iCarly is a Nickelodeon sitcom starring Miranda Cosgrove that ran from 2007 to 2012, with a revival now streaming on Paramount+!

iCarly is an American teen sitcom created by Dan Schneider that originally aired on Nickelodeon from September 8, 2007, to November 23, 2012. The series stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor, and Noah Munck. The series tells the story of Carly Shay, a teenager who creates her own web show called iCarly with her best friends Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson in the apartment loft that she and her older brother Spencer Shay live in. As the web show quickly becomes an internet phenomenon, the youngsters are tasked with balancing their normal teenage lives with the wacky situations their newfound fame lands them in.

In 2021, the series was revived for the streaming platform Paramount+. Set nine years after the events of the original series, Carly Shay has moved back to Seattle, where she shares an apartment with her roommate Harper. Carly's older brother Spencer has become a wealthy artist after accidentally creating a renowned sculpture. Following two divorces and a failed tech start-up, Freddie Benson has moved back to live with his mother, accompanied by his adopted 11-year-old stepdaughter Millicent. When Carly decides to relaunch her iCarly webshow, she receives help from Spencer, Freddie, and her new friends.

Question! Is the revival still going on or there will be an future revival?

I've seen posts here such like "Socko should appear in the revival" or "Famous will meet Carly on revival", is it about the 2020 revival?

Icarly fanfiction

So I'm currently writing an iCarly fanfiction. I'm nervous as heck about it but it's a story I'm passionate about. Does anyone have any tips of things I shouldn't write if I don't want to get torn to pieces?

I like how people are not giving on Icarly.

I like how icarly had like 6 seasons. to start with. I thought that is really cool, cause there's not many shows that have that up to 6 seasons.

Then there is a revival, which has 3 more seasons. Which is wicked cool as well.

AND NOW there is a movie!!!

From a big Icarly fan, i am happy people are not giving up on Icarly!

Splash Face Alert

Saw this website around here that resembles Splash Face, I created an acc and less people were using so why not spread it? I see its potential and I kinda miss the 2008 nostalgia when splash was still existing 😮‍💨

I’m about to finish the OG season, should I go straight to the revival?

Not gonna fan girl but

Just wondering if I should watch Sam and cat beforehand or possibly “quiet on set”

Or if I should wait, since the conclusion for the revival has been confirmed. So start watching when that comes out

Wendy's Disappearance

I wondered what happened to her. She disappeared after season 2. It would have been nice if we saw her in the later seasons since she was a friend to Carly and Sam. She was such an interesting background character, and I love her interactions with the iCarly characters. I wonder why she stopped appearing.

This is driving me INSANE

In Miranda Cosgroves’ interview with WIRED on YouTube she says something about getting a tattoo of Kacey Musgraves on her foot in one of the episodes. I’ve watched the whole revival front and back (though it’s been a good while) and I do NOT remember this: what episode was it in?? Is it even true? I also remember seeing someone say something back when Kacey’s album “star-crossed” came out that they talk about it in the show and compare it to Beyoncé’s Lemonade, which I don’t remember either. Am I gullible or did this actually happen?? I can’t find anything about it online.

I don’t want movie

I’ve already mentioned this in another comment, but I don’t want a movie, here’s why

  1. Movies are short and there’s only soo much you can cover within a 90 min timeframe. Everything will be/feel rushed.

  2. They left us on a cliffhanger that’s part of the biggest mysteries on iCarly, Carly’s mom. How can they explain all that and still have a really good Creddie moment in such a time frame. There’s a lot of questions that are still not going to be able to get answered because, again, they’re only soo much they can do

I know we should be grateful and happy that we’re at least getting something. But how can I when I feel like they’re just doing a quick fan service to shut us up. I mean, if they were to give us another season, that would also be a fan service, but at least with another season, it’ll be well thought out.

Solving the mystery of Carly’s mom and finally meeting her deserves more than 90 minutes. Especially if it’s being shared with other plots/storylines. They’re probably going to make Carly and Spencer easily forgive her as if she didn’t walk out on them. Creddies ending will also feel rushed too. Like a “and they live happily ever after, the end” type of vibe.

Also, why are people so convinced it’s a movie. Have any of the casts said that’s what it’ll be? Cuz the most I’ve heard, they’ve only said they’re looking to wrap it up, it doesn’t mean it’ll be a movie. I want people to stop saying that’s what it’ll be, cuz if whoever’s in charge of providing that wrap up see people saying it’ll be a movie, they’ll have us settle for one, even if it’s not what they originally intended. Let’s not settle for a movie.

I’m not asking for a S5, S6, S7 and so on. I’m only asking for a S4. One more season to REALLY AND FULLY wrap everything up. I’ve seen many times on this subreddit back when the show was airing people complaining how a 10 episode per season wasn’t even enough, what makes you think a 90 minute movie will be.

Like I stated, I should be grateful that they’re at least giving us something, which I am……kinda, but Ik it won’t be the same quality as another full season.

About Sam...

This is a very long post, and I still feel that I haven't fully posted what I wanted to say.

I know I talked about Sam several times before, and it's common here these days to rag on her for being "problematic" (I used to do this a lot too). But ever since I've tried not to equate fiction too much with real-life standards, I've been going back to enjoy her character again. She had a lot of iconic and funny savage moments, especially if they involved her butter sock. Her love for food is also relatable, and I like her biker aesthetic during the later seasons. While Sam not being an honorable citizen was what made her appealing, I also liked her in Sam and Cat, where she helped more than she harmed. If for nothing else you gotta appreciate Jenette's great acting for what she's been going through at the time. I'm more of a Spencer kind of guy these days, but I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that Sam was at some point a favorite of mine (her and Freddie, whom I thought was massively underrated; I kind of shipped Seddie at some point).

I know one point we criticize her character for is how she constantly harasses or assaults Freddie (or Gibby when they were dating). This is not unreasonable since a lot of her actions reflected how female-on-male abuse was seen in real life at the time. Nevertheless, in the context of the iCarly world, a lot of absurd cartoonish slapstick nonsense happened, and nobody was blameless about their conduct. She can go too far occasionally (the iMeetFred situation for example), but I gotta admit that some of her banter against Freddie was kind of funny (like when she whacked him with a baseball bat when he was wearing a Freddie Fazbear costume). These days I'm more complaining about Freddie not fighting back as often as he should've; would've loved to see more scenes where he also hits her.

Now, as tiring as the whole anti-Sam slander has gotten in this sub, I'll admit I still have that kind of love-hate relationship with her, particularly when it comes to writing issues. I don't like how often she got her way without even trying, nor how relatively little accountability or humbling she faced throughout the series aside from iKiss. Part of the reason why I found it easier to accept and relate with Jade was that she wasn't totally omnipotent (she loses at times), barely got her way despite how much effort she put in, and was always portrayed as a villain so it didn't feel like they sugarcoated her. There's also an issue when people glamorize or justify Sam's actions as if she was some sort of victim who doesn't know from good and bad. I don't buy this idea, because along with how often she wins, there's also a stark contrast with how she treats Spencer, Carly, and other guys she crushed on vs Freddie and Gibby.

In spite of these critiques, I'm trying not to let them get in the way while I watch the show. My problem with a lot of discourses of fiction nowadays is that we equate too much with real-life morals, and are often overwhelmingly negative, focusing too much on the "mean-spirited" aspects. This was more of a problem with Victorious during the early COVID era, particularly the trending videos containing compilations of "Jade or Beck being toxic gf/bf," Cat's mentally unstable brother, creepy Schneider feet moments, and of course, all those "Tori is the worst because she kissed other boyfriends" (the latter I found especially irritating partly because they actually went their way to harm Victoria's reputation). It's also important to remember iCarly and other Schneider sitcoms were made for children or tweens in mind, not for us hip young adults to overanalyze with pop psychology. I used to do that a lot, and it can be fun to read rants or analyses, but it went to the point where it pretty much ruined some of the fun of the entertainment that I used to love. I have a hard time going back to reading threads that I used to post.

To be honest, back then I didn't care too much about Sam being "abusive" or Carly being "manipulative" or Freddie being an obsessive simp or whatnot (maybe I did care about Megan being a psychopath); I just appreciated these shows. And even when I did find something mean-spirited when I was young (I hated that Theater Thug ending even back then), I wouldn't go to a forum and make a 6 paragraph rant about why x was "problematic;" I would've just hated that moment and moved on. Fictional entertainment like this primarily exists for escapism from reality.

I came across a post on r/drakeandjosh, and it made me realize that there's always going to be some mean-spiritedness, and it's fine if we don't like them, but it's not like we can do much about it, and those instances usually only take up a small fraction of the entire medium. Remember that the original iCarly with Sam ended over a decade ago; what exactly are we gaining with these rants? Rather than let these moments ruin it for us, we should focus more on what we love about the show just like we used to. Likewise, there are a lot of other aspects of Sam's character you can still enjoy that aren't just her being "abusive." I think every character is enjoyable if you don't nitpick too much on their flaws.

tldr: I'm loving Sam again, some hatred against her is valid and she has some genuine writing issues, not a huge fan of constant negative discourses nowadays especially when it comes to Sam or Carly, we should focus more on genuinely enjoying the show than pinpointing the "problematic" aspects

Miranda Cosgrove confirms iCarly revival (possibly a movie)

Just saw Miranda Cosgrove do an interview on The Talk where she confirmed iCarly will return to address the cliffhanger the show ended on. They pryed out of her that it might be a movie as well.

I’m excited, I thought the revival show was great and they were just getting into their groove when it got cancelled. Would love the show to get a proper goodbye

My Couch seddie fanfic?

There used to be this fanfic called My Couch on fanfiction.net at least ten years ago, which was sort of told through Spencer's POV seeing seddie's relationship grow on his couch over many years. It was sooooooo good but I can't find it anywhere anymore! Does anyone know what happened to that fic?

Kai Cenat Meets Miranda Cosgrove A Collision of Two Worlds!

So, I just saw that Kai Cenat and Miranda Cosgrove met, and I’m honestly kind of fascinated by the dynamic. It’s crazy how two people from totally different sides of the entertainment world can collide like this.

On one hand, you have Kai Cenat, who’s blown up as a major streamer and influencer on Twitch/YouTube, representing the new wave of internet culture and social media-driven fame. On the other hand, you’ve got Miranda Cosgrove, who’s been a household name for years, mainly from her role in iCarly and other Nickelodeon projects. She’s part of the older TV/film world, and even though she’s still active, her fame is rooted in a totally different era.

I can only imagine the reaction from fans of both! It’s like mixing nostalgia (for those who grew up on iCarly) with the newer, meme-driven, online personality-driven fame that Kai represents. It’s a weird but cool fusion of old-school TV stars meeting today’s internet-driven influencers.

What do you all think? Was this a moment that shows the intersection of old-school TV fame and new-age social media influence? Or is it just a random crossover that means nothing? Either way, it was a pretty surreal moment seeing them together, in my opinion!
