iCarly

One of the greatest nick sitcoms ever. It's a hilarious show and great for families to watch together. The cast has great chemistry too and I still love this show very much.

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.

OK so you have this girl, Carly, living with her artistic brother Spencer. Carly has a best friend named Sam, when they are forced into doing their schools auditions for the talent show they see that a lot of their class mates have awesome talents. So long story short they start up some webisodes called "iCarly" were they host many wonderful and yet random talented people. This is all done with the help of Carly's annoying neighbor, Freddie, who also has a crush on Carly.

Anyway the show is a hit that is watched by thousands of people. Personally though, I think that Jerry Trainor that plays Spencer steels the show. His random lines and insane attitude makes me crack up so much. For instance in the first episode Carly asks him to lend her his camera but he can't because he made it into a squirrel.

Overall it's fun and cool and I recommend it to everyone,

OK, Nickelodeon has released many comedy shows that I don't think should even have the comedy tag, like Zoey 101, Naked Bothers Band and True Jackson VP, those show are terrible. Yet, iCarly manages to make me laugh.

First it was the show All That, then The Amanda Show, next Drake and Josh and now iCarly. All these shows are funny and good for the entire family, the reason is that all these show are created and directed by Dan Schneider. Dan Schneider is an awesome mastermind for kids comedy. Dan also did a awesome job in "What I like about you".

The iCarly show starts Miranda Cosgrove a very appealing girl who makes a good job when working on comedy. Jenette McCurdy and Nathan Kress have made cameo appearances on many shows but they are stars in this show, their future looks bright. The show iCarly sometimes doesn't make me laugh, at times it gets a little boring, sometimes I get a good laugh and sometimes I run out of breath when laughing, and mostly its really entertaining.

Lucas (the one who plays Fred on youtube) made a guest star appearance on one episode, I don't find Fred to be funny, but when the show is directed by a mastermind like Dan Schneider, you can expect great laughs. Also on many times there is a moral in the episodes, parents I recommend that your kids watch this show.

Nick has started re-running this series and it reminded me of how really solid it was from start to finish. It was a combination of three key factors - great series concept (teenage girls running their own daily webcast), fantastic ensemble casting, and really good writing show in and show out. Victorious took awhile to get going, ended up being okay, but nothing Nick in this genre has ever consistently scored like this. Maybe nothing ever scored like this in the teen genre. Miranda provides the core of the show, Freddie is the ultimate good guy without being overdone, while Sam is a unique teen show character for the ages. Like early SpongeBob, this show has amazing viewing range, my 9 year old watches it regularly now (as my 13 year old did in its first run), and I've enjoyed each episode. Unlike SpongeBob, this show ended at exactly the right time. Kudos.
