[[WMG: Sonny got her own show which was insanely popular which is why Chad is on So Random.]]

[[WMG: Chad and Sonny have made a bet to see who can last the longest in each other's show]]
* This explains why Sonny ain't in So Random or why Chad ain't in [=McKenzie=] Falls.
** In one episode, Chad makes reference to still starring in Mackenzie Falls.

[[WMG: This show actually takes place before "Sonny With a Chance"]]
Yeah, I know this is out there, but its the only reason I can think of that reasonably explains where Sonny is.
** I used to believe this too, but then I remembered that in the Miss Piggy she says (during a phone call with Kermit) that "So Random, the ShowWithinaShow, is now its own show".
