As we all know, Sam & Cat got the greenlight to become a full series, however, Gibby unfortunately never got past the pilot stage.
Created by iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat creator Dan Schneider, Gibby would have featured Gibby getting a new job at The Bixby (aka The Bix), a recreational center where kids of all ages hang out, socialize, play sports and take unique classes. Gibby becomes a mentor to four quirky middle-schoolers, helping them break out of their shells and embrace life in true "Gibbehhh" style. The unaired pilot was filmed during summer 2012.
