with many people believing there was tension between the leads (denied by both with them both saying they had desire to move on to other projects) and it as Cat typing the tune of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" in a store's ATM and essentially givin her "free" money, the two of course have a big spend but it catches up with them.
A slight sit-com plot if there ever was one with the girls never actually getting true commpuance for anything they do (which is par the course with Sam), the store owner catches them doing using the ATM and gets the police involved, the main cop played by Scott Baio, oh yeah back track they had to pick up monkey pills for Dice and when they end up in the back of the police car, officer Baio ends up taking those pills and passing out and then Sam ends up taking over the driving in a police car and roughs up and captures a criminal - which even though we don't see the criminal is not surprising since Sam regularly beat up people twice the size of her, and faced with having to payback the money it turns out they get to claim the reward for capturing the criminal and end up after paying back the debt up in cash, so the lesson is, erm... I'm not sure and Cat even outright says "yeah we learn't nothing!".
So a silly episode of a show that often veered that way (more so then it's parents shows) which suggests to me that the show with 14 episodes together was already starting to run on fumes, it's watchable though.
