Show Summary

  • Returning Series

Carly is a teenager who lives with her 29 year old brother and guardian Spencer, and produces her own web show, iCarly, from a studio she constructed in the her apartment. She does this not because she is looking for fame or fortune, but because she wants to be a good role model for kids and teens, along with her brother and their three neurotic friends Freddie, Sam, and Gibby. "iCarly" makes TV history as the first series to incorporate kid-generated original content into its script.

    This show is stupid,boring and unpredictable,it's about this girl named Carly Shay and she gets her BFF'S Sam,Freddie and her brother Spencer to help her with this silly website called Icarly.I really dislike this show and they're's too many insultive moments.This show has to get bummed or else.
  • A once decent show ruined by horrible writing.

    "Poor"
    iCarly started off as a decent and innocent show. It wasn't FANTASTIC, but it was watchable nonetheless. Season 1-2 were both decent - had some funny gags and decent values. My parents and I would always gather around to watch a new episode. Then Season 3 came along..

    When I first saw "iThink They Kissed" (the Season 3 premiere)...something was off. Very off. The episode felt..different. I couldn't quite figure it out. I enjoyed it less than I did before. The humor was bland, and the ending was HORRIBLE (seriously...the couch falling? That's it?). Then, as the weeks progressed, the episodes got worse and worse (iCook...what were the writers thinking?!). The jokes were...OKAY I suppose. They got slightly better, but not by much. I feared the show may hit a seasonal rot in Season 3.

    Unfortunately, I was right. I have a lot of problems with the newer seasons. I suppose Flanderization is the main issue though.

    -Freddie gets abused WAY too much, to the point where I honestly feel sorry for him. A lot of the times in the episodes, the abuse is just thrown in for the lulz. Want an example? Okay. In iParty With Victorious, Carly (yes, CARLY, not Sam) just randomly hits Freddie out of the blue for thinking Tori was good looking. Finally, after hearing the truth that her boyfriend was cheating on her, Freddie decides to go beat him up. How does Carly convince him to stop? She bluntly calls him a nerd, and that he'll get his butt kicked. Gee, nice way to be a friend, Carly. What happened to the Carly who was nice to Freddie from Seasons 1-2?

    -Sam is downright rotten - granted she was in the older episodes, but at least she apologized to people like Freddie. Now she is just plain selfish.

    -Carly is a bit dumber (at least from what I've seen...getting her toe stuck in the bathtub..really?).

    -Spencer is really annoying now, and nowadays he just seems to be extra space for the sub-plots of episodes.

    -As said before, Gibby is basically just dumbed down for a younger audience. I missed him when he was a minor character. This shows that minor characters should STAY minor characters.

    -A lot of the endings now are cheap and rushed, mainly Season 3-4 episodes. A prime example of that is the ending of iThink They Kissed, as I said above. Nowadays, the endings barely conclude the episode at all or resolve the conflicts the characters struggled.

    I gotta say, Dan hired some of the worst writers I've ever seen, or the writers in general just hit a Writer's Block, because Season 3 and beyond have some truly awful episodes. Yes, I know Seasons 1-2 had episodes like iMeet Fred, but at least not all of them were bad. I realized now Nickelodeon was just milking the poor show for all it was worth due to its rating success in Seasons 1-2. They started overhyping the crap out of so many episodes, as the show became a new symbol for Nickelodeon.

    Season 4 was a slight improvement, but some of the episodes were just boring. Then that stupid Fan War movie came along..I shook my head in shame and sadness. That had to be the STUPIDEST plot for a movie ever and did not deserve to be an hour long. At that point, I gave up on the show entirely. It saddened me to see how such a once decent show became utter shit (This is just my honest opinion).

    I've only seen bits and pieces of Season 5, but from what I saw, I wasn't too impressed. Anyways, I basically stopped watching the show whole. But you know what? Even though the show is terrible now (in my eyes), if it weren't for the newer seasons, the show wouldn't be such a hit.

    Overall, I'd probably give the show an 8 for the older ones, but the newer ones? Probably a one. I haven't seen any of Season 6, so I dunno if it is better or worse. Take of this what you will.moreless

    "Terrible"
    How is this popular? After all the bad messages it sends? Follow the crowd, being rude, aggressive, and disobedient is cool, make fun of the homeless, and so on. I can only think of one good thing about this show... wait.. I can't.. IT'S HORRIBLE. It should be on Teen Nick or ABC Family, but not nickelodeon. See, this is why kids are so rude nowadays. I like how they live in Seattle (well maybe that can count as the only good thing in the show) considering I live in Washington myself. But I just don't like this show. Gibby used to be cute, but now he tries too hard to be funny. I mean he's like, how old now? Grow up. I'm sick and tired of being called a hobknocker by the other kids on the block (the real word is cocknocker, what a great example for kids) and hearing kids scream AW SHIZ or WHAT THE FUDGE. Like, seriously? Like we don't know what those mean? And now it's having love drama LOVE DRAMA. It's a freaking kids show!! Kid's do not want drama!! (Example; Freddy and Carly dating, Sam and Freddy dating, I mean it was pretty bad before but at least it didn't have this drama crap..) Also, kids tend to act like Sam since they think she's "cool".. believe me I hang out with kids waay too often for an 18 year old o_o
    Overall, I wouldn't mind AT ALL if this overrated crap got cancelled (seriously, it's more popular than American Idol..) so please, spare our children from this shamful show, and at least give us a show with DECENT morals instead of bad ones...moreless
