iCarly

This is a terrific series. I truly believe that this series was what really began and lifted teenage series, and inspired other series like Victorious, Henry Danger, and others. I finally watched the whole series when I was in my late twenties, and a couple of episodes made me teary. This series revealed multiple themes and the nature of the life of a teenager. It focuses on reality in order for viewers to watch and learn. Viewers easily can gain a clear perspective of the challenges of the particular age group.

I enjoyed watching this series. I experienced multiple emotions throughout the series. I learned and understood more about the image that the series is sending to the viewers. The cast really connected to the storyline. It allows them to learn about themselves as well.

iCarly captures a not-so-common life of a pre-teen girl perfectly. A smart, witty, funny girl and her best friend Sam have cool life having an awesome hobby (a TV Show), a spacious condo or apartment and her guardian is her 26 year old brother. It is one of those few shows where it's centered around a teenage girl, but guys can relate to it really well especially with the eccentric Spencer and the adorable yet sometimes annoying Freddy. I like iCarly mainly because I am a sucker for 21st century sitcoms and dramas like Drake and Josh and sometimes Zoey 101. Some of them may be girly but I love watching how kids/teens act with everyday things encountering their life. iCarly has a well rounded personality making this the best Nick sitcom in my view.

Another hit from Dan Schneider. The show is full of quirky random behavior which I find pretty funny. The acting is okay, but not great. Sam Puckett's lazy and juvenile personality is hilarious and entertaining. Carly Shay is kinda meh, but still pretty like-able. Personally, I think Miranda is a pretty decent actress, but I feel she shines best when playing an "evil" character, like Megan from Drake and Josh. Spencer Shay's falling and fire gags were entertaining at first, but became sort of tired as the show went on. Overall, the show is pretty good. Maybe some touch ups on the acting here and there, but should provide entertainment for the whole family.

I watched ICarly when it was first on, and i was really impressed at the first couple of episodes. It was funny, cute, and good-natured, and i was pretty young then, so i didn't think about it too deeply. This show has survived on Nickelodeon pretty well for about three years, and i have to give it a thumbs-up for being so popular.

First, the good things about the show: It' usually a really good show with some good humor and likable characters, and they usually try to do the right thing. If little kids are watching, they'll get a few life lessons from it. Spencer is my favorite character, next is Gibby. They, in my opinion, are what give the show most of it's fun. Some of the jokes are pretty funny, and they do a good job at keeping you entertained with most episodes. The whole idea of a girl making a web show is pretty unique, and i have to say that there hasn't been a show like this before. For the older people watching, the guys'll want to look at Carly and Sam, and some of the other girls on the show, and it is sometimes good for that. The plots of the episodes are usually pretty funny and creative, and some of them are realistic, while others aren't (but they're all fun.) I like watching this most of the time, which is where the 7 comes from.

There are bad things about this show, too. The one that i think of is that they show it too much. It's probably on Nick about eight times a day, and by then, i'm sick to death of it. Same goes for Dan Schneider's other show, Victorious. Secondly, some of the humor in the show is questionable. Sam is pretty annoying in a lot of episodes, and even Carly can be sometimes. In the episode where she wants to go to the boxing thing, and Spencer tells her no, she acts like a brat, and then when he busts her, she gets mad at him for something he says to the boxing guy. Other episodes like the fencing episode show that Carly bosses Spencer around but she can ignore him if he gets serious. In addition, the characters on this show are obsessed with texting and phones, and that gets really annoying. They've been going everywhere themselves and doing things by themselves like they're adults since the very start, even when they were, like, 13, they use the laugh track too much and they can even get away with hiring a bunch of little kids to make shirts for them! Oh, and everyone, and i mean EVERYONE knows what their show is. How does that really happen?

For the most part, i recommend this, because it's a pretty good show, although you'll probably pick up on the same things i did.

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I miss it. I was planning to write a longer review right now, but thadiusmain took the words right out of my mouth. I love this show for every reason that reviewer said. Back when this was on the air, I was in the worst spot of my life. I was a recent college grad with no job prospects and unemployed. This show was the only thing that could make me smile at that time. I'd watch it to ease my stress and just relax and disappear from the world. Of course, I do remember browsing online job sites while I watched it too, but this show kept me company when I thought the world was against me and I had virtually no self-esteem from being rejected by so many employers, so thank you for the quality entertainment throughout your 5 year run. This show will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart!
