Defending the prom inconsistency
Fans have talked about the error in terms of the prom. In the pilot, there’s this brief gag where characters talk about how Cat wanted a date to the prom the previous year, but nobody ever asked her. However, in “Prom Wrecker”, it’s revealed that Hollywood Arts has never had a prom before.
Honestly, I’m more forgiving of this continuity error. Mostly because it was the pilot episode and they obviously hadn’t mapped out the entire plot of the show. They didn’t know if Nickelodeon was even going to green-light the show when they shot it. Not to mention that shows usually change a lot of stuff after the pilot. Since the pilot was shot several months before the rest of Season 1 was and “Prom Wrecker” was in Season 2, it’s easy to assume that the person who wrote “Prom Wrecker” simply just forgot about that line in the pilot.
