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.

The writing in season 3 of the revival was some of the best in the entire series.

That fight between Carly and Freddie particularly was so raw and real. It was extremely good writing, mature and emotional. Very well done episode and it makes me upset that they canceled this show at its peak.

An Alternate Ending To The iCarly Revival

Even though the show was cancelled and we never got to find out who Carly’s mom was, I think a nice alternate ending would be after Carly says mom, the mom from Drake and Josh appears and says hey Megan. It probably wouldn’t have made since to call her Megan and not Carly but still I think it would have been a nice ending.

Cat’s Nonna?

Rewatching revival and wondering, is the “nonna” S1 E12 supposed to be Cat from Victorious/ Sam and Cat’s Nonna? Maybe Wes (guy Carly is dating) is her brother? I realize it’s not either of their personalities but maybe they changed them? Maybe this that had to be picked up on?

Remember when Sam and the gang ran a child labor business and got away with it?

I know it’s just a TV show and all, but this is wild even for Sam’s standards. I am more likely to envision Jade doing this kind of thing lol.

Millicent Adoption Plot

Alright, I need help understanding something. When exactly did Freddie adopt Millicent? I can’t figure out what the deal is with her not calling him dad at first

Anyone else not love season 2 of the revival?

So I'm currently watching the new series and I'm a little more than halfway through season 2. I found season 1 to be mostly decent. A little hit or miss at times but mostly entertaining. With season 2 however, I enjoyed the first couple episodes. Mostly the Lewbert episode which was one of my favorites but ever since then I haven't really been feeling any of the episodes. Most of it's just felt like filler. The most recent episode I saw was the drag queen episode which is probably the worst one yet. I'm hoping it picks up.

The best thing each character has done

I thought it’d be worth bringing some positivity in this thread

Freddie: hijacking the cameras recording Carly and Sam’s wacky communication with the Japanese police, not only getting out of their confinement but also winning the web awards

Sam: risked her life to save Freddie from the killer tuna

Gibby: fought Nora and saved his kidnapped friends

Spencer: saved Carly and Sam’s lives from that dangling platform outside Bushwell

What are some other good things from those characters you can think of?

Did anyone really hated that bully girl in imakesamgirlier?

Like she was worse than Sam ngl even tho she beats up Freddie a lot but that character just seems way worse than Sam like who else agrees like the way Sam screamed her anger at her was very satisfying

iCarly is the only live action Nickelodeon show to have aired when The Last Airbender & Legend of Korra aired.

By aired, I mean new episodes, not reruns.

The mid-2000s to early-2010s had many great Nick shows. But very few lasted longer than 3 years. iCarly was an outlier. It aired from 2007-2012. In the first season it aired (2007-2008), the final season of Avatar: the Last Airbender aired. Coincidentally, in its last season (2012), the first season of Legend of Korra aired in that same calendar year. All of these shows are part of the Nick network.

Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob are the only other Nick shows that aired new episodes between the overlap of both Avatar shows. I wanted to include iCarly only because it has some sort of overlapping storyline. The other live actions that aired did not have any overlapping years of both Avatar shows. It really puts into perspective the longevity of the original iCarly. Not only that but also the changing culture from mid-2000s to early 2010s.

I wonder if anyone else remembers this

Ok so once when I was 7 I was watching one of the icarly specials (i cant remember which one), and there was one part when Spencer and one of the other cast members were sitting on the couch and in between them was some tough guy movie star (im thinking like Liam Neeson or something) and they were watching tv or something, and i swear on my life Liam Neeson said "well fuck". I swear im not making this up cause i remember being confused about it and rewinding the scene for the next half an hour. And I've seen this episode more than once so i know somebody somewhere has to know what i'm talking about

It’s pretty odd how Gibby and Spencer didn’t get cool prosthetic disguises in IParty with Victorious

Carly Sam and Freddie got them on because they were trying to avoid being recognized. Was the makeup artist too lazy to work on two more guys?

Specific Episode Help

I’m trying to find an episode with a certain clip. From what I can remember they are having a talking show where people can send in their videos and on kid sends in a video of his turtle saying it can roll over. A hand them reaches in the frame and rolls the turtle over. Anybody have any ideas on what episode this could be? Thanks.

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.
