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.

Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor have both unfollowed the Nickelodoen and iCarly Twitter Accounts…

So chances for the #WeWantiCarlyS4 to revive the Already revived iCarly series 5 months ago, won’t be happening anytime soon.

Relating to the Dan Schneider situation and “I’m Glad My Mom Died”: I don’t entirely condemn someone if they took the hush money

So Jennette had stated she she was offered $300K to not talk about what happened on Nickelodeon. Considering that NDA’s that attempt to cover up crime are considered illegal and void, someone could’ve very well taken the money and exposed everything happening anyway. Granted, it’d be a lot more legal trouble going through the process of proving that what happened is a crime, it’s still feasible. Jennette also stated that at the time she was offered the money, she admitted that the amount she was making wasn’t enough to scoff at $300K. Chances are some people were offered more or less money than she was, and that the amount of money they made working relative to the offer was probably not enough to justify turning it down, especially if god forbid the actors weren’t in the best financial situations.

Not to mention, people could at least implicitly convey the disturbing aspects of what happened. Jerry Trainor was a great example of this. While he never EXPLICITLY talked about what happened behind the scenes, he was always supportive of Jennette when she did. Whenever Dan or someone else preyed on the kids, he always found ways to intervene. Then he immediately cut ties with Nickelodeon once “Quiet on Set” released. The fact that Jennette has only good things to say about him, publicly at least, shows that he was a responsible adult who looked after the kids.

It doesn’t change the fact that Jennette very much did the right thing. If anything, it makes her more commendable. If not taking the money meant that more stories like hers can come to light much faster, then I’m glad she didn’t take it, especially since “I’m Glad My Mom Died” did so well. Business practices like hush money should not even exist, so her not taking the money meant she could expose this in the first place.

It also doesn’t change the fact that some people who were offered the money probably didn’t need it. We can’t make concrete judgments on those who might have taken the money.

Dan Schneider's weird Relationships on the Icarly set

Comments on the "Quiet on Set" and Boog!e Interview (Spoiler Alert)

Just to let you know, I have seen all four episodes of "Quiet on Set" and the Boog!e interview. And my first impression was that they used the first 2 episodes as clickbait to beat up on Dan Schneider, because this was all recycled material. The only new pieces are the interviews with female writers that were offended by off color remarks that made them feel uncomfortable. This is obviously inexcusable; however, I know some comedy writers and they say that this the SOP in pretty much every writing room. There were some actors from "All That" who were offended by some of the material but didn't say anything at the time because of Dan's hard-charging, verbally abusive behavior. Again, not excusable but not new either. One actor and his Mom skirted around a "racist" accusation, but never came out and said it, so that narrative seemed to be pushed by the documentarians that didn't bear fruit. Lastly, they reference Jennette McCurdy's book for a bit as well. As such, if you are pressed for time, I'd skip that part and get to the pedos that were on set (Mostly episodes 3 and 4).

The next part was such a gut punch that I couldn't believe what I was hearing, especially with the Voice/Acting coach that groomed and sexually abused Drake Bell. What's even worse is all of the Hollywood celebs that supported him in court (e.g. James Marsden) even after he admitted what he did. THEN, after this guy did 16 months in jail and registered as a sex offender, DISNEY HIRED HIM FOR SEVERAL SHOWS!!! This all made the Dan Schneider material look mild by comparison.

Lastly, the Boog!e interview of DS was completely run by Dan. He does seem apologetic but you can't help but feel manipulated by him by the whole production of the interview (which was how he was at Nickelodeon as well...so no surprises really). He clearly approached Boog!e to do this (contrary to what Boog!e says at the outset), and I'm sure they practiced this a few times. There were a few things that stood out to me that haven't really been discussed about the sexualization material. There was a entire group of executives as well as lawyers in Standards & Practices that reviewed the shows every week, and they all signed off on the shows. And with all of the parents on set, according to the documentary, only 1 parent every said anything...and it was about the Fear Factor dares on "All That." Now...I get that the parents didn't want to speak up to not be a problem (so their kids could keep working), but I would have thought the documentarians could have at least gotten SOME testimony from parents on this.

Anyway, I came away from this without any real change in my opinion about Dan. If I'm to play pocket psychologist, my sense is that Dan grew up as an unpopular kid who then injected himself into the mix with all of the "cool kids" on set and that was why he was so close to them on set. He certainly played favorites as well, which other showrunners do as well, I'm sure. I'm just surprised, no one is raising a stink about celebrities siding with an admitted pedophile in court, and Disney hiring A CONVICTED UNDERAGE SEX OFFENDER!

Happy to hear others' thoughts as well.

I am convinced I wrote an episode of icarly

So when icarly came out I was 10 or 11. I was OBSESSED with the show. I would even go on their little website all the time and at one point, I found a part of the website where they asked fans to send input for the show. And me being a bored imaginative tween I sent them an idea I had for an entire episode.

My idea was that they do an episode where Lewbert gets hurt during a prank gone wrong. And then the gang feels guilty and takes it upon themself to take care of him while he heals. Sound familiar? I don’t remember all the details of what I wrote. I do know I was really amused and by the oddness of lewbert on the show and talked about how it would be interesting to get an insight of what his own place would look like.

I still remember to this day when I was watching Nickelodeon at my grandmothers house one night and an ad for a new episode of icarly came on and the plot they described was THE EXACT PLOT I had written to them about. I even told my grandma about it but she dismissed me with a “oh that’s nice sweetie”.

No, I don’t have any proof of the message I sent them but I still think about it from time to time. I mean sure maybe it’s just a coincidence and someone on the writers team thought the same idea up. But I’m still totally convinced that I wrote an episode of icarly.

I just wonder if someone really did read my message and take it and ran with it. I wonder who. I will never know for sure. I also wonder if they did this with other messages they got from fans.

Regarding the revival….

Any chance of it realistically coming back has to be dead, right? Nickelodeon at one point had active pedophiles and child predators on their sets under their employment at one time. That to me is 1000X more damning than Dan Schneider being a racist, sexist, creepy asshole(not trying to down play DS at all).And it’s probably actually the main reason why the revival is not coming back. Very much doubt the cast(and their agents) will want to associate/work aside the network after the general public now knows about the aforementioned.

boogie (t-bo's actor) has comments turned off on the danterview

idk if they were off when it was posted but that's makes me side-eye a bit

i'm like 5 mins into the vid rn but it really makes me feel like dan's just being given a platform to try to cover his own ass or deflect blame, even with boogie stating the seriousness of the allegations

B00G!e (t-bo) interviews dan for the hollywood reporter about the quiet on set docuseries

have u guys checked this out? thoughts?

https://preview.redd.it/nceao7uaddpc1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8e046acb9550c09429eb214df3c96e91359753f

i like how t-bo didnt really sugarcoat things at the start of this interview and was direct about the allegations and made it known what was important, dan sucks though, he really is minimising things and they dont seem to identify dans actual predatory behaviour, especially his behaviour with the victorious cast on set, theres a lot of blame shifting and "its for kids", "i dont know"

The actor that played T-Bo probably didn't do the Revival since he's buddies with Dan Schneider

He interviewed Dan today on Dan's YouTube channel. So its safe to assume they are buddies in real life. The interview was to give Dan a platform to defend himself against the allegations that have been coming forward from the "Quiet on Set" documentary.

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV

Recommended for anyone who loved iCarly as a child/teen. Exactly this mini-documentary series tells us about what happened backstage, how the actors were treated and what abomination was hidden behind it all. I saw the first two episodes last night and I'm a little shocked. I looked at the plots of the series and the jokes that shouldn't be in children's and teenage series in a completely different way.

Theory: Spencer does drugs

Was watching iCarly S1 with my bf earlier and realized that Spencer probably is always under the influence of drugs, always. I've thought about this before but today I confirmed it The final seasons' Spencer was very chill and more calmed down, so either he was not at drugs at all at that point or he was smoking very little weed. The middle seasons' Spencer was also probably on weed but he was more of a stoner but I also have the impression he could be drunk. The earlier Spencer was probably on meth lmao guy was insane

Have we ever seen Socko?

I mean, he would have been a really goofy character, even if he appeared once or twice in the entire show

Carly and Freddie Avert The Easily Forgiven Trope

Do you think it was brilliant or decent story writing that Carly and Freddie refuse to forgive Nora Dershlit after what she did to them in the past when they meet her again for the first time since "iStill Psycho" in "iHate Carly"?

The documentary

Does anyone think there is a possibility any of the icarly cast would appear? Such as Miranda maybe? I know Jennette wrote her book and talks about her experiences in it, so maybe she could also be someone to appear. I don’t really see Nathan being in it. Several articles have said that there would be cast and crew members from icarly and other shows, but they don’t specify who. I think it’s odd that Miranda and Jerry haven’t said anything about the show being canceled, and I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the documentary.

Harper has terrible taste in partners

She definitely likes the obnoxious, spoiled girls (going from Dutch to Tinsley)

Shane Shouldn't Have Survived His Fall in "iSaw Him First"

Shane shouldn't have been able to survive his fall in "iSaw Him First". Do you think Shane should've remained as a one-shot character instead of returning in "iReunited and It Felt Okay"?

I noticed some episodes seemed to be reused plots from older Schneider's Bakery shows

iPear Store: This is a recycled Movie Job from Drake and Josh. The character gets a job at a place they wanted to work, the co-star also gets the job but overshadows the other character without even trying, and the manager is harsh. Drake and Josh's episode was better as it had a happier ending with Drake helping Josh keep his job.

iPity the Nevel: This seems loosely similar to Anger Management from Zoey 101. A teenage character is mean to a child and it goes viral. Except unlike Zoey 101, the episode focused solely on restoring the character's popularity.

iEnrage Gibby: This one seems very similar to Drake and Josh's, Believe Me Brother. A character thinks another character is sharing affections with their girlfriend even though it is a misunderstanding and they just came in at a bad time. They bear ill towards the other guy until they see proof on camera that it did not happen the way they thought.
