ICarly

iCarly is an American teen sitcom that ran on Nickelodeon from September 8, 2007 until November 23, 2012. The series, created by Dan Schneider, focuses on teenager Carly Shay, who creates her own web show called iCarly with her best friends Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson. The show stars Miranda Cosgrove as Carly, Jennette McCurdy as Sam, Nathan Kress as Freddie, Jerry Trainor as Spencer, and Noah Munck as Gibby, and was taped at Nickelodeon on Sunset (Season 1–5) and KTLA Studios (Season 6) in Hollywood, California. The show was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Children's Program five times. The series finale, "iGoodbye", aired on November 23, 2012.

In December 2020, Nickelodeon announced an adult-based revival of the series that got released on June 17th, 2021 (streaming now) on Paramount+, with all of the original cast members (except for Jennette McCurdy and Noah Munck) reprising their roles in the revival.

Original Series
Carly Shay finds her previously "normal" life turned upside down when her Internet show, "iCarly," becomes an instant smash with young Web heads. With her parents traveling abroad, Carly must rely on the help of friends Sam and Freddie, and her quirky older brother, Spencer, to cope with the newfound success.

Revival Series
Carly, Spencer and Freddie are back, navigating the next chapters in their lives and facing the uncertainties of life in their 20s.

Bad Qualities
Freddie's mother, Marissa Benson, is extremely overbearing and overprotective. She does redeem herself in the revival series, thankfully.
 * 1) Many bad episodes, including:
 * 2) *iDon't Want to Fight
 * 3) *iMeet Fred (the most infamous)
 * 4) *iKiss
 * 5) *iGo Nuclear
 * 6) *iDate a Bad Boy
 * 7) *iMust Have Locker 239
 * 8) *iSell Penny-Tees
 * 9) *iPity the Nevel
 * 10) *iDate Sam & Freddie
 * 11) *iCan’t Take It
 * 12) *iPear Store
 * 13) Some of the characters are pretty unlikable (although most of them are supposed to be hated):
 * 14) *Sam constantly tortures Freddie throughout the show, mostly in the earlier seasons. Luckily, their friendship has improved later on, but their romantic relationship failed.
 * 1) *Lewbert Sline is the annoying, short-tempered, and loudmouth doorman (with a large wart on his face) of the building where Carly, Spencer, Freddie and his mother all live in.
 * 2) *Ms. Francine Briggs and Mr. Marty Howard, the iCarly gang's school teachers, have overly strict demeanors and mistreat the students for no discernible reason.
 * 3) The jokes are not funny, and some come off as cringeworthy, immature and rather stereotypical. A good example would be random hair.
 * 4) The next show, Sam & Cat is even worse and a step-down from the original show.
 * 5) The show wasn’t safe from losing quality in its final 3 seasons.
 * 6) Seasons 4 and 5 are the worst seasons of the show, since Season 4 has less episodes and plots that feel a little rushed. Romance also started to pop up in small amounts. The end of the season started the "Seddie arc" in "iOMG".
 * 7) *Season 5 focuses more on romantic relationships than the show's original purpose (comedy), and the humor is drastically watered down. The "Seddie" arc is also terrible.
 * 8) Season 6 is even worse than the first three seasons (although slightly better than the last two seasons of the original show) due to romance still popping up every now and then.
 * 9) Since Sam eats a lot throughout the show, this caused Jennette McCurdy, the person who played Sam, to have an eating disorder in real life, and Jennette even admitted that she had an eating disorder because of this as well. This was also one of the reasons as to why Jenette McCurdy quit her acting career as well.
 * 10) The segment with Jojo the Gigantic Baby on the iCarly web show is disgusting and unsettling as he’s really just a baby head photoshopped onto an obese man’s body.
